⚓️Want more range of motion??

🌊Train, load, and lift into that range of motion!

🌊Static stretching alone will not give you the carryover effect that you are looking for.

🌊 While lifting may place a short-term deficit on flexibility (due to DOMS), if you return to lifting through that full range of motion, you will keep and potentially improve your mobility (provided you continue to progress the range/load that you work through)

2 birds, 1 stone: Lifting can improve mobility AND your ability to tolerate load & produce force through that new range!

⚓️FLEXIBILITY: “ability of a muscle or muscle groups to lengthen passively through a range of motion”

⚓️MOBILITY: “ability of a joint to move actively through a range of motion”

🌊Mobility training is more effective than traditional “stretching” because it is based on movement AND motor control. Your central nervous system will limit your mobility based on how much control you have as a way to keep your body safe.

🌊Think of mobility as a combination of flexibility and strength.

🌊Mobility is dynamic or active, where flexibility is passive.

🌊Countless scientific studies have failed to prove that stretching is able to be maintained long term. Unfortunately, the effect is only temporary. If you are trying to stretch a muscle over a joint that has a mobility restriction, the muscle will never be able to lengthen to its full extent as the joint won’t allow it to move far enough.

🌊Muscles require strength and stability in order to maintain this new found range of motion. Performing mobility work is best done before you exercise

🤸‍♂️Motion is lotion🤸‍♂️

🌊Movement will lubricate the joints allowing you to achieve greater ranges of motion more easily. Mobility work prior to training also allows you to strengthen your body in your new and improved range of motion and therefore the effects will last. For mobility to last, you will need to do it frequently!

Mobility tips:

•JOINT range of motion is 👑 – move your joints first before focusing on muscles.
•Move with strength, control and stability to maintain gains
•Use a foam roller only as an ADJUNCT to your mobility program (it alone will not provide results)
•Move gently and regularly – if you don’t use it, you lose it!!!

⚓️Passive treatment can help with immediate pain relief, but active treatment keeps the patient functional in the long term.

🌊Passive treatment doesn't require you to do anything, therapists are many times in control during this type of treatment getting their hands in there or using aides like needles, cups or tape.

🌊 Active physical therapy involves exercises that you purposely engage in and exert physical effort to carry out. You use your muscles to go through a range of exercises designed to help strengthen your muscles and increase range of motion.

•ACTIVE•
✅ Mobility Work
✅ Strengthening
✅ Aerobic Exercise
✅ Stretching
✅ Range-of-motion exercises
✅ Progressive resistance exercises
✅ Plyometrics

•PASSIVE•
❌ Ultrasound
❌ Electrical Stimulation
❌ Massage
❌ Manipulations
❌ Heat/Ice
❌ Medication/Cortisone Injections
❌ IcyHot/Biofreeze
❌ Cupping
❌ Taping

Active & Passive Treatment options used TOGETHER can bring about optimal results.

TRX BRIDGES

⚓️ Perform 3x10. Progress to 3x12 and then 3x15. Start with legs elevated in TRX straps and lift hips up towards the ceiling. Be sure to maintain core engagement & stay in a neutral spine position. You can complete repetitions back to back or you can hold for 5 seconds at the top for longer core engagement. Only lift as far as you can while maintaining this core engagement. If your back starts to arch, you are not in a neutral spine position, but an anterior tilt instead (we don’t want this).

🌊This exercise is great for people with general low back pain.

🌊 This is a progression of the “neutral spine braving/pelvic tilt” exercise, which is perhaps the most important exercise to master before moving forward with more complex movements- whether that be PT exercises or general lifting at the gym.

🌊 Learning how to brace your core is extremely important as this should occur while performing a whole host of different exercises in order to maximize the benefit of the exercise and protect yourself from injury.

🌊 Neutral spine positioning is where you should live most of your life- sitting, standing, picking something up etc so, it will help you avoid injury and chronic pain if you understand how to get into it and work up the muscular endurance/create a habit of remaining in it.

SWISS BALL V-UP

⚓️ Start with sets of 10x. As this becomes east and you are still able to maintain core engagement and keep back on floor, increase reps to 12, then 15. If there is a gap between your back and the ground, you are not in a neutral spine position, but an anterior tilt (we don’t want this). The further you drop arms/legs down, the more difficult the exercise will be. Only go down as far as you can still maintain back flat against the ground and core engaged.

🌊 This is a progression of the “dead bug” exercise. Both encompass the “neutral spine bracing” which is perhaps the most important exercise to master before moving forward with more complex movements- whether that be PT exercises or general lifting at the gym.

Teaching Radial Nerve Glides

⚡️What are nerve glides?

Nerve flossing is a type of gentle exercise that stretches irritated nerves. This can improve their range of motion and reduce pain. It's sometimes called nerve gliding or neural gliding. Nerve flossing tends to work best when combined with other treatments.

⚡️Why do we do them?

Just like everything else in your body, the nerves can get “tight”. Sometimes people feel a “tightness” that doesn’t get better with stretching or even gets worse- sending paresthesias (or nerve symptoms) down the arm/leg. This is because the “tightness” they are feeling is not coming from the muscles/tendons, but from the nerves instead. The nerves do not have a lot of stretch, so when the little bit of “slack” that they do have is taken up (often due to posture), symptoms can emerge.

Nerve gliding exercises encourage the nerves to glide normally as you move your joints. A nerve may not glide well if it is injured or inflamed, as it can get entrapped in the surrounding soft tissue. Therefore, nerve gliding exercises are often used post-surgery or as part of a rehabilitation program from an injury.

⚡️What are paresthesias (nerve symptoms)?

Paresthesias are an abnormal sensation, typically tingling or pricking caused chiefly by pressure (including inflammation) on or damage to peripheral nerves. These sensations include:

•Numbness
•Tingling
•Pins & Needles
•Burning
•Weakness
•Cold
•Electric-like Pain
•Sharp-Shooting Pain

👩🏼‍⚕️Physical Therapists now have DOCTORATE degrees. That’s 7 years of school (4 Undergrad + 3 Graduate).

For the majority of the 90s, PT was simply a BACHELORS degree. Then, in the late 90s it began transitioning to a MASTERS degree. Not long after it had fully transitioned to a Master’s program, the transition to DOCTORATE programs began.

🥼In 2016, the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education made the DPT the REQUIRED degree for all of its accredited entry-level programs.

👩🏼‍⚕️Is a DPT & PhD the same?

The DPT is a clinical doctorate degree. The PhD is a philosophical doctorate.

👩🏼‍⚕️Can PTs call themselves “doctors”?

YES! Completing a 3-year Doctor of Physical Therapy program qualifies one to use the title “Dr.” in front their name.

We often use the word “doctor” (Like, “I need to go to the doctor for my check-up.) when what we really mean is “physician”. The profession is a “physician”. The degree is a “doctorate”. Hence, why anyone with a doctorate degree can use the prefix Dr. including:

DPT- Doctor of Physical Therapy
DC- Doctor of Chiropractic
MD- Medical Doctor
DO- Doctor of Osteopathathic Medicine
PhD- Doctor of Philosophy (professors etc)…

👩🏼‍⚕️Why did PT become a Doctorate degree?

Adoption of the DPT recognized that the complexity of patient needs required a greater understanding of how to treat an individual.

One of the main reasons for this transition was the increase in the number of states with “open-access”-meaning that you were no longer required to have a physician referral in order to attend PT. Because a PT could now be a patient’s first contact regarding an issue, a broader education was required (particularly knowledge regarding general medical conditions, medications & comorbidities) to ensure that a PT could properly recognize and refer out if a patient’s complaint did not appear to be musculoskeletal in nature nor within the PTs scope of practice.

For example, I once had a patient come to me with shoulder pain, however, it did not appear to be musculoskeletal in nature. I believed this was referred pain from something internal. Upon referral, his physician discovered it was actually lung cancer

ELEVATED SINGLE LEG BRIDGES

⚓️Perform 3x10. Progress to 3x12 and then 3x15 before adding any weight/resistance (dropping back down to 3x10 again as resistance or height is increased). Push off of one leg on an elevated surface & leave other leg unsupported in the air. Start with a lower surface and increase step height as the exercise gets easier until you are on a surface at 90 degrees. Be sure to maintain core engagement & stay in a neutral spine position. You can complete repetitions back to back or you can hold for 5 seconds at the top for longer core engagement. Only lift as far as you can while maintaining this core engagement. If your back starts to arch, you are not in a neutral spine position, but an anterior tilt instead (we don’t want this).

🌊 This is a progression of the “pelvic tilt/neutral spine bracing” exercise, which is perhaps the most important exercise to master before moving forward with more complex movements- whether that be PT exercises or general lifting at the gym. It also engages the glutes and hamstrings.

🌊 Learning how to brace your core is extremely important as this should occur while performing a whole host of different exercises in order to maximize the benefit of the exercise and protect yourself from injury.

🌊 Neutral spine positioning is where you should live most of your life- sitting, standing, picking something up etc so, it will help you avoid injury and chronic pain if you understand how to get into it and work up the muscular endurance/create a habit of remaining in it.
