If you struggle with ankle sprains, or tight feeling calves or feet after an ankle sprain, reach out.

Set up before you load each exercise.

Set your alignment to decrease wear and tear on joints.

Establish your breathing, which helps with core and spine stabilization.

Control the movement pattern by maintaining the above and stopping when you begin to compensate or recruit excess muscles for the task.

Common signs of lack of control with the seated hip hinge can include: bending through the lower back, lifting the chest, dropping the head and neck, or jutting the chin out.

Even an exercise like the tricep push-down or extension, which seems simple, must be performed with optimal alignment of the head, neck, trunk, spine, and shoulders. It requires proper stabilization with three-dimensional breathing and optimal control (using the right muscles for the activity and avoiding over-recruitment of unnecessary muscles).
