💪 Exercise and movement improves quality of life in many ways. In addition to making your heart and muscles stronger and fending off a host of diseases, it can also improve your mental and emotional functioning and even improve productivity. Exercise helps and maintains communities by fostering activities enjoyed by many in a healthful manner.

Exercise and movement wards off depression, increases cognitive function by increasing blood circulation to the brain, promotes better sleep, and improve physical fitness, providing better access to the world around us.

Walk, run, play, or dance, move. ✌🏽️

💪 Core exercises train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and stability, whether on the playing field or in daily activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.

Core strength is especially helpful in preventing injuries of the lower extremities – hips, legs and ankles – that can result from running, jumping or lateral/cutting movements in sports like soccer.

Why include these exercise in a core stabilization program?

- A bridge exercise isolates and strengthens your gluteus (butt) muscles — the gluteus maximus, medius and minimus — and hamstrings, which are the main muscles that make up the posterior chain.

- Stirring the pot is a great way to engage and strengthen your anterior core muscles, predominantly the abdominals. To a lesser extent, your lats, lower back, obliques and shoulders will also receive a work out and keeping your glutes tight adds strength here too.

- The dead bug exercise is a safe and effective way to strengthen and stabilize your core, spine, and back muscles. This improves your posture and helps relieve and prevent low back pain. You'll also improve balance and coordination. ✌🏽️

💪 Running requires a greater demand on the body that just walking requiring greater muscle strength, balance, and endurance. With increasing speed comes increased air time comes more need for single leg support and shock absorption, essentially, better biomechanics.

Developing good running technique encourages better motor patterning and muscle recruitment. This will help improve your running efficiency and reduce the risk of fatigue including overuse injuries – particularly with longer and more frequent running.

3 key components we watch for at ESPT:

1. Body position/posture including neutral spine and pelvis, reciprocal arm swing
2. Foot strike position - heel toe, good foot strong in relation to your center of mass
3. Cadence - should be constant regardless of speed which helps stride length, combat fatigue, allow for better biomechanics.

Every runner is different, and while there is no one ideal running form, performing a running gait analysis allows you to see abnormal movements that reduce the efficiency of your running like overstriding, excessive vertical body translation, and insufficient arm swing. ✌🏽️

💪🏽 Squatting targets the muscles in the legs, lower back, and core. It can help people strengthen their muscles and burn fat. However, performing a squat without learning the proper form can cause injury.

The specific benefits to the body include strengthens the muscles, in the legs, including the quadriceps, calves, and hamstrings, knees and low back.

Good form is important for maximum benefits and avoiding misplaced loads on ones and low back.

Roger is using different tactile cues to improve bilateral loading with the mobility stick, technique with wall glutei taps, as well as monster band rear resisted mini squats to improve hip hinge ability. 💪🏽

INTEGRATED FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT.

We are MOVEMENT SPECIALISTS. ESPT utilizes the power of Movement in healing.

Our approach is based on the idea of understanding every patients “WHY” they are having pain. We look into the reasons of why patients may be suffering from tendonitis, low back pain, and even a ligament or tendon tear requiring surgery. We look for those contributing impairments that may be causing the pain and targeting those during treatment. We analyze impairments to focus on the whole body and not just treating the site of the pain.
