Tightness between the shoulder blades may be coming from mobility restrictions in the posterior rib cage. Exercises that expand the posterior rib cage and move the scapula forward through breathwork, reaching movements, and rotational movements can be helpful tools to provide relief against chronic tightness between the shoulder blades.

If your low back is feeling tight, try these 4 movements to loosen it up. 😄

1️⃣ Dead bug with Reach & Trunk Rotation
2️⃣ Kickstand Slouched RDL
3️⃣ 90/90 Hip Lift with Reach
4️⃣ 3D Stretch

The goal with these exercises is to mobilize the spine & pelvis and loosen up the tissues around the low back and hips. Give these 4 movements a shot. 👍

Lateral Squats ↔️

One of my favorite ways to teach someone to move in the frontal plane is with lateral squats.

🔑 One of the main goals is learning to lateralize your center of mass over the stance leg in a tripled flexed position. Finding a wide enough base is the first step.
🔑 Load the inside edge of the foot. This allows you to absorb and decelerate your mass to then redirect it back to the opposite direction.
🔑 Using this exercise is a great way to work on some loaded hip mobility as well.

Having a system of principles to set a foundation for your approach to rehabbing an injury and optimizing athletic performance is essential.

This is a simplified graphic that represents our overarching principles that ground our decision making when working with each of our clients.

Implementing strategies early on to manage pain when an injury is fresh is definitely needed. But if you are someone that keeps suffering from the same repeated injuries over and over again then working through a specialized training and rehab program like we outlined here is appropriate.

We help people by rebuilding their athleticism from the ground up and to pull them out of the vicious repetitive injury cycle.

This means no shortcuts, hard work, and lots of success.

Get started with us by jumping on a discovery phone call with one of our physical therapists. Sign up for your call via the link in our bio!
