𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 “𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽.”

Dynamic rotation isn’t just about producing force.

It’s about absorbing and controlling it when you decelerate.

That’s where most injuries and inefficiencies show up:

❌ Losing trunk control at end range
❌ Failing to sequence deceleration through the chain
❌ Letting momentum overpower stability

Rotation absorption drills — like controlled swings and catches — train:

✅ Eccentric control through the torso and hips
✅ Timing of deceleration
✅ The capacity to handle force without leaking energy

If you want your athlete's rotational power to be safe and repeatable, they need to own the brakes, not just the gas.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱.

Before you start chasing medball throws and explosive slams, you need to earn the capacity to rotate with control and intent.

Loaded rotational exercises build:

✅ Strength through the range of motion
✅ Hip–shoulder separation capacity
✅ The ability to resist unwanted movement under load

Think of them as the foundation that makes your power work actually transferable.

Because real rotational performance comes from sequencing strength, absorption, and acceleration.

TEACH YOUR CLIENTS & PATIENTS TO RESIST FLEXION UNDER LOAD

If they can’t control their upper (and lower) back under load, they’ll lose positioning in:

Training extension through a variety of angles and positions creates awareness of how to maintain active extension under load

This

☝️ exposes the back extensors to direct load post pain and/or injury

✌️ builds capacity & strength to resist flexion

🤟 transfers to important lifts like the squat and deadlift

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁.

Most people think of Goodmornings as a hip hinge drill.

But when you take the hips out of it, you reveal the real limiting factor:

🦴 Lumbar and thoracic extension strength.

✅ No momentum
✅ No help from the hips
✅ Just pure spinal control

This is one of my favorite exercises to:

🔹 Build multisegmental extension strength
🔹 Reinforce positioning for deadlifts and squats
🔹 Improve upper back endurance under load

If your thoracic spine folds under load, you don’t just need mobility—you need to train the capacity to hold extension.

𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗰 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵? 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵.

Sure—good range of motion is important.

But if you can’t hold that extension under load, you’ll still fold.

Horizontal row variations are one of the most overlooked ways to build real upper back and multisegmental extension strength.

Especially when the torso is parallel to the floor.

✅ Pronated grip bent-over rows
✅ Pendlay rows (dead stop)

These drills don’t just build lats—they teach your thoracic spine to resist flexion when it counts most.

BRAVO 👏 La conception de programmes de rehab individualisés, structurés et périodisés

C'est la 🔑 pour avoir plus d'impact pour vos clients ou patients (sportifs ou non, comme le dit Bruno)

Il s'agit là d'une compétence essentielle qui, dès sa mise en place, apporte des résultats concrets!

Merci, Bruno, de partager ton expérience!

Building a resilient hamstring means exposing it to:

✅ Different joint angles
✅ Different lengths
✅ Different loading strategies

This variety:

🔹 Improves strength through full range
🔹 Builds tolerance to stretch
🔹 Reduces reinjury risk in high-speed or deceleration tasks

In this video, I’m sharing a few of my go-to hamstring exercises—each targeting the muscle in a unique way.

Because real durability isn’t built with a single drill.

It’s built with smart, progressive exposure to what the athlete actually needs.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 ❗

As you move past the early phase of hamstring rehab, it’s time to:

✅ Progress from knee flexion work to eccentric lengthening exercises
✅ Transition from neural gliding to neural tensioning drills

Why this matters:

🔹 Eccentric loading at longer lengths builds true resilience where most strains happen—hip flexion + knee extension.
🔹 Neural tensioning improves nerve mobility under tension—not just in unloaded positions.

This phase bridges the gap between early rehab and real-world demands:

⚡ Deceleration
⚡ High-speed running
⚡ Full-range force production

Early-phase rehab is about restoring capacity—not only in the muscle, but in the nerve mobility around it.

That’s why I pair:

✅ Knee flexion-focused exercises (to build strength and cross-sectional area)
✅ Neural gliding drills (to restore normal nerve mobility and reduce adverse tension)

🔹 Knee flexion work helps the muscle regain tolerance and load capacity.
🔹 Neural glides reduce scarring and improve excursion of the sciatic nerve—so the hamstring can move with it instead of fighting it.

This approach not only builds a stronger muscle but creates space for safer progression to longer-length loading later on.

Stretches help…
Stability drills help…
Loading helps…

…but only if you sequence them intentionally.

Here’s the 3-step strategy I use to help clients move from pain to performance:

1️⃣ Mobilize
Create subtle but crucial SI joint motion.
Reduce discomfort and open a window for change.

2️⃣ Activate
Reinforce pelvic control.
Teach the system how to limit excessive motion.

3️⃣ Load
Progressively train the SI joint to tolerate load.

Movement is never one-dimensional.
If you want lasting results, you need mobility, control, and load tolerance—all working together.

Meet Mai

Mai-Linh Dovan is a Certified Athletic Therapist and leading industry expert in functional rehabilitation. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Therapy and a Master’s degree in Exercise Science from Concordia University, where she worked in collaboration with the Department of Psychology and the Centre for Research in Human Development. With over 20 years of experience in clinical rehabilitation and strength and conditioning, she has developed a comprehensive and unique functional training approach with integrated rehabilitation.

She uses this approach with a diversity of athletes and clients from bodybuilders, powerlifters, CrossFit athletes, as well as athletes from many sports and recreational lifters struggling with various problems: recovery from cervical and thoracic fractures, low back and shoulder dysfunction, dysfunctional movement patterns. It has led many to unleash their full performance potential.

Mai-Linh is also the founder of Rehab-U | Movement and Performance Therapy, an online platform for innovative movement optimization and (p)rehabilitation tools and services for athletes and active individuals. The platform also serves as a resource for personal trainers, strength coaches, and fitness professionals.

It is using this innovative approach rooted in clinical strategies and geared towards prevention and performance, that Mai-Linh developed the Movement Optimization for Prehab and Performance Course. This course provides the principles to effectively assess and identify movement dysfunction as well as strategies, means and methods to build a rehabilitation- integrated intervention.

Découvrez Mai

Mai-Linh Dovan est Thérapeute du Sport agréée et une experte de l'industrie en matière de réadaptation fonctionnelle. Elle est titulaire d’un baccalauréat en Thérapie du sport et d’une maîtrise en Sciences de l’exercice de l’Université Concordia, où elle a travaillé en collaboration avec le Département de psychologie et le Centre de recherche en développement humain. Forte de plus de 20 ans d’expérience en réadaptation clinique et en entraînement, elle a développé une approche en entraînement fonctionnel complète et unique avec réadaptation intégrée.

Elle utilise cette approche avec une diversité d'athlètes et de clients tels que bodybuilders, dynamophiles, athlètes CrossFit, ainsi que des athlètes de nombreux sports et des gens actifs aux prises avec divers problèmes. Cela a permis à plusieurs de libérer leur plein potentiel de performance.

Mai-Linh est également la fondatrice de Rehab-U | Movement and Performance Therapy, une plateforme en ligne offrant des outils et services novateurs d'optimisation du mouvement et de (p) réadaptation, destinés aux athlètes et aux personnes actives. La plate-forme sert également de ressource pour les kinésiologues et professionnels de l’entraînement.

C’est en utilisant cette approche novatrice ancrée dans des stratégies cliniques et axée sur la prévention et la performance que Mai-Linh a développé le cours « Optimisation du mouvement pour la prehab et la performance ». Ce cours enseigne les principes permettant d'évaluer et d'identifier de façon efficace les dysfonctions du mouvement, ainsi que des stratégies, des moyens et des méthodes permettant de mettre en place une intervention avec réadaptation intégrée.
