One of my favourite phrases ever because it’s so true!

The journey isn’t always smooth but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it or that you can’t do it.

Happy Monday!!

The goal of today’s mobility is to help maintain overhead stability while going into a squat.
Hip disassociation is something that we should all be able to do as humans to some extent.

We should be able to go into a squat without automatically caving our chest forward - usually that is a sign of core weakness.

Cues for this one:
▶️ Stand wide to start and get narrower as your hip range of motion improves and your core gets stronger
▶️ Hold the band wider and just like with the hips - make it narrower as your range of motion improves.
▶️ Drop into a squat first while trying to keep a relatively upright torso - only go as low as you can with control
▶️ Once you get more comfortable with the squat - THEN you can add the rotation

A great warm up if you’re planning on doing any Olympic movements or overhead lifting

Happy Thanksgiving Crew!!

I’m thankful for so much this year I wouldn’t be able to put it all in a caption.

I’m thankful for my family, my friends, and great coworkers!

Im also very thankful for this community that has kept me learning and out of my comfort zone! The fact that I’m still passionate about creating and educating through this page years after it was just an idea when I first graduated university is insane. You keep that fire going so thank you!

Enjoy your day with family 🤍🤍

Happy Wednesday!

If you guys have been following me for a while, you know that I am a huge fan of single leg power as I have a sprinting background.

Single leg power is important if you’re and athlete for so many reasons.

➡️ allows you to accelerate better, changed direction better
➡️ helps work on your agility
➡️ teaches you to move more efficiently on the court, field, ice

Happy Monday!

Spent an amazing time with the work team in the Okanagan over the weekend and I’m quite excited to be back at work. I’ll be posting my available hours on my story if anyone wants to come in for treatment or training.

Talking about training - one of my favourite things to train personally is hip dissassociation and core strength. Especially cause a lot of the hip/back pain people deal with comes from overactive or tight hips. Having a strong core is good in maintaining hip mobility because for hips to move, the muscles around it have to be able to contract & relax. If your core strength comes from your hip flexors contracting all the time, then they become overactive and that starts to limit your hip extension which can cascade to other things.

Happy Wednesday!!

Same/same but different.

To someone just browsing - these throws might seem similar but they’re so different in terms of what they work on and how efficient they are.

The first one is mostly upper body rotation and you can clearly see how even though the ball is moving - the impact it has on the wall is not even close to the second one.

The second throw starts with the glutes and being able to transfer the force from them to the upper body during rotation.
For this to happen, you need two very important things - hip mobility & hip strength.

This is a small reminder to all athletes involved in “throwing/catching/shooting” sports that for you to be efficient- you have to learn to incorporate your lower body in the mix.
