Three coaching cues to prevent back injury

1. Learn to brace or you will compresses the spine.

2. Keep a neutral spine when loading or you will put pressure on the intervertebral discs.

3. Learn to recruit the glutes or you will extend through the back.

3 exercises to fix hip dysfunction.

I hear many story’s of amateur sports people having serious hip problems when they are older.

I believe I was on the trajectory to serious hip problems but restored my hip function. And these are the top 3 exercises I’ve found to feel my hips properly when doing basic functional movements like the squat and deadlift.

Reintroduction post ✏️

7 years now as a coach with a BSc in Sport Science. My background is in biomechanics. My dissertation was on the validity of the “Functional Movement Screen” as a tool to measure dysfunction.

Member of the NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association) and I’ve put the knowledge into practice over the last 7 years.

Continuing to refine movement assessments and implementation of corrective strategies.

At 35 years old I still have the goal of being as competitively fit as possible, doing as much sport as my body allows.
