Pelvic Floor Towel Mobilization
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
Do you have tightness or spasticity in your pelvic floor? Hint: most athletes do! Your pelvic floor and diaphragm have a reciprocal relationship - meaning that while one is contracting, the other should be relaxing. This exercise helps give your body and brain feedback so you can evaluate whether or not you feel movement in your pelvic floor as you breathe. While performing this exercise you sh...
Top 2 Pelvic Floor Stretches!
Просмотров 340Год назад
This video demonstrates the top 2 pelvic floor stretches with regressions and progressions for each! More often than not, the athletes that we work with tend to need pelvic floor RELAXATION instead of strengthening. Kegels and strength training are the usual “go-to” exercises when people think of the pelvic floor, but this is the LAST thing you’d want to perform as an athlete with an overactive...
How To Perform Kegel
Просмотров 137Год назад
Kegels are a great way to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, BUT they are not the end all be all. They are very commonly prescribed, but we find more often than not, athletes need relaxation instead of strength training of their pelvic floor. Fun fact: “leaking” doesn’t automatically mean that your pelvic floor is weak! However, if you and your pelvic floor therapist find that you do need st...
Golf Hip and Trunk Turn
Просмотров 265Год назад
Always showing up to the golf course feeling tight or struggling to drop bombs? Working on the mobility and coordination to separate the trunk from the pelvis as you swing is a crucial component to generating power. A good way to approach these are making sure you only move one area- so, if you’re moving the trunk keep the pelvis still and if you’re moving the hips, keep the trunk still! Give t...

The Glute Med Captain Morgan is one of the most fire glute exercises out there. And as we move, these muscles work to not just move the leg but stabilize the pelvis.

Best Hip Stretch For Athletes [Posterior Hip Capsule Self-Release]
Просмотров 20 тыс.Год назад
This exercise takes our standard posterior hip capsule release to the next level. Adding a band to provide lateral distraction to the joint REALLY opens things up. The posterior hip capsule is often the tightest part of the hip, and is what prevents a smooth, deep, comfortable squat. This hip opener also improves hip hinging - a key movement pattern for a healthy lower back! Perform it for 2 mi...

    Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I loved your insight as it is assisting me currently through a hamstring strain. I heard 3 pops during a yoga class (after I taught one, and without adequate rest in the previous 24 hours). As I’m approaching the 2nd week of its start, I’ve been fighting the urge to stretch it and practice. I’m literally screaming on the inside, but I dare not to risk it. Even when subbing, I’m taking it easy and allowing modifications to become a different flow for my students unknowingly. But thank you, because now I feel like I found a lighthouse in this storm. 🙏🏽

    I came across your video while searching a problem my wife has. It seems to be called Cervicothorcic Junction from my week of online searching. For years she gets a on again - off again swelling bump at the C8-T1 connection. I've been in a wheelchair and unable to roll or situp even in bed. So she rolls me and aligns me by reaching out and using her upper body and back mucles basically to roll and position me. We use a patient lift, but it only does so much. My question is, do you think your exercise in the video would help? We have a doctors appointment again next week, but they always just want to push tablets or do injections. Yes, we've seen maybe a dozen doctors over the last 8 or so years:<(

    • @thecharlotteathlete
      @thecharlotteathlete 5 месяцев назад

      Hey there! So this movement increases hindfoot valgus, which is more consistent with high arches. It sounds like you're dealing with a arch collapse and excessive hindfoot valgus, so this may not be the best for you. If you are interested in a detailed evaluation to get you on track shoot us an email at info@thecharlotteathlete.com. We do virtual visits as well if you live outside of Charlotte! -Dr. Andrew

    How do you recover with a hamstring tendon tear AND a labrum tear with bursitis? It's been over 6 weeks since pain got really bad - I believe I had this problem 5 years ago and now It just never heals. MRI confirmed (feels better then reinjury I'm guessing). Ice is the only thing keeping the pain at bay still. I can't seem to make progress. Any help with all these at once?

  • @gcruishank9663
    @gcruishank9663 7 месяцев назад

    Just strained the upper middle (between back and side) of my right hamy pretty bad from going for a PR on squats. SOOO frustrating! 😩 Glad I watched this because I always thought (light) stretching was a good idea. Also glad you didn’t recommend icing the area, I’ve learned that’s not a good idea. I’ve found a TENS electrical stimulation unit to help with pain and speed up recovery, what’s your thoughts on those? Also, why are only eccentric movements advised and not concentric?

    and how can I do deadlifts with a torn hamstring?

  • @jennyfromtheblock1
    @jennyfromtheblock1 8 месяцев назад

    These are great, but how am I supposed to do step ups or a lot of the exercises when my hamstring is torn? If there is pain? My glutes were already strong from doing most of these so I am not sure how injured/tore my hamstring. I guess I am uncertain as to when I can do what.

    • @ginishere928
      @ginishere928 7 месяцев назад

      When it comes to a torn muscle, you simply try to observe if there is any discomfort or pain. A completely torn muscle is easy to deal with, but it is more severe that just a tear. If you have a complete torn ham, then it take more time to heal. On a hamstring strain, it takes about 14 weeks for the muscle to remodel it self, where the rehab is broken down to 3 stages, the early stage which starts from day 1 till day 3 of the injury, the intermediate stage starts from day 4 till day 21 and the late/ return to sport stage where it last from day 22 until 14 weeks. In the first stage you should do exercises that are safe for your hastrings, simple and limited, working on safe degrees. On stage two, you should aim for restoration of the range of motion of your hammies, and on stage 3, you should start doing more difficult exercises, while you have restored full range of motion, which means that you have 0 pain on your hamstrings. And also the duration of each stage depends on how your body heals, if you exercise a lot prior to the injury and if you had sustained an injury in the same location before. Remember, the easiest exrcises are performed in the first days of the injury and then the more complex and sport- specific ones are performed after the full range of motion is restored.

    @Dowdyguy 10 месяцев назад

    Great advice - thank you! I've had a strain from (I think) a therapy session where I added heavier bands during the 'monster walk' and other exercises, which caused a slowly growing pain until I realized what was causing it. I've had the problem even sitting for 20 minutes (car, desk, motorcycle). I'm now wondering if it's just nerve pain, after 5-6 months - based on what you said here.

    • @thecharlotteathlete
      @thecharlotteathlete 10 месяцев назад

      Sounds like a nerve issue. If its a hamstring strain, aka a muscle strain, then simply not contracting it or stretching it should bring significant pain relief. Pain when not using it, especially after long periods of sitting usually indicated nerve tension.

    Thanks for posting this. I'm having to rethink my PT a bit in recovering from hamstring avulsion surgery. I'm also dealing with a knee issue and I've been to 3 therapists about my gait because it feels like one leg is longer. I've been in therapy for 3.5 mos. and we are focusing on getting knee impingement down, but my hamstring is still so weak as we have not isolated it yet. It's frustrating. My poor therapist is trying to get it all in control. I'm taking next week off PT to do some alternative therapies for my knee (compression, cryotherapy, soundwave therapy and infrared sauna). Thanks!
