Optimize full body rotation with Lift Clinic's team of physio, chiro, RMT and strength coaches!
In our last post of this series, we demonstrated various reset techniques that Lift clinicians may use to restore rotation in the spine, hips, and knees.
In this post, we’ll show some examples of reinforcing exercises to maintain and build on the gains. This is one of the most important steps in the treatment plan to lift you towards your movement goals.
See what our clients have to say :
I’ve been going to Heather for a couple of weeks now to do physio pilates and I really enjoy it. She is good at explaining things and using my time productively and is helping me to target muscle development in new ways.
Great initial assessment with Henry. I feel like I’m beginning to understand my recovery and what I need to work on to improve my condition. I left with a great impression and immediately booked more visits.
What does it mean to reinforce and reload?
Reinforce = exercises or self treatments that help maintain the gains made from the reset techniques.
Reload = exercises that develop strength, resilience, and coordination for the desired movement pattern.
Tibial Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs)
Tibial Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs). Inspired by the functional range conditioning (FRC) concepts, this exercise allows the client to move through all the movements available from the knee.
Side lying thoracic rotation variations
Side lying thoracic rotation variations. The position allows for more isolated movement of the thoracic spine by locking out the lumbar spine and hips.
Half kneeling hip rotation hovers
Half kneeling hip rotation hovers. This exercise allows for active stretching of the hip flexors and quad muscles, as well as active hip internal and external rotation from a hip extended position.
Hip internal rotation lift offs
Hip internal rotation lift offs. Inspired by the functional range conditioning (FRC) concepts, this exercise allows the client to move through all the movements available from the knee.
