The best feeling in the world is seeing our patients crush their recovery goals! (Even if we have a little main-character moment about it) 😎

Let’s make the clamshell more functional. Try these progressions:

-standing clamshell (leg rotates up and out to the side without the pelvis moving.

-hip opener + clamshell (keep the standing leg still as the pelvis rotates to the side followed by a clamshell)

-add a band to either of these options!

Try to keep your knee centred over your foot 👣- mines a bit wobbly!

This patient had dealt with hip and back pain before.
But his goal wasn’t to spend 45 minutes doing mobility every day…

He works at a desk and wanted something simple he could do at the office, at home or while travelling.

So we built him 5 bodyweight movements.

No equipment.

No complicated setup.

No generic stretching routine.

Just movements chosen for what his body needed, in a routine he could actually use anywhere.

That’s what a good plan should look like.

Built around you. Not the other way around.

AKA Floating heel intrinsic foot strengthening:

Here’s a simple exercise with great yield;

- Slacken the knees and lift your heels slightly off the ground.

- Keep all the toes on the ground. The goal is to hold this position for 3 minutes.

- This will strengthen the little (but essential) muscles in the foot that are needed for, well, everything.

Great for distance runners and anyone considered a human!

Maggie’s Favourite Exercise: Bulgarian Split Squat!

A great exercise for targeting the glutes and quads while also challenging your balance and stability.

Working one leg at a time helps engage your stabilizing muscles and can be especially useful for addressing strength differences between legs

You can’t trust everyone…

Especially whoever was supposed to catch me.

But you should be able to trust that your treatment is doing more than just chasing where it hurts.

Pain is often the alarm, not the whole problem.

Our job is to figure out why it keeps showing up, address what’s actually driving it, and build your body back up so you can get back to running, riding, lifting, skiing, whatever you love doing.

Less guessing.
Less temporary relief.

More understanding the problem and actually fixing it.
That’s the difference.

The clamshell is very commonly prescribed exercise, but is often done incorrectly. Follow these tips to make sure you’re getting the most out of it!

-ribcage and pelvis are in line with each other and slightly tipped forward

-knee lifts up without the pelvis moving

This ensures that your hip is actually doing the work while also training your brain to keep your body stable while your leg moves.
Next week we’ll get the clamshell off the floor to make it more functional!
