It’s a spring Friday: are you getting out and enjoying yourself? Now’s a good time to open up (abduct) those hips -- if you want to get rid of that foot, ankle and leg pain -- check your (and your clients’) running strides, move more, and move better…but don’t forget to rest (at least 72 hours!) after those big efforts!

(In)Stability is the theme of this week’s Victory Friday ( #133): how it often masquerades as stubborn stiffness and tightness, or hides its true cause in adjacent “side door” tissues. Even as we age — and feel (or act) increasingly stiff — we can still harbor significant joint instability.

Spring is here! Time to get that fascia unwound, warm up those throwing arms, and open up those hips. Some key reminders to get you mobile and active as the weather warms up:

addressing the all sides of painful joint, freeing the superficial fascia, the often-overlooked “shoulder landscape” (ribcage and scapula) for pain-free throwing, how to safely check and restore full hip extension, and why “landscape work” delivers rapid results for shoulder issues in pitchers and other elite athletes.

Enjoy Issue 129!
