🏐 Get Game-Ready with a Proper Volleyball Warm-Up! 🏐

Before you step onto the court, take a few minutes to prepare your body for the demands of volleyball. A dynamic warm-up can help improve mobility, activate key muscle groups, and reduce your risk of injury. In the video, one of our physical therapists at InMotion demonstrates some common warm-ups and movements utilized for volleyball.

🔹 Upper Body Warm-Up
Prepare your shoulders, arms, and upper back with dynamic movements such as single arm/double arm throws and shoulder reaches to get ready for serving, setting, and hitting.
🔹 Lower Body Warm-Up
Activate your hips, knees, and ankles with exercises like walking lunges, leg swings/hip openers, frog jumps, and lateral shuffles or karaoke to prepare for jumping, cutting, and quick changes of direction.
🔹 Peppering Progression

Finish your warm-up with peppering drills to transition into volleyball-specific movements:
✅ Bump
✅ Set
✅ Spike
Peppering helps improve ball control, communication, reaction time, and coordination while gradually increasing intensity before game-like play.

A few minutes of preparation can make a big difference in your performance on the court. Stay healthy, move well, and play your best! 💪🏐

☀️ Beat the Heat: Don’t Let Dehydration Slow You Down! 💧
As temperatures rise during the summer months, your risk of dehydration increases. Whether you’re exercising, working outdoors, traveling, or simply enjoying the sunshine, your body loses fluids through sweat faster than you may realize.

🚨 Why Do We Become Dehydrated?
• Increased sweating from hot temperatures
• Exercise and outdoor activities
• Not drinking enough fluids throughout the day
• Excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption
• Illnesses that cause vomiting, diarrhea, or fever

⚠️ Common Signs & Symptoms of Dehydration:
• Thirst
• Dry mouth or lips
• Dark-colored urine
• Fatigue or low energy
• Headaches
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Muscle cramps
• Decreased athletic performance

✅ Tips to Prevent Dehydration:
• Drink water consistently throughout the day—not just when you’re thirsty
• Increase fluid intake before, during, and after exercise
• Eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, oranges, and berries
• Take breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas when outdoors
• Replace electrolytes during prolonged activity or heavy sweating
• Monitor urine color—it should be light yellow to clear
Remember: Proper hydration supports muscle function, joint health, energy levels, recovery, and overall performance. Stay ahead of dehydration so you can enjoy everything summer has to offer!

💪Replace electrolytes during prolonged activity or heavy sweating with sports drinks or electrolyte packets. 💧 Need a convenient option? 1st Phorm Hydration Packets are now available at the front desks of InMotion Physical Therapy. Staff-tested, great-tasting, and a simple way to stay hydrated and replenish electrolytes! Ask about it today!

👣 Can You Touch Your Toes?

Trunk flexion, or the “toe touch,” is a fundamental movement pattern that everyone should be able to perform. Whether you’re picking something up from the floor, putting on your shoes, or participating in sports, this movement plays an important role in daily life.

Many people assume that if they can’t touch their toes, they have “tight hamstrings.” In reality, true hamstring tightness only accounts for about 10–20% of cases. For most people, limitations are related to decreased core control, motor control, or how the nervous system coordinates movement.

Try these two corrective exercises:
✅ Trunk Flexion Progression
• Perform 5–10 repetitions in each position, holding for 5 seconds per rep.
• Complete the progression with:
1️⃣ Toes Up
2️⃣ Feet Flat
3️⃣ Heels Up
• A simple 2x4 is all you need for this exercise.

✅ Core-Activated Straight Leg Raise
• Perform 1–2 sets of 10 repetitions on each leg.
• Only a wall is needed for setup and feedback.
Before you start, check your toe touch. Then perform the exercises and test it again afterward. You may be surprised to see an immediate improvement! Finding which exercise helps you the most can provide valuable insight into what’s limiting your movement.

Movement is information. Assess, correct, and reassess to discover what your body needs to move better.
💡 Remember: If your toe touch improves immediately after these exercises, your limitation may be related more to motor control and core function than muscle tightness.

🔹Kids Summer Move Series Part 4: Balance Testing🔹
How is your child’s balance?

A simple way to check is with a single-leg balance test. If standing on one foot is challenging, don’t worry: balance is a skill that can be improved!

In this video, we assess balance with a single-leg stance and then work through a series of exercises that progress through developmental positions, from tall kneeling ➡️ half kneeling ➡️ standing, helping build the strength, coordination, and stability needed for everyday activities and sports.

Want to make it more fun? Turn balance training into a game!
🎾 Catch and throw a ball while balancing
🚶 Walk forward and backward on a straight line
🎯 Create obstacle courses or balance challenges
These activities help develop body awareness, coordination, and confidence while keeping kids engaged and active.

If you’re concerned about your child’s balance, coordination, or movement skills, our physical therapists can help identify areas for improvement and create a plan tailored to their needs.

☀️ Summer is right around the corner, which means more time outdoors and more community ambulation! Safety and confidence while navigating different environments are so important. 🚶‍♀️💪

Miss Linda and Leone went on a little stroll with our PT Brittany Vass around the building this week! They worked on safely ascending/descending curbs, stairs, and navigating graded surfaces to improve balance, mobility, and independence. 👟🦵
