@thebalancedpt on Wrist Exercises! 👋 (Every yogi needs these 🥰) ・・・ ⁉️WRIST PAIN DURING CHATURANGA⁉️ . The most common movement impairment I see is dumping into the ulnar side (outside) of the wrist during Low Plank. 🤮 . This can place more pressure on the TFCC which is primarily made up of ligamentous tissue not made to withstand high load. ❌ . So a helpful cue here is to keep the elbows in and the weight distributed throughout the entire hand. ✅ . Pressing into the palm knuckles and gripping the mat with the fingertips. 👊🏼 . But if your wrists are already hurting...here are some gentle self mobilizations, stretches, and exercises to relieve the pressure and soreness. 💕 . Try it out below! 🤗 .

Mais um para a série @profmarcoantoniomedeiros @silviobarsanulfo @joaocrossfiter @umb3rtomanahau @ogrebcteam @ogrebarbellclub #Repost @docjenfit (@get_repost) ✨HANDSTAND ROTATOR CUFF STRENGTH✨ . Who loves handstands?! 🙋 This week has been all about ways to strengthen the rotator cuff for overhead activity. If you missed anything, check back! . Today, let's go over some ways to directly strengthen those shoulders for handstand prep! As much as I love the cue to squeeze the arms toward each other as you're in the handstand, this does activate the pecs a lot more. So, if we're doing that, let's make sure we have that rotator cuff activated properly prior to help protect those shoulders and avoid injury! . . 🎥VIDEOS🎥 🔹External Rotation Pull-Aparts: keep the lats activate by squeezing the elbows into the sides throughout the movement. Squeeze from the infraspinatus (muscle over the back of the shoulder blade) as you work to pull the band apart and keep the chest open and core tight. . 🔹Serratus Reaches: these are great to activate the push with the opening because in the handstand, the serratus anterior muscle must be active to press into the ground as the rotator cuff stabilizes around the shoulder. Reach up and out, sideways, and down and back to get all different fibers activated and moving! . 🔹External Rotation Reaches: the goal is to maintain wrist, elbow and shoulder alignment throughout the reach. Keep the elbows at 90 degrees until you extend overhead. . 🔹Handstand With The Band: try it out! Still remember to fully press through the shoulder blades and into the ground but keep the rotator cuff active as you externally rotate the arms and resist adduction of the arms. Raise your hand if you want to protect those shoulders with all the overhead activity you love! Inspired by a great convo with @thebalancedpt 😘 #docjenfit #move2improve

@thebalancedpt on Spinal Twist Help 🚨 ・・・ ‼️DIFFICULTY WITH TWISTS? TRY THESE T-SPINE MOBILITY DRILLS‼️ . I see it all the time in class. People trying to compensate with their hips and low back to increase rotation.❌ . Here’s the problem...the THORACIC SPINE is where we should be getting the most movement. ✅ . And instead of improving the rotation here...we end up just moving in the path of least resistance through the hips and low back. ‼️ . So in order to isolate the T-SPINE...we need to essentially “lock out” the hips/back first by placing them into FULL flexion (aka child’s pose). 👍🏼 . Then once we re-train the movement here we can re-integrate rotation from a tabletop position...moving into full thread the needle. 🦋 . Try it out and tag a friend to join you! 👫 .

Ugh them hips aren't aligned. It felt good, but then I turned the timer on and it didn't feel as good as it could've. I also just did yin yoga this morning because everything was so stiff. Need more core! But here's Warrior III for #ptmeetsyoga @thebalancedpt #yoga #yogapose #warrior3 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm1iJ63gxkV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15nlar1gbniox

Day 5 of the Foundation Series Challenge #PTmeetsYoga @thebalancedpt @medflowyoga Meditation! Used a 4-7-8 breath count, which actually got the best of me most the time because I'd inhale longer, hold longer, but always get the 8 second exhale. And because I put a timer on and started recording, the timer never went "ding" and I went a minute longer than I had intended to! . I used to do pranayama far more often than I do now and I don't know why I don't. I guess it's just priorities of time and where I give my time. But I do thoroughly enjoy having a breathing practice and this was a nice reminder of what I'm missing out on. #yoga #meditate #meditation
