Head supported exercises are a great way to incorporate cervical spine strengthening and anterior core activation due to the fact that you are not using your arms or knees to stabilize the body during these specific movements. Setting up for these particular exercises are important because we don’t want to place our c-spine in a […]

Below is an awesome series of videos posted by Kelley Starrett of MobilityWod.com. Kelley is a DPT and works with high level athletes in all sports. These videos are a bit lengthy but the content is outstanding. The focus is on knee position and how to create torque at the right place with a stable […]

Band Resistance Squats have an ascending strength curve, meaning you will apply more force as the bands are stretched. The exercise becomes more difficult as you accelerate the weight upwards. The most tension will be from about 130º of knee flexion to full knee and hip extension (where most sporting movements occur). A study published […]

Band Assisted and Resisted Side Lunge is just another way to incorporate “Accommodating Resistance” into an athlete’s training protocol AND groove good side lunge patterns! The use of resistance bands allow training to occur in different parts of the strength curve, based on the different resistances applied during the movement. This movement is also in […]

Every athlete will have a movement day at least one day per week. However, some athletes may need multiple movement days in order to really iron out any inefficient movement patterns or mobility issues they may have. The Pre-Screening Evaluations allow me to understand each athlete’s movement patterns, restrictions and potential limitations. Below is a […]
