SHOULDER STABILITY!
.
This exercise is called D2 flexion and is performed with a straight elbow with a rotation component through the motion. We like this exercise because it involves great rotator cuff activation AND is done overhead.

This week we dry needled @skpkat from @northatlanticballet! This patient has been getting dry needled for years and responds incredibly well. Here we needled the length of her hamstrings to promote mobility and pain relief.

REVERSE SIDEBOARD LUNGES!!

Another classic lower extremity stability exercise coming at you today! Lunges are great because they challenge muscles at the hip, knee, and ankle so we can use them with a variety of patients.

2 Up, 1 Down! The goal of this exercise is to load the Achilles tendon eccentrically, meaning it contracts as the muscle lengthens. We use this exercise a lot for Achilles tendonitis rehab and as a precursor to single leg calf raises. #offseasonpt#osspt#achilles#rehab
Here is a kinesiotaping technique we use for certain patients with knee pain! With this technique, a medial glide is provided with a sling on the outside of the kneecap to keep it from sliding too far laterally when moving. #offseasonpt#osspt#taping#kneepain#KTtape
SINGLE LEG STABILITY!!
.
The single deadlift is a favorite go-to exercise because it incorporates hip, knee, and ankle stability all through one coordinated movement. It can be performed with body weight, dumbbells, or cables!

Dry needling for low back stiffness and pain! This patient responded very well to just one session of dry needling. He came in unable to bend or twist and the next day reported feeling much more mobile with a significant pain decrease! #offseasonpt#osspt#dryneedling#painrelief
