FIX YOUR POSTURE! Majority of people have rounded shoulders and forward neck from staring at phones and computers all day. These 2 exercises help fix your posture and help relieve pain in the upper back & neck. Hold for 5-10 seconds each for 5-10 reps. #chops @YSU_MAT #YSUMAT2020

[Kyle Hegedus @Sonic_Hegs]

If you are doing any hip extension/glute exercise, PLEASE do the following PRIOR to the movement:
1) Squeeze your core.
2) Squeeze your glutes.
These cues help prevent movement through the lumbar spine and lumbar hyperextension, which can cause injury @YSU_MAT #YSUMAT2020

[Kyle Hegedus @Sonic_Hegs]

Can’t do any pull-ups or any lat pulldowns? Here is a good vertical pull variation to do with either a band or a towel. At the top, pull the band/towel apart and pull to your chest. At the bottom, squeeze your lats and come all the way up. @YSU_MAT #YSUMAT2020

[Kyle Hegedus @Sonic_Hegs]

Low back pain/tightness? Try stretching out your glutes and hip flexors! Often these 2 areas are tight from sitting for extended periods of time and are often overlooked when dealing with low back pain. @YSU_MAT #YSUMAT2020

What is athletic training? Let Kyle @Sonic_Hegs tell you! @youngstownstate @BCHHS_YSU. @YSUKSS @ysugradcollege @penguinsportmed @OhioATA @GLATA_updates @NATA1950 @AssocATEdu

[Kyle Hegedus @Sonic_Hegs]

Follow these 2 unwritten rules of Athletic Training, and you can’t go wrong:
1) Never ignore pain
2) Never be the last person to see somebody

Special thanks to Todd Burkey for teaching the MAT program this

#DidYouKnow that Athletic Trainers work outside of the realm of athletics and are often employed by corporations like Amazon? #YSUMAT2020 @YSU_MAT

#DidYouKnow that the month of March is National Athletic Training Month? We are here to spread awareness of the profession and share knowledge in multiple areas of sports medicine #YSUMAT2020 @YSU_MAT

[Kyle Hegedus @Sonic_Hegs]

#DidYouKnow that Athletic Trainers can work multiple roles? An Athletic Trainer can also work as a Strength and Conditioning Coach, as long as they have professional certifications such as the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) #YSUMAT2020 @YSU_MAT
