2) This is an isometric adductor squeeze which helps activate your pelvic floor muscles. Squeeze the object as hard as you can for 5 seconds, relax and repeat.
#Pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the bottom of your pelvis which stabilise your #pelvis, #abdominalmuscles, #backmuscles and #diaphragm. These rely on each other to create stability in your #spine and pelvis and dysfunction in one part may negatively impact the other
1) This is a #diaphragmaticbreathing exercise. When doing this, you are practising the coordination of your pelvic floor and diaphragm making sure that they are able to work together and encouraging relaxation of the nervous system.
3. Exaggerate the step outwards/abduction (separation) of your whole leg outwards. Always keep the tension of the band and be aware of the movements of your knee.
2. Step with movement of the same shoulder --> this movement forces you to work on the frontal plane. Be careful on the position of your knee and foot!
1. Step with movement of the opposite shoulder--> it is a more natural movement, so it can feel a bit easier. Focus on keeping your knees in a line and the step should draw a straight line (not go inwards because of the tension of the band)
The monster walk works your #glutes in a different way, with more emphasis on the frontal plane and in a movement that is more familiar: walking 👌🏼.
It is very beneficial for #runners and any lower extremity #rehabilitation process.
These videos show 3 variations 👇
Rotational movements of the #shoulder can be one of the hardest to achieve and most of the time are the first ones to be restricted and the last ones to #recover in a shoulder #injury.
This video demonstrates an easy way to work on both internal and external rotation.
