Rows to Help Posture?

Rows to Help Posture?

Here is a weird trick I use to help my athletes with their posture.  Hip mobility, pelvic tilt, glute activation all play a role in maintaining a neutral posture.

A neutral posture ensures good movement and bad posture means that there is a potential for:

  • the pelvis is out of alignment
  • the hamstrings to be on tension
  • the abdominals to be on tension
  • the glutes to be shut down
  • knee pain to be present
  • lower back pain to be present
  • hip pain to be present

In this video I will show you workout efficiency, ie.  killing two birds with one stone.  When working with athletes you know that their time is important.  You have to get the most impact in the shortest amount of time.  With fitness enthusiasts, it is no different.  They have jobs, kids, stress, long commutes, etc.

Innovative Knee Rehab

Many, many years ago in a galaxy far away I was in high school.  While I was there, I was not only the most handsome, smart, cool young man, I was also on the wrestling team.

During my senior year, wrestling at a thick 125lbs and about 5’11″, I injured my knee.  How bad?  Who knows?  I grew up on a farm and never had been to the doctor.  And after the knee injury, I didn’t go either.  All I know is that it swelled up light a balloon and hurt like hell.  From that point on it started a downward spiral of compensations and avoidance that I am still paying for today.
