Back pain is a common complaint expressed by a variety of patients our Kinesiologists treat at COAST. Whether you are recovering from surgery, injured from a car accident, or have back issues related to a lifetime of desk work, performing these three exercises in an active rehab program can help relieve pain by strengthening your back and core.
Many athletes spend their time strength training or honing their technical skills related to their sport. All too often, the importance of mobility when it comes to performance is overlooked. Proper mobility can help improve performance and reduce the risk of injury.
Here are 5 mobility exercises to help you perform at your peak:
The glutes are one of the largest and most important muscle groups in the entire body. They are the primary stabilizers and activists of the hip joint, and the powerhouse muscle of the lower body. Having strong glutes isn’t just for looks. They play a crucial role in one’s posture, performance, injury prevention and everyday functioning.
Athletic Therapists specialize in injury assessment, rehabilitation and full return to activity. They combine manual therapy with other treatment techniques such as exercise and movement-based rehab and traditional therapies such as ultrasound and muscle stimulation.
Runners are known for being notoriously tight and lacking flexibility and a lot of injuries in running are actually caused by a muscle(s) not functioning as it should. Chiropractic adjustments can help increase joint mobility, increase muscle function and allow you to restore proper alignment to increase overall function.
