Hey everyone! Ryan here. I have dreamed of having a farm for a long time. Most recently I have been interested in having Bison on this dream farm. I’m looking up information I thought this was crazy! I’m going to need a pretty big fence 😆 Hope y’all had a great week! See ya soon! #funfactfriday #dream #daydreamin #bison #farmliving #interestingfacts

Do you know what you are supposed to be working when you do a glute bridge? The answer is easy but most people feel it in the hamstrings and back. Unfortunately, most people do not perform the glute bridge the right way and actually activate the wrong muscles creating lower back pain or overactive hamstrings. For a full tutorial check out the video here to make sure you are building that butt you could bounce a quarter off. More importantly, spare your back for a healthier, pain free movement. https://youtu.be/ai2RJe_nh8Y #movebetter #mobilitymonday #tinygym #sacredroots #trainhardrecoverharder #reviverestorerecover #beactive #kcbest

Hey y’all! Ade here! In my practice, I’ve found a majority of people have a trigger point or sore spot beneath their pinky fingers. My hypothesis is that this spot is related to or caused by how we hold our phones and balance them on our pinkies. In reflexology, this spot is associated with the spleen on the left hand and the liver on the right hand. These organs are responsible for filtering our blood and removing toxins, along with many other duties. Have you been holding your phone on your pinky!? #funfactfriday #massagetherapy #reflexology #bestofkc #kclocal #seeyasoon

Did you realize you are probably walking around right now with at least one bulging disc in your spine? Most people are asymptomatic when it comes to a bulging disc. There are even those that have a herniated discs that are symptom free. If you are one of those unlucky ones that have symptoms, bulging and herniated discs can be a pain in the ass (figuratively and literally). However, the good news is, you rarely need surgery to fix the issue. Conservative treatments have been shown to be just as effective at eliminating the pain long term as surgery. The key is, lifestyle change and living a life built around a strong back. Surgery is only a temporary fix and rehab is necessary afterwards. Save the trouble and do the prehab and chances are very good you won't need surgery. It's a commitment to yourself and your future self. #LBP #lowbackpain #reviverestorerecover #thereishope #kcbest #massage #softtissuecare #trainhardrecoverharder #backpainhasacause Nakashima H, Yukawa Y, Suda K, Yamagata M, Ueta T, Kato F.

Tips & Tricks Thursday! Hey everyone, Ade here! Whether you're just rolling out of bed or squeezing an appointment in on your lunch break, if possible, bring (or wear) whatever clothes you feel most comfortable in. The idea is to prolong that relaxation state as long as possible, and slipping into some extra comfy after your session can help achieve that! Did you know we also provide sessions where you are fully clothed? Active Release Technique, Assisted Stretching, Cupping, Graston and Theragun can all be administered in "comfy clothes" Before every session we ask you to disrobe to your comfort level. We then make accommodations to our approach based on your comfortability. A majority of the techniques mentioned above are done in what we call "viewing clothes" or tank top/sports bra and athletic shorts or pants depending on what you'd like addressed. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. See ya soon! #thursday #tipsandtricks #massage #comfyclothes #theragun #graston #cupping #activereleasetechnique #bestofkc #kclocal

Do you have low back pain (LBP)? Chances are you do or have, and if you haven’t you are one of the lucky ones. 8 out of 10 workers in America have mentioned having back pain on the job. Over 577 million people globally experience back pain a year, with a large number of those (research is mixed on the actual percentage) having back pain for multiple years. The good news for back pain sufferers, “THERE IS HOPE! Back pain always has a cause.” Dr. Stuart Mcgill. The 1st step in the process is to identify the source of the pain. What category does the pain fall under? Once that has been identified a treatment plan can be implemented. If the source is mechanical, which some research suggests is 90% of all back pain cases, then the treatment can be done yourself under guided conditions. Many times, these treatment plans do not have to be life altering changes to complete. The number one thing you will have to do is modify your activities while your back heals. If you break your arm, you get put in a cast and you are forced to change while in the cast. Once the bone heals, you can return to normal activity. The same goes for most mechanical back pain. Let it heal, then slowly add in the activities you enjoy with modifications if needed. #LBP #lowbackpain #reviverestorerecover #thereishope #kcbest #massage #softtissuecare #trainhardrecoverharder #backpainhasacause

Have pain on the front outside of your knee? Or maybe on the side of your hip? Are you a runner or an athlete that moves laterally on continuous basis? There is a chance you may have Iliotibial Band Syndrome. The condition affects over 200,000 people a year. These are only those actually diagnosed, but from experience, this is much more frequent in athletic and running populations. The largest population of the individuals that are affected are distance runners. The good thing is, with a little self-care, recovery methods, and strengthening, the condition can be monitored and go away without invasive approaches. #ITband #reviverestorerecover #distancerunning #kneepain #kcbest #massage #softtissuecare #trainhardrecoverharder

Graston Technique is a phenomenal approach that allows us to affect soft tissue differently by using instruments to reorganize tissue fibers. It’s also a great plan of action after surgery or an injury involving heavy scarring. Adding this into your treatments and wellness plans will help maximize the benefits!! Have questions about Graston or other instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation?? Call us, text us, knock on our door, email us we’ll be more than happy to talk your ear off about it! ☎️ 816.307.9702 🖥 srhealing.com #graston #grastontechnique #iastm #scartissue #fascia #massagetherapy #bestofkc #injuryprevention #injuryrecovery #kclocal #sportsmedicine #trainhardrecoverharder #thevictorylapisalonelyone

Are you mobile in key areas of your life? The key to success in any area of your life is the ability to be mobile or adaptable. This cannot be overstated especially when it comes to your physical fitness and health. If bench press hurts the shoulder, quit bench pressing. If squatting hurts the low back, quit squatting. If you can't maintain that super strict diet longer than 2-3 weeks, find a different style of healthy eating you can stick to. Monday's workout kick your ass? Fatigue and stress have you down by Wednesday? Adapt, pivot, and change. Friday's workout so that you recover and feel refreshed ready to take on the weekend. Life is the ultimate marathon, not a 100m sprint. When you are consistent in your diet, mental health practices, and exercise you can change your routine, your daily workout, even crush that pizza and you will still see gains long term. BE ADAPTABLE! #beadaptable #movebetter #mobilitymonday #tinygym #sacredroots #trainhardrecoverharder #reviverestorerecover #beactive #kcbest

Did you know your ankle mobility, or the lack thereof, can cause hip pain, back pain, and even shoulder and neck pain? Limited dorsal flexion of the ankles has a direct cause and effect relationship with the other joints further up the chain. When the ankles cannot move (with stability) the knees and hips/pelvis/lumbar spine will try to find the mobility needed to compensate when moving, especially squatting and lunging. When this happens, it puts more load on the joints that shouldn't be moving creating a scenario for inflammation and injury. The half-kneeling ankle mobility drill is a very easy exercise to improve your ankle dorsiflexion. Keys to success: 1. Keep heel down 2. Take knee over the outside toe, the middle toe, and inside toe five times each. 3. Perform before doing any running, squatting, or lower body workouts. #movebetter #mobilitymonday #tinygym #sacredroots #trainhardrecoverharder #reviverestorerecover #beactive #kcbest

Tips and Tricks Thursday! We get it, you just had a massage, that WAS your rest, right? It'd be a luxury to get to go straight home to take a nap! While we understand that's not realistic for most folks, we still encourage you to take some time to REST after your massage. Rest doesn't have to be a two-hour nap. Rest can be going for a light walk, an infrared sauna session, reading a book or journaling, watching a movie, a short meditation, or anything that helps you feel recharged! We want you to get the maximum benefit from your session, and prolonging that relaxed state of mind is key. What's your favorite way to fit in some extra rest? #tipsandtricks #massagetherapy #rest #thursday #postmassagecare #livinthedream #bestofkc #kclocal #tinygym #preventativehealth #healthyliving

Do you add mobility into your basic exercises? You should! We move in multiple planes all day, but when we train, we sometimes forget that and only workout in single plane movements. For true function, when possible add variety to your basic exercises by adding a mobility component moving in multiple planes. One of my favorites that will target the lats and core is the Half Kneeling High Single Arm Row With Rotation. During this exercise you will be moving not only in the sagital plane but also the transverse plane. Keys to execution: Set up band or cable above the head Keep back in neutral position Stop the pull arm before diving into anterior translation of the humeral head (if your arm gets past your rib cage and the shoulder comes up and forward, you have gone to far. Stabilize the core at the end of the concentric movement. Control the eccentric phase (going back to the starting position) #mobilitymonday #tinygym #sacredroots #trainhardrecoverharder #reviverestorerecover #beactive #kcbest

What’s your hidden talent!?!? Check out this kick ass picture that Rob made. Super rad! Tell us your hidden talent and your favorite Bruce Lee quote! SEE YA SOON!! #art #brucelee #hiddentalent #charcoal #funfactfriday #rad #ourstaffiscoolerthanyours

Limited Range of motion in the shoulders? Tension in the upper back due to a rounded thoracic spine? When the thoracic spine cannot move into extension (leaning back) the shoulders will have a hard time moving because the shoulder blades get stuck to the rib cage. Not only can this affect shoulder range of motion, but can also decrease the ability to inhale properly leading to a cascade of issues. A go to exercise to help with increasing thoracic extension and stretching the lats is the Lat Stick Mobility exercise. Keys to success: Keep head in a neutral position throughout the movement. Inhale deeply then exhale slowly as you start to move your butt to your heels. Slight rounding of the low back/flexion is ok during this exercise. If flexion-based pain exists at the low back, brace core and keep spine in neutral position. If you have issues with external rotation at the shoulders relax move the hands in on the stick, or don't use one at all. Don't force ROM. You can see in the video I don't have crazy mobility in the shoulders and I am not forcing more flexion. These are great as warm-up exercise, accessory, or to do anytime during the day after sitting for long periods at desk. #shouldermobility #neckmobility #shoulderfix #roundedshoulders #forwardheadposture #kyphoticspine #mobilitymonday #reviverestorerecover #sacredroots #thoracicextension #tinygym

When people hear the word massage, or the phrase massage therapy, the immediate picture that comes to mind is a woman laying on a table in a state of bliss as someone rubs lotion all over her body. The picture is not wrong, but the mindset is. Massage therapy comes in many forms. The term massage therapy is a catch all term. Over 350 modalities exist that are covered by liability insurance, making them legitimate forms of massage. If we take into consideration of one of the definitions of massage "to manipulate to give more of a favorable result" it becomes easy to understand how there can be so many ways to change the body's state. For a list (not complete) of these modalities visit the URL below. https://www.massagemag.com/resource-centers/massage-modalities/ #massagemodalities #bestofkc #kclocal #preventativehealth #sacredroots #reviverestorerecover #funfactfriday

Rob was recently in New Jersey over the weekend completing an Active Release Techniques® Nerve Entrapment Certification course he began studying for 4 months ago. He passed the exam with extraordinary results and has retained his full body certification in the process. If you are not familiar with Active Release Techniques® it is one of the most effective forms of soft tissue care in the world. Using a very precise method of determining the root cause of an issue he will be able to alleviate many muscle and nerve pain issues in only a few treatments. To find out more about how Rob will be able to help you go to the Active Release Techniques® website. https://activerelease.com/patients/#faqs #activereleasetechniques #softtissuetherapies #sacredroots #painrelief #softtissuecare #whynotyou #massagetherapy #preventativehealth #trainhardrecoverharder #bestofkc #kclocal #healthylifestyle

It's Ade here with Tips & Tricks Thursdays! One of the simplest ways to get the most out of your massage session is to just communicate! *Give us accurate (and as detailed as possible) health information on your intake form and update us on any changes at returning visits. *Let us know your expectations for each session such as; would you like a full body or more focus work, relaxation or are you wanting to work towards a specific goal? *What are your preferences? Do you like the table warmer on, or the music a certain way, would you like to chat during your session or get in the zone? *Don't be afraid to discuss any apprehensions or concerns! *During the massage, give us feedback on things like pressure, pace, discomfort, or distractions. *If you're curious during your session, just ask! We love to explain why and what we're doing to help you gain more awareness in your body, and because it makes us feel smart ;) We try our best to create an open and relaxed environment where communication is always welcomed and appreciated, and we're dedicated to helping you get the best experience possible!!

Active Release Techniques® is one of the most effective forms of soft tissue therapies across the globe. What makes ART® so effective is the practitioners ability to get to the root cause of the pain or issue the client is experiencing. Using specialized palpation and treatment protocols musculoskeletal and nerve issues can be treated in a matter of minutes with no drawn out treatment plans. This saves the client time and money while returning them to an active life style. To find out what conditions ART® is good for and how ART® can benefit you, visit the website below. https://activerelease.com/patients/#faqs

Fun Fact Friday! Hey everyone - its Ade here! Part of the reason I love massage therapy so much is the vast diversity and endless opportunities it provides to learn, grow, and change it up! Between the three of us, we already offer a good handful of modalities here at Sacred Roots, such as neuromuscular, cupping, Gratson, active release, prenatal, etc., and we are always searching for more modalities to become certified in! What different modalities have you experienced? Comment your favorite below! #funfactfriday #massagetherapy #modalities

Ade here with Tips & Tricks Thursday! If you've had a session with me, you've probably heard me say "take your time getting up" when our session is complete. Yes, it's become a habit, but I say it for a reason! Well, a couple reasons, actually: *The biggest reason is that massage, especially deep-tissue, increases blood-flow, lowers blood pressure, and lowers your body's temperature. Getting up too fast can jolt your system (your blood pressure needs to increase in order to have the energy to stand and move around) which can cause light-headedness and dizziness!! *Your body also might be feeling "looser" than usual after a massage, and going slowly ensures time for you to adjust to that feeling. *Also, I adjust the height of the table often! So if you try to stand up too quickly, the floor might not be where you expect it to be, as silly as that sounds ;) Pretend you are sending a friend in for a session...What tips are you giving them?? #thursdsay #tipsandtricks #massagetherapy #bestofkc #kclocal #healthyliving #whynotyou

Hey everyone, Rob here! Do you have pain at the top side of your arm when lifting out to the side? Does it get worse after 90 degrees? Better when your arm is directly over head? Shoulder impingement can be a leading cause of pain at the top outside of edge of the shoulder. It is usually caused by a problem with scapula humorous translation which leads to compression of the underlying structures, inflammation. Short term the problem may be minor, but left untreated, can cause long term issues including loss of range of motion and possible frozen shoulder. There are many reasons the scapula and humeral head may not be moving properly. The good news is that most of the time, an assessment and testing can confirm this or dismiss the possibility of impingement. The better news is that in most cases, soft tissue therapies and corrective exercises can correct the problem. #shoulderimpingement #shoulderpain #shouldermobility #activereleasetechniques #correctiveexercises #assessment #sacredroots #massagetherapy

Limited Range of motion in the shoulders? Head stuck in forward posture? Shoulder mobility can be greatly affected by the rounding of the shoulders and the next being stuck in a forward position, so we can't really talk about shoulder mobility without addressing the neck and upper back positioning. One great exercise to address both rounding of the shoulders and forward head posture is Neck Retraction/Protraction against a wall. Better name for the exercise could be #theturtleneck It will also help lengthen and turn off the cervical extensors/flexors that can become chronically tight and painful when stuck in forward head posture. The Set Up: ➡️Place feet a couple feet away from the wall in a shoulder width stance ➡️Back Flat against the wall ➡️Retract and depress the shoulders with back of arms touching the wall. ➡️Brace the core ➡️Push and pull the nose straight back and forth as much as possible. ➡️Think about forming a double chin when trying to touch the wall. ➡️Back flat against the wall as the head moves. ➡️The chin should not tilt down or tilt up. Keys to execution: 🟢Back stays flat against the wall. 🟢The nose points forward the whole time, not up and down. 🟢The rib cage and shoulders don't elevate during retraction of the head. 🟢Back of head can touch the wall without looking up. #shouldermobility #neckmobility #shoulderfix #Roundedshoulders #forwardheadposture #kyphoticspine #mobilitymonday #sacredroots

How does your shoulder feel? Have you checked your posture lately? Do you have full range of motion without pain or compensation? Corrective exercises, massage therapy, and changing daily habits can lead to dramatic changes not only in overall health, but specifically to the health of your shoulder. If you have been diagnosed with tendonitis, rotator cuff tears, or any other non-disease related issue, there is help for you and most of time it does not require surgery. Make sure to follow us this month as we go deeper into bulletproofing your shoulders. #bulletproofshoulders #shouldermobility #rotatorcuff #sacredroots #gettoknow #roundedshoulders #posture #bestofkc #kclocal #tinygym #whynotyou #preventativehealth #correctiveexercise

**MEAL PREP MONDAY** Man I was completely out of rhythm. Forgot my plan and realized that I wanted to try something new about 20 minutes in. Cut the shit out of my finger and have a ton to take to the office by adding previous said new plan thus adding much more work for myself….. BUT….I DID IT! Change is difficult but you can do it. Stick with it, work your ass off, fail and then keep making the choices necessary to create new habits.

Want pain free, mobile, bulletproof shoulders? The Shoulder Tri-Set may not fix your shoulder issues, but it will help prevent issues from arising. Add it into any upper body warm-up and see how much better your lifts feel. Set-up: 1. Up and overs: Feet shoulder width apart. Strong base. Core tight (no rib cage flare). Keep slight tension in the band through the entire movement. Elbows should stay straight at all times. 2. Band pull apart: Same set up as up and overs. Make sure to move shoulder blades back toward one another as you pull apart the band. Keep spine neutral. Note: If you have elevated shoulders, bring hands above head to start and pull apart down toward the chest. 3. Band Face Pull: Same set up as 1 and 2. As you pull band toward your nose, keep spine neutral and pull hands apart. Perform 2 sets of 10 reps back-to-back with a slight breather between sets. #bulletproofshoulders #shouldermobility #shoulderhealth #sacredroots #tinygym #mobilitymonday

Have you tried cold therapies or ice baths for recovery or reducing inflammation? Ice baths and using cold therapies for athletes' recovery have been around for decades, but the Iceman takes it to a whole new level. Through special meditation techniques and years of practice he has been able to change his biology to handle extreme temperatures. He believes and teaches anyone can achieve the benefits of extreme cold therapy. Cold therapies have been shown to decrease inflammation, increase metabolism, increase mood and mental clarity, and improve sleep. If you don't want to take a polar plunge or hike naked in 20 degree weather, you don't have to in order to experience some of these benefits. Start by taking a cold shower every day.

**TIPS AND TRICKS THURSDAY WITH ADE** This might seem silly, but it can be easy to forget to breathe regularly during a massage. We often restrict or stop our breathing with feelings of anxiety or when sensitive areas are being massaged. Breathing helps facilitate relaxation. When your therapist finds an area of tension, taking a large, deep breath can help actively release that muscle. Try to imagine, as you breathe in, sending that oxygen directly to the area of pain, then release and purge all of that discomfort out of your body as you exhale. Your therapist might keep the focus or pressure on an area for a few rounds of breath in order to get that full release. If you need guidance or reminders, we will always help cue you to take deep breaths when needed, too! #thursday #tipsandtricks #breathe #exhale #massagetherapy #bestofkc #kclocal #whynotyou #healthyliving #preventativehealth

**TIPS AND TRICKS THURSDAY** Hey everyone, Ade here. After an hour (or more) of massage, you might come out feeling a bit peckish! Afterall, massage is a form of muscle exertion, and like exercise, it can boost your metabolism and start to deplete protein and nutrient stores. It's recommended to eat something light an hour or two before your session - you don't want to come in starving, but you also don't want to be too full! Post-massage, it's ideal to replenish with foods high in nutrients and minerals (think fruits, veggies, sweet potatoes) alongside a bit of protein. Try to avoid heavy, processed, or sugary foods that will make you feel more sluggish.

**MOBILITY MONDAY** Anterior Hip Tightness? Pinching during hip flexion with squatting, lunging, running? Try this simple mobility flow with band traction/mobilization. Execution and Setup: Heavy Band Band attached at 15-20 degrees offset to the outside of hip. Get the band up into the groin as high as possible. Move slow and through a full range motion. Perform 8-12 reps per exercise and hold last rep for a 10 count. Only needs to be done on side with issues. #hipmobility #frogpose #mobilitymonday #hipimpingement #sacredroots #anteriorhip #resistancebands #painfreemovement #bestofkc #kclocal

**FUN FACT FRIDAY** If you are having tenderness at the front of the hip and at the inside of the knee, there is a good chance you are experiencing an issue with the Sartorius. The Sartorius or the figure 4 muscle is the longest muscle in the body crossing the hip joint and knee joint. It shares its attachment at the hip with the only other muscle to cross both of those joints, the rectus femoris (1 of 4 quad muscles). We call it the figure 4 muscle, because if you raise your foot and bend your knee like you are putting on a sock, it is the sartorius that contracts and helps create this motion. Runners, lateral sprinters such as football players, and hockey players usually have very strong sartorius muscles and are prone to injury. Issues where the muscle is tight or weak can lead to strains if left untreated. Tightness can be relieved by trained soft tissue therapists and usually can have immediate performance benefits. #FunFactFriday #sacredroots #sartorius #bestofkc #kclocal

**TIPS AND TRICKS THURSDAY!** Hey everyone, Ade here. You've probably heard us tell you to DRINK WATER after your massage.

**MOBILITY MONDAY** Today in the Mobility Monday we have a Self Psoas Release Technique. The psoas can be really tricky and create all kinds of issues at the anterior hip and low back. If you stand a lot or sit a lot at your job, this muscle can become extremely tight. This is excellent for runners, skaters, and pitchers. For set up, swipe to the next page. Note: It's going to be uncomfortable. Don't say I didn't warn you. #psoasrelease #lowbackpain #tighthips #sacredroots #runners #skaters #pitching #anteriorhip #hipextension #mobilitymonday

Do you have Low Back Pain? Pain in the center of your Hamstrings or maybe it can be traced all the way from the low back to the calf? Numbness, tingling? Do you actually have Sciatica or maybe even Piriformis Syndrome. Based on scientific research, odds are you don't have either. One of the most catch all diagnosis I hear is, "I was told I have Sciatica?" It's like telling someone with shoulder pain they have bicep tendonitis. It is a scapegoat diagnosis. Find the real reason of your pain and discomfort if you want true long-term relief. Feel free to reach out with any questions! If we can't help you we will refer you to someone who can.

**TIPS AND TRICKS THURSDAY** Hey everyone, Ade here! We all know its important to stretch before and after exercising, but did you know the same principles apply to stretching after massage? A few simple stretches post-massage can help: *Cool-Down Massage is a form of muscle exertion and stretching after a session can help prevent the muscles from seizing up, and help guard against stiffness and soreness later. *Preserve the Benefits Stretching aids in retaining the relaxation, flexibility, and mobility achieved during your massage session. *Promote Mind-Body Awareness During your massage, your therapist might find areas you never imagined would be sore or tender. Stretching afterwards gives you an opportunity to explore the sensations in those areas Next time you're in be sure to ask about how we can help with stretching and self myofascial release techniques and regimens. If we cant help you we have many resources and practitioners we can refer to get the results you need! #tipsandtricks #stretch #postmassagecare #bestofkc #kclocal #massagetherapy #smrtechniques #thursdays

**MOBILITY MONDAY** Tight backside? Booty not moving too well? Continuing with our hip theme in December, the Quadruped Hip Rock Backs might give you some relief. Check out page two on the set up! Make sure to watch the whole video to see how you can add a lat stretch to the rock back to target the entire side of your body from hip to shoulder. The key to executing and getting the most benefit is the angle you go back. Don't just sit on your heels, you won't feel anything. It is going to be somewhere between a 30-60 degree angle. If you have any favorite hip exercises that frees you up, let us know, we would love to share them! #mobilitymonday #injuryprevention #hipmobility #warmup #timygym #infraredsauna #whynotyou #preventativehealth #bestofkc #kclocal #foamrollers #trainhardrecoverharder #mobility #selfmyofascialrelease #letsgo

**TIPS AND TRICKS THURSDAY** The hip flexors can get really tight and can be a source of a lot of problematic issues if not addressed on a regular routine. Using a roller every day on the hip flexors is great for warm-ups before workouts or simply loosening them up from sitting or standing all day. Use short fast movements prior to working out and use long slow full passes from hip to knee after workouts or sitting/standing for long periods of time. #foamrolling #tipsandtricks #hipflexors #tinygym #bestofkc #kclocal #preventativehealth #trainhardrecoverharder #massagetherapy #whynotyou #lowbackpain #thursday #happydecember

The hip flexors can become a very problematic area and can cause a range of issues when shortened tight: anterior pelvic tilt, impingement symptoms, and even patellar knee pain. The Half-Kneeling Rear Foot Elevated Hip Flexor Mobility exercise is excellent at activating the glutes and lengthening the hip flexors. The set up: Always use a pad under your knee! 1. Start by placing your left foot on an elevated surface (depending on how tight the hip flexors/quads are you may have to use a med ball or roller or simply start with the foot on the floor. 2. Maintain a straight line from shoulder to hip to knee. STAY TALL! 3. Squeeze the left glutes and take the hip up toward the belly button. The pelvis should feel like it is swiveling upward. 4. Hold for a 1 count and relax. 5. Repeat for 15-20 reps and hold the last rep for 10 seconds. 6. Repeat on the other leg. Perform this exercise as a warm-up exercise or as a corrective filler exercise between any squatting exercises. #mobilitymonday #injuryprevention #hipmobility #warmup #timygym #infraredsauna #whynotyou #preventativehealth #bestofkc #kclocal #foamrollers #trainhardrecoverharder #mobility #selfmyofascialrelease #letsgo

**MOBILITY MONDAY-VOLUME 1** Shoveling is a full body workout and as such we need to warm-up before shoveling to prevent the risk of injury. The warm-up in this video takes under 10 minutes and will have you sweating before you ever step outside. Foam Rolling: Roll each area for approximately 30 seconds working in short fast movements especially near the joints. Pay close to attention to these areas: glutes, hip flexors/quads, mid to upper back, chest and shoulders. Perform 8-10 reps of the following exercises without stopping between exercises: Reverse Lunge to High Knee: I prefer the reverse lunge due to the decreased stress on the knee joint. Make sure the stationary knee stays pointed toward the outside two toes in the lunge position. If you have problem with balance, regress to a stationary split squat. Squat to stand: Try to keep the heels down and the feet from rotating out. Yes in the video you will see my right heel come up, give me a break, I had to ankle surgeries. Don’t worry about your back rounding at the bottom position as this is only a stretch without load. Try to straighten your legs as much as possible. Hip Bridge with Reach: Great for glute activation and thoracic mobility. Squeeze the glutes hard before you rotate and reach at a 60 degree angle with the arm. If you have to, slow down and make two separate movements. Make sure the glutes stay squeezed as you reach. Shoulder 3 Way: These will light up your shoulders ready to handle that heavy white crap. Perform 10 per movement. Keep core braced throughout each exercise. On the over and backs make sure you keep tension in the band through the range of motion. During the Band Separators don’t arch by bringing your rib cage to your belly button in a brace. In the video I am externally rotating to finish the movement; if you have problems with external rotation, take the back of the hands to the ears as you pull. #mobilitymonday #snowshoveling #tistheseason #injuryprevention #warmup #timygym #infraredsauna #whynotyou #preventativehealth #bestofkc #kclocal #foamrollers #trainhardrecoverharder #mobility #selfmyofascialrelease #letsgo #winteriscoming

Warm-up properly: (Click here for full warm-up video https://youtu.be/FElXyNhzAtc) a. foam roll b. High Knee hugs, slow squats, hip bridges, lunges, etc. c. Walk on a treadmill or bike for about 10 minutes at a brisk pace 3. Wear the appropriate layers of clothes to stay warm, but be able to move. 4. Use a bent shaft shovel 5. Its called a "Shove"l for a reason. Don't scoop…shove the snow when possible 6. Work in small increments 7. DO NOT TWIST TO THROW SNOW! a. Brace your core b. Bend at the knees 8.

*FUN FACT FRIDAY* A majority of us sit far too much due to modern conveniences, technology and societal influences. Cars, couches, desks, make it easy for us to sit with poor posture that contributes muscles and tissue to be “locked short” anteriorly and weakened posteriorly.
