GOfit Physical Therapy

The adductors are the anchor for our pelvis.

Too often we train them with the hip in a flexed position. That isn’t functional.

They need to be trained in a slightly flexed through fully extended position, which mimics their activation pattern in the stance phase of gait.

If you’re being slowed down by pain when exercising don’t wait for it to get worse.

DM us and we will help you get back on track.

Too many runners overextend their spine when running.

More than likely it’s because of two reasons:
1. Poor hip extension mobility
2. Inability to control a neutral spine through full hip extension.

These two factors co-exist together and reinforce each other

All the core work in the world won’t help if your brain never learns how to maintain a core contraction with a neutral spine as your hip extends to its full potential.

Start training your core with full hip extension and watch your running form and tolerance improve.

If you need some help running 🏃‍♂️ without pain, DM us so we can help.

Specificity is key 🔑

If your treatment is not specific you’re just throwing darts at a board.

Specificity is what sets up apart.

From our evaluation to our treatment if it’s not specific to fixing the cause of your pain we aren’t doing it.

To name a few!

As physical therapists, oftentimes we see people who have no clue they are improperly activating their core and THIS is the issue leading to their pain/dysfunction/issue!

This includes body women and men, old and young.

Don’t let this be you!

We created a checklist of all the DO’s and DO NOT’s for properly activating your core.

Once you get this down, it is applicable to almost any exercise.

THIS is the foundation from which to start!

The only way to make long lasting changes is to retrain the way you move.

Doing the right exercises routinely is how this happens.

The exercise above is a great way to retrain hamstring and glute activation with active hip extension and ground contact.

If you’re running with all quads and calves you need this exercise.
