Forward Bend Frog the Mandukasana

Mandukasana, or Forward Bend Frog, is an intense hip-opening yoga posture that is both energizing and calming. It helps to stretch the legs, hips, spine, chest, upper back, and shoulders. This posture aids in improving digestion, releasing tension and improving circulation, creating a balance between strength and flexibility. #Abdominal #Backbends #Core #ForwardBend #Frog #HipFlexors #Hips #Mandukasana #Spinal #Yogic Read the full article

Hip Flexor Stretch: Warrior 1

Virabhadrasana with knee bent

Stretch deeply the front thigh to open the hip flexor. Keep the chest lifted up as if your head is filled with helium. Lift the heart area up towards the ceiling and expand the thoracic spine with a deep breath. If the back knee is uncomfortable, put a towel or extra mat under the knee cap

Warrior 1 stretches and strengthens the:

🔰back, arms, shoulders, thighs, ankle, calves, thorax, neck, inguinal region--groin, lungs, lower abdomen 🔰enhances balance

❗Cautions: Those who have had knee surgery or have weak knees may need to avoid this pose until they gain strength. Those who tire easily or have any heart issues may need to build up to this pose as it requires greater stamina.

Here's the truth: Most people don’t realize the cause of their problems is tight hip flexors. https://rebrand.ly/HipsFlexors

What do the hip flexors have to do with the knee extensors ?

"It is not about your test, it is what your client displays in your test that matters. They will try to find a way. The load has to go somewhere, and they will find a place to put it, they always do. Finding out how your client cheats, compensates, recruits and fails is the value of the assessment."

This is just a small example of how I approach a client through small assessment window.

As best as I am able, knowing the absolute limitations of a supine examinations translation to vertical loading, I will approach a client's ability to stabilize in all 3 planes of movement. Today, i will micro-dissect a thought process.

The straight leg resistance test (SLR):

just a few incomplete thoughts on a SAGITTAL perspective (so as to avoid writing a book).

I will do it looking at **pelvis posture (anterior, posterior, oblique), lumbar spine posture (incr/decr lordosis), if they can keep their knee locked in a position, does the pelvis rotate, do they want to deviate into internal or external rotation at the hip, do they plantar or dorsiflex their ankle or toes. Lots to see here in how a client will recruit, and this is just a small snapshot of things they might do. Yes, head position, arm position were left out , again, to avoid a longer post today.

I will add consistent (as best as possible) resistance in the SLR test , with full locked knee, at hip 30, 45 and then full straight leg SLR (at the client's hamstring tension limit), then again at 45 degree knee lock with partial hip flexion, 90 degree hip and knee. I am changing loading vectors frequently to see if their is a directional loading failure. I am looking for their ability to provide ample resistance, and how they might cheat (see above).

But here is how my mind works through the test on the most basic level, which will give me insight on the above cheats** the client may employ.

* In the MOST SIMPLEST thought of the assessment, can they EFFECTIVELY stabilize the pelvis to the lumbar spine, can they stabilize the femur into the pelvis, can they stabilize the tibia onto the femur? It is how they choose to engage the system that matters, and that might be partly why their "Screen" shows up shoddy and may be a window into their pain.

The question is, if they fail, where are they failing and what tissues are overburdened or over protecting ? Where is the load, and where NOT is the load, going ?

"It is not about your test, it is what your client displays in your test that matters. They will try to find a way. The load has to go somewhere, and they will find a place to put it, they always do. Finding out how your client cheats, compensates, recruits and fails is the value of the assessment. This is how you need to be thinking when you perform many of the mostly useless orthopedic tests in the textbooks.

This is key,

a SLR screen will not show you any of this, it will just show you their range of motion, nothing more, not how they did it, what parts worked harder than other parts, and which parts are weak, injured or inhibited, for example. It is not what a client does, it is how they go about it that has the most value to you in helping them.

Today's article below is what spurred my rant today. It gives light that most already know, that everything is connected. And perhaps we can translate it into deeper thoughts for our clients, namely, what part is not doing its job, and where are they not connecting the parts, and where are they putting the loads ?

From the Ema study:

"Our findings indicate that hip flexion training results in substantial neuromuscular adaptations during knee extensions similar to those induced by knee extension training."-Ema et al.

We need a stable and strong core-spine-pelvis connection to display powerful knee extension, and, we need a stable and strong femur-pelvis connection as well. So, where is your client doing more or less of the work, and is it related to their hip, low back or knee pain? Or are they tossing it into the ankle perhaps? This is the beauty of the game we all play every day, if we are actually paying attention.

Now, remember my discussion last week about "adding strength to dysfunction" ? Where is your client going to put the load?, the answer, where they can/able. And that doesn't exactly mean where they should be putting it. Mindless prescription of corrective exercises is a real problem in my opinion.

I call this a Single-Leg Elevated Cobra Stretch. It’s like a cross between a regular cobra stretch and a runner’s lunge stretch. — This gets a goooood stretch in the Psoas/hip flexors that I’m unable@to feel in a normal cobra. Keep your chest up for a deeper stretch. — I hold for at least :30 but usually go for closer to 1:30. Be slow getting out of the stretch. This is better done on something less squishy than an ottoman but I work with what I got. . . #bostonfitness #cosplayfitness #psoas #hipflexors #homefitness #homeyoga #selfcare #bodybuidling #mensphysique #stretching #fitnerd #superherotraining #mobility #flexibility (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7GwHtqju9i/?igshid=1kkoz7oos0in2

🤔What is she doing now??🤷‍♀️ ▫️ 👀 Got any hip flexors mate?! I do not after this little finisher!!🤣 ▫️ 🤸‍♀️ Im no gymnast and this is VERY gymnastic-y, but with great cross-over benefits for anything requiring lower abdominal strength and hip-snap. So leg lifts, hollow body, toes-to-bar, Olympic lifting handstand control, skin the cat, back lever....etc.. If you're looking for those action man hips (definition in your lower abs/obliques, or inguinal crease if we're being fancy🤷‍♀️) this will switch all the right things on! 🙌💪 ▫️ 💪 The further away the hands are from the body, the harder the movement.....I know, I'm working on it!! The hardest part for me is concentrating on only using the correct muscles (mind/muscle connection) and not recruiting my back or upper abdomen to do the work (or my traps!!🙄🤣) causing a pike motion each rep, drawing my head down and using my bodyweight.🤦‍♀️ ▫️ Give it a go and tag me in your videos👀 🙏Thanks @rhymen for the inspiration 🙌 ▫️ #gymnasticsdrills #calisthenics #stalderleglifts #legseleven #leglifts #stalder #straddle #hipflexors #hipflexorstrength #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #mindsetrxd #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #stayathome #covid19 #lockdown #lockdowntraining #Lsit #yogablocks #iamnotagymnast (at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_602gVHB1q/?igshid=smjaho3bdc0z

Feel Good Friday’s. #feelPSOrite 💓⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I’m sure you may have seen this neat little gadget floating around your local gym or on social media! The @pso_rite is one of the most versatile self-massaging tools on the market! 🤯🙌⠀ ⠀ ⠀ In this video I’m using the Pso-rite to release my QL, quadratus lumborum, to help relieve back tension. One of the most important things to do while you’re using this tool is to slowly relax into the positions and focus on your breathing. 🌬 When you tense up and hold your breath your muscles cannot relax. 🥴⠀ ⠀ I like to practice box breathing, visualize your chest and abdominal cavity as one large box 📦and breathing into each of the corners, pausing, and then exhaling from each of the corners. Another tip is to first look in each direction just by moving your eyes, and then by gently moving your neck. This helps reset your neurological system and solidifies the neuromuscular connections, helping to take your body out of “fight or flight” mode. You might notice that I’m also wiggling my fingers or toes 👋 while using the pso-rite. I do this to make sure that I’m not holding any tension in my shoulders or neck. Some people use myofascial release tools but tense up and shrug their shoulders up to their ears. Focusing on extending through your limbs and crown 👸, relaxing your shoulders down, and then checking that they ARE relaxed by gently moving your head side to side and/or up-and-down is a great way to ensure that you get the most out of your tools and time!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I’ve partnered with @modernhealthathletic to get you an ⚡️EXTRA 15%⚡️ off all of the @pso_rite products! 🎉 Head on over to pso-rite.com ( swipe up link 🆙 in stories!) and save an extra 15% when you enter ✨“WIN15”✨! 🙌⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #hipflexors #tighthips #psoas #runner #tracknation #speed #recovery #restday #sportsperformance #psorite #fitness #fitspo #workoutvideo #back #backworkout #selfmassage #massage #hipmobility #hipmobilityworkout #mobility #glutes #hip #piriformis #squats #triathlete #swimmer #betterrecovery #modernhealthathletic #miamifitness (at South Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4C3JRYguW1/?igshid=aeh0ntcsioh9

When I first started #aerialyoga the fabric placement in flying downwards facing dog felt super intense! Hello hip flexors!! I love playing around with variations of this pose now - it feels so great for my hips and back, but I remember that it took me a while to get comfortable here. I made special cushions for our studio to add a bit of extra padding around your hips, it makes a big difference especially the first few times you try as your body gets used to the sensation. How was your first flying downdog? Love at first flight? Or did it take a while... . . . #gardenofyoga #aerialyogalove #yogalove #yogalife #aerialyogaflow #hipflexors #inversion #northcote #yogamelbourne #melbourneyoga #aerialyogateacher #aerialyogaplay (at Garden of Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7k_tkPA-WB/?igshid=87xd6id030wk

⛷Anyone else getting their #skilegs ready? Sit at a desk all day and need to stretch and strengthen under active and weak #hipflexors? An athlete trying to prevent overuse injuries? . Slide 1: This series addresses both extension and flexion while strengthening and stretching the Psoas and hip and Glute muscles. Intention is given to pull on flexion and push on extension, building stability and challenging your balance while protecting your knees and ankles. . Slide 2: Stretches and strengthens all your hamstring and hip muscles in multiple angulation a, emphasizing injury prevention. . These can be done anywhere, anytime with any body! We hold each phase for 2 seconds and repeat up to 10 reps. Keep weight equally distributed on your feet, do not squeeze with your toes! . . . . . . . . . #sportyoga #yogaforathletes #balancetraining #stabilitytraining #playability #performbetter #injuryprevention #kneeprotector #mobility #poweryogaforsports #skiing #fitmom #workouttips #10minutesaday #stretcheveryday #yogaflow #hamstringworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/B4I6TcPjqli/?igshid=cbcxoemnzsqf
