Nice move. Just tried it and it even relieved some tension I had in my shoulders. First time I've seen this stretch. Thanks. Can't wait to try it in the morning.
Thank you guys for posting! I am a new PT and am interested if you guys have any information on how you determine your corrective exercises and what algorithm you use. I would love to see a video about the framework for professionals or is it something I can find in your book?
Good video , recently brought a board & have been paddling on my news, yesterday was able to stand for 1 minute 30 seconds, not just getting my balance 😂
In the SFMA specifically, you will usually have clues to vestibular deficits that will start in the Top Tier Cervical spine movements. These in themselves stimulate the vestibular system and the client may have complaints of "I get dizzy when I move my head" or even perhaps near falls (especially with cervical extension). Watch out for these!
@@tomastorn1 Selective Functional Movement Assessment. As the video suggests, if there is uncertainty or unfamiliarity in what or how the vestibular system works, or the client has complaints of vertigo/spinning sensation, this requires a more thorough assessment from a vestibular specialist. These specialists are typically physical therapists, though there are other professions that hold specialization.
As a fellow health and wellness creator, I truly appreciate the insights shared in this episode with James Breese. The emphasis on optimizing walking speed and making it a fun challenge is a fantastic approach to engage a broader audience, especially those who may feel intimidated by more intense forms of exercise. Walking is often underrated in the fitness community, yet it offers numerous benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, enhanced mood, and increased mobility, particularly for older adults. The 20-minute walk test you introduced is a brilliant way to set achievable goals and foster a sense of community among participants. It’s inspiring to see how this simple activity can ignite a competitive spirit and motivate individuals to push their limits. Additionally, I’d love to see more discussions around the mental health benefits of walking, such as its role in reducing anxiety and depression. Incorporating mindfulness practices during walks could also enhance the experience, allowing individuals to connect with their surroundings and themselves. Thank you for shedding light on such an important topic! I look forward to more episodes that explore innovative ways to promote movement and wellness. Keep up the great work!
My PT showed me this today and shared your video. The one thing he added in more detail was to think of grabbing the kettle bell. Then turning my straight arms/wristd out, to activate the side muscles. I am doing all kinds of things to rehab lower back. At 73 my irregularities caught up with me! Tx 🎉 for your excellent video. I will also be using this method in horse barn work😊
After a knee injury in my teens i was told for about 20 years not to put pressure on my knees. About 10 years ago I asked myself what would happen if I did? Have been doing ever since and will be 65 soon, much more stable as a result
I remember in 2013 seeing you, Gray, and Lee in Los Angeles, which I had some conversations with you 3. Glad to hear Grey is working with PE Teachers in Virgina. Need more individuals to help Gray and I in the classroom
@fms Is it normal for me to struggle with changing my mindset to, "I need to go immediately into memorizing all corrective exercises" to "How can I take a step back and approach this?"
THIS is what I term as " whole health" ! unfortunate that our 'medical system' prioritizes pharma financial, as opposed to human healing gains. wish you 3 were in Alberta Canada. ... 'self diagnosis' is our 'go-to' choice, unless you want to be part of the fallout damage of our 'medical system' up here.
This is the first video on standing up on a Sup that really makes sense. Just purchased a board and have been applying my kayak background to knee paddle a 14' board all over the lake . Standing has been an issue and I haven't even attempted to stand because of balance issues. Your half knee approach from tall kneeling is an eye opener for me. I will be applying this method the next time I'm out on the lake. Thanks so much for posting a method that I believe has provided me with the key to standing up on an SUP with confidence. Regards, John .
Great stuff! At the end of this podcast, you mentioned how a coach wouldn't train someone who couldn't get up from the ground unloaded. It reminded me of old martial arts masters who refused to teach a young protoge who couldn't perform the most basic task. In the world of performance or rehab, what would be a "basic task" or prerequisite to begin/resume training?
Bro you have no idea how core is important in doing pushups,i can do20pushups and i fail because of my weak core not my arms,mu arms would have some fuel to continue but mu core fails
