How to Balance the Shoulder Muscles

Shoulder pain can be caused by issues with the muscles attached to the shoulder blade, also known as the scapula. This can result in a change in the scapula’s resting position or lead to irregular motion when moved. This is typically due to altered muscle recruitment in that area which can develop into further issues such as shoulder impingement, rotator cuff dysfunction and instability. Research has shown that the muscle imbalance is typically due to excess activation of the upper trapezius along with decreased control of the lower trapezius and serratus anterior. Exercise can be easily incorporated in a rehabilitation program [...]

Overcoming Gluteal Dysfunction

What could be causing my hip pain? The gluteal muscles, commonly known as the glutes, are a group of three muscles - gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimums - that attach from the pelvis and sacrum to the femurs. These muscles are involved in motion at the hip joint, also known as the femoroacetabular joint.

Static Stretch vs Dynamic Stretch

The proper way to stretch for warm up and cool down When we do any kind of physical activity, it is important to take the time to warm up before and cool down after. Many grew up learning that they should stretch to achieve this, more specifically static stretch. This is where you move a joint as far as it can go and hold it for a few seconds. It feels great, but it is actually not the best thing to do before engaging in physical activity. You actually want to perform dynamic stretches. Dynamic Stretching A dynamic stretch is when [...]

Learn to Run: Foot Strike Pattern

Foot Strike Pattern Foot strike pattern is exactly how it sounds: where on your foot you land when you run. You may have heard that it is more efficient to run on your toes. But is this really the case?  The short answer to the question is no, the long answer is that it is very person-dependent and there are more important factors than just what part of your foot hits the ground first.
