Sharp Sports Therapy

🎄Day 12 - Good mornings🎄
🦵🏻I’m not normally a morning person, but I’ll make an exception for these🦵🏻
⭐️These are another great posterior chain movement, building resilience from the ground up⭐️

🎄Day 11 - Spanish isometric squats🎄
🦵🏻Give your knees the love they deserve. Tendons recover differently to muscles, and tendons love isometrics🦵🏻
⭐️ Isometrics provide an analgesic effect after completion, making them especially good for any rehabilitation involving the knee⭐️

🎄Day 10 - Pallof Press🎄
💪🏻This exercises uses more muscles than I have space to name. All of them fighting to keep you stable💪🏻
⭐️This challenges your bodies ability to resist rotation, teaching your body to resist movement instead of just creating it⭐️

🎄Day 9 - Hip airplanes🎄
🦵🏻This exercises forces your glute medius and glute minimus to work hard keeping your pelvis stable🦵🏻
⭐️Glute medius is one of the only muscles that works contralaterally (controls the opposite side of the body) to stabilise the pelvis during movement⭐️
(This can be done either way as shown, or without any assistance if a progression is needed)

🎄Day 8 - Serratus anterior press🎄
💪🏻Serratus anterior focuses on protraction and upward rotation of the scapula, an area lots of people have weakness💪🏻
⭐️A good scapulothoracic rhythm is essential for pain free lifts, allowing the scapula to glide freely over the thorax⭐️

🎄Day 7 - Standing hip flexion🎄
🦵🏻Training hip flexion, whilst improving proprioception and balance🦵🏻
⭐️Strong and mobile hips allows for better force production, making you faster and stronger⭐️

🎄Day 6 - Face pull with overhead press🎄
💪🏻Upper back movement with emphasis on the rotator cuff to stabilise the press💪🏻
⭐️Helps to build a strong base for any upper body lifts, especially overhead⭐️

🎄Day 5 - Romanian Deadlifts🎄
🦵🏻Hamstring strength isn’t optional, it’s essential🦵🏻
⭐️RDL’s are one of the best ways to load the posterior chain, whilst also reinforcing the hinge pattern⭐️

🎄Day 4 - Jefferson Curls🎄
💪🏻 Some therapists are still saying that your spine isn’t meant to move, but this couldn’t be further from the truth💪🏻
⭐️A strong and mobile spine is a healthy spine, while a weak and immobile spine is the root cause of many bad strains/sprains⭐️

🎄Day 3 - Hip flexor sit-ups🎄
🦵🏻Your hip flexors are used everyday, show them the love they deserve🦵🏻
⭐️Hip flexor weakness/tightness is very common among all ages and backgrounds, why not combat against both with one exercise⭐️

🎄Day 2 - Banded single arm chest press🎄
💪🏻 Your shoulders need to rotate, but they also need to resist rotation💪🏻
⭐️ The band allows more rotator cuff and core involvement, leading to a stronger foundation⭐️

🎄Day 1 - Hip External Rotation🎄
🦵🏻Hips don’t lie…. They just need rotation🦵🏻
⭐️Stronger hips = Stronger foundation = Happier Hips⭐️
