The Rehab Plus

✨️You are your own limitation✨️

🧠 It all starts with the mind.

"Just getting old" - Age is often used as a reason for aches, pains, inability to do something physical. However, your body is only as old as you let it get.

The body is designed to do things - it is strong, resilient, capable.

The more we think we aren't capable, the more we avoid even trying.

Why? - for the fear of failure?

If you never push your physical self to try, how would you really know what you are capable of. It might be hard, it might hurt to begin with, but with consistency, underatnding, willingness to try, learn and fail, things can always improve.

🧠Believe in yourself. Believe it can happen.

🔥Moving or Static Cups🔥 or both 🤷🏽‍♀️

🤯 Some serious cupping occurred, client was experiencing poor mobility through his thoracic region - post treatment = increase range of motion throughout area, able to retract scapulas and move shoulders freely.

So let's talk about what it shows 🧠👌🏽

The left side clearly came out darker indicating increased stagnant blood flow on that side. Healthy, looser, muscles require good blood flow, without it, they remain tight, can reduce your mobility and lead to other problems down the line.

Cupping helps strip the fascial layer (layer above muscle) which makes it easier to get to the deeper layers of the muscle, can speed treatments up and keeping things progressing.

The line seen on the left side is from moving cupping, which increases blood flow even faster than static cups, often used for stubborn/overly tight areas for the above reasons.

Tightness can result from things such as overuse, underuse, incorrect use or compensations....

The marks do not always come out dark, especially the more you get it done as it will increase your overall circulation thus improving your muscles and movement.

🎓Recovery is as important as training to keep you moving and doing all the things you want to do!

🔥 Hypermobility is NOT flexibility! 🔥

🧠 Hypermobility is when a joint can move beyond it's normal range of motion, often due to increased laxity in the ligaments and weaker surrounding muscles.

➡️ This can increase the risk for injury, recurrent or chronic pain.

🎓 WHY: hypermobile joints are unstable in nature - direct impact or situations/movements can result in frequent dislocations.
________________________________________

🧠 Flexibility is the natural ability of body tissues to gain movement and increase range of motion in joints and muscles without injury.

➡️ Flexibility can be increased through adequate stretching and mobility training.

🔹️ Mobile joints are important in maintaining the health of other structures such as cartilage.

🎓 Decreased flexibility = increased stress on tissues, tendons, ligaments. Inflexible muscles fatigue faster leaving them unable to protect joints from severe injuries.
