Mobility Monday! Hip Extension: 1. Band Assisted Hip Extension Psoas Tri-Planar Stretch -As you perform this exercise place a strong resistance band just below the gluteal fold. Allow the tension of the band to pull the hip forward and lean into the stretch. -Perform *8-12x reps of reaching tall with a slight lean back *8-12x reps of rotation towards front leg *8-12x reps of lean back with rotation towards front leg #chicago #chicagospineandsports #CSS #rehab #rehabchiro #chicagochiropractor #chicagochiro #mckenzie #MDT #hipmobility #hippain #hiptightness

Mobility Monday! Try these out to challenge thoracic rotation motor control. Both of these exercises are working to challenge stabilization while simultaneously working to train thoracic rotation. 1. Half Kneeling Kettlebell Thoracic Windmill Progression 2. Modified Low Oblique Thoracic Rotation Exercise #chicagospineandsports #CSS #chiropractic #rehab #rehabchiro #MDT #DNS #thoracicrotation #motorcontrol #chiro #chicagochiro

Try these 3 exercises for reducing neck pain, tightness, or headaches! 1. McKenzie - Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy Retraction-Extensions Repetitions x25 reps 2. Cervical/Thoracic Dissociation with Rotation/Flexion/Extension Repetitions 3x30 seconds 3. DNS 3 Month Prone with Rotations 3x30seconds #chicagospineandsports #chiropractor #mdt #mckenziemethod #cervical #neckpain #neckmobility #cervicalmobility #cervicaltightness #necktightness #mobility #physicaltherapy #chicago #headaches #retractions #dns #rehabchiro #rehabilitation #neckrehab

Our Loyola grad and intern are getting excited for this weekend. #GoRamblers #LoyolaChicago

Way to do work. #Repost @coach_b_fit4life (@get_repost) ・・・ Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training is used for rehabilitation and strength training purposes. It provides the stimulus necessary to reduce muscular atrophy in a patient recovering from injury and is being used by athletes to enhance muscular strength and hypertrophy during training. This allows the athlete to train the muscles at a much lower intensity while still providing the stimulus necessary to achieve these results. Here I am doing a set of 15 Split Squats to assist in the recovery of chronic knee issues. Thanks @chicagospineandsports

BFR and bent over rows
We rehab just like you can! When your shoulder is injured you can use light weights (20-30%) with #bloodflowrestriction training to stimulate similar training effects as lifting heavy weights (90%).

Supine internal rotation of the hip with opposite leg assist - wow that's a mouthful! You can use your opposite leg to drive limited internal rotation. Try to keep your back flat on the ground. Try 30 to 50 reps per leg, #everyday #reenforcement #hiprangeofmotion

We practice what we preach! Dr. Krefman using Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) to help with muscle hypertrophy and recovery.

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy has been shown to increase strength and hypertrophy at low loads. Great option when rehabbing an injury.

½ Kneeling Windmill - used to improve thoracic mobility. We like to use a wall to make sure you get the mobility from the right places. Make sure you reach with the moving arm and use the hand at the knee to push out so that you stabilize the pelvis. --------- #chiropractor #rehab #chicagospineandsports #sportsmed #sportsmedincine #chicago #rehab2performance #correctiveexercise #mobility #health #fitness #crossfit #4x4matrix #sfma #mckenzie #fms #flexiblity #thoracic #olympiclifting #movebetterfeelbetter
