2. Glute bridge - lay on the floor with your knees bent to about 45 degrees, lift up by pushing through your heels, hold at the top and by activating the glutes. When at the top you can also lift your heels off the ground in an alternating pattern to add a bit more activation to those glutes!
Give these a try and shoot us a DM with any questions!

"I-T-Y" or "I-Y-T" or "T-Y-I" 🤔 There are many different versions, here are a few of my favorite: 1️⃣Standing hinge: Bend over in a forward hinge position 2️⃣Sitting: Hinge at the hips leaning forward 3️⃣Yoga ball: Kneel and rest chest on the ball Try them with palms up✋, down🤚 or facing each other with thumbs up👍. ⬆️⬆️Raise arms in front of you to an overhead position, shoulder width apart. (11:30 and 12:30 position). This is the 'I". Slowly bring arms back down to neutral ↔️ Raise arms out from your sides to shoulder height (9 and 3). This is the "T". Slowly bring arms back down to neutral ↖️↗️ Raise arms at an angle from your center to overhead, slightly wider than your shoulders (10 and 2). This is the "Y". These should be done slowly without using your upper traps. Really focus on mid and lower trap activation and improving your ROM over time! It won't happen overnight so be patient and focus on improving today's mobility. Remember to keep that chin back!

Thoracic mobility! The “open book” exercise is a great tool for the upper and mid back. It also helps stretch tight pecs and shoulders. We prescribe these to our patients from time to time especially those who spend most of their day on a computer. Support your head with a yoga block, pillow, or rolled up towel to keep the neck neutral. Support your knees with the same items or a foam roller to keep your pelvis neutral. Start on your side with arms straight in front of you and palms together. Brace your midsection so your lumbar region doesn’t “sag”. Slowly bring the top arm up and over and reach to the opposite side tracking the hand with the tip of your nose. Hold for 3 seconds and slowly return to start. This movement should be very slow and controlled. You want minimal movement from your hips and keep your bottom elbow, knee and foot glued to the floor. Only reach as far as you can comfortably. Try this for 10 reps and watch your reach increase over time. Don’t forget to breathe! 🤸♀️ #selfcare #chiropractic #bodywise #tempeaz #stretching #openbook #exercise #wellness DISCLAIMER: This content is for informational purposes only and does not take the place of an evaluation.

Happy EVERYBODY DESERVES A MASSAGE week! | JULY 18-24 Did you know we have 3 massage therapists that work out of our office? Massage can be a great addition to your chiropractic care and YOU DESERVE IT! 💆 There are so many benefits of massage. Not only does it reduce stress and muscle tension but it can improve circulation, increase sleep quality, reduce everyday aches and pains and so much more... 🧘♀️ Maybe you can't make it to a massage therapist. There are plenty of things you can do for self-massage at home. Here is one of our favorites for shoulder tension: Self Myofascial Release with a mobility ball. Grab a tennis ball and go to your door frame. Get into a deep split stance with your opposite leg forward. Locate a tender spot on your upper traps with the ball in your opposite hand and bend at the hips so your torso is parallel to the floor. Apply pressure to the ball by leaning forward into the door frame using your back leg. Once you find a "good spot", stay there for 30-60s. Rest and repeat. Do this 3-4 times to help release some upper trapezius tension. #chiropractor #tempe #selfcare #massage #foamrolling #myofascialrelease #selfmassage DISCLAIMER: This content is for informational purposes only and does not take the place of an evaluation.

Happy National Thread the Needle Day!
NATIONAL THREAD THE NEEDLE DAY | June 25
The term "thread the needle" has multiple meanings so for the sake of human movement relevance, we'll stick with the exercise. 🤸
The "thread the needle stretch" is a great movement for tight shoulders, pecs and back. For those that need to work on thoracic mobility it can be especially beneficial.
Here's a version you can try at home:
Kneel so that you're sitting on your feet or as close as your flexibility allows. This will help keep your lower back from doing all the work. Bring your elbows to your knees, palms down, drop your shoulders away from your ears (I see you 😉) and leave an opening just big enough to fit your arm through comfortably. Start in this neutral position then glide your opposite arm through the opening and reach, reach, reach! Then slowly bring your arm back through and reach up toward the ceiling. Make sure your nose follows the direction of your reaching hand throughout the entire movement. keep it slow and controlled with 8-10 reps and proceed to the other side. You may notice one side is more difficult or "tighter" than the other and that's ok. The mobility will come with time and consistency. This can be especially helpful for those that work on a computer, work in a forward leaning posture like a mechanic, or spend a lot of time using a sewing machine (see what I did there?). 🧵

This is your friendly reminder to get up and move! Keep those joints lubricated. Be sure to drink plenty of water and try to exercise 30 mins/day 3 times per week.
