Low back or SI Joint pain at the end of a long run? This is for you. 🫵🏼When we run we get fatigued and sometimes return to a position that uses the joints for stability which can sometimes irritate the joints of your low back. These movements help “open up” those low back joints and can help mitigate some irritation. #5 is my favorite for tying it all together, especially for runners 🏃🏽 Give these a try, and share with a running buddy who deals with low back pain 👍🏼#runner #lowbackpainrelief #backpain #marathon #runningthreads #triathlete #corestabilitytraining

Here’s how to test your running shoes before you buy!

ANKLE MOBILITY FOR RUNNERS 🏃🏽 Ankle range of motion is important for each phase of running. Ankles too stiff? You may feel it in your shins. Ankles too mobile? You may feel it in your calf, Achilles tendon, or knee. If you’ve been struggling with pain in any of those areas, consult a movement professional to remain running, pain free. Stay moving, always forward. #anklepain #running #runningrehab #kneepainrelief #anklemobility

“I was told to never run again”. “My knee is bone on bone”.“I can’t run or workout without knee pain”. Instead of eliminating the activity completely, let’s modify to stay moving, and gradually get you back to the thing that caused you pain in the first place. If you have pain with a walking or forward lunge, try this reverse lunge modification. Stay Moving. #kneepainrelief #crossfit #cycling #running

Weak glutes get a lot of blame. When we see runners with knee pain, they have often been told that the glutes are the issue. Can you stand up from a chair? Great, your glutes are strong. Could they be contributing? Yes. But the more likely culprit has to do with their overall training and recovery. If you’re a runner or endurance athlete, try this exercise in the meantime. If pain persists, shoot me a DM. Let’s keep you moving, always forward. 📍Metro Movement

Stay Moving. #running #runner #deskjob #marathon #halfmarathon #otf #hipmobility #lowbackpainrelief #hippainrelief #cycling

Reframe your thoughts 💭 You just tweaked your back while deadlifting…it must mean the deadlift was the problem, right? Wrong ❌Pain is often due to a LOT of different things. How is your sleep? How is your mobility? Did you stay out late partying the night before? How are your stress levels? When was the last time you lifted this weight? As you can see, there are a lot of things that can influence the way we feel, and it all adds to our “bucket”. If the bucket overflows, it might cause some pain as a result. The deadlift by itself probably wasn’t the issue, it’s just the thing that caused the bucket to overflow. 🪣 Find a provider who knows, understands, and cares for you, your values, and your goals.
