Chances are your shoulders aren’t the reason for these aches and pains.⁣ ⁣ Upper back stiffness is the silent cause for most shoulder problems in striking. If the spine is unable to rotate in an adequate range of motion, it is not doing the job it was designed. It’s kind of like a high school group project. The work has to get done no matter what. If you have a known slacker in the group, someone else overworks themselves do the leftover requirements. That overworked groupmate in this scenario is going to be the shoulders. ⁣ ⁣ When the T-Spine doesn’t rotate, then the shoulders are asked to pick up the slack. This can lead to overloading of the tissue that can cause damage in the long run. A great way to get ahead of this scenario is to throw some mid-back mobilizations into your weekly routine!⁣ ⁣ Check out the video above and message me if you have any questions!⁣ ⁣ ———————————————⁣ ⁣ Always consult a medical professional if you are in pain to manage your condition. If you do not have anyone in your area that you consult, feel free to contact me and I am more than happy to get you in contact with someone who can help.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ --------------------------------------⁣ ⁣⁣ #chiropractic #sportsmedicine #sportsmedicine #backpain #neckpain #shoudlerpain #lowbackpain #mobility #grappling #mma #ufc #jiujitsu⁣ #wrestling #bellator #boxing #muaythai #scottsdale #arizona #az #fitness ⁣
Instagram post 2246810105131408842_5547710556 💥 Foot Mobility and Combat Athletes 💥⁣ ⁣ One undervalued attribute of the combat athlete is foot mobility. The foot is one of the 2 main power generating centers of the body. Outside of the stable trunk that generates force, the foot pushing into the ground allows you to then propel your body forward. This is true in throwing punches and kicks, as well as shooting takedowns. ⁣ ⁣ If your forefoot isn't as mobile as it should be, that means somewhere through the foot/leg is going to be more mobile than it has to be to compensate. Because you’re throwing that kick whether your foot is functioning well or not. ⁣ ⁣ Not only will this make you less efficient when striking, which could decrease power, it also could lead to unnecessary stress on the ankle, knee, or hip that may turn into a problem moving forward. ⁣ ⁣ So do yourself a favor and start shaking hands with your feet. It lets them move like they were designed and gets them out of those foot coffins we call shoes 🦶⚰️⁣ ⁣ ——————————————⁣ ⁣ Always consult a medical professional if you are in pain to manage your condition.

Instagram post 2246084271982674484_5547710556 💥 Dry Needling and Performance Care 💥⁣ ⁣ Here we have @ray_H20 getting some needling on the shoulders and traps before his first round TKO last weekend 💪👊⁣ ⁣ Performance care isn’t just about fixing aches and pains during fight camp. It’s also about finding areas that could be limiting performance and eliminating them as best as possible. In this case we had some tightness through the rotator cuff, deltoids and traps that weren’t exactly painful, but were causing a decrease in the mobility of the shoulders.⁣ ⁣ Electric dry needling is an extremely effective tool. By going into the muscle and then causing a low intensity contraction, Electro-needling is extremely efficient at decreasing muscle tone and increasing range of motion. This then allows us to train that increased range of motion and over time, gives you the ability to use it on your own. In most cases, increased mobility + increased motor control = increase in performance potential.⁣ ⁣ If you would like to find someone that does performance care near you, shoot me a message and I would be happy to point you in the right direction!⁣ ⁣ --------------------------------------⁣ ⁣⁣ #chiropractic #sportsmedicine #sportsinjury #performancecare #lowbackpain #backpain #neckpain #shoulderpain #mobility #grappling #mma #ufc #bjj #wrestling #bellator #boxing #scottsdale #arizona #az #fitness ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
Instagram post 2243262789594197434_5547710556 💥Flywheel Bike💥⁣ ⁣ Here is a real quick snapshot into the end of our performance training session with @thejawaiian. It’s always a pleasure to work with this stud! ⁣ The flywheel bike is a staple of what we do over at the clinic and an amazing tool for combat athletes of all levels. Whether it’s for performance training or rehab, this is an extremely versatile piece of equipment. It can assist in everything from decreasing recovery time to helping develop explosive power. One common misconception though, is that every time you use it you have to bust it 100%. This is the opposite of working smarter, not harder. ⁣ ⁣ Finding out your individual needs and energy system requirements boil down to getting a great assessment done. This allows you to figure out your deficiencies and find what intensity/time interval works best for you! ⁣ ⁣ If you’re looking for someone to get a thorough assessment done on your needs, shoot me a message and I would love to get you in contact with someone that can help you be the most badass Warrior you can be!⁣ ⁣ --------------------------------------⁣ ⁣⁣ #chiropractic #sportsmedicine #sportsinjury #lowbackpain #backpain #neckpain #mobility #grappling #mma #ufc #jiujitsu⁣ #wrestling #fitness #bellator #boxing #muaythai #scottsdale #arizona #strengthtraining ⁣
Instagram post 2242448230113349802_5547710556 💥Neck Pain and Bridging💥⁣ ⁣ We all know for combat sports we need a strong neck. Getting struck in the face or thrown on your head requires you to have high levels of neck stability. This however does not mean you have to do the same drills your great-grandfather did for neck training. ⁣ ⁣ The aggravating part of a neck bridge is the compression through the cervical spine. This compression tends to be an aggravator of many different neck injuries. One very common grappling injury, cervical disc herniations, are particularly sensitive to this compression. Think about this compression and neck pain like picking a scab, the more you pick it off the longer it takes to heal up. The more compression you keep adding to an already damaged neck, the longer it is going to take to heal up. ⁣ ⁣ This is not a case of “no pain, no gain”. This actually is quite the opposite. There are many other alternatives to help strengthen up the neck that I will be starting to post moving forward! So when in doubt, if it hurts cut it out. ⁣ ⁣ If you are unsure of what alternatives to do, shoot me a message and I am more than happy to talk about different options. ⁣ ⁣ ———————————————⁣ ⁣ Always consult a medical professional if you are in pain to manage your condition.

Instagram post 2241843104604520714_5547710556 💥 Performance Care 💥⁣ ⁣ Had the pleasure of having my man @hitmanmoret in to the clinic today to get after some performance care. Many athletes have some minor aches and pains that should be addressed. They also have limiting factors that can be looked at to help increase power and biomechanical advantage. Performance care is the idea of blending healthcare and performance training into one cohesive unit. This typically follows the model of “make it feel better”, “load it up”, and “integrate it”.⁣ ⁣ Before the video we got after some focused soft tissue work. Then we loaded him with reactive grip training and trunk/shoulder stability. After the hard work, we finished with some light technique to integrate what we primed. ⁣ ⁣ It's not just about taking things that hurt and making them feel better, because pain isn’t the only indicator that something needs to change. It’s about removing as many obstacles as possible that are in the way of reaching your potential. Getting you moving and operating at 115%! ⁣ ⁣ P.S. Someone tell @hitmanmoret that jeans are not workout attire 🤣⁣ ———————————————⁣ ⁣ Always consult a medical professional if you are in pain to manage your condition.

Instagram post 2240974220498530639_5547710556 💥 Back Stiffness and Grappling 💥⁣ ⁣ This ½ kneeling shoulder sweep is sneaky at how challenging it may be. It is a fantastic way to help throw some shoulder mobility into spine mobility, making you feel loosey goosey before training.⁣ ⁣ For combat sports, especially when striking, the combination of shoulder and spine mobility is crucial. when we are lacking one or the other, that's when problems can occur. Whether it could lead to injury or just performance decrease let nip this in the butt before it's an issue! ⁣ ⁣ Throw these into your pre-practice prep and start to notice the difference!⁣ ⁣ ————————————————⁣ ⁣ Always consult a medical professional if you are in pain to manage your condition.

Instagram post 2238860120859351290_5547710556 💥 Stop Stretching Hamstrings for Sciatica 💥⁣ ⁣ Chances are that “sciatica” you’re feeling stems from the spine. Actually the most recent study on arm and leg pain showed that 42% of the arm and leg symptoms they looked at had some sort of spine involvement. 42%. That’s fairly close to half. Because of this, we need to factor in the spine into how you handle situations like sciatica. ⁣ ⁣ In the case of “sciatica” we need to factor in the low back. The low back typically likes to get a little more extension into its life. This could be due to a large amount of variables, but I boil it down to one thing. Most people do a copious amount of flexion(low back rounding) when compared to extension (back arching). Sitting at a chair, driving, doing crunches for that marvelous 6 pack, or watching TV; all of these have a low back rounding component. In some individuals, but not all, this may lead to a radiating symptom down the leg. ⁣ ⁣ I like to think about low back rounding like fast food. Everyone has that skinny friend that inhales fast food but stays the same weight with no health issues. However we know for the majority of the population, inhaling fast food leads to an increase in weight and decrease in health. While rounding the low back isn’t inherently bad for everyone, it has a higher probability to be.⁣ ⁣ Instead of trying to stretch the sciatica away, take a look at the hashtag #LBPWSW for a few different options you can throw in instead! ⁣ ⁣ ————————————————⁣ ⁣ Always consult a medical professional if you are in pain to manage your condition.

Instagram post 2238178488527822077_5547710556 💥 Back Stiffness and Combat Sports 💥⁣ ⁣ Part of getting rid of chronic stiffness is knowing where where in the body needs to be stable, and what needs to be mobile. In this case, the mid back should be a mobile section while the low back shoulder be a stable section. This Low Bear Rotation is a good way to accomplish both of those.⁣ ⁣ This drill is a fantastic example of why the low bear is so versatile. You can train the core expansion/stability, all while reaching through and testing the mid back rotation. This is an extremely useful way to help put the pieces together in a way that translates directly to combat sports. ⁣ ⁣ ✔️ Want to throw a strike? Stable core, mobile back⁣ ⁣ ✔️ Want to sweep from guard? Stable core, mobile back⁣ ⁣ ✔️ Want vicious ground and pound without getting swept? Stable core, mobile back⁣ ⁣ This is a constant feature of combat sports, so start training it! ⁣ ⁣ —————————————⁣ ⁣ Always consult a medical professional if you are in pain to manage your condition.
