Out of Office 🎄🎄
2022 has been an insanely fun and challenging year and l want to thank you all for taking the journey through performance and rehabilitation with me.
Thank you for trusting the team and I to help you achieve your goals and guide you along the way.
Thank you for allowing me to have this space to go through my movement & nerdy rants and for engaging in this community that we’ve built.
I go into the holiday season being so so grateful for each and everyone that has made this year amazing!
Here’s to 2023 and all that it holds ✌🏾

Happy Monday!!
The goal of today’s mobility is to help maintain overhead stability while going into a squat.
Hip disassociation is something that we should all be able to do as humans to some extent.
We should be able to go into a squat without automatically caving our chest forward - usually that is a sign of core weakness.
Cues for this one:
▶️ Stand wide to start and get narrower as your hip range of motion improves and your core gets stronger
▶️ Hold the band wider and just like with the hips - make it narrower as your range of motion improves.
▶️ Drop into a squat first while trying to keep a relatively upright torso - only go as low as you can with control
▶️ Once you get more comfortable with the squat - THEN you can add the rotation
A great warm up if you’re planning on doing any Olympic movements or overhead lifting

Happy Thanksgiving Crew!!
I’m thankful for so much this year I wouldn’t be able to put it all in a caption.
I’m thankful for my family, my friends, and great coworkers!
Im also very thankful for this community that has kept me learning and out of my comfort zone! The fact that I’m still passionate about creating and educating through this page years after it was just an idea when I first graduated university is insane. You keep that fire going so thank you!
Enjoy your day with family 🤍🤍

Happy Monday!
Spent an amazing time with the work team in the Okanagan over the weekend and I’m quite excited to be back at work. I’ll be posting my available hours on my story if anyone wants to come in for treatment or training.
Talking about training - one of my favourite things to train personally is hip dissassociation and core strength. Especially cause a lot of the hip/back pain people deal with comes from overactive or tight hips. Having a strong core is good in maintaining hip mobility because for hips to move, the muscles around it have to be able to contract & relax. If your core strength comes from your hip flexors contracting all the time, then they become overactive and that starts to limit your hip extension which can cascade to other things.
