CorAlign Pilates

What does a Pilates Instructor do when she’s sick with a head cold and had to cancel her day? Like 99% of the population (if you sit most of the day this is likely you) I don’t do enough hip flexor stretching to improve my very limited hip extension which we all need to have to be able to walk properly. Can’t praise Joseph Pilates, Katy Bowman (NutritiousMovement.com) & the Foot Collective enough for their work…it’s all made a tremendous difference in my awareness and body. I love sharing what I’ve learned with anyone who wants to learn too. Pilates

Great post from The Foot Collective.

Another brilliant post from good friends .physiotherapy 👏

Train what you want to maintain ✔️
Your mobility is a representation of positions, movements, and ranges of motion that you use regularly.
➡️ Mobility is freedom to express movement. Maintaining mobility is an important aspect of your movement health and your overall health.
🔑 To keep your mobility, train the ranges of motion you wish to maintain.
Some examples of basic human positions and movements to train and maintain:
• Squat position/pattern
• Hip extension for gait
• Sitting positions (ie. cross leg, 9090)
• Hanging/overhead
• Toe touch/deep bend
Maintaining these can be done in a gym or home setting, with or without weight. It’s a matter of exposing yourself to the various planes of motion that you wish to keep using!
Getting comfortable and strong in the positions you want to maintain is a key part of maintaining them.
If your joints are used to being trained in a variety of ranges of motion, your body will be more free to move as it wants and needs during activities, tasks, sports, and life in general.
Make an effort to maintain your mobility by training it ✅
