One Body Physical Therapy

Still doing this thing called mobility Wednesdays at 7!

Mobility class guarantees:
1. You’ll learn something new about your body’s needs
2. You’ll feel a muscle or stretch in a way you hadn’t before
3. You’ll learn a new mobility drill for that ache or pain
4. You’ll leave feeling ready to climb/moving better

This years chapter in my wellness journey: Introducing mobility

Last year I took this picture and was in SHOCK at how limited I was. As a PT I felt embarrassed and surprised I never noticed or realized how uncomfortable I felt. I had so much neural tension in my neck and spine I couldn’t let my head hang 😬

This realization fueled my decision to start developing mobility programming from my PT and personal training knowledge. I loved the idea of sharing this with the community and give them access to PT knowledge for wellness vs reactively for injuries.

Despite what you typically see on social media from fitness influences to self proclaimed specialists we are all working on different aspects of our wellness journey in one way or another. I’ll never master anything but I’ll happily share my journey. I’ve always promised myself I’ll be well rounded enough to be able to try anything fitness related.

As a movement specialist I can help you analyze your form and improve. Better form means efficiency, risk reduction and improved performance:)

Ideally these two lines would be parallel in each portion of your squat

Analyzing your squat from the lateral view:

Compare these two angles…

1. Trunk angle: Center of hip and center of shoulder
2. Shin angle: Center of knee to center of ankle

How to:
✔️Camera at hip height
✔️ Feet aligned
✔️ 5 second pauses at varying parts of the squat, analyze each:
-50%, 75%, 90% squat

My example shows that at the bottom of my squat the lines become slightly less parallel.

If these lines are meeting at your screen, reach out! I love helping people improve ;)

Hawaii outranks any place in the US for easy of access to trails and the ocean. Countless trails within a short drive from town, a walk or bike to the beach for amazing dives and surf action. Being able to enjoy it for as long as possible has always been a motivator to prioritize my physical well-being. I mean why pay for the cost of paradise if you can’t physically enjoy it ;)

What are your motivators for longevity?

Sundays at 4:30pm full body mobility in the park. Would love to see you there!
