Re-Align Exercise Therapy

Here is a great transformation! Can you see the changes? From coming in to see us for headaches and neck pain, to getting out of pain completely…

Here is a posture exercise called the hip crossover stretch, which promotes hip and spinal rotation.
How to:
1. Lie on your back with both knees bent and your feet flat on the floor pointed straight ahead.
2. Place your arms out to the side at shoulder level, with your palms facing up, backs of hands on the floor.
3. Cross your left ankle over your right knee and rotate the ankle/knee junction down toward the floor.
4. Your left foot should now be flat on the floor, along with the outside of your right leg.
5. Look in the opposite direction and relax your neck and shoulders.
6. Press the left knee away from your body using the left hip muscles.
Hold as directed on your menu, then switch sides and repeat.

People ask me all the time what I do. Here are the main fancy titles, then I’ll explain: Board Certified Exercise Physiologist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, Functional Movement Specialist, Posture Alignment Specialist....

What I do is watch people move and look for what doesn’t move well. Below you see lines that outline what is going on in the static postures and confirmed with functional tests. Think of the lines below as how your muscles are pulling on the bones. After finding the deviations (anything outside a vertical and horizontal line), I create exercises that help straighten those lines to bring you back into alignment. When the muscles are left to compensate or are out of alignment, they do damage to the body... leaving you with pain and or injury.
