@adamdevine doin work. #bluesteel ⚡️@neuxtec for improving hip mobility 📳 @rapidreleasetech for soft tissue prep ✋🏽 @sprttherapy to improve neck & shoulder soft tissue quality and range of motion 🎥 @sydneyydillon

If you truly want to improve: ✅ Recovery ✅ Injury Prevention ✅ Human Performance You HAVE to improve Soft Tissue Quality 1st. If you're trying to exercise or rehab....w poor quality tissues... 👉🏽 muscle 👉🏽 fascia 👉🏽 ligaments / tendons Your brain 🧠 will be extremely challenged...to connect to the densified, dysfunctional tissue in the areas you're trying to train... and you will ultimately be feeding compensation patterns and create imbalances, that will reduce performance and set you up for more injuries... if you have not addressed the poor quality (tight, densified, dried out, disconnected) tissues 1st. @sprttherapy First Principles: 1️⃣ Improve the quality of the tissues 2️⃣ Then connect the 🧠 through movement and exercise But understand...not all soft tissue work and sports massage is created equal. If you want to learn how to... ✔️ work w the body & the 🧠...not against it ✔️ have the process be more comfortable for the athlete ✔️ connect the neuromuscular system 💪🏽...instead of sending it into Sympathetic (fight or flight) and disconnecting everything further ✔️and have it be easier on your body (the practitioner)...

There's a lot of great workouts for... ⚾️baseball 🏐volleyball 🏀basketball🏄Surfing etc... But if we REALLY want to change the injury epidemic in HS, College and especially in the Pro's... you HAVE to start w training kids foundational movement patterns first. The challenges below... ✔️Limited foot stability ✔️Limited ankle mobility ✔️Faulty squat patterns ✔️Lack of hip/core control ✔️Poor posture.... not only affect their performance... it also sets them up for injury. Our workouts aren't about getting stronger (even though that happens)... they're about ✅ moving the right way ✅ and controlling their bodies 1st... to help avoid that ACL, back or elbow/ shoulder injury in High School... when their well-meaning Strength Coaches...start loading w their imbalanced, uncontrolled bodies / movement patterns... Or the years of Reps w/o balanced movements in the opposite direction or w/o adequate rest...catch up w them. @tomhousesports @dnsrehabilitation All say...train movement 1st...then train muscles. If you load muscles...before your brain 🧠 can control your body...you're setting yourself up for trouble. Just bc they can "do it"...doesn't necessarily mean it's good for them...at this point in their development. Everything we're doing...starts 1st and foremost w... ✅ Foot stability / Ankle mobility ✅ Hip / Core Control ✅ Proper Posture then the exercise is 2nd...to their ability to control their bodies. The movement is lots of times just the test. Once they can control those 3 priorities throughout the exercise...then they can progress. Get savagely good at the simple stuff...and do it consistently. 💪🏽 If you're in OC and want to join us for a workout...please comment or DM me...or visit the link in Bio above 👆🏽
