#Performance Physical Therapy

Because I work with a lot of dancers, I see snapping hip syndrome quite often and these are my three favorite exercises to address it 💪🏻 #physicaltherapy

🧠 If your patient keeps falling backward or just struggling to stand up, they are very likely missing the forward shift. These drills all target the same thing: 👉 anterior COM translation before extension What you’re training: • Forward weight shift • Proper hip hinge • Glute-driven extension • Loading the involved limb Progress/regress as needed: • Raise the surface to reduce demand • Let them use momentum, “stand on 3” • Add an external target to drive reach • Use staggered stance for forced loading • Add weight for increased challenge 👟 @kizik Athens 2 👕 @wearfigs Navy 🎵 Music: Footsteps Musician: Daniel Jorgensen (from Audiio) #neurorehab #neuropt #physicaltherapy

This was a physical therapy session with one of my patients, an incredible triathlete who just competed at Worlds - so impressive! She’s currently managing a hip labrum tear and hip impingement conservatively. Before Worlds, we were able to successfully calm her hip down, and now we’re focusing on ongoing maintenance as she takes some downtime before her next big season. We’ve had great success incorporating dry needling to her glute max and glute med, which we typically start the session with for 10–15 minutes. This helps “open a window” in the tissues, allowing for more movement before we begin the dynamic mobility and strengthening work. In her sessions, we focus on improving hip rotational control, emphasizing internal rotation (and external rotation as needed) to enhance movement quality and efficiency. At the same time, we strengthen the muscles that support her hip, ensuring she has the stability and power needed to handle the demands of her sport. Key exercises from today’s session: 1. Single-leg hinge → Hip CAR (with groin squeeze on foam roller) – builds rotational control 2. Cable-resisted curtsy lunge off a step – emphasizes hip internal rotation control 3. Side plank hold + banded adduction – strengthens the groin, core, and hip abductors 4. Banded stork to hinge – targets posterior chain and glute med 5. SL hamstring curls + hip flexion march – engages core, hamstrings, and hip flexors If you’re interested in virtual options, @gorunstronger offers personalized run and strength coaching, virtual consultations, training plans, injury programs, and our app’s monthly strength subscription 🩵 For in-person assessments and physical therapy you can book an appointment with me at Healthy Baller in Washington, DC 🦴 All the details for services offer and contact info linked in my bio 📲 #hippain #hiplabrum #hipmobility #hiplabrumrepair #hipstrength #hipflexibility #strengthtrainingforrunners  #running #runners #run #physicaltherapy #sportsphysicaltherapy #doctorofphysicaltherapy #sportsrehab #physicaltherapist #physio #sportstherapy

It really can feel like a lose-lose situation 😅 Whether you’re training 5x/week, jumping into a random workout, or just trying to get off the couch without your knees barking — the issue usually isn’t exercise itself. It’s dosage, load management, and having a plan that matches your body. The good news? There’s always a path forward. We’ll meet you where you are, calm things down, build capacity, and get you back to doing what you love — stronger and smarter this time. 💪

Falls & Balance Friday🕺 Progressing to some higher-level exercises this morning! #physiotherapy #fallsandbalance

Your hips are the silent MVP 🍑 ➡️🦵 When your hip muscles aren’t pulling their weight, your knees and hips pay the price. ✅ Strong hips keep your pelvis stable ✅ They control your alignment when you move ✅ Less wobble = less stress on your knees + hips 💬 Struggling with pain? Comment “ME” to learn how to fix it! Follow @bonniewilder.dpt for more PT content & @runningtheextramiles_ for running content! 💪🏼 #hippainrelief #hipmobility #mobility #strongrunner #hipflexors

Mulligan belt mobilization for the knee 🦵
Using a posterior → anterior tib-fem glide to help restore knee extension, paired with belt-assisted distraction to gap the joint as we move into flexion.
The goal isn’t force—it’s improving joint mechanics so motion feels smoother and more natural.
Assess ➡️ mobilize ➡️ reassess.

Dealing with SI joint discomfort, tight glutes, or nagging low back pain? These exercises can help ease tension and help unjam joints in the near by that often play a role in those problems. ⬇️ Grab a resistance band for assistance. Using a contract relax technique allows the piriformis to release, improves flexibility, and gives a light traction effect through the SI joint to take off pressure and restore smoother hip and low back motion. Test out the other three variations shown in this video and see which variations feels best for you.

Are you choosing a progression method based on comfort or based on progressive exposure? When rehabbing athletes, you have a few progression methods to choose from: 1. Speed 2. Resistance 3. Depth of ROM 4. Base of support Base of support is the one progression method we feel comfortable with coming out of school. Ankle got stronger? Put ‘em on foam. Single leg squat is too easy? Put ‘em on foam. Spend your time on what you believe has the most crossover to sport. If that’s foam, I’m not here to argue with you all day. But I invite you to play more with the other progression dials and see what happens. — Want to learn more about how I return athletes to sport?
