Stop guessing where rehab ends and performance begins
As a thank you for being part of this community, I wanted to give you priority access to our next live event: If you’ve ever felt like there’s a 'missing link' between getting a client out of pain and getting them back to high-level performance, this is for you. We're running a 2-day in-person workshop in London on June 25–26: The Hybrid Clinician. I'm co-hosting again with @Natasha Osgood (TTS mentee, chiropractor, athlete, and very good egg), so you’ll learn how to navigate the whole injury journey. We will cover: 🔍 Best Bang-for-buck assessments: focus on the ones that have the most impact 👷 Findings to Fixes: Turn assessment results directly into a specific exercise prescription 📋 Programming: no more generic PDFs, design your client's plan to be exactly what they need to get better 🧘 Self-Help: You’ll get assessed yourself and leave with a plan to fix your own limitations so you can truly embody the work. We're giving this community first access before we launch it publicly. Super Early Bird: £397 (£200 off!) - Only 5 spots with code SUPEREB Early Bird: £497 (£100 off) - Code EARLYBIRD Details and booking: https://go.thetrainingstimulus.com/workshopjune If you have any questions about the curriculum or if this is right for your specific background, drop a comment below, and Tash or I will jump in!

@Ashley Grossmann haha you're right, it's a world renowned thing. I'm just a little hesitant because last time I was in London i got sececond degree burns from the sun. 😄
Javelin Pec Press
Hey guys! I'm currently training for a one arm pullup. And I've realized I have many upper body limitations especially in my t-spine (left rotation) I recently got some left shoulder impingement. It's nothing severe but will become bad if not addressed. I've had notoriously tight lats. And since my dips were always sexy haha and bench press was decent (120kg for 6 reps) I never really addressed my pecs. Holy fucking crap are they tight and shitty. I am doing this exercise from the Skool exercise library that Ash posted. It's really a killer! This is my first attempt at it. Feel free to criticize the hell out of it. The range of motion is not comedy I'm actually really trying here lol. I think lengthening my pecs like this will help tremendously with my shoulder impingement and contribute to achieving the one arm pullup. Anyone have any experience with this? Let me know what you guys think! All the best, David

T spine limitations and opposite shoulder instability
Hey guys! I've noticed a pattern with clients who have limited t spine mobility. I usually find people that have limitations with t spine rotation and lateral flexion to one side are usually weaker and less stable on the opposite shoulder. For example, t spine limitations to the right, less stable shoulder on the left. Has anyone else noticed this pattern? I was wondering why this occurred and what might be the compromise of that unstable shoulder. Thoughts?

@Ashley Grossmann makes sense Ash! This is interesting it's reminding me of the cross body compensation with the relationship between the adductor and opposite hip abductors. One could be compensating for the other. I've realized how locked up my tspine is thanks to your mentorship lol.
TRX pushup with rotation
Hey guys! Hope all is well. I have been trying to find exercises to find length in the pec muscles, especially for my shoulder clients I see learning to load the pec is extremely important. Before I prescribe it, I tried it for myself to see how it goes. First of all it's super difficult. Second of all I felt like my execution was off when I was doing the right side. I don't think I felt loading through my right pec during the exercise. I have a limitation in left t spine rotation maybe that can be why... What are your thoughts on execution. Or any other exercise/exercises would you recommend for loading the pec nicely! Thanks

@Ashley Grossmann thanks Ash will try this! How can you tell i was not getting horizontal abduction. I see it on the left side not much on the right. Maybe I'm missing something... Will make the changes!

Hey Roxanne! Sorry you're going through such a tough time with that QL. It can be stubborn and annoying. I personally don't know a "good" posture that would help unless the posture is extremely off. I think one of your keys here is to improve your hip mechanics. Hip internal rotation deficits can lead to overloading the back. What i also found common in QL clients is limitation in hip Adduction and well as t-spine lateral flexion. For now the best way to improve hip IR is to get good at hinging in mid stance to open up the posterior hip capsule. And get some kind of lateral lunge to shift you into adduction. Overall it's a good idea to get good at all hip movements for a healthylower back. Take care!
