Recovering to get back to Line Dancing đ¤
.
.
.
This patient has been recovering from meniscus and hip labral surgery and she has been working me and @dr.cclawson to get back to line dancing, running and working out.
.
.
.
We have been working on deep knee flexion positions, knee hip stability with various balance conditions and today I challenged her with lateral lunge sequence including prep for side tilts and hip abduction loading with sliders. Today we used the blaze pods to practice changing directions with a 360 turn to practice quick spins for when sheâs line dancing the night away!
.

.
We have also talked about dosage and taking rest days as needed when her hip and knee are extra sore. She did awesome all with a small on her face! Congrats @themadeleinequinn we are so proud of you!â¨

PT FOR BROADWAY đâ¨
.
.
.
Come spend the day with me working backstage for @spamalotbway at the Pantages in LA! I typically see 4â6 patients a few hours before the show, where we troubleshoot through triage, soft tissue work, and exercise prescriptions to help the cast and crew feel their best for multiple shows a day.
@neurotour provides all the equipment and partners me with @moti_pt@sugarfoot_therapy
Strong mamas, supportive community, and so much knowledge in one space. đ
We loved spending Sunday morning moving together and diving into all things prenatal + postpartum pelvic floor health with our friends at @moti_pt . From bump to baby and beyond, youâre never in this alone. đ¤
Canât wait to do it again soon! â¨

Tuesday Tips for Dancers with Caroline đđťâ¨
Part 1: Neck Cool Down for Hair Whips + Hair-ography
After a heels or hip hop class, your neck can get sore from doing a lot of work! This 5â10 minute cool down helps release tension after dancing!
â¨Routine (move slow + breathe):â¨
⢠â 5 reps Diaphragmatic Breathing
⢠â 5 Half Circles side to side
⢠â 5 breaths Upper Trap Stretch
⢠â 5 breaths Levator Scapulae Stretch
⢠â 5 breaths Scalenes Stretch
⢠â 5 breaths Chin to Chest Stretch
⢠â 5 breaths Seated Twist Stretch
⢠â 5 Cat Cows
⢠â 5 Thread the Needles
Tips for the stretches:
⨠Use your opposite hand to gently guide your head into the stretch
⨠Move slow and controlled â no forcing range
⨠Keep shoulders relaxed and heavy
Your neck supports so much in dance, so giving it a short reset after class can go a long way.
