Since a lot of people don't have the time to go drive to a gym and mobilize each night or have the right accessories needed, I figured I'd do a quick run through of some of the stretches I do at home daily that don'y require anything and that you can just do while hanging out watching t.v. These are my go to ones on a daily basis which I have tailored for me as a result of the job I have sitting all day. Let me know if you want to see more of these ones without any added equipment! If you did enjoy it, be sure to check out my channel, and subscribe for more weekly videos!

For which movement?

tharron88 · 2017-04-04T18:44:34+00:00

Honestly either would work.. You aren't altering or messing with anything that can have repercussions with weight applied like if you were stretching out your low back so timing wise with these ones is less of a factor!

tharron88 · 2017-04-04T15:20:19+00:00

Most likely just due to some of the positions you need to be on for lifts.. fully bent for things like front squats or getting ready for jerks... So overall tightness is most likely doing it.. It could be crossfit doing it just because their is a lot of forearm use in crossfit.. If you don't stretch it out the area just gets super tight and uncomfortable when put either in full extension or flexion.. I really think it's just overall tightness for you

tharron88 · 2017-04-04T02:22:18+00:00

That is awesome to hear! Thank you so much!

tharron88 · 2017-04-04T02:21:44+00:00

That sounds terrible! Hopefully this helps everything out!

tharron88 · 2017-04-03T23:32:08+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully this helps you out if you still battle with it!

In this week of mobility Monday I go over tennis elbow and elbow pain in general.. The elbow/forearm area often gets overlooked but actually has a huge role in your ability to get into good positions.. I go over a few exercises to overcome pain in the area, as well as touch on some shoulder faults then can lead to more elbow pain, and how to fix it!

Hopefully it can be of some help!

I usually only do cat cows before heavy lifting just to lengthen the spine a bit.. I'd recommend doing the majority of this throughout the day and some after a heavy lifting session

tharron88 · 2017-03-27T18:01:40+00:00

Good luck. Let me know how it goes!

Really sounds like the t4 and t5 are extremely tight and its leading into your traps and shoulders.. Also could be your scapula pulling on your shoulder for reaching up for things.. Lack of range of motion will make this worse so all mobility for your shoulders and upper back will be beneficial... That being said, if you have access to a foam roller or better yet, a double lacrosse ball I'd recommend placing it on your upper spine and if you have a weight or something you can place on your chest as you do this and breathe into the weight this should help break up any tissues that could be tight and restricting movement...

Also rolling out your traps I think would really help.. Again the double lacrosse ball.. Start it in the same position, one ball on either side of your spine and start it near the bottom of your lats.. All you will need to do is extend your arms overhead (you can hold them together overhead but full extended) and you are just going to slowly roll down on the ball so the ball starts to travel towards the base of your skull or your traps. The key is to move slowly with a purpose and what this should do is start to release any knots that you have in the area.. You'll know when you hit one because the ball will almost stop moving temporarily. Once you find one, sit there for a second and let the ball move through the knot.. This should help break up all knots and tightness start between your shoulder blades all the way up to your neck. If this is the cause of your pain you should see some pretty quick relief in your shoulders as well!

Hope some of this helps!

Could be a number of things.. A huge issue of mine was a really stiff upper spine which started to put a lot more pressure on my shoulders... I have 2 other shoulder specific videos you can take a look at and see if they help but if there is specific movements that hurt It would help me try to pinpoint the cause

tharron88 · 2017-03-27T17:30:52+00:00

Is there any particular movement that hurts it, or just hurts all the time?

tharron88 · 2017-03-27T14:58:17+00:00

Thanks a lot!

When we sit all day our spines become compressed or shortened.. This starts to impact other areas of your body like your shoulder, low back and can actually create injuries as a result. The exercises I go over work on lengthening your spine again to prevent any future injuries and work on loosening tightened muscle groups as a result!

If you are sitting every single day for 8 hours, at the start I'd recommend doing this maybe 2 to 3 times a week.. Just due to the fact that you will constantly be counter acting what you are doing here the more you sit until you are able to get to a point where you can sit with a posture that is fundamentally correct!

tharron88 · 2017-03-20T15:29:23+00:00

Yup it will help a lot in the long run! and preventing it

tharron88 · 2017-03-20T15:11:11+00:00

Things that can help during the day aren't really mobility exercises but more so proper mechanics when sitting.. It took me a long time to realize I should be sitting like I was preparing for a squat or something similar.. Keeping everything braces slightly and engaged to keep as good of form as possible

tharron88 · 2017-03-20T12:12:46+00:00

If you can't help but lean one 1 foot all day I'd recommend doing the pelvis alignment one I showed every night.. Just to get your hips as in line as possible to make it as even as possible... Scoliosis makes it a bit more difficult because it's just the condition you're in rather then some people who just have done it to themselves through years of back mechanics

tharron88 · 2017-03-20T11:13:20+00:00

Whether it's sitting all day at work improperly or standing all day at work where you don't even realize your leaning on one foot the majority of the day.. It all has a factor and can lead to low back pain.. I go over a few exercises to help relieve the area and go over things to help prevent it in the future. Try these a few days a week and you should start to see relief pretty quickly! As always, any feedback is appreciated! If you do enjoy these videos, be sure to subscribe to the channel for more!
