Check out this informative post about how some of your thigh muscles function! #Repost @jdperformancetherapy with @make_repost Do you ever get pain or discomfort in the back of your hip/upper inner leg during or after a squat or lower body workout? ... : This could be caused by a variety of different things, but sometimes it's from the Adductor Magnus (see second picture). This muscle sits on the inside and back portion of the thigh. : It is grouped in with the adductor muscle group (groin muscles) BUT it actually is more like a combined adductor AND hamstring. Meaning, its’ predominant actions are hip adduction (bringing the leg towards the other leg) AND hip extension. : There are always going to be other factors involved, but a lot times it is tight and weak compared to the non-painful side. : In order to sort this out, we look for the root cause with a variety of assessment techniques, work with you to resolve it and hopefully allow you to continue training throughout! : Reach out in a DM, leave a comment or send an email if you want to know more or book an appointment! : : #YYC #Airdrie #Physiotherapy #AthleticTherapy #Massage #womenshealth #menshealth #performance #injury #athlete #health #strength #Calgary #activelifestyle #community #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #airdriesmallbusiness #calgarysmallbusiness #community #weightlifting #strongman #olympiclifting #strengthandconditioning #active #yoga : See more

Could not agree more with this post from @pelvichealthsolutions 2020 and 2021 have and continue to present some very challenging situations for everyone. How are you taking time for yourself this weekend? ... We hope you can get outside and enjoy some sunny Vitamin D #Repost @pelvichealthsolutions with @make_repost Uncertainty was a huge theme for us all last year, and it seems to be continuing into 2021... . When our future is uncertain, we can't rely on our past experiences to predict anything. . This can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety, often activating our fight-or-flight response and building up a chronic stress pattern that is damaging for our overall health. . Grounding ourselves in the present moment is a powerful way to work through uncertainty and get more comfortable with this often unsettling concept. . One of our favourite ways to accomplish this is through deep, meditative breathing and stretching.

Have you ever experienced those nights when you just can’t fall sleep? Or maybe you never feel rested after long night of sleep or you just end up tossing and turning? Having troubles with your sleep can be incredibly frustrating and negatively impact your personal, work and social interactions and relationships. Anxiety, depression and other mood disorders have been linked to poor sleeping patterns. In order to help regulate our bodies and our emotions, we need to get a bet...ter night’s sleep. A few things that can help you sleep better and more effectively are: - Improve your bedtime routine: limit screen use before bed, use your bedroom for only sleeping so your brain doesn’t get confused - Four hours prior to sleep avoid consuming caffeine, nicotine, heavy/rich foods or having a nap - Make your room welcoming and comforting while keeping it room cool and dark Improving your sleep patterns will improve overall mood, memory function and storage and give you more energy throughout the day. #YYC #Airdrie #PelvicHealth #breastfeeding #PelvicPhysiotherapy #Physiotherapy #AthleticTherapy #Massage #womenshealth #pelvicfloor #menshealth #prenatal #postnatal #athlete #health #Calgary #activelifestyle #community #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #airdriesmallbusiness #airdriemoms #airdriedads #airdriecommunity #weightlifting #active #yoga #yogacommunity
