Forefront Physical Therapy

Want to improve your shoulder control, stability, and upper body strength all at once? 👀

Try the scapular push up.

It might look like a small movement, but it teaches your shoulder blades how to move properly while your arms stay straight. Instead of bending through the elbows, the focus is on controlled movement through the shoulder blades.

A lot of people shrug, wing, or lose control around the shoulders without realizing it. This exercise helps improve awareness, control, and strength around the muscles that support healthy shoulder movement.

You’ll feel your upper back, serratus, core, and shoulders all working together to keep everything stable.

Great as part of a warm up, upper body training, or even shoulder rehab work when done properly.

Save this and give it a try on your next workout. 💪

Do your hips feel tight even when you’re working on mobility? 👀

This plank variation with 3D arm swings helps your hip flexors learn how to stabilize while the rest of your body moves.

Instead of only stretching the hips, this challenges your core, hips, and shoulders to work together through different directions and ranges of motion.

It’s a great drill for building hip stability, core control, better coordination, and stronger overall movement patterns.

Want to work on balance, control, and hip strength all at once? 👀

Try the toe touch RDL.

It looks simple, but it really challenges how well you can control your body on one leg. Most of your weight stays on the front leg while the back foot helps with light support.

The focus is keeping your hips square, your knee tracking well, and moving through a clean hip hinge without twisting or losing balance.

You’ll feel your glutes, your core, and even your foot working to keep everything steady.

Great for building single-leg strength that actually carries over to real life.

Save this and try it on your next lower body day 💪

Because not every part of training is fun… but the results are always worth it 👀
