The ability to grip the ground on an ever changing surface.
Provider of much needed balance and stability.

Common causes of injuries for the endurance athlete~

The endurance athlete usually walks through the door here with very similar symptoms to the previous athlete. Needless to say all cases are unique but often we find trends that present in a similar fashion.

The first questions that we as practitioners will ask is “Has there been any change to your current training routine?”

The common answers conclude in
- Too far too soon
- Too fast too early
- Too much with insufficient recovery
- Recent change in equipment (eg. Shoes, bike, etc)

By coupling a short rest period with small adjustments to load, pace, distance, etc we can ensure the athlete is back at training as early as possible.

When dealing with a triathlete for example we can usually maintain the state of fitness by focusing on the other disciplines will we encourage healing for the provocative discipline.

Increased range = Increased strength

The shoulder is a highly mobile joint that is designed to perform multiplanar actions.
More often than not we find this joint to be locked up because of capsular tightness, restricted from muscle imbalances pulling the joint into inhibited positions, weak because of dysfunctional movement patterns and a general loss of stability.

Gaining range allows the unlocking the full potential of muscle strength by achieving optimal muscle length. It creates a better pain free movement pattern and allows those muscles to achieve their particular roles.

Is Range of motion limiting your gains??
