Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Split squats on a sit fit/durband might do the trick. Or you could use a wobble board instead. Start off with what he is capable of doing. It may be only a few half reps. But the idea is to consistently try to get better at performing them. This should help.

Talking with him and basic testing reveal he has weakness on that side (right side). It appears his glute medius is under developed on that side, weak internal rotation (tensor fascia latate and ITB?) and seems to have weak everters on the ankle (it hangs slightly in inversion). He has been declared fine by a physio and has been training on his own for a few years since his injury with no real problems. Does anyone have any ideas which exercises should be done to correct these imbalances? Guy Razy Montreal, Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Try doing stationary lunges following the face of a clock. Right leg lunges to 3 o'clock, then to 2 o'clock and so forth till you get to 9o'clock. Repeat with other leg. 3 to 5 sets.

Dynamic warm-ups for the hips pre workout. Strength training should be focusing on the glutes, hamstrings and vastus medialis with unilateral and then bilateral compound movements. Isolate then integrate. Myofascial stretching of the hips, glutes and psoas post workout. You can also have him checked out and stripped by an active release specialist in our area to make sure that all that tightness in his hips does not create further lower back problems.3 sessions should do the trick. Chances are that his other side is not firing correctly either. Terry Mavroudis Montreal Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
