What to expect: 

1. A review of current & past injuries; as well as your training history/

2. Physical Performance Tests to assess your current flexibility & strength.

3. Video gait analysis  

4. A structured plan to take with you outlining the key takeaways to work on to make you a stronger runner.

Bulgarian split squats are a great exercise as it Bulgarian split squats are a great exercise as it targets multiple muscle groups like the hamstring, glute and quad while also working balance. It is a favorite amoungst trainers because it allows you to really load and isolate the quad. In a rehab setting, it is a very effective advanced exercise for patellafemoral joint or patella tendon issues. 

Most common error we see with the exercise is too much extension through the lower back. The exercise requires enough hip extension to get into the proper position before you can do the exercise correctly. Without proper hip extension the individual will compensate and extend through the lower back causing a lot of load through the joints of the back and potentially lead to lower back pain.

This video looks at a modification to help prevent that poor positioning and still get the benefits of the exercise.

Tennis elbow can be a stubborn issue to resolve. W Tennis elbow can be a stubborn issue to resolve. We often need to look at other areas of the body that may be hindering full recovery. 

Posture and shoulder positioning have a direct effect on the elbow and should be considered when your tennis elbow is not resolving despite all the elbow exercises you have been working on.
