Pen-y-Bont Aikido Club Bridgend

The Clamshell is one of the most recommended exercises in the rehab world! The tricky thing is that Clamshells only covers one function of the hips (Abduction) and works the Glute Medius, which is supposed to improve your hip stability... The problem is though, hips have 6 main functions so if you aren’t working on them all you’re only doing a fraction of the work! Always think of your joints from all angles, don’t blame individual muscles and especially don’t just use one exercise to try and fix things 💪💪 #hippain #backpain #tighthips #clamshells

Progressively loaded corework, there’s a certain point that bodyweight exercises don’t do enough. This is why I love the single arm single leg press drill 🙌 scaleable to any level and forces your entire body to have to work together #core #corestrength #sijointdysfunction #backpain #coreactivation

Knees giving you trouble? Add these awesome exercises to your overall training 🙌
