Indepth Physio

Today mark’s Indepth’s COVID-VERSARY. 1yr ago today we put up a sign saying we were temporarily closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
It has been interesting to see this week, what day completely shifted the lives of small business owners. It is a day that none of us will ever forget. Little did we know how much would change in months to come... and now 1yr....
Shout out to all of you who had to pivot, shift, adapt, re-invent yourselves day in and day out- and perhaps continue to now- as things continue to unfold. There is light at the end of the tunnel. We have made it this far- we CAN and will keep going. We made it a year. We can do this.
So is it a “happy” anniversary- not really? But I will say I am happy to have had this past year over with but grateful in a sense of the changes it pushed me to make. Indepth would truly not be where it is today if it wasn’t for covid.
So as you reflect back on the past year, as exhausting as it might have been, was there a change for the GOOD that came about because of covid? Did it also push you to make changes in your life you wouldn’t have otherwise made? That’s what I think is worth celebrating.
So bittersweet “covid-versary” to you all. And here’s to finding those in even the most seemingly terrible circumstances.

WHAT TIME IS IT?? TIME TO GLUT RECRUIT!!
Last couple of weeks we have hopefully gotten “HIPPY” with it- not “TIPPY” with it and are starting to understand what proper hip stability should look like in standing.
This week we STEP IT UP (actually) and look at some of the muscles that are key with walking, stairs and stepping up properly. If you were TIPPING with last week’s exercises, try to master those first before attempting bigger movements as seen in this week’s video. Stair stepping and step ups are on the menu this week and yes, there’s a right and wrong way to “step up on it”!
Get out your hip level tape, and KEEP YOUR PANTS ON (again inside joke from previous videos) and STEP IT UP with this week’s exercise variation.
It’s time to GLUUUUUTT RECRRRUUUIIITT!!!

GETTIN HIPPY & SPLITTY with it this week on !
Last week we looked at how to assess our own hip alignment in simple weight transfers. This week we take it one step forward (literally!) into a SPLIT SQUAT. Split squats are a GREAT pre-requisite for working up into a single leg squat. ONE leg stability is SO challenging so this is a great way to progress your squats gradually and ensure that you are transferring your weight properly along the way. I can’t tell you HOW MANY TIMES WE NEED TO RE-TRAIN PEOPLE’S SQUAT AND LUNGE TECHNIQUE!! Hips tipping, knees falling in, pelvic twisting, arches collapsing in.... SO many things can go wrong when there’s poor core & hip control! But SO preventable if you can assess your own hip alignment in these simple home exercises.
Check out this week’s progression and see if you can get SPLITTY with it! LINK HERE —-> https://youtu.be/K2yxJDC3y_g
Enjoy!!
