📢 ATTENTION FOOTBALL PLAYERS 📢
Struggling with recovery between training sessions and pre season friendlies?
Most clubs are now well under way with their pre season schedule...
Having been inactive for a period of time following the end of the previous season, it can take some time for our bodies to adapt to the demands of the intense sessions our coaches put us through 🥵
Picking up aches and pains can be very frustrating and ultimately delays progress towards the start the football season 👎
Sports massage therapy (in combination with adequate sleep, nutrition, hydration etc) is one strategy you can put in place to help facilitate your recovery between sessions and games 💆
Give your body the support it needs and ensure you can make as much progress as possible during pre season.

Struggling to engage the glutes when performing a trap bar deadlift? 🤔🏋
- Here's a simple strategy I have applied to my own training as I have had issues with relying to heavily on my lower back to complete hip/hinge movements like the the trap bar deadlift!
- I have also had issues with my knees caving in (knee valgus) during these types of lifts, as well as back squats
- This indicates that I struggle with glute engagement and no doubt have some weakness in this area 👎
How does the resistance band help?
- Given that the glutes are key external rotators of the hip, the band activates this muscle group by inducing internal rotation🦵
- The glutes become activated to resist excessive internal rotation and ultimately limit collapsing of the knee!
- This is especially useful in preventing the muscles of the lower back from being overworked, thereby protecting the spine from injury during these types of lifts
Note: this can be applied to other movements where knee valgus is common e.g. front and back squat 👊
