'Open-hip knee-kiss' & Elevated 'Toe-rocking'
PRE-/REHAB: Feet, ankles, knees & hips
•
1m 53s
THE WHAT:
Here the concept of an 'open-hip' (i.e. hip-extension) initiated from the squat position is explored in both unilateral ('Knee-kiss') and bilateral ('Toe-rock') contexts. From a capacity-development perspective, the toes are exposed to loading in their maximally extended position, and with an effort to maximally extend the hip-angle the quadriceps & hip-flexor complex (also affecting the 'QL'/lumbar-spine) are stretched to maximal-length under the load of bodyweight, ang returned again. This makes practice initially valuable for ongoing prehabilitation & mobility-development, following on directly from those former contexts.

'Low-gait' Squat (LGS) development
THE WHAT:
'Low-gait': the bipedal world between standing and floor-entrance. These drills focus on the "deepest" range from which floor-entrance is most accessible - if the experience and mobility capacities are available. Whilst consistent practice of these drills will help DEVELOP those ranges,... -
The 'Petersen step-up'
THE WHAT:
An isolated context for both prehabilitation (so shit doesn't happen) and rehabilitation (when shit has happened) of the knees. Whilst the range of motion is notably very small, the practitioner will immediately notice the challenge to balance, which is entirely desirable to providing a... -
'Proofing' of the Ankles & Knees
THE WHAT:
Working here with the concept of 'mapping' the feet against the ground with initiation points coming from either the knees, or the feet themselves. Both perspectives, and graduations between them, should be explored. The "side-effect" of this exploration includes a low-intensity, prehab...
