The 'Petersen step-up'
PRE-/REHAB: Feet, ankles, knees & hips
•
3m 32s
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 an effective stimulus for recovery, as well as physiological development.
It is, however, not only physiological - neuro-muscular development is also at play here with a detailed "mapping" of this isolated range of end-range knee-extension taking place in the process.

'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... -
The 'Harop Curl'
THE WHAT:
The 'Harop curl' is a posterior-chain strength & conditioning tool whose intensity can be easily manipulated by "mechanical advantage" (i.e. sequence of "hinging" in hips & knees).Due to positioning, the posterior-chain (namely hamstrings, glutes & lower-back) experiences an increasin...

Kneeling hip-flexor release
THE WHAT:
A supported contract/relax context for "releasing" available range in the hip-flexor-complex (i.e. maximally "opening" the hip). It's primary use-value is as a preparatory tool to establish what the nervous system will "allow" at that time, from which point more potent tools (namely tho...
