Return to sport/activity is a different type of therapy then just treating someone to get them out of pain!
Traditional outpatient insurance based physical therapy a lot of the time is limited to only helping return to living with less pain not necessarily performing better

It can be the most frustrating thing ever when youâve done 8 weeks of physical therapy and still canât return back to the gym because all youâve done for 8 weeks is stretching, mobility and core work on a table
Donât get me wrong these are important and good place to start but you have to progress beyond this if your goals are truly to return back to activity
đšStay tuned for tomorrowâs post where Iâm going over a few different moves I would use to help a client return back to squatting or lifting weights in the gym after an episode of low back painđš

Bottoms up kettle press are one of my favorite accessory movements to perform for improving overall shoulder health and improving push compounds like bench press and shoulder press
This is a great movement because it helps to improve shoulder stability which is required for performing both the barbell bench press and shoulder press movements
But this is also a great exercises because it gets the lats, abs and glutes involved as well to help keep the weight stable as you perform the pressing movement
When performing this movement you may need to use a lighter weight due to the increased stability requirement making this movement slightly more difficult

Is having an âexcessiveâ anterior pelvic tilt something you should be concerned about đ€
Not at all! In fact, research doesnât suggest at all that there is an association or even correlation between having an anterior pelvic tilt and having SI, low back or hip pain
There IS however a correlation between low back pain and lack of awareness or proprioception in the hips/pelvis
What this means is that people with low back pain often times lack the ability to control movement through their pelvis and know where their pelvis is in space in relationship to the rest of their body
So what can we do to address this?
Sensorimotor training (aka working on that ability to connect the brain with the body with emphasis on postural and positional control) is a great way to address lack of coordination or proprioception in the hips/low back/pelvis
Some exercises that can help with developing coordination and activation of the core muscles that help to control the hips/pelvis and low back are:
đčPerforming pelvic tilts in all directions sitting in chair of physioball
đčSegmented cat camel stretch
đčSpinal waves
Do you do sensorimotor training on a regular basis? What questions do you have about anterior pelvic tilts? Drop them in the comments below! âŹïž
