Basic Pre-Habilitative Series

Basic Pre-Habilitative Exercises

These are exercises that are aimed at increasing mobility/stability of key joints in the body that typically become tight/lax or asymmetrical due to poor posture, overuse, and malalignment.  Poor posture and asymmetry in the body can hinder an athlete's ability to excel in a given sport and may predispose an athlete to injury.

Undergoing a Functional Movement Screen (FMS) or another assessment protocol will help to identify possible asymmetries and faulty movement patterns that may increase the likelihood of injury.  However, not everyone has access to these screening protocols, but in lieu of being screened, these are some general exercises that will address the key joints in the body and hopefully get you moving better.
