Sports Therapy with Ami

MONDAY MOBILITY
Mobility made easy.

Mobility: what is it?
Mobility is having active control and full range of motion of joints.

Today we’re talking about hip mobility and why it’s important.

• Having better daily movement, being able to stand up/ bend down/ get in and out a car etc all these general daily movements can be made more comfortable.

• Lower back protection: Prevents your lower back and knees over compensating for stiff hips which helps reduce chronic or acute lower back pain.

• Injury prevention: Prevention is better than cure as they say and working in regular mobility lowers the risk of things such as hip impingement/ IT band syndrome/ patellofemoral pain (runners knee or pain behind the kneecap).

• Better athletic performance: better hip mobility can increase your stride length, power output, speed & agility.

I often get asked why I do what I do and why I enjoy it.

I do what I do because I love helping people move well and to the best of their ability.
My passion is moving & performing well, this is the passion that I want to move through my career with.

It’s important to remember that this looks different for everyone, performance athletes to gym goers to elderly to people that don’t train at all!

This is why what you get from a session can look different from someone else. Sometimes it is just purely soft tissue work and sometimes we work on plans to help future you move 💃🏼

I do of course, want you to feel better but I want to help you build a body that’s capable of more.

Targeted therapy for active living.

Pain can be the starting point but it shouldn’t be the finish line 🏁

Pre-fight — what are we doing treatment-wise? 🥊

We’re not looking to do anything too intense or different to a fighter that they need to recover from. Fight week is about keeping them feeling fresh, mobile and ready to perform. There is dehydration, stress to the body and the central nervous system is already working hard.

That being said… fighters can still take a bit more pressure 😂

We are focusing on getting blood flowing through the soft tissue and working through range of motion in the shoulders, glutes and hips.

The goal isn’t to completely switch the body off either — we don’t want them leaving too relaxed when their nervous system still needs to be switched on and ready to perform.

At this stage we’re not trying to “fix” everything either or make huge changes — the hard work has already been done in camp. We’re just maintaining good movement, addressing any areas that are feeling particularly tight and helping them in fight week to feel ready to perform.

Fresh. Mobile. Ready to fight. 🥊

What are you picking: Sports Massage/ Deep tissue. Relaxation or lymphatic drainage? ✨
