Step by Step

  1. This exercise works your back, Glutes, Hamstrings and core
  2. Like any exercise this should be pain free or shouldn’t increase existing pain levels, during, after and the next day.
  3. It is normal to feel some delayed onset muscle soreness between 48-72 hours but this should be manageable
  4. Set the bar in a squat rack to just under your shoulder height
  5. Get yourself under the bar and rest the bar onto the upper trapezius
  6. Hold the bar either side of you with your hands so that your elbows are flared out. Keep your back straight and your shoulder blades squeezed together.
  7. The width of your feet should be between hip and shoulder width and the toes should be in a relaxed forward position.
  8. Next take a breath in and unrack the bar by straightening your legs
  9. Next carefully walk the bar out forwards
  10. Take a few normal breaths at the top.
  11. This is the starting position for the exercise
  12. Next you need to slightly bend your knees and hip hinge, which is when you bend at the hip joint and send your hip backwards, creating a lean forwards in your upper body. However your back should remain straight throughout.
  13. Once you feel a limit to your depth, which is usually hamstring length then return to the vertical position and then repeat.
  14. Once finished then carefully walk the bar back and re-rack the bar
  15. For strengthening you should perform 6-10 reps to fatigue
  16. You should perform 3-5 sets with 3 minutes rests
  17. This session can be done 2-3 times per week
  18. For endurance you should perform 15-25 reps to fatigue
  19. You should perform 3-5 sets with no more than 30 second rests
  20. This session can be done 2-3 times per week

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
