Climbing is one of the most (fun) ctional sports I&;ve encountered with movements that require good body awareness, strength and mobility. Finally a climbing vid.. So can I officially call myself a climber? posted on October 25, 2016 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments by
Hip 9090 active version. Try and hold for a few seconds longer. I was a bit rushed. @3dwinchang markham toronto mobility posted on October 14, 2016 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments by
The Hip 90/90. A hip mobility exercise you can easily incorporate into your life. For the next 20 days try and spend 2 minutes in this position. Slowly bring your chest towards your knee while keeping your shoulders squared. You can make it more tough and drop your elbow towards the floor equally. This stretch can be done statically or actively for 10 reps, holding each rep for 3 seconds. To do this actively, slowly lift the knee on one side and try to point it into the opposite direction. I&;ll post a video next! markham toronto mobility posted on October 12, 2016 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments by

Some of you have trouble getting down with your heels on the floor into your deep squat. One of your limitations may be at your ankle. If you lack mobility at the ankle, the limitations of the movement affect the joints above it changing your motion.This weighted ankle mobility drill I use helps me clear some of my ankle restrictions. First I get a heavy weight and place it onto my knee and shift forward while trying to keep my heel flat on the floor. Try and hold this for ~90s or so, and as your ankle begins to loosen up start to methodically shift forward further to add more motion through the joint. Try the deep flat footed squat then this mobility drill and test it again and enjoy your mobility! markham toronto everydamnday posted on August 11, 2016 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments by

Taking a break from your day of sitting at a desk, your weary day of travels in search of pokemon, or worse, sitting around and farming pokemon and pop a PokeSquat:Keep your feet FLAT – heels on the ground, don&;t let it lift up! align your knees over your feet, lower yourself slowly and rest your arms on your knees. Spend 10 minutes in this position and give your body a break by:1) reducing spinal compression – reduce low back discomfort2) Increasing hip mobility3) Increasing knee mobility4) Increasing ankle mobility5) Helps you go trouble getting into this position? Can&;t hold it long? Practice practice practice – it will improve over time. If this movement seems ridiculously hard – Congrats! You have a mobility issue. Finding a problem is the start. Let&;s get to work. posted on July 27, 2016 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments by
The Couch Stretch.For all you desk ninjas who spend their entire day sitting at a desk with your hips in flexion, undo the bad posture spending 2 minutes on each side. You&;ll feel a pull from the front of your hips all the way down your thigh to the top of your knee. Get comfortable slowly shifting forward and backward, even side to side to work your problem spots and spend a bit more time with them. To make this stretch harder try squeezing your glutes to try and shift your hip forward.I challenge you to 20 days of the couch stretch. Get a pic taken and tag me in it, spend 2 mins a day on each side and tell me which side is worse for you (one is always worse!) In 20 days – get another picture taken and enjoy your progress! markham toronto posted on July 26, 2016 by Dr. Jonathan Leung | No comments by
