Personal Trainers Houston, Injury Rehabilitation and/or Prehabilitation

Injury rehabilitation/prehabilitation is very important and can be assisted by Personal Trainers Houston. Sometimes expensive surgeries and/or treatments can be avoided by selecting appropriate weight training exercises and incorporating soft tissue work with a foam roller. Sounds like a good option to me.

Injuries can be caused by a number of things. A lot of them are due to imbalances placed upon us through daily living. Like Eric Cressey says, "everything we do is out in front of us". What happens is all the musculature we don't see, sometimes referred to as the posterior chain, becomes weak and/or inhibited.

This strength imbalance can lead to injury. A lot of times, it's the simple stuff we don't think about that leads us down this road. Poor posture is the perfect example and affects a great deal of office workers. Something as simple as focusing on sitting up straight can have a profound effect. Obviously, some things cannot be prevented, but it's always a good idea to try and minimize it. Not to mention, having quasimoto posture isn't exactly sexy.

So what do we do to counteract the imbalances associated with daily living? We train accordingly. There are some isolation movements that can be prescribed by Personal Trainers Houston to "wake up" unused or inactive muscle groups to relieve stress in other areas. The Cook Hip lift is a great movement for "bringing the glutes back to life" and relieving the low back and knee. Rear delt flies and prone trap raises are great examples of quality isolation exercises used to fix rounded shoulders.

Myofascial release is also a high quality tool to help with this problem. Basically, this term is defined as the release of knots in the muscle tissue. Having better "tissue quality" means healthier muscle with better functional ability. This is essential in our objective to fix the problem and reduce future risk.

The biggest impact will come from Houston Personal Trainers prescribing pulling movements. In general, all training programs need to have an equal volume of pulling to pushing exercises for optimal health and performance. In our "bench press society" this seems foreign because every day is bench day, right? What's a pull anyway? Rowing or deadlift variations will do quite nicely in our quest.

At the end of the day, if we can prevent injuries rather than promote, we'll be better off. This idea is called "prehab" by many Personal Trainers Houston and offers the perfect solution to the problem. Now stop slouching, balance out your program and start using the foam roller. I know your knees, back and shoulders will thank you for it. Who knows, you may end up looking better too.
