Elbow Pain and Instability

What your bent elbows really mean: Elbow Pain and Instability

“Today’s mission is to explore the relationship of “bent elbows” and  shoulder instability.  When athletes are working overhead and missing full range, they will often bend their elbows in an attempt to buy their shoulders some capsular/positional slack.  The additional shoulder range created by bending the elbow and by extension, internally rotating the shoulder joint allows for full physiological shoulder flexion.  However, shoulder stability is sacrificed in the process and the joint is rendered unstable and the shoulder girdle musculature  positionally inhibited (not to mention the poor, poor, innocent elbow that is essentially gunned down in the crossfire of your meat headedness….)  As a coach, this cue is easy to spot, and it means pretty much one thing: missing full, stable  shoulder flexion.  Oh, and don’t hit your head on the rack if you can help it.” – Kelly Starrett

Episode 293: Travel Ideas and Your Feet

Today’s Mission:
“Collect a solid 10 minutes working on your feet.  Try that mid-foot mob and see if it doesn’t clean up your foot position in the squat or change the way your feet feel when you run.  Your feet should be like the leopard’s paw…” – Kelly Starrett

Navicular Bone Drops

Episode 7: Bro, Your Navicular Bone Dropped

If your knees collapse inward, your feet turn out and you pronate, or your navicular bone drops, this Mobility WOD is for you! … Lisa

“We have a special guest today, Raphael Ruiz, from 1441SC.COM. Raphael is in town coaching sprint mechanics and improved athleticism to some some very lucky kids. So we’re clear, in case you happen to be in Tampa and want to destroy the NFL combine, Raph is your guy.

Coach Raphael has a great trick for spotting a great bio-marker for potential ACL injury, the Navicular Drop. (Homework: Wiki your feet on the web and see if you can spot your own navicular bones.) Remember that nothing happens in your body out of the context of human movement. We are going to revisit the valgus athletic knee again. When your coach cues you to get your knees out, not only is this a stronger position in which to generate power, but it will protect your precious ACL’s. (Homework 2: Where is your ACL? Can your hamstrings act as a second ACL?)
The key: We can change poor mechanics. Don’t blame the Q angle or trochlear notch depth! Blame the crappy squat. Change those mechanics!” – Kelly Starrett
Test: Deadlift set up position, Active bottom position in the squat;
Mob: Try and stick the head of your femur out your bottom.
Re-test: Deadlift and Squat Positions- Did anything change?
