Your knee has to rotate. If it doesn’t, you’ll keep dealing with: ⚠️ Pain going up/down stairs ⚠️ Tightness or stiffness around the kneecap ⚠️ Clicking or popping during squats or lunges ⚠️ That “weird” feeling like something’s off but you can’t fix it Most people forget: the tibia (shin bone) is supposed to rotate at the knee joint. If that motion is locked up, your whole lower body pays for it. Try this exercise 👇 ✅ No resistance to start 🔁 Do it in both directions 🦶 Keep your foot flexed — this isn’t ankle work 💥 You’re unlocking knee rotation by training the tibia — Want more guidance? 💬 DM us "knee" and we’ll send you our step-by-step series: → Simple drills for rotation → Stretches + massage to loosen tight tissue → Strength progressions for long-term relief #kneepain #kneemobility #tibialrotation #runnerknee #patellarpain #kneerehab #jointhealth #movementtherapy #kneestability #whealth #knee #knees
🚨 Snapping Hip? Hip Pain? 🚨 Message us "Hip" and we’ll send you our FREE 5-Day Hip Pain-Relief Seriespacked with expert exercises to improve mobility, reduce pain, and fix your hip issues! 🔹 Is Your Hip Popping or Clicking? 🔹 Are those hip pops and clicks a sign of serious damage? Are you wearing down your joints? In most cases, snapping hip syndrome or joint clicking isn’t dangerous—but if it’s painful, you need to take action. ✅ What Causes Hip Clicking & Snapping? * Tendons/muscles sliding over bone or other tissues * Air bubbles releasing (like cracking your knuckles) * Weakness in hip muscles leading to instability * Tight hip flexors (TFL, rectus femoris) * 💪 How to Fix Snapping Hip & Hip Clicking 💪 If your hip pops or clicks, strengthening and improving hip mobility and stability can significantly reduce these noises. Strengthening internal rotation often helps eliminate clicking, as weak muscles fail to control joint movement. ⚠️ When to Worry About Hip Clicking ⚠️ * If the popping/clicking is painful, it could indicate inflammation, a labral tear, or a bone spur. * Avoid movements that cause pain during or after exercise but focus on strengthening pain-free ranges of motion.

These “best ____ videos” are usually clickbait, but these 3 moves are definitely incredible for getting your glutes fired up. Message us “Hip” if you need some more basic hip-strengthening movements. Or hit the LINKing in our BIOgraphy. The first glute-biased hip hinge is an incredibly subtle exercise. Just by hinging forward so that your weight is in your toes, you will find that your glutes will light up way more than you are used to - without even using any weight. The hip thrust is classic. If you can’t do it on a bench, do it on the ground. Don’t have a barbell? Do it with a dumbbell on your pelvis. Too easy? Do it single-leg. The last move is a lunge with a hinge. To destroy your glutes even more, rotate your pelvis toward the front leg. As always, there are thousands of exercises out there. Some may be better for you than others. Just because we think these 3 are solid doesn’t mean they will be great for you. Keep exploring and having fun exercising. ————————————————————— 🔥Interested in overcoming your chronic pain for good?

🎨 The Anatomy of the Back & Shoulder—Painted on the Human Body : A Visual Guide to Muscles in Motion In this video, we bring anatomy to life—literally. Using custom body-painted art by a talented local artist, we teach the functional anatomy of the back and shoulder in a way you’ve never seen before. This is more than just anatomy—it’s art, movement, and education combined. We cover 7 essential muscles that play a crucial role in posture, movement, and pain management: 🟠 Teres Minor Action: Lateral rotation and stabilization of the humerus at the shoulder joint Location: Part of the rotator cuff, running from the lateral scapula to the humerus 🟡 Infraspinatus Action: External rotation of the shoulder; stabilizes the glenohumeral joint Location: Occupies the infraspinous fossa of the scapula and attaches to the humerus 🔵 Deltoid Action: Shoulder abduction, flexion (anterior fibers), and extension (posterior fibers) Location: Covers the shoulder joint; attaches from the clavicle, acromion, and scapular spine to the humerus 🟢 Latissimus Dorsi Action: Extension, adduction, and medial rotation of the arm Location: Large, fan-shaped muscle covering the lower back and inserting into the humerus 🟣 Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Action: Lateral flexion of the spine, elevation of the pelvis, stabilizes the lumbar spine Location: Runs from the iliac crest to the 12th rib and lumbar vertebrae 🔴 Erector Spinae (Group) Action: Extension and lateral flexion of the spine; key for posture and spinal control Location: A group of muscles (iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis) running vertically along the back ⚫ Semispinalis Capitis Action: Extends and rotates the head Location: Deep muscle in the upper back and neck, spanning from the cervical and thoracic vertebrae to the occiput ✨ Whether you're a movement therapist, student, trainer, or someone healing from pain—this video offers a visual, memorable, and practical way to understand the muscles that move and stabilize your back and shoulder. 🔔 Follow for more content blending science, movement, and art! 📲 Share this with anyone who learns best by seeing the body in motion.
