This is my favorite use of a lacrosse ball to decrease shoulder pain and increase range of motion. Find the painful spot at the inside and top part of your shoulder blade with the lacrosse ball. Then begin moving your arm in different directions. This will be a little uncomfortable, but IT IS NOT meant to be NO PAIN NO GAIN. Give this a shot and comment below! @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct #injuryprevention #selfmassage #lacrosseballmassage #shoulderpain #overheadsquat #overheadpress #neckpain #neckpainrelief #neckpaintreatment #shouldermobility #mobilitytraining

Though concussion 🧠 is not an injury that can be seen, it has a HUGE effect on all aspects of someone’s life. It is important to support one another through concussion recovery 💪🏼 and advocate for proper comprehensive concussion care.

@jacquie_birdsalldpt may not look like she’s working hard here, but she’s contracting a lot of muscles very hard while controlling her breathing with a balloon. A balloon is like a @theraband for the diaphragm while diaphragmatic breathing. I use this particular @posturalrestoration movement to increase shoulder mobility and decrease pain. We added 35 degrees of shoulder range of motion with this pain free exercise. For more information DM me here or @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct #posturalrestorationinstitute #shoulderpain #shoulderpainrelief #shoulderpainexercises #crossfithealth #crossfithealthy #shouldermobility #shouldermobilityexercise #shouldermobilization #injuryprevention #injurypreventiontraining
Here are different calf raise variations to help stop calf pain while running. Stronger calves will lead to running better and preventing injury. They are not sexy, but they get the job done. Give them a try and let me know what you think! @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct #calfraises #calves #heelraises #strongercalves #crossfithealth #runningpainfree #runningpain #calves #calvesworkout

Here’s a example of a simple dry needling technique to assist with healing 2-3 days after a minor hamstring strain. This technique is incredibly safe and can be very effective in speeding up the recovery of a hamstring injury. DM for more information! @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct #dryneedling #dryneedlingtherapy #injuryprevention #hamstring #hamstringrehab #hamstringstrain #crossfithealth
Lat stretch for improving overhead mobility on this mobility Monday! This stretch is awesome for improving your overhead motion required snatches and overhead press. Give this a shot and let me know what you think! @evolutionptfit_ct @evolutionptfit #crossfithealth #overheadmobility #overheadsquat #overheadpress #overheadsquats #overheadlift #injuryprevention #shouldermobility #shouldersworkout #shouldermobilityexercise
This is my favorite mobility exercise to increase squat depth. You can use rings or hold onto a door jam for counter balance. Let me know where you feel this mobility exercise the most in the comments below! @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct #crossfithealth #squatsonsquats #squatchallenge #squatmobility #squatmotivation #squatober #squatsquatsquat #squatday #mobilitymonday #injuryprevention #injurypreventiontraining
30 minute EMOM snatch and OH squat. This was frustrating at times, but I recorded this session and I watched the improvement in my technique. I’m going to start doing more 30 minute EMOMs like this to get the strength and cardio in while working on more technical lifts. #crossfithealth #snatch #snatched #olympicweightlifting #oly #olympicweightliftingtechnique #olylifthealth #respectmovementfearnone
Mobility Monday!!!

Ankle mobility is essential for proper squat and pistol technique. If this motion isn’t perfect, it will steal away from optimal performance and put you at a risk for injury.

Mobility Monday with some stability exercises coming at you! Here is an awesome way to load the ankle and prepare your body for doing more pistols. The more mobile and stable your ankle is the better prepared you’ll be for doing high level squat movements. #mobilitytraining #mobility #mobilitymonday #mobilityexercises #mobilitywod #mobilityflow #pistolsquat #sqautsfordays #squats #crossfithealth #squatsonsquats #squatssquatssquats
Mobility Monday! Here is an awesome superset to increase your thoracic spine rotation and mobility. Use the PVC pipe or a stick to leverage the stretch and track your progress. This will help improve your optimal rotation for baseball, softball, golf and lacrosse athletes! #lacrossetraining #lacrossegirls #lacrosse #lacrosseboys #baseballmobility #baseballlife⚾️ #softballlife #softballplayer #golfswing #golflife #golftips #crossfithealth #baseball
This is a really cool way we differentiate ourselves from other physical therapy practices. Using the @boditrak @boditrakgolf force plate we can look at how someone squats and the potential compensations contributing to a lack of progression during rehab. Here, my patient is 5 weeks post knee surgery and squats to the naked eye look really good with great form. However, using the force plate we could see a 60/40 percent weight shift favoring the surgical side and thus delaying the proper loading of the knee during his squat. Catching and cuing this early can improve his outcomes with surgery and ultimately prevent injury down the road. #alwaysevolving #injuryprevention #rehab #squats #crossfithealth #squatsonsquats #squatsfordays
Mobility Monday! Here is a great mobility combo to increase wrist extension mobility for the front rack position. Front squats, power cleans and squat cleans all require this type of mobility and flexibility. Give this a shot and comment below! #crossfithealth #frontrack #frontrackmobility #frontsquat #frontsquats #wristmobility #wristmobilitywork #mobilitymonday
Thoracic spine rotation mobility is essential for sports like baseball, golf, lacrosse, etc. This area is stiff for A LOT of athletes and should be worked on as much as possible. This is a great exercise to work on both mobility and stability together. #crossfithealth #thoracicmobility #thoracicspine #midback #midbackpain #midbackmobility #rotationstrength #rotationmobility #mobilitymonday
Mobility Monday! We are working on our knees for squat depth today. Working on rotation at the knee joint in the bottom of a squat is very important. The knee’s ability to hinge plays a vital role in achieving this position effectively and pain free. If you have difficulty doing this exercise DM me! @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct #crossfithealth #squats #squatchallenge #squatsonsquats #squatssquatssquats #kneepain #kneepainrelief #injuryprevention #injurypreventiontraining #mobilitymonday #mobilitymondays
Mobility Monday! Work those hips! Hip rotation is important to improve every athletic movement. When performing this exercise imagine your hip joint is a mortar and pestle trying to scrape every end of the joint. Fight for end range of motion and check out the results! @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct @jaelitesoccer @bobbyvalentinessportsacademy #mobility #mobilitytraining #mobilitymonday #mobilitymatters #soccermobility #lacrossemobility #squatmobility #mobilityexercises #crossfithealth
Mobility Monday! Here is a quick mobility flow to help improve hip, spine and lower extremity flexibility. This can be a daily routine taking less then a minute to perform. Give this a shot and comment below! #mobility #mobilitymonday #mobilitytraining #mobilitywod #mobilitywork #mobilityexercises #crossfithealth #spinemobility #spinemobilityexercise #spinemovement
Mobility Monday! Ankle circles are often over looked because they aren’t sexy, but I’m bringing sexy back! Doing 20 of these clockwise and counterclockwise can be a game changer to your ankle mobility with squatting.

A reminder to respect movement, but never fear it. If you have a movement or activity you can’t do, we can fix it. If you’re afraid of a movement or activity causing you pain, we can fix it. If you’re looking to push your performance but you’re afraid of getting hurt, we can fix it. I hope you’re seeing the trend here. These things don’t have to be scary or anxiety provoking. We can help you achieve your goals! @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct #crossfithealth #fitnessgoals #injuryprevention #injurypreventiontraining #motionislotion #respectmovementfearnone
Second Covid vaccine update. I felt pretty shitty for about 24 hours after the vaccine. Super tired, muscle aches, body aches, and chills. But less than 48 hours later I’m back on the grind feeling awesome. Could also be the 15 hours of sleep and pizza last night, but the vaccine experience was 1000x better then getting Covid. And yes Liam still doesn’t mind walking through the middle of a video🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂 @evolutionptfit_ct @evolutionptfit #covidvacccine #covıd #thankyouscience #frontlineworkers
2nd vaccine in the books! Let’s keep moving forward! @evolutionptfit_ct @evolutionptfit #vaccinesafetyadvocate #covidvacccine #covid_19 #covid
Mobility Monday! We are talking glut activation today. A lot of my patients ask me why they don’t feel their gluts engage or activate when doing deadlifts, squats or kettlebell swings. Single leg bridges are a great exercise to do before a workout to prep and engage your gluts properly. Give these a try prior to squatting and deadlifting and let me know if you feel the difference! #crossfithealth #crossfit #squatsonsquats #deadlifting #deadlift #deadlifts #sqauts #squatsfordays #squatssquatssquats #gluts #glutsworkout #glutactivation #glutactivationworkouts #glutsonfire @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct
Mobility Monday! Working on our hips and back. This is a great dynamic hamstring and hip mobility series to open up the spine and hips. I do this for my back and hips before and after workouts. Give this a try and comment below! @evolutionptfit @evolutionptfit_ct #crossfithealth #backmobility #hiomobility #squatmobility #squatmobilityexercise #lowbackmobility #lowbackpainrelief #lowbackpain #lowbackmobilitytraining #lowbackexercises
Mobility Monday! Wrist mobility is crucial for Olympic lifts like power cleans and squat cleans. If you struggle with wrist pain after these lifts you need to try these mobility exercises.
