I would feel it out and see what works best for you. In a lot of cases, it works well to do the stretch before and after the strengthening exercise.

It’s tough to give a one size fits all recommendation as it depends on what symptoms the person has and what impairments exist. In most cases, I will focus on flexibility and mobility exercises when a range of motion impairment exists. In some scenarios, I will use these exercises to treat pain even when a range of motion deficit isn’t present. Toward the later stages of rehab, most of the exercises I am giving people are focused on developing motor control and strength. Phase 3 of each program is setup this way. I may still recommend some mobility or flexibility exercises in the later stages of rehab if they seem to be particularly helpful for a given individual.

I’ll take a look this weekend and see what I can find.

Thanks for watching, Brandon!

Hi Linda, A hold isn’t necessary with the banded hip flexor march. In most cases, we have people perform three sets of 10 to 15 repetitions slowly and with control.

Linda Bonney Bostrom perfect! Here is the link to RSVP.

Hi Linda, I shifted office hours to Thursday morning in hopes that you could attend this week. Does that still work for you?

Sorry, yes, I meant the thoracic pain program. Here is a link.

That’s awesome! Many of these techniques are fairly simple to perform and can be super helpful in many cases for reducing pain.

Sure thing! This is an area we all probably need to focus on a bit with all of the device usage going on these days. The headache program here in the app has a number of exercises that target this area.
