The Chiro Co | Evidence based Burwood Chiropractor 
๐ฅ Very wise words ๐ฅโฃ from the very wiseย @shift_movementscience, said in relation to gymnastics ๐. โฃ
However, I feel that it translates just as strongly to pole as well as to chiropractic ๐ฉโโ๏ธ, rehab/prehab, manual therapies and gym practices ๐๏ธ (as well as a whole range of other things tbh).โฃ
Just because that is the way things have always been done, doesnโt mean it is the best way ๐คฏ.
It doesnโt mean it is based on evidence or that it has been properly reevaluated throughout time and experience โ. โฃ
๐ Just because it is the way your instructor taught you, doesnโt necessarily mean it is the way you should teach your students! ๐ โฃ
Donโt get me wrong, some of the things that have always been done are amazing ๐. But some are outdated.โฃ
โฃ
If you donโt understand something, question it! ๐ง โฃ
If it doesnโt seem right, research it. ๐ฉโ๐โฃ
Ask questions! โ๏ธโฃ
Seek the knowledge that you need to be great at your craft. โ

I often see this in classes, and I can see it in my instagram engagement too. Pole dancers/flexibility students donโt like things that donโt look like pole and they feel the same way about the splits ๐คธ๐ผโโ๏ธ. โฃ

It doesnโt need to be a split to help with your splits ๐ โฃ
โฃ
There are sooo many exercises that donโt look like a split, that will greatly ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ as well as ๐ซ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ค ๐คฉ. โฃ

I donโt usually like giving a set amount of reps and/or sets of an exercise to do ๐ฑ.
I do it with my instagram posts because I know that is what people need, and if they are not injured it isnโt hugely problematic.
HOWEVER
I always say to my chiro, (p)rehab and flexibility patients, and it is relevant to my followers too, quality ๐ over ๐ quantity ๐.
I donโt care if you do 60 reps of your rehab exercise, if you donโt do it properly!
Rehab particularly, but also conditioning, is about using specific muscles to make specific joints perform specific actions. If you arenโt being specific, you likely arenโt achieving the full benefit ๐คฏ.
There is also the added factor of neuromuscular patterning ๐ง .. Sounds nerdy I know, but I will explain it, and its implications to nice lines etc in pole, next time ๐.
So if you do some of the exercises I post, aim for the target reps of course ๐, but if you canโt do that many at a high quality – engaging the right muscles, then simply donโt do that many โบ๏ธ.

Is that a stretch youโre feeling, or is it ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฅ? Part 2. (for part one check instagram for the video)
โฃ
1๏ธโฃ Lay on your back with your pelvic floor + core engaged, with a neutral spine and neck. Bring one leg towards your face with a pointed toe until you feel a stretch in your hamstring.โฃ
2๏ธโฃFlex your foot. Do you feel a change in sensation, or an increase in your โstretchโ?โฃ
3๏ธโฃKeeping your foot flexed, bring the leg back down to the ground so you are laying on your back (change nothing except the angle at your hips). Does the added or increased sensation/โstretchโ from flexing the foot go away?โฃ
If you said yes to the above two questions, then the added โstretchโ you are feeling when you flex your foot is actually nerve tension ๐ฑโ. โฃ
Go back and look at the last video and read the caption for more info. โฃ
Follow for nerve glide videos to come to help with this issue ๐. โฃ
If you have pain or injury, get it checked by a professional ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฉ๐ผโโ๏ธ. โฃ
This is just the basics of nerve tension! So if your flexibility is not improving no matter what you try, or you arenโt seeing the progress you would expect, hit me up for an appointment. I work late nights and weekend so no excuses! ๐โฃ
