You’re stretching your psoas wrong!

Unfortunately incorrect technique when stretching your hip flexors (illiopsoas) can result in stretching of your anterior hip capsule which can put extra stress through your labrum and possibly alter your intracapsular arthrokinetics.

Follow these easy steps to make sure youre stretching the right structures

  • Knee at 90 degress, hips at 180 degrees

  • Squeeze your glute

  • You should feel a stretch through your hip

  • Reach up an stretch through the anterior myofascial connection

  • Hold for 20 secs, repeat three times a day

  • Enjoy a larger range of motion

7 day Meal Plan

Sometimes the hardest part of the day is simply deciding what to eat! That’s where I come in.

By filling out a quick questionnaire about your food preferences and habits, I can create a personalised, nutritious weekly meal plan to keep you feeling nourished and organised all week long.

Pathology Testing 

Nutritional reference ranges differ from standard pathology ranges, as they use a narrower scope to help identify early imbalances before they become bigger issues. Specific supplementation will be recommended to address any deficiencies which are present.  If you have recent pathology results, you’re welcome to send them through and we can review and discuss them together during a consultation. 

 

If necessary an initial nutrition consult may be recommended to get a greater understanding on why deficiencies may be occurring.
