More functional mobility, with the 3D hamstring stretch. For most runners, the "go to" stretch for the hamstrings involves putting your foot up and reaching for your toes. The hamstrings work in 3D and rotation is where most of the power is developed. Give this stretch a go and you'll feel a deep stretch like never before!

We had a great response to our hip mobility video, so we decided to follow it up with 3D functional calf stretch. You may be doing the type of calf stretch where you hang your heels off the edge of a curb? If so, you may want to try this calf stretch instead, which creates mobility that will carry over into your running or walking gait. Get the most out of the 3D calf stretch, by doing it before the 3D hip stretch. All you runners and walkers out there, give it a go! #stretching #hip #tri #functionality #running #video #edge #gait #calfstretches #runningstretch #cityosteopaths #run #achilles #tendonitis #runners #jogging #stretch #stretches #triathlete  Following on from our previous running blog, we decided to make a short video, demonstrating a simple and effective hip mobility stretch, to help you get the most out of running and reduce the chances of injury. Mobility is an essential component in all sports. Creating mobility through stretching is essential and the most effective stretches are those that look, in the whole or part like the sport that you are preparing for. Notice how the hip stretch in the video is performed in a running type posture and creates the hip movements that will carry over into improved running performance.

Following on from our previous golf blog, here's a quick hitter to help improve hip mobility, so you can generate more power in your swing and reduce the chances of injury. When we swing at a golf ball we need to be sure that we have plenty of internal rotation in the back hip. This allows us to lengthen and load our powerful butt/gluteal muscles and create a powerful swing. If we can't power the swing from our hips, we lose power and risk injury.

Summer is around the corner and many Wellingtonians are back on the road, getting the miles under their belts. Unfortunately, some keen runners are dogged by injuries, that either limit their progress or stop them running completely. In some unfortunate cases, these running related injuries can affect you when you are simply walking, or going about your daily lives.  Common running injuries include:
A pattern that we often see with our patients is that just as they start running and begin to make progress, then injury strikes. So, they ease off or even stop running completely and the pain goes away. Then, when you feel able to run again and increase your mileage, the pain comes back. Sound familiar?... At City Osteopaths, we offer a unique and effective approach to resolving running injuries. This includes:
One unique aspect of our approach at City Osteopaths, that sets us apart from other clinics, is our accurate understanding of human function and running gait mechanics, as they relate to the whole body, not just the legs.
