Happy Thanksgiving everyone! In honor of Turkey Day, here is a great looking Turkish () Get Up. These are a great way to work on positional strength and stability and a great way to burn off those extra carbs ;) Hope everyone is having a safe and healthy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for all of YOU! . . . #turkishgetup #TGU #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #physicaltherapy #sportsphysicaltherapy #kettlebellworkout

Another couple of great exercises to use with #bloodflowrestriction ! These are great ways to work the legs and core without grinding on painful joints or overloading painful tendons. If you don’t know about BFR (blood flow restriction) training yet, you’re missing out! . . . .... #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy #bfr #bfrt

We want to say a big congratulations to @oldmcdonald93 on being given the opportunity to continue both his running career and research (at MIT, no big deal) in Boston. Matt, we’ll miss you, but we know you are bound for wonderful things! We wish you all the best! Thanks for letting us help you stay healthy. It’s truly an honor! . . .... #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy #marathon

Functional Friday! We like to incorporate functional movements like a lunge into our shoulder rehab programs. This exercise is challenging our client’s shoulder stability as he moves in and out of the lunge position. We always treat the entire body because in reality, our joints and muscles rarely work in isolation! . . .... #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy #shoulderpain #shoulderrehab

Dry needling with electrical stimulation is one of the many methods we use to help with injuries here at GSPT. Here, we’re using it on the quadriceps muscle group. . . . #dryneedling #estim #quads #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy

Happy Halloween all you crazy cats and kittens! Hope your weekend is full of treats and not many tricks.

Only rehabbing the body part you came to see us for is not good enough! The entire body must be re-educated on how to function in a normal environment after sustaining an injury. These push up jack knives exemplify functional work at its finest! #slideboardtraining #pushup #atlanta #functionaltraining #powerlifting #stability #core #allin #sportspt #physicaltherapy #orthopedics

Functional Friday! The kettlebell is a great tool for rehab not only in early stages of recovery, but also towards the end of the rehab process. Here is a 3-movement kettlebell complex that we do with certain patients trying to return to Crossfit after a shoulder injury. It’s a good way to build up stamina and test the anaerobic energy system that is taxed during a typical CrossFit work out. . . . .... #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy #crossfit #crossfitinjury #wod #metcon

Functional Friday! Prayer stretch is a great option for increasing triceps and lay mobility in order to improve your overhead position. The goal is to drive the chest down to the ground. Bend your elbows more if you want to stretch the triceps. Bens them less and drive your chest down further if you want to stretch the last more. . . . .... #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy #shoulderpain #shoulderrehab #elbowpain #elbowrehab

Always a great time working with our rockstar power lifter @craigsbarbell !! There are countless reasons to implement Turkish get ups into a rehab program (core activation, shoulder stability, hip mobility). We’re proud of your hard work up to this point! #turkishgetup #sportspt #core #functionaltraining #atlanta #physicaltherapy #allin #powerlifting #shoulderworkout

Whether it’s warming up for preschool or a big game, increasing blood flow to your muscles prior to activity is essential!!!

Functional Friday! We use this exercise as a way to build up load tolerance in the patellofemoral joint and the patellar tendon. We don’t recommend trying this if you are in the early stages of runner’s knee or jumper’s knee, but if you are farther along in recovery, it can be a great way to fortify the anterior structures of the knee. The key is going slow and controlled on the way down! . . .... #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy

Functional Friday! This exercise is a great way to build endurance in the abs and hip flexor muscles. The glutes get a lot of attention, and most people do a lot of exercises for them. But don’t forget about opposing muscles such as the hip flexors! It’s important to not only be strong, but well balanced. . . . .... #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy

Raise your hand if you like to keep your rehab interesting!! Our client, @craigsbarbell , is doing a diagonal pattern resisted by bands while shaking the body blade. On top of that, he’s got a @smarttoolsusa Blood Flow Restriction cuff on his arm. In the next video, he’s still wearing the BFR cuff while performing unweighted overhead squats. Rehab after surgery doesn’t have to be boring and it can be an opportunity to get stronger! . . .... #atl #atlmidtown #midtownatl #midtownatlanta #atlanta #runners #runnersofig #runnersofatlanta #runatl #strength #mobility #physicaltherapy #sportsrehab #sportsphysicaltherapy #bfr #bloodflowrestriction #bloodflowrestrictiontraining #bodyblade
