Joint Strengthening Program
Daily CAR’s
The backbone of Movebeyond.withava is your daily CARs routine. I’m assuming you have watched all of the videos that I have recorded for you in an effort to explain why you should make CAR’s your BFF. When performing CAR’s the main focus should be on the intent, feel it, scan for sticky spots, catch your self if you are speeding at any point. Learn to become intune with your body and write down your findings so that you can look back and compare how far you have come in your journey.
I’m often asked how many CAR’s I should do and the answer is, how much do you value your joint health? I’m only demonstrating a few reps, I want you to feel the difference between 3 reps versus 6 or 8 and then slide it into my DM’s!
Take your time when you’re doing CSR’s, do them with the outmost care and precision. Pretend you’re stuck in traffic one mile per hour and speeding will cost you your license, zero tolerance policy.
Lastly never ever push through closing angle joint pain! Read that AGAIN!
What to do instead?
Bypass then pinch by decreasing your range of motion
Get extra reps outside of the pinch zone because it will help you heal
Note the area and give it more attention during your PAIL’s and RAIL’s
