📖The Science of Active Recovery for #crossfit 🏋🏼CrossFi# is the ultimate discipline for GPP. However, the WOD is biased in many cases to certain muscle groups. 💡Plus, the linearity of exercises creates a high volume of repetitive strain on joints: Run / Row / SkiErg, etc. ❗️Therefore, the recovery is designed around the key physical demands. 👨‍⚕️Only in 2024, I worked over 100 hours of medical fitness training sessions with cross-training athletes who experienced an array of shoulder problems, starting with shoulder tendinopathy to scapula dyskinesis. 🎥: Post 1️⃣I established one most important issue that the reason for all problems is the lack of movement in the thoracic spine. The excessive stiffness and the absence of strategic exercises lead to extreme stiffness in the thoracic spine, which creates stress beyond control for the shoulder musculature. Therefore, every session working with cross athletes starts with fundamental exercises to open up the thoracic spine. ❗️...
