Everyone will tell you that it's important for a hockey player to be flexible and mobile and that you should be stretching. ⁠ ⁠ But what they don't tell you is that, just like strength training, your mobility exercises need to be hockey-specific.⁠ ⁠ Look at the areas of the body that are directly related to how you move on the ice.⁠ ⁠ The shoulders for example, are essential for puck handling, shot power and shot accuracy.⁠ ⁠ Tight, rounded shoulders will usually result in a forward head position which will diminish your game vision and increase your risk of injury.⁠ ⁠ That's why the pros include mobility exercises like this one.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #TWISThockey #hockeymobility #mobilityexercise #prehab #injuryprevention #hockeytraining #movebetter #hockey #functionalfitness #hockeystrong #strengthandconditioning #stretching #sportsperformance #sportsperformanctraining #athletedevelopment #movewell ⁠ #mobility #functionaltraining #portcoquitlam #portcoquitlamgym
