Revival Performance Physical Therapy Exercise Instruction
Lat Pulldown
This exercise targets the latissimus dorsi, which directly aids in vertical pull and rowing movements, as well as serves as an important stabilizer in many other upper and lower body exercises.
Kettlebell Swing
The Kettlebell swing is a common exercise performed incorrectly. Dr. Aaron McAnelly explains the proper way to do a kettlebell swing. Must watch if you get back pain after doing KB swings. The most common reason people get back pain after this exercise is from not using their core and glutes and overusing their low back. The low back should be maximally braced to provide support (like a built in back brace) so the movement comes from the hips and not the low back.
Barbell Bent Over Row
Dr Aaron McAnelly demonstrates a barbell bent over row, which works a large percentage of the back muscles, including the lats and traps.
Seated Machine Rows
Dr. Lauren Schrank shows the proper way to perform a seated row with cables.
Band Assisted Pull Up
Dr. Lauren Shrank shows how to perform a pull up on a bar with assistance from rubber bands. This is a great way to get more reps and start working on your pull ups.
Safety Squat Bar
This piece of equipment is designed to aid in developing or replace (usually due to injury) the barbell back squat. It more comfortably sits on the shoulders, distributing weight over a larger surface on pads instead of a solid metal bar.
When using this bar do remember that it is 70lbs, not the standard 45lbs.
Pit Shark Belt Squat
Unilateral Leg Press
Barbell Overhead Strict Press
Standing overhead shoulder press is a great exercise for your shoulders and upper back, Dr. Lauren Schrank shows you the proper way to press without hurting yourself. Remember to keep your core engaged and reduce the low back arching/extension.
