๐Ÿšจ NEW BLOG ALERT ๐Ÿšจ Gluteus Maximus Activation: Why is it important and how to maximize activation The gluteus maximus muscle is one of the primary hip extensors meaning it plays a large role in hip extension which allows for upright postures at the hip and moving the leg backwards. While hip range of motion in all directions is important, hip extension is especially important for fundamental skills such as: โ–ช๏ธWalking โ–ช๏ธClimbing stairs โ–ช๏ธTransitioning from sit to stand The step up and its variations were seen to activate the largest percentage of the gluteus maximus muscle thereby resulting in the highest levels of gluteus maximus activation. Although the literature supports the step up as the best exercise for maximal gluteus maximus activation, this exercise requires a great deal of stability in order to safely execute the exercise and maximize its benefits. Physiotherapists are trained in injury and movement assessment and can help you break down movement and determine the best exercises for you. Come visit our team of health care professionals at Advantage Sport Medicine for an assessment and to get back to doing what you love.

Welcome Nicole! Nicole is a kinesiology student that will be joining our team for the next 4 months! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐ŸŽŠ Hereโ€™s an introduction from Nicole herself! Hi! My name is Nicole ๐Ÿ‘‹ I am currently in the final semester of my Bachelor of Kinesiology Degree at the University of Alberta, majoring in physical activity and health. I am originally from Calgary but moved to Red Deer right out of highschool to play volleyball for the Red Deer (College) Polytechnic Queens. I played volleyball for a total of 8 years before injuring my shoulder, unfortunately forcing an early retirement. After 3 years in Red Deer, I moved up to Edmonton to finish my degree and I now live here with my fiancรฉ and our golden retriever. My love for Kinesiology and Physiotherapy came from personal experience through my own injuries in sport and seeing how helpful intervention was to return to a pain free life. If Iโ€™m not in the clinic, you can find me in the gym working on my fitnessโ€ฆ or hanging at home with my family! #yeg #yegphysio #yegphysicaltherapy #yeglift #yeghealthandwellness #yeghealth #yegathlete #edmontonlife #edmontonathlete #stalbert #stalbertphysio #stalbertfitness #physicaltherapy #physio #edmonton #kinesiology #uofakinesiology #student

โ€ผ๏ธTip of the week presents: The benefits of deep breathing While breathing is generally an involuntary action, purposeful deep breathing offers many benefits. Intentional deep breathing has been seen to: โ–ช๏ธreduce sympathetic nervous system activity โ–ช๏ธelevate mood and reduce negative emotions โ–ช๏ธpromote self pain-management โ–ช๏ธincrease pain thresholds โ–ช๏ธimprove abdominal muscle strength and endurance โ–ช๏ธimprove posture This week we challenge you to reset before the new year, and try some purposeful deep breathing.
