Do you get knee pain or hip pain when you do side lunges? What about shoulder pain when lifting? Come learn the benefits of frontal plane control and how it can help your lifts 👇🏋️‍♂️ 

The Frontal plane movement is known as tilting your body from side to side. It also involves your legs moving out to one side and your shoulders moving out to the side and overhead. When deficiencies or lack of frontal plane control are present in the frontal plane, a host of issues can arise.  

In the clinic, we commonly see frontal plane control issues with hip and knee pain cases. We also see this manifest as shoulder pain cases and this is due to putting a lot of stress on the shoulder, hip, and knee joints. If you get lateral knee pain or hip pain when doing side lunges or hiking, you can benefit from addressing your Frontal plane movement literacy! 💪🏽 Let us help you be the best version of YOU!

Today, I am going to show you two self-tests you can do to evaluate your Frontal plane control. 
1️⃣- Shoulder Abduction/Adduction control: Stand in front of a mirror for this self-test so you can see what the rest of the body is doing relative to your shoulder movement. With one arm out to your side, wave it up and down. Start out slow and gradually increase the speed. The goal is to see if you can keep the body still while swinging the arm up and down. The body will tend to follow the swing motion so don’t let it. 

2️⃣-  Stand next to a wall for support. Then, raise one leg 🦵🏽 out to the side like you did with the arm swing above ☝🏽 and try to prevent your body from swinging. If you find that your hip or knee shifts to the other side, you may benefit from getting your frontal plane movement literacy addressed in the clinic!

❗Please remember, you should NOT ❌feel more pain while doing this self-test. If you do and have questions, please STOP and give us a call!
