Definitely check out the glute strengthening exercises (clamshell and multi position side lying leg raise) which are key for rehab in both back and groin injuries. When the gkures are weak, the groin works way harder to prevent us from falling over.

If you can handle it, also try some.version of truck rotation like the windshield Wiper *(bentcor straight knees depending on what you can tolerate).

Good luck- stay in touch.

Awesome idea. I was planning to do some grip strength stuff but I'll also get into management and prevention. Great idea

There is a very important tape job my physio mentor and I got published for developing. I'll def do that video. Great idea.

Hi all, so glad to be here!

If you have any ideas for topics that you would like to see covered in upcoming rehab videos please leave it here in the reply section. I will get to more advanced strengthening, taping techniques (for injuries acutely and also for returning to the mats- like turf toe, and skiiers thumb), some positional mobility drills (like the open guard one now posted), and lots of others...but if there is a particular thing you would like to see covered..DONT BE SHY!

thanks for any and all feedback and suggestions- we are here for you!

You may have to tape the toe for rolling...I can do a video on this next.
You may have to look at getting surgery if it is not healing and still pinches, but lots of bike riding is key and lots of hip and popliteus strengthening is key. Good luck

Take a look at the rehab videos (popliteus and new glut strengthening) by Joel. He looks goofy but there is some good info. Stay off your knees on top, no leg entanglements until you build confidence

(Pt3) he video Sarah posted is great for getting the muscles to fire and stabilize the area once it is moving better. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes Joel

Sometimes, rolling over a ball/foam roller (as Rosy does in one video) can also loosen it, but I'd opt for someone doing it via manipulations.

You may have to get a physio or chiro manipulate the joints in your thoracic spine to allow proper rotation/extension of your tight spots.
