The Block Push

This exercise packs a powerful punch. I first used it to help develop strength I needed to resolve the pain and symptoms from my labral tear and osteoarthritis, but I discovered its value for all people, injured and uninjured alike.

Normally when we lift a leg, we use a ton of lower back and abdominals. Here this develops our ability to lift our leg using our leg muscles, hip flexors and not pulling the low back and spine into the exercise. This skill takes our strength and mobility to the next level.

This kind of strength is helpful for the low back, for the hip joints and knees and is especially great for helping deal with hip, low back and knee injuries.
