Athletic shoewear have recently gained a lot of attention for their role in assisting a person to acheive a variety of health and fitness related goals. Skechers, being on of the first in the industry, have now come to the forefront of our attention again as some of their claims have been refutted.

Oftentimes we see patients who are flirting with shoes to solve an underlying biomechanical issue. In actuality the shoes are a “band-aid” and not solving the true physical issue at hand. Once the physical issues are resolved, the shoes become a means to assist instead of a failed solution. If you have questions regarding your shoewear and what it may or may not be doing for your health, please get in touch with one of the Motion Stability therapists!

Do you think you have a strong core? The latest trending exercise for core enthusiasts is at Motion Stability! Redcord is gaining popularity in the world of wellness and with elite athletes as a strengthening appartaus which emphasizes perfect form and maximizes muscle specificity! The advantages of redcord as an exercise also play a key role in the world of rehabilitation for the correction of movement dysfunctions found in musculoskeletal pain and chronic pain.
Redcord was featured in a recent edition of Marie Claire magazine! Check out the article here: http://www.neuracpt.com/pdfs/Marie%20Claire%20Cover%20March%202012.pdf
As the height of running season approaches, it is prudent to address the importance of the hip musculature in keeping a runner pain-free while maintaining the efficiency required for long distance events. Motion Stability has partnered with Phiddipides, a local running store, to discuss this topic with their runners.
A lack of hip muscle strength can cause a myriad of problems in any person, but is especially problematic for runners as the hip muscles not only provide the propulsion for a powerful stride, but also the pelvic stbility required to keep the lower legs moving efficiently. For a closer look at how weak hips can literally be a “pain in the butt” for runners, read the article posted on Motion Stability’s website: http://motionstability.com/mediacenter.php. The website has been redesigned to include a running section and will have more updates and interesting articles available to download in the coming months, so keep checking back in!
