In physical therapy and strength and conditioning, it is common to prescribe the same exercises no matter what the limitation. In this episode I talk about why that is wrong.

No two bodies are the same and therefore there is NO protocol for what exercises to do. The key is knowing which muscles need to stretch and which need to strengthen.

If you want to learn more about why this is important, go to www.neurokinetictherapy.com

When it comes to improving, you need to struggle. You need to wobble. And you need to fail.

That is how your body learns.

Pushing athletes to be perfect all the time will not only lead to stress and anxiety, it will also lead to a LOSS of the ability to move out of your base of support...and thus reduce your balance.

I talked about this on the recent Webinar

I'll talk more about this in the Ankle Masterclass
