Best Lower Back Exercises For Hockey Goalies | Do Daily🏥

Step #1 - 🛑 STOP STRETCHING your back!
There is a reason why your back gets stiff, tight, sore during the later stages of the game and it probably has nothing to do with your back. STRETCHING it might make it feel better for 15-minutes or so, but then it tightens right back up again doesn't it?
Here's what you can do instead to bolster up your back muscles.
If you have back pain - then you need to go see a good sport physiotherapist and get them to assess it. These exercises are NOT designed to FIX your back pain. They could be the exact wrong thing for you to do.

Can’t wait to do these!

[@goalietraining504]

enjoy!

[@TheMacri87]

Great video, one of my biggest issues was a lingering lower back injury from back to back games a few years back. Lower back muscles are usually ignored in my workout routine or I just forget about it. So this helps.

[@TheMacri87]

A lot of back injuries I feel come from just the lack of conditioning. Nobody thinks about it happening until it finally does.

[@goalietraining]

Glad to help! You are right, people don't think about building stamina there until there is a problem.

[@a47mlb]

YES! I need these bad!! You ROCK, Maria!!

[@goalietraining]

Glad to help!

[@martinsautismlife8426]

Glad to be a subscriber, my doc released me to play again and I am glad you posted this video since my lower back is the weakest.

[@goalietraining]

Just take it slow and get fit to play again. Glad to help.

I have an issue with my right foot cramping and getting sore. Thinking it is a posture or push issue from my hip (had and FAI repair on the same side). Am I possibly "gripping" with my toes on that side? How do I retrain my brain to change this behavior and ease the cramping?

[@goalietraining]

You could be gripping with your toes - do you ever notice that cramping any other time? Also wondering what kind of insoles you have in your skates - do they offer any support? I think to retrain your brain, you just have to increase your awareness - so when the play is out of your zone you have to actively 'relax' your toes. It will take time - but I would really look at the fit of your skates.

as a rule of thumb I don't use any gym machine. this video is just for me. but one area that I notice are my front leg muscles, specificly ill say the Rectus Femoralies and the Vastus lateralies. taking on account that I just got back to the ice and to proper ice training...at the end of practice everything is aching, well not ma face :P

[@goalietraining]

To have tired quads after you get back on the ice, that's pretty typical - it will get better. Nothing is the same as being on the ice.

[@cosburn4053]

If your face ain't hurting too, you didn't give your best effort!

[@srStinnky]

C Osburn tomorrow I’m going to be face aching AF 😎

[@goalietraining]

@@cosburn4053 good point!

[@srStinnky]

and I did...

[@Mikey5.3.]

Hey Maria have you ever used a Blocker sleeve and will it work with the catch ball

[@goalietraining]

I have used a Blocker Sleeve - - I don't think it would work with the Catchball because the I don't think the catchball is 'fuzzy' enough to stick to the velcro.

[@Mikey5.3.]

@@goalietraining ok thanks maria

[@goalietraining]

@@Mikey5.3. You are welcome Kova!

[@Pierre_Voyer]

Hi Maria, in the 3rd exercice, the one where on your back you try and lift your hips (around 17mins in the video), I have trouble getting to a straight line with my hips. It feels like I have to use my lower back to get to it. Am I just stiff in the back? I think I need not to push it.

[@goalietraining]

You are likely stiff in your hip flexors - do not try to push it, just go as far as you can go. If you try to push it you will likely end up extending your back and that defeats the purpose. Try a little hip flexor stretch or some self-myofascial release on your hip flexors first and see if that changes anything.

[@Mikey5.3.]

What about planks?

[@goalietraining]

Good for the anterior chain (abs) - not so much training for the lower back.

[@Mikey5.3.]

@@goalietraining ok thanks
