DBM2| 🚨ATTN HOCKEY GOALIES | Don't Stretch Unless You Do THIS❓

[@ssdj04]

My left adductor muscle is not only tight, but as it reaches stretch, it’s painful not regular feeling of stretch, but pain. Tight TFL and tight Psoas Entire left side is off

[@goalietraining]

I would get checked by a good physical therapist who has experience working with athletes. See what's causing that feeling.

[@xKrispyx]

The SMR recommended in the Butterfly Challenge (and trigger point injections for the places that just won't release, usually my shoulders) has me feeling looser than I have in years . Thanks Maria, you're the best!

[@goalietraining]

You are welcome Kris - glad to help.

13:16 She knows.... On a serious note tho; as a "visual" guy, if you could have on screen like an image of the muscle I should target, or the area, I think that could help a lot ! :D

[@goalietraining]

That WOULD be great - - I don't know how to do that, but it would be very cool

[@maestroairsoft424]

@@goalietraining What editing software are you using ? There are usually a ton of tutorials on youtube for this :)

[@goalietraining]

@@maestroairsoft424 I'm sure I could learn for sure or get Kevin to do it... but there are a lot of other things I have on my "to do" list at this time. But totally appreciate the suggestion.

It hurts so good! 🤣 Thanks, Maria.

[@goalietraining]

ha ha - it sure does!

[@theofarano3001]

Awesome video! How often should we do these exercises?

[@goalietraining]

Daily is fine - at least every other day.

[@thesportsquad4531]

Awesome video love your content

[@goalietraining]

Thank you very much!

[@mtlgoalie62]

As always, great video. Thanks for simplifying it for us beginner SMR people. Do you recommend using the ball instead of the foam roller? Or follow up with foam rolling?

[@goalietraining]

You can start with the foam roller because it is gentler, then move to the LAX ball once you are used to the FR

Loved the video and your channel! Quick question, I am coming off an L5-S1 herniated disk injury (that needed surgery to fix...yay...) and I have finally been given the green light to start playing again (actual happy yay! lol). What would be some good stretches and/or foam/ball rolling techniques I can do before a game or maybe even the day before to keep my lower back loose and to keep it from locking up on me during a game? My physical therapist gave me a list of generic stretches to do in general throughout the day but I was just wondering if there's any goalie specific stretches and/or techniques I can do as well. Thanks and I hope you have a great day!

[@goalietraining]

Glad to hear you are on the mend AJ - here is an off-ice warm up you can do (even before you head to the rink if you don't live like an hour away) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3K9eYucq5Jggbc but run it past your physio before you start so you can make sure there isn't something in there that he/she doesn't want you doing since I don't have a full picture of what's going on with your specific injury.

[@Fire_EMS711]

@@goalietraining sweet! A couple stretches he's having me do are in that video actually but I'll be sure to ask about it next time I see him. Thank you for the reply and video!

[@srStinnky]

But of course I liked the video. By the way something my physio told me after the release by just sitting there enjoying life while the ball sinks in, is to kinda scratch the area with your knuckles so to promote the blood flow, even some hand hill hitting. 🤜🏻🤛🏼 (Darn I think I have to wash my sneakers)

[@goalietraining]

ha ha - get those sneakers in the washer!

[@liambechthold2621]

Are you going to be doing a video on how to stretch your knees

[@goalietraining]

In what direction Liam - what movement are you trying to improve?

[@liambechthold2621]

@@goalietraining The inside of my whole knee is tight

[@goalietraining]

@@liambechthold2621 That is a ligament Liam and we don't want to stretch those - they give structural support to the knee. BUT when you improve your HIP internal rotation it takes some load off the inside of your knee. You could also add a little to your knee stack like I showed you in THIS video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqOQoqaegJqdh7c

[@hkarogiannis7074]

There are people who think myofacial release doesn't work?? I wouldn't be playing without it.

[@goalietraining]

And that always makes me chuckle too - just do the test on the bottom of your foot - - it sure does something!

[@brianschoenholz3047]

Do young goalies benefit from SMR, or are they fortunate enough to not having this issue?

[@goalietraining]

I don't think it is necessary for goalies under 14
