Love it. Thank you for sharing this Coach!

[@goalietraining]

You're so welcome!

[@goyette3608]

It’s been on for Many years but nearly practiced!

[@srStinnky]

obviously I've done it. And I can say it's a weird and different way to move our bodies...but is great!

[@goalietraining]

That is a great way to describe it Adrian!

Excellent ; we all know goalies carry 38 to 40 pounds on top of the normal me and you; stretches the day after also big time important . GO GOALIES. Thank you Marie & staff. LIGHT STRETCH &^ flat hard surface a couple of hrs . after the 90 minute scrimmage big help too. & Ice.

[@goalietraining]

Totally agree. The goalies I work with have a quick post-skate restorative routine to complete every time they come off the ice - - Almost always includes some ELDOA too.

Ooooohhh new training concepts and ideas o.o Ok now that ive watched through the video i have a question. Compression happens because we are slouching or even just existing on a planet with gravity. How does doing these decompression techniques after training or skating or having a game help us to get better for the future? Dont we just...compress again before the next practice?

[@goalietraining]

Great question - think of it this way - just because we sit, slouch, get compressed all day, that doesn't mean creating some decompression has no value. When we sit our hamstrings get tight, but we still work on that tissue quality. There is also a training benefit to those postural muscles over time - - so it is not going to reverse the effects of life and gravity, but it can improve spine health.

Seems similar to traction, however active compared to passive, where as traction relies on a machine or manual therapy to create the joint spacing between vertebrae. Without doing DYOR I'm thinking there may not be a ton of evidence based research. Do you find it similar to foam rolling as in there is not a ton of research backing, but after consistently performing the exercises you feel better and that's all that matters?

[@goalietraining]

Research typically follows innovation in S&C - - plus it can be hard to get funding for research on something like "ELDOA', so that is another thing to consider. You are right, the concept is the same - creating a distraction (or decoaptation).

I just gave it a try. I can still feel some strain just below my shoulder blades. I have a question regarding our arms. You said not to shrug our shoulders, but I’m having a difficult time both raising my hands with a string through my palms and keeping my shoulders down. Are we supposed to hold out shoulders in a lower position using our back muscles? Thanks, Maria!

[@goalietraining]

Good question - you don't need to 'hold your shoulders down' - - your scapula will rotate up and elevate slightly as you flex your shoulders, but don't actively shrug them up - does that make sense?

[@duncanbrown7082]

@@goalietraining perfect sense.

[@ggcote2183]

Just sitting in that position makes my hip flexors BURN!!! Is my technique off or is this normal when someone starts this? Also, ROM in my shoulders might be at 75 degree when in this position. Thoughts?

[@goalietraining]

100% when you start, they are holding you in that upright sitting position. In terms of your shoulder mobility, just use what you have, don't force it.

[@yodaddamilkman8422]

Not gunna, immediately reduced some pain in my mid back. Still skeptical though, I’ll wait till after next practice to try again.

[@goalietraining]

Glad it made you feel some better - good idea to go slow though.

[@kaedenedstrom3121]

ELDOA is awesome but so hard sometimes 😂

[@goalietraining]

So hard! I feel like I’m making a crazy face 90% of the time I’m doing Aldeborgh because I’m concentrating so hard.
