Causes of Pain and Injuries Why Pain and Injuries reaccure Paul Zaichik EasyFlexibility Elasticsteel
As a matter of fact, the cause is usually found on the opposite side of where the pain is located.
Most people are not aware of this concept. So they keep rubbing and stretching and putting ointments on the site of pain.
This concept is most applicable to muscle and tendon injuries.
Let me give you a direct example, so you understand how an injury can form.
For example let’s say an injury at the front of the shoulder. This injury can appear from lifting the arms forward, or over head - with resistance or even without. Many athletic activities such as throwing, dancing, punching, etc. can be crippled by this injury.
As you already know, an attempt to deal with this pain would be to focus on the site of the injury. And yet, the trauma will keep re-accruing time and time again.
The culprit is the muscles that extend the shoulder (pull the arm down), not the ones that flex it (where pain is).
The extensors of the shoulder (Lats, Teres Major, Pectoralis Minor, Long head of the triceps), as well as muscles of the scapula (Rhomboids, pectoralis minor, levator) inhibit the shoulder flexors (again where pain is felt).
In simple terms, by inhibiting them, they make their job of lifting the arm very difficult (they have to fight the resistance). Those tissues in front of the shoulder become very prone to chronic inflammation, and weakness.
More Examples
Another example would be the hip. Depending on the activity and person’s constitution, any muscle group can cause an issue for the antagonist muscle group.
For example:
Tight hip flexors (Psoas, Iliacus, etc) can weaken the glutes.
Tight quadriceps can weaken and injure the hamstrings.
In the next article, I will talk about solutions to the very common culprits of injury presented above.

High Side Kick Hip Pain | Is Hip Injury Unavoidable in High Side Kicks | ElasticSteel
This blog will answer the questions about the side kick and hip impingement.
https://elasticsteel.com/products/all...
Natural Hip Abduction is about 45 degrees.
If you don’t move your pelvis, 45 degrees is all you are going to get.
If you try to force it past 45 degrees you will injure your hip.
This is simple enough.
So how does one throw high kicks and don’t get injured?
The key is to move the pelvis. The kicking side of the pelvis must rise up.
This is the same as shoulder joint and scapula. If you try to raise the arm to the side and over your head, but don’t move the scapula… you will get an injury.
To move the pelvis, the supporting leg must turn out. Abduction of the standing hip must take place in a turned out position. This means that flexibility in the supporting leg is needed.
How much flexibility, depends on how high you want to kick.
For example you want to kick all the way up. A vertical kick.
In theory a full open front split would be enough.
In practice, however doing a split on the ground does not transfer into a full split standing (or end position of the vertical side kick).
Active VS Passive Flexibility
This is because active flexibility is always less than passive one.
So a passive flexibility of an a deep over split is needed to have an active flexibility of a full split.
What about if all you have is a full split?
In that case you need to develop a lot of strength, especially in long range of the muscles of the kicking leg (long range meaning strength, when fully stretched).
Keeping in mind that the body will drop away from the kick, core flexibility and strength will be needed to bring it back up.
Joints Safety and Health
Both of the factors (supporting leg and core) will prevent pressure from being applied to the hip of the kicking leg. This way keeping the kicking leg safe.
In the next article I will talk about what is preventing people from shifting their pelvis from the kinesiological point of view and how to correct it.

Winter Workout Warm Up Injury Prevention l Paul Zaichik l ElasticSteel l EasyFlexibiity
Avoiding Injuries in cold weather and sample warm up.
The thermometer has been at it’s lowest in recent days. I have been asked about training. Some people asked if they should dial their training back. Others wanted to know if there is an increased risk of injury when training at low temperatures. While others wondered how to warm up properly to avoid injuries.
So let’s start with the basics. Research has proven what every instinctively knows, that the probability of injuries rise in the cold. This is significant for many people, who perform for a living, compete at high level or simple exercise for general wellness
A large percentage of people train just outside of injury. This means that just a minor additional stressor can cause damage. Cold temperature can be that stressor.
Out of all the tissues, the tendons are most suspect-able to cold, followed by ligaments. Muscle injuries can happen, but are less common.
Don’t confuse being “warm blooded” to being immune from the effect of temperature changes on your musculoskeletal system. Obviously all humans are warm blooded. However, some people do better in cold environment than other. Same way as some people tolerate heat better than others. This is worth mentioning because this culprit can be overlooked.
Being able to walk around in a shorts, T-shirts and slippers in 40 Fahrenheit degree weather (+4 degree celcius), is does not make one bullet-proof to injuries from the effect cold weather. I have seen people make this mistake. Regardless of how you take cold and how strong your immune system is, your training can’t be the same in summer and in the winter, without an increased risk of injury, when temperatures drop. This is because of the defensive adaptation in your body to preserve heat.
In terms of dialing back your training, when it get’s cold. Is it necessary? If done properly, no you don’t need to do that.
So what is “properly”? Most common answer I hear is “longer warm up”. “you need a longer warm up” is like a doctor telling patient “you need to loose weight”. What does it mean? How do you do it?
My research and practice does not point to “longer warm up”, but to a more careful warm up. Or rather “more gradual warm up”
The first thing to keep in mind is that when the body is trying to preserve heat, the vital organs located in the center is the priority. This means the extremities get less heat distribution. So wearing long sleeves instead of T-shirt, pants instead of shorts is a good idea. Socks and even gloves. If any body part feels cold, it should be covered.
Next is the warm up. The blood and heat must be moved out of the center toward the extremities. Also tissues around the joints should be warmed up gradually. For this reason, exercises that work the core and easy on the tendons are best to start with. Here is a sample warm up routine following these principles.....
