Questioning Warm-Ups, Part IISolving an Often Overlooked Aspect of Training. by John Paul Catanzaro Q: I've got a client with a classic kypholordotic posture. He's had issues with his lower back in the past. How should I go about warming him up? A: Okay, to address a kyphotic (i.e. hunchback) posture, have your client lay on a foam roll lengthwise along the spine working up to 15-20 minutes a day.
If performed prior to training, this simple maneuver can increase strength by as much as 3%. Then perform this series of exercises: 1. You'll recognize most of these movements from my Warm-Up to Strength Training DVD. Make sure to perform passive PNF stretches on your client for the following areas: calves, hips (i.e. piriformis, gluteus maximus, tensor fascia latae), hamstrings, hip flexors and knee extensors. Have him perform a static abdominal stretch laying over the Swiss ball then instruct him to walk forward slightly so that his upper back and head are resting on the ball.
