At MTS, we are always looking for quality, dynamic and versatile movements. Exercises that stretch an athlete’s limits of mobility, stability, strength, and motor control reign supreme when we look at exercise selection. This holds true with every athlete that we work with, whether they are returning after a surgery, looking to prevent a surgery, or hoping to increase their athletic performance.
The 1/2 kneeling windmill is a movement that fits everything that we are looking for. It challenges shoulder, hip and trunk stability while pushing hip and thoracic spine to its limits. We can use it to improve stability, mobility, or simply repattern and retrain neurological patterns as part of their corrective exercise regimen. If you aren’t using the 1/2 kneeling windmill, you better start NOW!
In this video, we will discuss the basics of the windmill. In later videos in this series, look for challenging variations to this movement.
