Melita Fitness & Rehab

An incredible experience for the team to participate in a cadaver dissection with @anatomytrainsofficial . There is no better way to expand knowledge on anatomy and human movement than with a real body.

Tightness in the hip flexor muscles commonly inhibit the glutes from activating. This is due to reciprocal inhibit. When one muscle is tight or contracted, the antagonistic muscle cannot be. Inability to feel the glutes contract may be due to overactivity in the front of the hip. #painrelief #rehabilitation #physicaltherapy #manualtherapy #glutesworkout #legworkout #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #gymmotivation #workoutmotivation #personaltrainer #correctiveexercise #posturecorrection #lowerbackpain

Time to put those goals into action. Strengthen your core and have fun while doing it! @hannnah_cochran does a power movement with a rotational ball throw for the obliques. #newyearsresolution #newyearsgoals #personaltrainer #fitnessmotivation #gymmotivation #corestrength #correctiveexercise

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

Happy Veterans Day! I am proud to be a Veteran and serve just like my grandfather did many years before me. Here we are, a couple of young men serving our country. This coming Saturday, I'm proud to join Padres Pedal the Cause in the fight against cancer. We have a large goal this year: to raise $3.3 million dollars at Padres Pedal 2019.... Personally, I have committed to spin on November 16th and raise $250 for cancer research. I hope you will support me in this journey and consider making a donation, of any size. 100% of your tax-deductible donation will go directly to fund cancer research in San Diego. Please click on this link to donate: https://bit.ly/33ClKrx Thank you so much and have a great Veterans Day :)

Dan is the absolute best! Nobody is better at understanding the human body - both for physical fitness or pain relief. I didn't believe it could work until I tr...ied it but it's incredible how releasing muscular/nerve tension in one part of the body relieves chronic pain in another. Definitely give him a try before going through any unnecessary surgeries. See more
