The doctors at Hosmer Chiropractic Health regularly do CrossFit, so we understand the demands of CrossFit on the body. We also know how important your performance is to you day in and day out—and how to maintain and improve performance.
CrossFit participants often struggle with irritations to old injuries or they may not have the flexibility or mobility needed to safely and effectively progress with weightlifting moves like overhead squats, snatches, thrusters or the clean and jerk. We can identify what may be limiting your movement or potential and help you fix any gaps. When it comes to CrossFit, we commonly treat:
- Mobility issues related to the hips, spine or shoulders
- Kettlebell-swing-related low back pain
- Shoulder pain with overhead lifts
- Any low back pain issues associated with the various lifts
The Hosmer Chiropractic Health Difference
At Hosmer Chiropractic Health, we can provide treatments and therapy for a recent injury, chronic conditions or performance-limiting flexibility or mobility issues. In addition to treating an injury, we work with you to identify the cause when it is not obvious. We have a CrossFit rig, along with bars, boxes and bumper plates, onsite so we can watch you perform specific exercises, such as the front rack, to determine how pain may be tied to a mobility issue. Moreover, one of our rehab experts is a certified CrossFit coach and we can also recommend exercises and self-care techniques that can help you maintain better form and reduce the likelihood of injuries. Individualized treatment plans may include:
- Bodywork, including soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation
- Massage
- Relevant home exercises, such as foam rolling, trigger point work or stretching
- Lifting form evaluation and correction
- Nutrition advice
