Lesiones de Sobreuso y Entrenamiento Cruzado

Por Kate Feinberg Robins

¿Sabías Tú?

Sobreuso es la causa más común de lesiones para bailarines entrenados en el ballet clásico. El entrenamiento de ballet da énfasis al uso de los músculos pequeños como muslos interiores, rotadores profundos de las caderas y músculos intrínsecos de los pies. Para estudiantes recreacionales del ballet, desarrollar estos músculos pequeños ayuda a mantener la estabilidad, fuerza y equilibrio mientras maduramos.

Por otro lado, los bailarines de ballet con formación profesional necesitan incorporar ejercicios en la rotación interna de las caderas y la flexión plantar de los pies, además de desarrollar músculos grandes como los glúteos y cuádriceps. Este tipo de entrenamiento cruzado puede prevenir o corregir problemas de articulaciones y tendones que se acumulan a partir del sobreuso. Afortunadamente, si nos damos cuenta de estos problemas apenas inicien, y si nos acercamos a través de los ejercicios adecuados, ¡no tenemos que dejar de bailar!

En Find Your Center, ofrecemos varias formas de entrenamiento cruzado y opciones de ejercicio personalizado. Contáctate con Kate para averiguar qué opciones tenemos que podrían servir tus necesidades.

Back to Basics: Why I Still Take Beginner Classes

Kate practicing 4th Port de Bras with Épaulement By Kate Feinberg Robins Back to Basics A Surprise Beginner Class This year, I took advantage of the first week of school to head over to the  School of International Ballet , a local studio here in Redlands, California that I'd recently discovered.  The Wednesday Adult Ballet class was taught by Ms. Barbara, a founding member of Ballet West (and retired psychologist, according to my classmate, Jennifer).  It was a lovely class, with only one other student that day, and it was nice to be back in a studio with space to move and a bit of an audience, both of which always motivate me. Jennifer and Barbara both warned me before class began that it was intended for beginners. I suppose they could tell by how I carried myself and walked confidently to the barre that this was not my first time in a ballet studio. They encouraged me  to come back on Thursday or Fr...

How to Deal with a Back Spasm: 5 Home Exercise Tips

Image
By Kate Feinberg Robins What Is a Back Spasm? If you’ve experienced a back spasm, you know it can be incredibly painful, start suddenly, and last several days. The good news is most muscle spasms can be managed through home exercise and over-the-counter medicine. (For more on causes and medical treatments, we recommend the Cleveland Clinic’s website .) A back spasm is basically when a muscle in your back contracts involuntarily and will not release. In our experience, it feels like sudden shooting and debilitating pain (usually accompanied by crying ☹️). Here are some tips we’ve learned that help get us through when it happens. 1. Slow Down Be patient with yourself. It can take weeks for the pain to go away fully. Often a spasm is (in part) your body telling you that you’re doing too much and forcing you to slow down. (And maybe next time, we can remember to slow down before it happens and avoid it altogether 🤔.) 2. Keep Moving This is the hardest and most important part. When it feel...

What's the Difference Between Pilates and Yoga?

By Kate Feinberg Robins Pilates? Yoga? What Is It? Sometimes it feels like everywhere we look there's a Pilates or yoga studio. Every gym and community center seems to offer Pilates, yoga, or a combined Pilates-yoga class. Are they the same? Are they different? What are they? Mind-Body Practice on a Mat Pilates and yoga are both mind-body practices done on a mat. As mind-body practices, both Pilates and yoga focus on coordinating breath with movement. Because of the focus on mind-body connection, Pilates and yoga are typically done slowly, with careful attention to the details of each movement, position, and breath. Both tend to focus on flowing from one movement or pose to the next, with deliberate transitions in between. Like many mind-body practices, the principles practiced in the studio (such as harmony, flow, and centering) are intended to be applied holistically in everyday life. Typically, yoga exercises and sequences are done on a "sticky mat" or "yoga mat....
