How effective can a “weekend warrior” be at doing most prehab exercises example all scapular stabilizing exercises(wall slides YTWs etc), rotator cuff work, and working to fix Anterior Pelvic Tilt with stretches and glute activation. The reason I am asking is adding this stuff in adds almost and hour sometimes more to my training day. I am a student and work so I want to make sure I am not wasting my time.
Also Is ART or other soft tissue from a certified professional work absolutely necessary or can I see results with a foam roller and a LAX ball?
Do you feel better when you do this movements? If its the only way to get you mobile then you almost need to keep it up. If not drop it, an hour of this seems superfluous to me.
Most people I know stick to the foam roller and lacross ball and they’re fine.
I would hit up mobilitywod and check out the stuff K-Star posts, he’s a DPT and his stuff is normally about 10 minutes long and it works.
Does ART have any evidence? I’m asking because a lot of people advocate for it but haven’t seen it in the literature and it costs ridiculous amounts to attend a seminar (which a lot of times means it’s a cult-following).

Evidence how? The only evidence i care about is if it works, but as with anything you will read/hear about studies saying how effective and some saying how ineffective something is. From personal experience, ART fixed a nerve entrapment in my elbow/arm that the doctor told me was impossible to fix. I would never go to a seminar to learn ART honestly, it’s more effective to have someone else perform it anyway and costs $25 a visit.

Right, but I would be the “someone” doing it as I’ll be a DPT in a couple years. Evidence means randomized control trials showing effectiveness compared to other treatments or placebo.
