No.1 Exercises don’t happen in a vacuum! There is always context, meaning and narratives that accompany exercise, movement, PA etc. There are no good/bad exercises only more and less useful for a particular person at a particular point. A huge pitfall I have made in the past and see many clinicians make is to deem a movement or exercise as being “dysfunctional”, “maladaptive”, “bad” or “off limits”, whether that be explicit of implicit. If the narrative and messaging about a particular exercise or movement is not clarified at the start or revised it can have enduring impacts later down the track.
