"Effective Strategies for Strengthening Your Weaker Side"
Dana Santas, a mobility specialist, explains how natural side dominance can lead to pain and overuse injuries, especially for those with physically demanding careers or who fail to properly rehab after an injury. By being aware of and counteracting overuse, such as through switching sides when carrying a bag or doing unilateral strength-training exercises with a dumbbell, individuals can promote balance and prevent imbalances from developing. Unilateral training not only corrects existing imbalances but also serves as an effective rehabilitation tool, stimulating the nonworking side and supporting recovery from sided injuries.
