Realigning Your Body After a Mount Everest summit Trip
Your body has been pushed to the limit during your Mount Everest expedition. To avoid long-term injury, you need a specific set of exercises to realign your joints after the thousands of miles of Everest trekking.
Weeks of hiking uphill tightens the hips. Use a foam roller to release the tension in your IT band and psoas. This prevents the back pain that often follows a successful Mount Everest summit approach.
Carrying a pack for 12 days rounds the shoulders. Practice 'Cat-Cow' and chest openers to restore your posture. This is the best way to heal your upper body after the load of a Mount Everest expedition.
The uneven rocks of the Everest Base Camp trail stress the ligaments. Practice standing on one leg for 60 seconds to rebuild the proprioception and stability needed for your next Everest trekking adventure.
Your journey isn't over when you reach home. Dedicate 20 minutes a day to these exercises to ensure your Mount Everest expedition leaves you stronger, not just tired.
