In this video, Dr. Ken Kaufman, sports chiropractor and MLB consultant, demonstrates how to perform the perfect push-up with an emphasis on form, alignment, and muscular control—the foundation for pain-free, powerful movement.

✅ Why It Works:

Builds strength in the chest, shoulders, and triceps

Reinforces proper scapular mechanics and shoulder stability

Enhances core control to protect the spine and improve posture

Great for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and injury recovery programs

🏋️‍♂️ How to Perform:

1. Begin in a plank position with hands under shoulders and core braced

2. Lower your chest toward the floor while maintaining a straight line from head to heels

3. Press through your palms and engage your core to return to starting position

Perform 2–3 sets of 10–15 controlled reps

💡 Pro Tip: Keep your elbows at a 45° angle from your body and maintain full tension through your core for maximum joint protection and muscle activation.
