Should you stop strength training at 50? Nope — it’s actually the perfect time to start (or keep going!). 💪

Strength training after 50 helps preserve muscle, protect your joints, improve balance, and keep you doing the things you love — pain-free and independently. Just 2 sessions a week can make a huge difference.

They may look basic… but resistance bands are anything but boring. 💥

Often underestimated, these simple bands pack a punch. From building strength and improving mobility to targeting stabilizing muscles and enhancing posture — they do it all. They’re joint-friendly, travel-friendly, and adapt to every fitness level, making them a go-to for rehab and performance.

Don’t sleep on the bands — they’re small but mighty.

Would you try this? Drop a 👍 in the comments if you're team resistance bands!

Sometimes, the best courses don’t give you all the answers... they help you ask better questions.
That’s exactly what Greg Lehman did during his recent visit with us.

We recently hosted an incredible course with Greg Lehman, and let’s just say, our brains and bodies got a serious upgrade. 🧠💥

Greg is known for bridging the gap between biomechanics, pain science, and practical rehab strategies and this course delivered just that. We dove into how movement, mindset, and evidence-based care intersect to help clients move better and feel better, without overcomplicating things.

Big thank you to Greg for bringing the energy, clarity, and a many laughs along the way. 🙌
Our team is feeling inspired and ready to put these insights into action!

Feeling back pain when you deadlift? 💥 Let’s break down a few common reasons why. 🧐

→ If your lower back is rounding, your spine isn’t staying neutral—make sure to hinge from the hips and brace your core like you’re taking a light punch. 💪

→ Tight hips? They can force your back to do extra work. Add some mobility drills before you lift. 🧘‍♂️

→ Also, keep the bar close to your shins—if it drifts forward, it puts more strain on your back. 🎯

→ And don’t rush the weight. Build up gradually with good form to avoid unnecessary pain. ⏳

📩 Not sure what’s going wrong? Comment “LIFT” and we’ll help you sort it out! 🙌

Move or Rest? Here’s How to Know! 🤕➡️

Got an injury and not sure if you should rest or move? Here’s a quick guide:

✅ Move (Mobilize Gently) When:
✔️ Pain & swelling have reduced (usually after 48 hours)
✔️ You’re dealing with stiffness—gentle movement helps prevent weakness
✔️ It’s a minor injury like a mild sprain or strain—movement boosts circulation & healing

🚫 Rest (Immobilize) When:
❌ There’s severe pain, swelling, or instability (like fractures or torn ligaments)
❌ You’ve had surgery or a serious injury that needs time to heal
❌ Moving makes the pain worse or risks further damage

💡 Tip: Start with rest, then ease into movement when it’s safe. Not sure what’s best? Listen to your body—or better yet, ask a pro!
