That's supposed to be a shrug emoji on the first slide, but anyways....

Relying on passive treatment (like the ones listed) is a one-way ticket to "I've tried everything" City and "I'm just getting older" Bay.

All of these treatments give us a window where things feel better for a short period. This window of time is where we should be working on coordination, mobility, strength, SOMETHING that will stick around long-term.

This takes time, and consistency, and effort (either mental effort of physical, depending on what stage you are in).

Expecting somebody sticking a needle in you to solve all of your problems because you move like s**t, have a program that is more volume/intensity than you can handle, and never do cardio is silliness.

So what treatments should you do? The ones that you like and that make you feel better. I don't care. They are probably doing the same thing.

Just understand that they are most likely not going to be enough on their own.

You won't find the one exercise you have been missing from your program on Instagram.

There's no secret pressure point behind your earlobe that will magically unlock your hips.

Finding "hacks" doesn't create long term change.

You just need to give your body quality input, consistently, for a long ass time.

Way longer than you probably want to do.

We didn't evolve for our bodies to make quick changes that are beneficial for the long term.

The more serious the injury/issue, and/or the longer you have been dealing with it, the longer you probably need to be committed to the process and keep putting in the work.

Frustrated that your shoulder still bothering you after 2 months of consistent work?

Great.

Keep going.

It might take 6 months.

Or 8.

Or 24.

Just understand that the goal is just consistent progress.

Consistent.

Not immediate progress.

Not even fast progress, sometimes.

Just consistent.

3 steps forward, 1 step back. 2 steps forward, 1 step back. 5 steps forward, 2 steps back.

Welcome to the real world 🙃.

Got pain on the outside of your knee? It’s probably not coming from your IT Band — it’s just where the symptoms are showing up.

Most of the time, this kind of pain comes from how you're moving.

Maybe your hip or foot can’t rotate the way it needs to.

Maybe your technique is off during lifts or runs.

Either way, you are loading the outside of your leg more than it likes.

Foam rolling and glute work might feel productive, but they usually miss the bigger picture.

Easiest fixes?

Learn to find full foot pressure.

Make sure you can internally rotate your hips.

Stop pushing your knees out.

It’s not about doing things the right way or the wrong way.

It’s about having options.

Lack of options = always using the same muscles, tendons, and joints the same way.

That’s means they never get a break.

More options = more opportunity to spread that load to different things and avoid pi***ng off an area.

Gotta keep your options open. Otherwise your body will make the choice for you (and do things the same way it does everything else 🙃).

Rather than looking at posture as a CAUSE of your pain, you should be looking at it as just another symptom.

Your brain has only 2 goals:

1. Survive. That means save energy wherever it can.

2. Don’t fall down. And if it can figure out a way to do that, that also saves energy, even better!

Save energy + don’t fall over + what task you are trying to complete = the shape your body takes on (aka posture).

Easy example:
Reaching into the cabinet above your head to grab something and a heavy overhead press with a weight use generally the same positions, but you will probably have very different postures during each, because you have a different goal for each.

Are you someone that is over focusing on posture?

Your brain is good at finding ways to move that are easier and/or protective of an area that needs it.⁠
⁠
Does that mean those strategies are useful long term?⁠
⁠
No.⁠
⁠
But your brain will like to keep them around anyways.⁠
⁠
Cuz it's just trying to survive.⁠
⁠
The injuries you've had in the past can have a a big influence on how you move today.⁠
⁠
This doesn't always result in things that matter or need to get addressed.⁠
⁠
But often it does.⁠
⁠
When the normal, simple stuff isn't working for your pain, it's time to branch out and take a look at how the body moves as a whole.⁠

You need to be able to recover from the training you are doing.⁠
⁠
That means eating enough.⁠
⁠
That means sleeping enough.⁠
⁠
That means setting up your training in a way that actually lets you recover.⁠
⁠
Training needs to be challenging (hence the bonus tip), but you still need to be able to recover from it.⁠
⁠
Not all pain/injuries/stalled progressed is solved by adding more things. ⁠
⁠
More is not better. Better is better. ⁠
