Weightlifting PSA part 1
Everyone 👏 benefits 👏 from 👏 resistance 👏 training 👏 (yes even you!)
🔹️Across the lifespan (aged 7-8 and up)
Including:
🔹️Pregnant/ post-partum women
🔹️People with chronic conditions (osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, HIV, hx of cancer)
🔹️People with disabilities
The World Health Organization and National Strength & Conditioning Association agree that it is both safe, and effective for you to participate in resistance training to reap massive health benefits (more on these in the future)
If you've stopped resistance training, or never started out of fear of injury, or a belief that's unnessecary, dangerous, or bad for you... please know that the overall benefits to your health and well-being FAR outweigh the potential for injury when done well

Try the Jefferson Curl to improve your back flexibility (level 1) and coordination (level 2)
Try these 2 progressions of the Jefferson Curl to improve your flexibility, tolerance, and control when flexing your spine. Although we often encourage lifting and moving with a "neutral" spine, it's totally natural and healthy to bend and flex our spine, and important for maintaining the health and integrity of the bones, muscles, ligaments, and discs that make up our spinal column. #physicaltherapy #mobility #backpain
Improve your back flexibility and coordination with the Jefferson Curl 1 & 2
In this video Dr. Jared Hutchens demonstrates level 1 and 2 (of 3) of the Jefferson Curl exercise. This exercise can help you restore normal motion of your spine and develop better coordination and control of your back. Check back soon for our demonstration of level 3, which adds a strengthening component #physicaltherapy #mobility #backpain
