Slouching at your desk all day? Noticing increased neck, low back, or general tightness that seems to get worse throughout the day? This is your friendly reminder to get up and move!! 🚶‍♀️🏋️🧘

The physical therapists at Boulder Sports Physiotherapy get asked about posture a lot. Yes - having "good" posture is important if you are required to sit or stand all day for work; however, no sedentary posture is better than finding small amounts of movement to break up your day. It's about getting blood flow to your muscles/joints and decreasing stiffness that happens while being still (this is true for standing AND sitting all day....).

Set a phone reminder or leave a sticky note at your desk to remind you to get up and move every 60-90 minutes for even just 5 minutes. Dr. Lindsey of Boulder Sports Physiotherapy is demonstrating a few go-to exercises using just a foam roller, but you can also walk around the office, do some air squats, or have a little dance party to yourself Your body will thank you!

Feel free to comment when you take your mobility break, and share what you chose to do to move your body! 🚶‍♀️🏋️🧘

Jump into better performance and injury prevention with....well.... jumps!

Plyometrics aren’t just for people playing sports - they are exercises that help build muscle power, strength, speed, bone health, and even the health of our tendons and ligaments. Examples of plyometrics include squat jumps, speed skaters (shown here), box jumps, and jump roping.

For those going through an injury, plyometrics are a helpful part of your program as you return to higher level activities. If you are just looking to add something fun and spicey to your current routine, and are wanting to reduce the risk of injury while building strength, then try adding a few plyometric exercises 1-2x/week. The goal is to focus on proper form and soft landing, making sure to move quickly but with good quality. Start with just 5-10 repetitions for 2-3 sets, and pick just 2-3 exercises per session.

So what are you waiting for? Head to the gym (or to Camp Randall Stadium between the 3rd and 4th quarter of a Badger game) and JUMP AROUND!!! 😂😃🦵✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the "Hip Strength for Runners" event with Boulder Sports Physiotherapy and Run Coach .

We had a blast educating about the crucial role of hip strength in preventing injuries and boosting running performance. Glutes were fired and left activated, and runners came away with a deeper understanding of how to incorporate targeted hip work into their training routines.

From glute medius activation to single leg exercises, we covered it all! It's amazing what a little focus on the right muscles can do for your stride.

The great thing about having a a collaboration between a physical therapist and a run coach is knowing you have a team who can develop a plan specific to you and your goals, with everyone working together always.

Ready to address that nagging injury or develop a strength routine? Schedule with Boulder Sports Physiotherapy at www.bouldersportsphysio.com at our Boulder and Denver locations today!

🎉🎈 Wishing Dr. Lindsey the happiest of birthdays today!! 🥳🥰

Boulder Sports Physiotherapy would not be the same without the s***k, the kindness, the expertise, and the fun loving personality of Dr. Lindsey. We've been beyond lucky to have her as our top clinician in Boulder and as a very wonderful friend. We hope today and the rest of this year brings just as much love, care, and fun as you bring to everyone around you! Cheers to you today, Lindsey!!!

If you see Dr. Lindsey, give her the biggest birthday cheer (or leave it in the comments below =])!!

Trying to fit in your strength training, but feel like you don't have enough time? Try coumpound exercises!!

Dr. Lindsey is demonstrating a great single leg focused, compound exercise that combines a lunge with a single leg RDL to hit all of the major muscle groups of the lower body while challenging balance. This is a great exercise for runners, cyclists, climbers, hikers, pickleballers, or anyone struggling with an injury due to lack of hip strength and stability.

Try this exercise without weight first to perfect proper form, then add weight gradually. Start with 2-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions allowing for at least 1 minute of rest between sets.

If you are looking for more exercises like this - join us on September 9th at 6:00 PM for our Hip Strength for Runners event at (REGISTER via LINK IN BIO on EVENTBRITE). You will learn how to properly do this exercise and others as you create a time efficient but effective program for you.

Boulderthon is coming up fast! And Boulder Sports Physiotherapy is here to keep you injury free and running as healthy as possible for the big day.

We had such a fun time at the course preview day this past Saturday at with all of the marathon and half marathon runners. If you are running the 10K or 5K, make sure to come visit us at the next course preview day on September 6th!

Many of the runners who stopped by had similar types of injuries - some overuse from the high mileage, some acute pain from the accumulative load of training, and most with hip, knee, or low back issues! It's possible most of these injuries could be improved (or fixed) with focus on recovery methods and a bit more strength - specifically hip strength!

Join us and of for an evening all about hip strength for runners! Tuesday September 9th from 6:00 - 8:00 in Boulder, runners will enjoy a 5K run lead by Coach Sara and then learn some easy, simple, and super effective hip strength exercises from Dr. Lindsey and Dr. Sarah that every runner could benefit from adding to their routine.

Register for the Hip Strength for Runners event via Eventbrite (LINK IN BIO) - spots are limited and filling up fast!

Dr. Lindsey and Dr. Sarah take on Pickleball!

We had a smashing time at the new courts at in Louisville! With treating quite a few pickleball related injuries in our clinic, we thought we'd experience the game for ourselves - both for fun and for research. And boy, we’re officially hooked!! We loved getting a feel for pickleball while learning how to better help our patients who want to stay in the game (but out of the kitchen).

Playing a new sport can be a lot of fun, but it's also a great reminder of how important it is to take care of your body before, during, and afterwards. Pickleball might seem gentle, but the quick lateral movements and overhead shots can lead to common injuries in the low back, shoulders, knees, and ankles.

Whether you're a seasoned player or a beginner like us, we can help you get back on the court and stay in the game. We'll work with you to release areas of tension, strengthen key muscles, improve your balance, and create a personalized plan to prevent future injuries. Your pain doesn't have to keep you on the sidelines!

If you’re dealing with a pickleball injury, or just want to learn how to stay healthy on the court, schedule an appointment with Dr. Lindsey and Dr. Sarah at Boulder Sports Physiotherapy! Accepting new patients at our Boulder and Denver locations:

Should You Be Foam Rolling?? A deep dive into the current research says it can help!

For Rehab & Recovery: YES! Foam rolling has been found in many studies to help accelerate recovery, reduce muscle soreness (DOMS), and boost flexibility & range of motion. It helps improve blood flow and relax tight muscles, all of which allows for return to activity faster and with less tension overall.

For Injury Prevention: While scientific evidence is still inconclusive, research authors believe foam rolling can play an indirect role here. By enhancing mobility and recovery, it helps optimize your body's readiness, which can indirectly lower injury risk.

How should it be integrated into your rouinte: Research finds spending 2-3 minutes on each muscle group with a focus on working out the tender spots can help increase flexibility, decrease tension, improve blood flow, and enhance overall muscle recovery both acutely and with consistency in just 6-8 weeks. Use it pre-workout as part of your warm up and/or post-workout for improving recovery. Consistency is the most important, so find a time in the day that works best for you and stick with it!

As physical therapists, we help patients decide if foam rolling - or any modality - is beneficial for them while providing the most evidence based solutions. If you need help working through an injury and developing a plan that addresses current injuries and helps prevent future ones, then schedule with Boulder Sports Physiotherapy today!!

Mike Ahlers: Pedaling for a Cure

For years, our friend and patient Mike Ahlers has been a champion for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) research, inspired by his sister’s journey with the disease. Two years ago, he turned his passion for cycling into a mission—riding and fundraising to support critical research for FSHD.

Last week, Mike’s fight became even more personal when he was diagnosed with FSHD himself. But in true Mike fashion, he’s not backing down. This July, he’ll take on the Triple Bypass—a grueling 118-mile ride over three Colorado mountain passes with 10,800’ of elevation gain—to continue raising funds and awareness. He’s conquered this ride before, and this year, it means more than ever. Read more about Mike’s story: https://www.strava.com/athletes/589151/posts/35148870

Mike, we are beyond proud to support you on and off the bike. Your strength and determination inspire us all! Join us in backing Mike’s mission by donating here: https://www.bikesignup.com/ahlers-fshd
