Primal Physical Therapy

Primal Physical Therapy At Primal Physical Therapy, our goal is to get you the kind of movement where you don't "need” us all the time to keep you doing what you love physically.

Primal movements are at their roots functional, purposeful, and efficient. They create success in a physical task, and reduce chances of injury. The demands and structure of today's world have tainted pure movement patterns, making us more susceptable to injury. At Primal Physical Therapy, we use the most advanced techniques and exercises, and tailor them to meet your individual needs. This is how we help you recover and get you back to doing whatever it is you love...faster.

The #1 reason I encourage my own parents to walk with a weighted vest?

Balance.

Studies show that walking with an added load of just 10% of your bodyweight is protective against falls in older individuals.

Why is this SO important?

Studies show older adults:
1. Have a 5-8 fold increase in all cause mortality in the first 3 months following a hip fracture.
2. Post fracture mortality risk is 20-40% within the first year of a hip fracture, and continues to increase in years following.

Big picture:

While a weighted vest may not directly improve one’s bone density it WILL improve one’s ability to respond to external forces that may cause falls - potentially preventing a life changing traumatic event .

Your body runs on watts, not wishes.

Healing isn’t magic. It’s biology.

And biology runs on energy.

Every cell has a minimum energy requirement before it can repair.

Different tissues = different energy needs.

✅Muscles? Moderate dose.
✅Tendons & ligaments? Way more demanding.

Dense tissue takes more power to flip the healing switch.

Which is exactly why red light therapy is about hitting the right power output.

Too low? You’re just warming your skin.

Hit the threshold? You activate a full-body response:

Macrophages clean up the mess.
Blood flow increases.
Cells regenerate from the inside out.

Because when power flips the switch,

Healing follows.

Want to age faster?

Then sit in the most comfortable cushion chair you can find.

But if you want the most out of your body?

Optimal health,
Longevity,
And the freedom of pain-free movement,

Start sitting the way humans were designed to.

👉 Sit using Primal Postures.

The evidence is clear as day:

Even if you crush an hour-long workout…

Those other 23 hours in a standard chair are still wrecking your health.

These positions wake up the muscles that modern life shuts down:

✅They realign your body,
✅Boost circulation,
✅And give you way more energy throughout the day.

So ditch the “comfortable” chair.

Get back on the floor.

And watch your body start rebuilding itself from the ground up.

Are all Single Leg Squat variations equal?

You bet they’re not.

So which one is the best for you or your patient?

Determining this comes from a better understanding of what muscles are prioritized in different variations, and what areas your patient needs the most improvement in at this particular moment in their recovery.

Dont take my word for it, though, listen (or watch) this episode, where I share with you the research on muscle activation patterns during different single leg squat variations. We talk about:

▫️The basic split stance squat
▫️Rear Foot elevated split stance (with a knee oer toe bias)
▫️and other variations like the pistol and shrimp squats. 👇

Key Takeaways:
✅ Split squats = quads. Single-leg squats (KOT variation) = hammies
✅ Focus on hamstrings to help with knee pain (try it before you judge it)
✅ Train tibial translation for better ACL recovery
✅ Programming tips: Match exercises to patient deficits

If you’re waiting for the “right time” to chase your goals, let this be your sign.

I spent years stuck in “someday” mode, thinking that I needed more planning to create a successful business.

News flash—planning wasn’t what changed my life—taking ACTION was.

By breaking obstacles down into clear, actionable steps—and actually taking them.

That’s why I created Primal Mentorship. It’s not about more planning or wishful thinking; it’s about giving you the tools and guidance to finally make progress.

Don’t wait to PLAN for the perfect moment—create the moment right now by taking action.

Spots are limited, and the deadline is Monday, January 6th.
