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.

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.

Let’s get your body moving the way it’s meant to. 💪

Your glutes aren’t “asleep.”

Your spine isn’t “weak.”

Your nervous system is just playing defense.

And if you want lasting change,

You can’t just stretch harder or lift heavier.

You’ve gotta change the input your brain is getting.

Training in a position like this fires up your entire posterior chain - and feeds your body’s neural patterning.

Now, when you take this position and stack four powerful layers on top? Your body is as good as gold.
✅ Spinal extension
✅Trunk Rotation
✅ Anti-rotation control
✅ Shoulder stabilization

Each one sends the same message to your brain:

👉 “It’s safe to move. You’re in control.”

And once your system believes that?

The tightness…
The pain…
They start to fade.

Not because you “fixed” your glutes or your spine,

But because your body finally feels safe enough to move the way it’s meant to.

That’s what training smarter really means:

Stop chasing symptoms and start speaking your body’s language.

Success can’t be bought...only rented.

AND - It always goes to the highest bidder.

Miss a payment,

And you’re out.
Excellence doesn’t care about your highlight reel.
It only asks:

“What did you pay today?”

I’m so grateful to be able to spend time with and learn from leaders like and - who lead by example in this very concept.

Jameer’s work ethic and commitment to growth has been evident throughout his entire career- both as an athlete and now as Assistant GM for the Sixers.

The truth that he’s lived by?

Success isn’t something you win,

It’s something you rent one day at a time.

And the price?

It’s everything others are not willing to give.

Every choice.
Every rep.
Every decision.
Every “I don’t feel like it” turned into “I did it anyway.”

That’s what keeps you in reach of your goals.

So what’s your next step towards success?

Save this post.

Then tomorrow? Time to pay up again.

Bid higher and earn your spot again.

P.S. Catch the Sixers game tonight and see Jameer’s and the rest of the team’s leadership in action.

Go Sixers! 🔥🏀

YOU CAN DO A SHRIMP SQUAT.

Most people avoid THIS exercise…

But what seems like an “impossible” move,

Is one of the most powerful ways to bulletproof your knees,
Unlock strength you didn’t know you had,
And build next-level control,

All on one leg.

One of the first things I look for when assessing knee mechanics is simple:

👉 Can you comfortably control your knee over your toe during a step-up or step-down?

If the answer is NO,
That’s a SIGN that you NEED this move even more than you think.

It means your body is compensating,

And those compensations WILL set you up for pain or injury down the road.

Worried it’s not attainable for you? Don’t let that stop you.

Here’s how to work towards nailing it:

✅ Reach your arm forward to stabilize
✅ Only lower as far as you can with good form
✅ Drive your knee over your toe to build strength and joint health
✅ Keep your heel flat as you descend

It builds strong, resilient knees that move well under load,

And with the right regressions,

Anyone can master it.

Still hesitant to try it?

👉Check out our Primal Playbook App, where I have full programs that will train and improve movement deficits,

Your body will thank you.

Most red lights mean STOP.

This one means GO.

Go heal.
Go move.
Go live pain-free.

But the thing is…
Not all red light is created equal.

Panels? They’re fine for surface-level wellness.

But when it comes to muscle tears, tendon injuries, bone stress, or nerve pain,

They don’t go deep enough.

A Class IV laser does.

With concentrated power that reaches your cells, flips the repair switch, and gets you results in a fraction of the time.

Both have a place.

But if you want to stop wasting time and start truly healing…

You need to know which red light means GO for your body.

A weak grip doesn’t lie.

And it doesn’t care about your ego.

Grip strength is a longevity marker.

Linked to full-body power, endurance, heart health and even lifespan.

Why?

Because grip = nervous system output.

It’s your whole body saying, “We’ve got this.”

So if you want to train the signal,

Without the shiny gear,

Try these farmer carry variations:
✅ Basic Farmer Carry
✅ Front Rack Carry
✅ Offset Carry
✅ Overhead Carry

Strong grip = strong under fatigue.
Under load.
Under pressure.

Watch the full episode on YouTube,

Where I break down how to build your grip strength train it to keep your body resilient for decades to come.

Ever wonder why your “back day” isn’t fixing your posture or power?

It’s because most people pull without purpose.

The Split Stance Bent Over Row changes that.

This isn’t just another upper body move,
It’s a full-body stability drill disguised as a row.

Your core fires.
Your hips stabilize.
Your spine learns to stay strong under tension.

Every rep teaches your body how to move as one connected system,

Not just muscles working in isolation.

Oh no, it’s more than that.

This move demands control, coordination, and connection.

Save this one for your next workout,

And feel the difference between pulling weight and owning movement.

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

Tune in on YouTube and Spotify to watch!

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.
