Got yard work on your weekend to-do? Let’s talk yard work mechanics! 🪏🌷👨🏻‍🌾

At CSSC, we approach yard work mechanics very similarly to the way we approach lifting in the gym 🏋🏼‍♀️

❌ Bending over at the waist puts a lot of stress on your lumbar spine, especially if you have to reach far away from you while weeding and mulching.

Instead…
✅ Use a kneeling or half kneeling position to keep yourself low to the ground and close to what you’re working on. You would never carry groceries inside holding the bags far out from your body, so why would we do that with lifiting or doing yard work? The closer an object is to our center of gravity = the easier it is for use to control it, making it safer for your body
✅ Hinge from the HIPS to bend and reach! Using our hips to bend helps to load our glutes and reduce stress on our low back muscles.

If you have questions about yard work mechanics OR you’re feeling flared up from doing yard work, reach out to the office! 📧

Doing yard work this weekend?? 🌷🪏👨🏻‍🌾 Make sure to start with this warm up!
You wouldn’t go into a workout with a proper warm up, right? (If you answered no to that, let’s talk…) Doing yard work often involves a lot of hinging, squatting, lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling twisting, and getting into some awkward positions. It’s important that you warm up before getting into those movements! Try this out before you do your weeding, mulching, or mowing this weekend:

2-3 sets
🪏Thoracic Spine Rotations, 8-10/side
🪏Leg Swings, 8-10/leg
🪏Hip Rotations, 5 forward + 5 backward/leg
🪏Hip Hinges, 8-10 reps

Now you should be warmed up and ready to work! If you have any questions or have a flare up after yard work, reach out to the office!

🛌 Is your pillow use causing your neck pain? 🙇🏼

☁️ Tucking your chin to your chest or folding/stacking up multiple to prop your head up as shown in the video can lead to neck pain and stiffness in the mornings.

☁️ Just like our overall sleeping position, we want our neck position on our pillow to be as close to anatomical position as possible. This means neutral head positioning with your ears in line with your shoulders and no head tilt to either side.

☁️ Adjusting your pillow(s) to support this position can play a huge role in managing neck pain.

☁️ If you have any questions about what type of pillow to use and how to best support your personal sleeping position, don’t hesitate to ask the docs during your next visit!

Footwear is a common topic that the docs get questions about. Sneakers are sneakers, right? Not so fast, not all shoes are created equal! Given that the foot is the base of support for our entire body, it’s important to be mindful of what we use to support it depending on our activity! Swipe through the above post for recommendations ⏩️ and read below for some additional details ⤵️

🏋🏼‍♀️ If you’re doing strength training workouts like bodybuilding, CrossFit, or HIIT, you want flat, stable trainers to keep you grounded and supported. We recommend *not* lifting in a cushioned shoe, like a running shoe, because it doesn’t offer the appropriate stability required for a strong base! To check out out a variety of different trainers, we recommend patients visit to try on all your options!

🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️If you’re putting miles on your feet, you want cushioned running shoes to absorb impact, protect your joints, and “spring” you forward. We recommend visiting our friends at for a 3D foot scan and pressure plate analysis to determine if you’d be better off with a neutral or stability shoe and see what works best for your foot!

If you have questions about shoes you should be wearing for your sport or activity, ask the docs at your next visit!

🗣️ WHAT WE TREAT TUESDAY 🩻
🍩 The dreaded disc injury… This is a common diagnosis that presents in our office. In our opinion, disc injuries have become the “bad guy” of back injuries. They are certainly not something to be ignored, but education on the mechanism of injury and treatment for the injury is key for long term success with conservative care.
🍩 Let’s talk about disc anatomy… The disc is similar to a jelly donut: a jelly-like center (the nucleus pulposus) surrounded by layers of dough (the annular fibers).
🍩 In a disc bulge or prolapse, the jelly is pushing into the layers of dough, but hasn’t squirted through. The bulging can cause the disc to press against nerves and other spinal structures. In a herniation or extrusion, the jelly has broken through some layers and is squirting into the spinal canal and is putting pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves. In a sequestered disc, the jelly has squirted out, detached from the center, and is “floating” in the spinal canal. Symptoms generally become more severe as the jelly travels farther from the center of the donut.
🍩 Commonly reported symptoms include low back pain, radiating leg pain, numbness and tingling, or in severe cases, loss of function in the leg and foot.
🍩 When treating a disc we have multiple goals: To determine the level and severity of the injury through neurological exam, to decrease pain and inflammation, to decrease the stress on the area of injury by mobilizing adjacent regions and strengthening surrounding stabilizers, and to educate the patient on proper biomechanics to prevent future injuries.
🍩 A diagnosis of a disc bulge or herniation does not automatically mean surgery or lifelong pain. We have successfully treated a multitude of disc injuries ranging in severity and helped people get back to doing what they love!
🍩 Do you have a disc injury or think that you might have one? Contact the office today to set up an appointment.

26.3 is here! 🏋🏼‍♀️
Lots of burpees and lots of hinging coming your way. Check out this warm up, your feet and low back will thank you!

03/06/2026

Week 2 of The Open has arrived! Here’s how the CSSC docs would warm up for 26.2 👇🏻
🔥 Cardio for 3+ minutes to elevate heart rate, increase blood flow, and get WARM. A full body movement would be ideal - burpees, jump rope, ski, row, or a bike!

🤸🏼‍♀️ MOBILITY - Hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders are the main focus areas! Getting ready to lunge, hinge, sn**ch, and pull up with the following:
- Legs Swings
- Spider + Reach
- Push Up Plus (important for shoulder stability, too!)
- T-spine + Shoulder Rotations
- Band Pass Throughs

🏋🏼‍♀️ STABILITY - Glutes and lower traps need to be ready to go! Make sure to hit these:
- Glute Bridges
- Single Leg RDLs
- YTAs
- Scapular Pull-ups

🔥 Good luck athletes!

Open Season has begun! 26.1 is… Wall Balls, Box Jump Overs, and Box Step Overs 📦🏐

Here’s how the docs at CSSC would warm up to attack it ⤵️
- Cardio warm up: Bike or Row for 3+ minutes to get heart rate elevated to increase blood flow, raise body temp, and increase breathing rate
- Ankles + Hips 🦵🏻There’s a lot of wall balls in this workout! Making sure you can get knees over toes and full range of motion in your hips will help to protect your knees!
- T-spine rotations + extension 🩻 will help keep your chest tall in all your movements and prevent compensation with low back and shoulders
- Glute med activation 🍑 Monster walks, glute bridges, side planks, get those hip stabilizers firing!
- Core activation 🥫 the foundation of it all! Shoulder taps or bird dogs would be a great way to warm up core and shoulders all in one ☝🏻

Warm up, mobilize, activate, attack! Good luck, CrossFit athletes! 💪🏻

P.S. Don’t forget to cool down and stretch quads and calves afterwards! Your future self will thank you 😜
