EBM Fitness Solutions

EBM Fitness Solutions offers guidance with training, nutrition, injury rehab and prevention with a focus on technique and customized programs.

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC), a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a Certified Sports Nutritionist from the International Society of Sports Nutrition (CISSN). All of that basically makes this a one-stop shop for all the things you will need to improve fitness, rehab injuries, and improve nutrition. My background and experience make me well-adept at working with any individual who wants to achieve improved fitness and function while minimizing the risk of injury while doing so. I know when to work around injuries and when to work them to help improve them. I have worked with many individuals who were able to achieve weight-loss goals while decreasing their pain level and returning to a level of function they once thought lost. My philosophy focuses on teaching people how to move better. Once we learn to do that, we are then free to work as hard as we need/want to so we can obtain your goal(s). Part of this involves starting with the basics and teaching people how to feel the proper muscles working and to minimize any compensatory movement patterns that have developed. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Achieving any goal is about getting the right mindset, being accountable and being consistent with the actions it takes to achieve whatever the goal might be. There are many ways that we will discuss doing this to allow you to reach your goals, enjoy the process and be able to make the changes part of a new way of doing things going forward. EBM Fitness Solutions looks to build an environment with a sense of family, community, and support for one another. Ultimately, we are all working towards similar goals. We just start out at different points with a different backstory.

Should you eat differently when recovering from an injury?

At some point in your life, you are going to deal with an injury. If you are lucky, it will be minor and not limit you much at all.

The other side of that coin is you suffer a more severe injury or you get injured regularly and just seem to find ways to hurt yourself as if it was your part-time job. It’s like you have one of those rain clouds following you around everywhere.

So, should you eat differently when you are recovering from an injury? Possibly. I guess differently depends on where you are starting from. But, in most cases, the answer is probably going to be ‘yes’.

FREE Home Workout Guide

Sometimes, getting to the gym just isn’t going to happen. Maybe there is an impromptu work function, some family-related outing or maybe a global pandemic literally shuts everything down.

No matter what the reason, being able to get good workouts in at home is an ace you want to have up your sleeve.

Sadly, you probably do not have any sort of plan for home. Maybe you don’t have much equipment or you do not know what exercises to do.

Good news, I have you covered.

All exercise programs MUST start with an assessment.

You are thinking about starting an exercise program. You are ready. You are motivated and you are going to dominate and accomplish all of your goals. How do you know what exercises to start with?

Is it some random drawing by throwing exercises in a hat and pulling them out? Do you hit up the internet and find the latest and greatest to follow? Do you turn to Instagram and the girl with the painted-on yoga pants or the guy-that-never-seems-to-wear-a-shirt-in-any-video?

I mean, they LOOK like they know what they are doing, right?

As you look around the gym you belong to, where do you start? And how do you make that determination?

Your poor balance is probably not a balance issue.

Many of us know someone who seems to be a little more clumsy. Maybe they trip a lot, stumble often and sometimes even fall. Maybe I am describing you.

Occasionally losing your balance or stumbling here or there is not a balance problem.

Vertigo is a true balance disorder. Issues that involve the vestibular system (which is a fascinating system) are true balance disorders. These can be triggered by head, neck and eye movements and are often associated with nausea, dizziness and true loss of balance (LOB) which often results in a fall.

Balance is a difficult thing to quantify since it involves many systems and many variables. Your balance is maintained by a dynamic interplay between three systems in the body. In the ideal world, all three systems would work harmoniously together.

First things first. What does cardio even mean? In its simplest terms, it is anything that involves your heart and lungs. Hmmmmm. That is quite a long list of potential suitors. Let's try something different.

What about aerobics? Simply, with oxygen. It is anything that you can be performed at such a level that your body can produce the energy necessary for the activity using aerobic methods. Generally, these are lower in intensity and something you could carry on a conversation while doing.

Sadly, this is where the "Fat Burning Zone" on all those cardio machines resides. Yes, technically, you do burn more fat in this "zone". But it is a low-intensity type of activity. I mean, just sitting there ready this you are primarily burning fat as fuel. Does that mean sitting on your ass all day is the best way to reach your weight loss goal? Of course not

"Your lats (known formally as the latissimus dorsi) run from the low back up to the upper arm bone. They have the ability to create issues at both the low back and shoulder." https://www.ebmfitnesssolutions.com/training-blog/do-this-stretch-for-low-back-and-shoulder-pain?utm_campaign=meetedgar&utm_medium=social&utm_source=meetedgar.com

How to stretch your hamstrings and not your sciatic nerve [video].

Most of the hamstring stretches you have seen or tried do a poor job of stretching the hamstrings and probably did more to stretch your sciatic nerve.

The hamstrings run from the bottom of your butt to the back of your knee (basically).

Rounding your backing any way does nothing to stretch the hamstrings but starts to put more tension on your spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

Also, stretching a muscle doesn't burn. Tensioning a nerve does.

The right way to stretch your hip flexor [video].

Due to how much time we spend sitting, this muscle gets tight on a regular basis. I have talked about not stretching tight muscles before but in this case, the muscle may actually need to be stretched.

The problem arises from people butchering the movement. Instead of stretching the psoas, they are stressing other structures around the hip and low back.

The key to performing this movement correctly is the setup. If you set up properly, you have a chance. If you do not, you will feel stuff pulling but it is doubtful you will be stretching the hip flexor.

Pulling exercises. You're doing them wrong [video].

Your pulling exercises should be initiated with your shoulder blade.

And, the motion should end when the blade is done moving.

Seems simple enough but pulling exercises are often done incorrectly.

Good news. I was able to take a miserably hard exercise and make it even more challenging.

It's ok. You can hold the applause and thank me later. Let's get to the good stuff.

I talk a lot about the posterior chain (hamstrings and glutes) a lot because most people are incredibly weak in these areas and this weakness often leads to other issues that end with pain in the lower body or low back.

Improving strength in the posterior chain is a must. And if you are a person who plays a sport or does any kind of activity that requires quick changes of direction then training the posterior chain hard is necessary.

Our Story

Get out of pain and get back to living life to the fullest.

If you are tired of following exercise programs that leave you beat up and broken down instead of stronger, more mobile and thriving then it is time to train differently.

My name is Dr. Tom Biggart. At EBM Fitness Solutions, fitness and physical therapy are blended as one in all programs.

If you are currently injured or are concerned about getting injured, a customized program can be designed for you to initially work around, and ultimately, rehab the problem.
