EBM Fitness Solutions

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.

There is no shortage of diets and workouts on the internet, so why do people struggle so much?

The reality is that knowledge does not equal results. Seeking out more information hoping to find the “one thing” that you are missing will only delay you actually reaching your goals.

While I am a big proponent of education and knowledge, at some point you have to actually apply the knowledge and do something. Anything.

Action, even if it is not perfect, will serve you better than just learning more information.

Neck and Shoulder Rehab Guide [FREE download].

Neck and shoulder pain are fairly common once we reach a certain age but the pain is not necessarily age-related.

The age component is more about the time spent doing a list of bad things that lead to pain and dysfunction.

The good news is the issues are fixable and it is possible to get out of pain and restore your previous level of function.

How does posture get so messed up?

Posture is an interesting topic to discuss amongst clinicians.

Some think it causes all sorts of issues.

Others dismiss posture's role in many neck and shoulder ailments.

The problem is people are arguing over "ideal" and "normal" posture instead of helping people get better.

There are a series of things you can work on to improve your posture and as you do this you will often remedy a lot of neck and shoulder issues at the same time.

Always remember that posture is a learned behavior. It doesn't get "bad" quickly and it won't fix quickly.

Tired of dealing with chronic low back pain? [video]

Low back pain is complex.

No one thing is going to resolve your back pain so stop looking for it. If you truly want to resolve your pain, you will have to tackle this on multiple levels. This means you will have to:

strengthen some areas
stretch others
change how you sit
change how you move
change how you lift
change how you bend
spend time focusing on movements that you have been doing for a long time and routinely do not think about

You will expend as much mental energy as you will physical energy to resolve your back pain.

Are you dealing with shoulder and neck pain? [video]

In many cases, shoulder and neck pain are symptoms and not the actual problem. If only treat the area that is in pain, you will never resolve the issue.

Too often, a part of the body is not properly assessed for its role in both neck and shoulder pain. The thoracic spine. It is the fancy piece of real estate between the neck and the low back.

The article explains in detail how issues at the thoracic spine can manifest as shoulder and/or neck issues.

Why tight ankles can cause knee pain. [video]

A common situation in the body is one where your pain and the actual problem are not the same part of the body. One of the reasons people deal with chronic pain is that they only treat their symptoms and never address the actual problem.

One of the more common limitations that happens when you are sedentary or exercising incorrectly is ankle tightness, also known as ankle hypomobility.

This is not just something you stretch away with some half-assed stretches. The actual joint is restricted and does not move like it needs to. The motion that is often restricted is known as dorsiflexion.

When you lack adequate dorsiflexion, the knee gets pushed into a position that it is not meant to go and madness ensues.

5 best strategies to manage low back pain.

Low back pain (LBP) is common. Way too common. Treating it is difficult as there are often many factors contributing to your pain. The strategies I am going to share are meant to improve your situation. At worst, they should do nothing, meaning they will not make it worse.

While I cannot guarantee these will resolve your LBP, I have had great success using these strategies to resolve LBP with my clients and patients.

The one commonality to those that did well? They did their homework!

If you do not follow the plan, it can’t work. This is true of any rehab plan, training program or nutrition strategy. You have to be willing to put the time in and change HOW YOU DO THINGS.

5 best ways to improve shoulder pain.

The shoulder joint is inherently unstable by its design. It is classified as a ball-and-socket joint but it more closely resembles a golf ball sitting on a tee.

These ideas work best for chronic shoulder pain. If you recently hurt your shoulder, I would not start messing with these strategies unless you have been evaluated and they are indicated for your rehab.

While I cannot guarantee these will resolve your shoulder pain, I have had great success using these strategies to resolve shoulder pain with my clients and patients.

The one commonality to those that did well? They did their homework!

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.
