Experiencing injury can be devastating in the course of striving towards a strong and healthier body.

In many cases, it can take days, weeks, or even several months depending on the nature of injury to recover throwing someone in pursuit of their goals significantly off path or with unexpected circumstances to navigate.

Here are some things to consider to ensure that you are training in ways to minimize your risk to injury and know where you stand.

Avoid:

* Improper training progressions (Too much too soon habits)
* Pressure to lift or perform when experiencing discomfort or pain
* Faulty mechanics with Major Movements such as Squat/Lunge, Deadlift, Push/Pull, Overhead Press
* Previous History of Injury
* Inadequate Rest and Recovery

Fuel the body with:
* Essential vitamins and nutrients
* Adequate Sleep
* Hydration
* Proper stretches and warmups prior to training
* Routine check-ins for body work and maintenance (depending on level of activity- at least once per month or every 3-6 months)

When you prioritize proper stretching, mobility, isolation work before moving into strength training, you unlock the pot...

When you prioritize proper stretching, mobility, isolation work before moving into strength training, you unlock the potential to move freely within movement without pain or discomfort and without movement being compromised.

You explore that muscles that work within a system to combat resistance are not always weak.

Sometimes the case is lack of flexibility within key muscle groups and/or proper blood flow to desired areas before progression to higher loads in training.

Additionally, you get
* Increased blood flow
* Reduced injury risk
* Increased ability to load tissues effectively within an entire range available
* And optimal performance and feel for movement

Have an amazing Friday!

What are you currently doing to prevent injury?

Taking the time to consider and implement what your body needs based on injury history, current level of mobility, intensity style of training, and risk factors such as tissue overload and improper rest from training will save you lots of worry and frustration.

One of the best advice we can give is to encourage those wishing to stay on a health track to implement some form of:

• Specific Stretch Routine

• Isolation Training

• Isometric Style Training

• Planned Rest and Recovery properly structured into programming

• Body Maintenance and Recovery Visit (at least one check-in every quarter/ 3-6 month period)

Need help with one of these, click the link in bio.

These are essentials and non-negotiables.

Having an early onset of Anterior Shoulder Pain or Discomfort?
Try these.

One of the best early methods to resolve discomfort and reduce tissue sensitivity, while actively engaging shoulders of the rotator cuff is to introduce isometrics in a safe tolerable position.
Coupled with proper rest and modality treatment such as daily ice application, these exercises can help prevent your shoulder from worsening and become more manageable for the return to activity.

Save or pass on!

As always, proper diagnosis requires seeing a licensed professional or specialist.

Happy Birthday week to my good friend, fraternity brother, and client !!🦍💪🏽

Since meeting this brother 3 years ago, I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of his journey to the NPC Mens Physique Stage and watched him show up and show out! 🔥

To know him has been an honor to say the least.

He has become an amazing support in spreading word of mouth for Evolution Therapy In Motion AND in volunteering to help with our kids Summer Youth Fitness and Mentoring Camp !! Very much appreciated.

Keep raising the bar Derek and setting the example to everyone who who knows your discipline, focus, love of the sport of bodybuilding, and your commitment to enjoy life.

Blessings.

I’m often asked the question “how often should I book with you?”

My answer is usually it depends…. on whether or not you’re having pain or ready for maintenance therapy.

At the very early stages when someone is having pain persisting > 2-4 weeks, they should seek immediate treatment for optimal outcomes.

In the state of Texas, they can go directly to a physical therapist without a referral for treatment for up to 30 days and likely have an issue resolved sooner than later, IF addressed timely enough. This could be 1 visit, 3 or 6 visits.

If it’s a chronic or recurring problem, this could take longer depending on pain presentation and clinical assessment.

For instance, an individual dealing with lumbar radiculopathy, or symptoms of numbness, pins/ needless or burning sensation radiating down the legs left unaddressed for over a year may or may not experience a longer recovery.
That person may also be at the point of needing a specialist.

Once clients do recover 🙌🏽, an ideal situation that puts them at their top performance level is to follow up every 3-6 months for regular check-ins and routine body maintenance.

We’ll perform tune ups with a selection of all of the latest custom modalities such as Dry Needling, Graston/ Scraping, Cupping, and Sports Massages and have you ready to move in no time!

FOR ALL COMPETITORS, that time is now! Before the season gets here, let’s have all of your mobility needs met.

At the root of most common musculoskeletal dysfunctions are postural impairments that contribute a large factor to one’s pain presentation.
