Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for today's Physiokinetix livestream on VO₂ max and cardiovascular performance.

We had a great discussion on why aerobic capacity matters not only for athletes, but for overall health, recovery, resilience, and long term performance across all populations.

Special thanks to Garrett and Ella for stepping up and participating in the testing demonstrations. We appreciate their willingness to be part of the process and help bring the tests to life for everyone watching.

Make sure to try the 12 minute run test yourself and send us your distance so we can discuss your results!

Research consistently shows that adults between 60 and 80+ can still significantly improve VO₂ max with structured aerobic training. Even at later stages of life, the body maintains a meaningful capacity to adapt, with studies showing average improvements of around 10 to 20 percent depending on training consistency and starting fitness level.

Importantly, VO₂ max is not a fixed marker of aging. It remains highly responsive well into the 70s and 80s, and improvements are directly tied to better mobility, recovery capacity, and overall physiological resilience.

This makes it one of the most valuable metrics we can track across all populations, not just athletes. It gives a clear picture of global performance capacity and long term health potential.

We will be breaking this down further in our upcoming livestream, including how to assess it using the Cooper 12 minute test and how to apply it in real world programming.

Whether or not you're, we encourage you to complete the test as well and share your results. This will allow us to discuss how to interpret and apply your numbers in a meaningful way.

Join us live to better understand how this metric fits into assessment, programming, and real-world outcomes.

This clip highlights a topics we will be teaching at our upcoming 3-day NARK for Head, Neck & Jaw workshop, where we cover integrated approaches for TMJ function, cervical relationships, breathing mechanics, neuromuscular control, and manual therapy applications.

The masseter is one of the most dominant muscles involved in jaw function and commonly develops excess tension and restricted movement. Using eccentric loading strategies can help improve mobility, coordination, and overall jaw mechanics while working with the natural motion of the TMJ.

Join us in Knoxville in just a few weeks for this in-depth training. We will also be Live Streaming for those that can't join in-person!

Our next Physiokinetix Membership livestream is Friday, May 15th at 2:00 PM, focusing on VO₂ max -> one of the most important markers of overall performance and long-term health.

Often associated with endurance athletes, VO₂ max is just as relevant for general population clients. It reflects how efficiently the body utilizes oxygen, influencing energy production, recovery capacity, and overall resilience.

During the session, Paul will perform the Cooper Test (12-minute run for distance) as a practical way to assess aerobic capacity.

If you’re attending, we encourage you to complete the test as well and share your results. This will allow us to discuss how to interpret and apply your numbers in a meaningful way.

The muscles and nerves around the head, neck, and jaw don’t just act locally. They influence the entire system.

The TMJ and surrounding structures are directly integrated with brainstem centers responsible for balance, coordination, and autonomic regulation. Changes in jaw position or neuromuscular tone can alter posture, movement patterns, and how the body organizes stability.

There is also a strong relationship between jaw function and the cervical spine, with clear links between TMJ dysfunction, neck pain, and reduced movement capacity. At a neurological level, trigeminal and cervical systems are closely connected, meaning input from the jaw can influence tone, coordination, and perception throughout the body.

This is why assessment matters.

When you understand how to evaluate these cranial muscles and nerves, you are not just testing a local structure. You are gaining insight into how the system is organizing movement, tension, and adaptation as a whole.

Join us in person or live-stream at our upcoming workshop in May to learn more about this and the treatments and movement protocols that follow: https://www.templehp.com/product/workshop-knoxville-may-2026/

Head, neck, and jaw cases are rarely just local.

This 3-day NARK: Head, Neck & Jaw course focuses on how neurology, joint mechanics, and movement patterns interact to drive function, compensation, and long-term outcomes. You’ll learn how to assess and treat these relationships with a system-based approach that translates directly into your sessions.

If you’re ready to move beyond isolated techniques and refine how you approach complex cases, this is where that shift happens.

Paul had a great weekend working through upper body integration with a strong group of practitioners.

This course focused on improving how the shoulder, rib cage, thoracic spine, & surrounding areas coordinate... moving beyond isolated treatment to more effective, system-based application.

We appreciate the level of focus and effort everyone brought to the table.

If you missed this one, more courses are coming up soon, including our head, neck, and jaw training later in May at our facility in Knoxville, TN!

Atlanta Workshop -> This Weekend!

Our course, Bridging the Links: Upper Body, centers on the integration of the shoulder, thoracic spine, and cervical regions, with an emphasis on improving assessment accuracy and translating findings into effective, active therapeutic and self-care interventions.

We’re grateful to be hosted again by the Georgia Massage School, where we’ve been running courses for the past several years.

A few spots may still be available for last-minute registration. We’d love to have you join us. Can't make it? ... We have a great Head, Neck, and Jaw course up in Knoxville at the end of May!

Not Every Problem Belongs on the Table.

Manual therapy & Massage has value ... but the research is clear: its effects are often short-term and best used alongside active strategies, not as a standalone solution.

Acute pain and frailty aren’t just tissue problems ... they represent a loss of load tolerance, coordination, and system capacity. If we never challenge those systems, we never truly restore them.

For certain populations ... especially more fragile or neurologically involved clients, the right input isn’t more passive work… it’s the right kind of progressive, supported movement.

This doesn’t replace the table.
It refines when, and why, you use it.

Because effective care isn’t about doing more…
It’s about doing what the client actually needs.

Join us 4/17 @ 2pm in our members program as we talk more about this and show active protocols to integrate into your practice!

Acute pain and frailty are often managed too passively ... yet both are fundamentally tied to a loss of load tolerance, neuromuscular coordination, and system-wide adaptability.

In this Live Stream, we’ll work through a structured off-the-table strategy designed to safely reintroduce load, restore positional control, and improve movement confidence in real time. By applying precise, graded inputs, we can influence both mechanical output and neurological response, creating meaningful change without excessive stress.

This is about giving your clients a clear, repeatable pathway forward ... bridging the gap between symptom management and functional restoration.
