Patients don’t do their home exercises.

I’m kind of tired of hearing it.

All this tells me is that a really good subjective wasn’t taken that asks questions about lifestyle, time management, and exercise history. You also likely didn’t involve the patient in goal setting, and/or do a good job explaining why X, Y, or Z is necessary to get them to their goals.

You ask the right questions and you’ll get a sense of what you can actually prescribe that your patients will be able to do.

In all seriousness, this past year was another amazing one and I have no doubt that 30ish will treat you even better! E, J, and me would be up a creek without your dedication, love, and humor.

We love you and hope you feel all the love you deserve this and every other day of the year!

The other day I heard someone say they wanted to keep back squatting because they can move the most weight and get strong legs.

Now while I don’t disagree that you can get strong legs back squatting, I whole heartedly disagree that back squatting allows you to move the most weight.

Why?

The biggest limiting factor in most people’s back squats is really their backs not their legs.

So what happens if you take your back out of the squat?

Enormous gains.

Why?

If you can back squat 250lbs for 5 reps, you can likely perform a rear foot elevated split squat (RFESS) with much much more.

Let’s do the math.

If you split 250 by 2 you get a 125lbs REFESD. This is 62.5lbs in each hand. This is absurdly low for someone who can back squat 250lbs. Chances are you can do more like 90lbs in each hand for 5 reps.

That would be like squatting 380lbs!

So to get stronger legs you have to move
more weight with them, and RFESSs allow you to do this!

And before you tell me that squatting is a great core exercise, I will tell you I agree. BUT if the only core exercises you are doing are deadlifts and back squatting you are leaving enormous amounts of athleticism on the table because you aren’t training in the transverse plane.

In defense of 3 sets of 10 reps

I’ve been called a lazy, bad therapist, who “if your therapist does this run out the door” lately.

Not directly, but by a bunch of practitioners on social media who say that prescribing 3 sets of 10 reps for exercises is all these things.

Guess what?

🙋🏻‍♂️I do that literally every day.

Why is prescribing 3 sets of 10 lazy?

I’m sure these well meaning social media therapy gurus mean people who only prescribe 3x10 for everything always, which I definitely don’t do, but this isn’t the message that comes across.

This can be kinda damaging to therapists, and confusing AF to patients.

How so?

Well, say Sally sees one of these posts and needs therapy. She goes to her therapist and he takes an unbelievable subjective interview and does a thorough evaluation. Based on his findings he sees that Sally is inordinately weak and atrophied in her [whatever muscle you want to talk about] and her therapist says she need to do 3x10 of 2-3 certain exercises for this dysfunction to help.

See how that can be damaging yet?

Now Sally thinks her therapist is lazy and loses confidence in their ability and basically stops doing her home exercises even though 3 sets of 10 are clinically proven to improve strength and atrophy.

Sally then tells her friends and family when she doesn’t get better because she didn’t do her exercises that her therapist is a no good poopoo head therapist and no one should ever go to them because they are lazy.

I treat LOTS of people with Sarcopenia. It’s just a result of where my practice is and who refers to me based on word of mouth. These people need a program that will build strength and improve muscle mass.

Guess what?

3x10 does this. So does 2x10, or 4x12. It’s all just part of the same set and rep range that has been studied and shown to improve strength and build muscle mass. That’s 2-5 sets of 8-12 reps for those of you watching from the sidelines.

The hardest part is showing up…

You know what you need to do. The toughest part is getting your shoes on and getting out the door (metaphorically, or not).

Just go do the damn thing.

This video explains what I recommend you look for when choosing a running shoe.

It all boils down to comfort, but there are a few things you should take into consideration before you even slip a show on your foot.

Here’s what i look for:

1. Shaped like a foot - first recommendation. Before you even put a show on ask yourself does this look like MY foot. If you have a narrow foot you can likely get away with any running shoe. But a normal width or wide foot needs a wide shoe and the toe box definitely needs to look like a foot.

2. Comfort - now that you’ve found some options that look like the shape of your foot, now you can try them on. All this research into footwear over the years had led us to one definitive conclusion in picking out shoes and reducing injury rates in runners. If you feel like the shoe is comfortable, then you will be less likely to get a running injury. You read that right.

So even if you’re a heavy pronator and been told you need motion control shoes and you try on a high cushioned shoe and it feels amazing, go with the cushioned shoe. That’s really what matter most. COMFORT.

3. Build - this video address the break test to make sure that the toe box “breaks” where the toes extend. Also, you wanna make sure that the shoes sit flat on the ground or a table when looking at them behind.

This tends to be an issue with shoes purchased at discount stores. I encourage you to do your due diligence when shopping first shoes at these stores.

4. Style - Of course they need to look 🔥

Follow up to the jacked up foot pic

Get your foot out of shoes that make your toes look like triangles. ⚠️

There were some questions about what shoes people “should” wear after that picture.

Honestly, whatever is comfortable, but make sure it’s the shape of your foot. 🦶🏼

See even the emoji people know what shape a foot should be.

If your shoes come to a point at the front it’s unlikely your feet will do well in them in the long run.

Find a shoe that looks like a foot. There are more and more bands that’s fit this mold. I like , , , , and .

Lots of people like to remind me that bunions are hereditary. Great so are some cancers, but it doesn’t mean you’re going to get them. You’re environments play a big part in our health and this goes for orthopedics too. If you cram a foot that is more likely to bunions into a shoe that shapes your foot to look like bunions, guess what?

Self fulfilling prophecy?

If you give it a chance at not getting bunions by wearing certain footwear and staying strong in your feet and legs, you’ve got a fighting shot at not getting them. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Anywho, watch the video. Learn a little bit.

Why is a physical therapist telling you this stuff?

Because I care about your overall health.

The foods we put in our bodies are what we are made of. They are the energy we need, the building blocks of our HEALTHY tissue, and a source of enjoyment.

We need to start reframing our relationships with food as well. As you can tell, I love myself some 🍞. I don’t stress about eating carbs or fat. I just eat in a way that fits those in, along with a s**t ton of protein and veggies, to maintain my health.

Food provides us with enjoyment, stress relief, and support. These are things we need to maintain health as well. I am in no way saying go binge on Doritos or smash a whole sheet cake into your face. But there is no need to cut out the foods you want to MAINTAIN a healthy lifestyle. But sometimes to get BACK into a healthy status we need to put these foods on hold, and that’s okay too.

Sure, I feel best when I am not eating a ton of this stuff, but that’s me.

carb cycling is NOT a weight loss diet. It’s just a way of eating that allows you to eat carbs, and fats, and proteins while getting striving to achieve your health or as the tic goals.
