Sit-ups are fine for exercise, but they don’t match how your body actually moves in real life.
If your low back is irritated, forcing a sit-up is often the last thing you should be doing.

Rolling to your side, bracing, and pushing up is a more functional, controlled way to get up—from the bed, couch, or floor—while still challenging your core in a way that actually matters.

Try this instead and see how it feels.

Looking down at the treadmill screen is one of the fastest ways to lose your posture.
Eyes forward helps you stay tall and stacked, avoid drifting into “backside” mechanics, and run more efficiently.

Try it on your next run and tell me if you feel the difference. 👇

A simple shoulder circuit combining thoracic mobility, banded shoulder work, and controlled shoulder CARs—great as a warm-up, finisher, or standalone movement session to keep the shoulders moving well and feeling strong 💪

Congratulations to our former intern Max! 🔥 We are excited to welcome him back in November for a preceptorship to finish his chiropractic education.

Congratulations to Maxwell Warren for being named Palmer Chiropractic Clinics Intern of the Month for August 2025!

Max was nominated by Dr. Kevin Percuoco.

The nomination said, “Max’s clinical performance has been truly exceptional. Throughout his training, Max has navigated a steep learning curve—what could be described as “drinking from a fire hose”—while managing a high-volume and often complex caseload. Many of the patient cases he’s handled would present challenges not just for students, but for seasoned practitioners as well."

"Max’s professionalism, clinical knowledge, coaching skills, and calm patience have consistently earned the respect and gratitude of his patients. His work is further distinguished by strong attention to detail, critical thinking, and thorough follow-through. Congratulations, Max—your dedication and excellence have not gone unnoticed. Keep up the outstanding work!”

Congrats, Max!
