Want to prevent back and hip pain while bilateral, barbell squatting?

Implement these.

Ensure that the box is high enough for full ROM hip flexion.

Let’s make your squat prep more simple!

How do you get your pain between your shoulder blades to go away and get back to living your life:

07/15/2022

Psycho-social elements very rarely cause lower back pain.

They can ENHANCE IT by jacking up your system inflammation.

This is something that doctors who don’t know how to fix back pain say!

05/09/2022

It’s not rocket science.

04/20/2022

It’s not about the pain.

It’s about what the pain robs you of.

Yes I want the hurt to go away.

But I care more about what the pain interrupts.

You’re not you when you’re in pain. Some doctors get it, some doctors don’t. We do.

You may not have had a choice when it came to getting hurt.

You do have the choice to fix it.

There are excellent practitioners, coaches, and trainers out there that can help you. I can even point you to the others.

Yes. They cost money. Most of them more than their average peers.

You may think it’s expensive to get out of pain and get healthy.

Do you know the MOST expensive thing for your body?

Not making a change. Figure out a way to get fixed.

Let me know if you need help or direction, I’m happy to help you with your options.

If you don’t take care of your stress, diet, sleep, and training load, no therapy will work.

Therapy provides you an opportunity to heal.

If you don’t take that opportunity and run with it, you will not feel better.

04/04/2022

Your training should consistently look more like rehab.

More dumbbells

More eccentric work

More end range loading

More isometrics

Less barbells

Less painful conditioning pieces.

Do this and you’ll avoid injury and train forever to make gains.

We take great pride in fixing patients that have been deemed "unfixable."

We know we aren't the cheapest option on the block. If you're at your wits end with your pain, we are the only option.

03/09/2022

I don’t blame you for wanting to try a cheaper, more convenient option at first.

Try an at-home intervention for 4-6 weeks.

Try the doctor that accepts insurance for 4-6 visits.

But don’t think that more of an intervention that hasn’t worked will somehow yield results.

Injuries are fine-sensitive because soft tissue dysfunction leads to more serious dysfunction like bone/cartilage degeneration.

For at-home interventions, check out my YouTube channel. I’m going to try and organize a program coming up for free so stay tuned.

Every person should be able to do a push-up. In fact, our strength standard is five HIGH-QUALITY push-ups.

If not, your capacity won't be high enough to prevent overload. Eventually, you will get shoulder, upper back, or even neck pain.

If you cannot, follow the plan outlined in the post:

1. Work the beginning position for 30 seconds
2. Work the end position for 15 seconds.
3. Work the eccentric or negative portion of the movement.
4. Mix in knee push-ups for technique.

As long as you keep your elbows tight, doing this twice per week will enable you to get a push-up in as little as 4-6 weeks.

Let me know how they go!

Crawling is one of the greatest "bang-for-your-buck" movements out there.

If you do it frequently, it will add strength to:

1. Your shoulder girdle
2. Your abs
3. Your forearms.

It will also add flexibility to your:

1. Wrists
2. Fingers (an important, overlooked area)
3. Ankles
4. Toes

Try crawling for a minute each day and build up from there. Watch your body change!

I'm working on some free resources that you can do on your own to help manage your dysfunction:

1. At home tests you can do to measure dysfunction
2. Movements you can try to do to improve that dysfunction.
3. A catalog of all treatment demos.

I'm trying to upload a few videos per week!

Current plans for the channel:

1. More at-home tests
2. Training demos
3. A yoga flow for maintenance.
4. Lifestyle modifications to help manage load
5. Nutrition demos
6. Other miscellaneous lifestyle things that I wish I had more time to talk about during patient visits.

I'm a few videos away from completing the free 4-week flexibility guide so I'll have that uploaded as soon as possible.

I'm also working on demos for the 12-week Lower Body and Upper Body Strength Balance programs so please wait to purchase those even though they're available.

YouTube link is in the Bio on my LinkTree, amongst other things.

ANATOMY 101: Your sciatic nerve.

Your sciatic nerve is the biggest extra-spinal nervous system structure. It's about the width of your thumb.

It exits under the piriformis and over the gemellus superior.

Because of how much we sit, this area gets compressed and the nerve can get stuck.

This will limit range of motion in the hamstrings as your body tightens up around the nerve to protect it.

If you have tight hamstrings, try sciatic nerve flossing for 4-6 weeks to see if your range improves. There's a link to my YouTube channel with a demo in the link in my bio.

If you do not improve, it's likely that you have a ton of adhesion in the area and it needs professional help to fix.

Shoot me a DM and we will see if you're a good candidate for care!
