High ankle (syndesmosis) sprain + deltoid ligament (inside ankle) sprain = more instability

But lucky for you, helps you feel more stable as you go through your rehab! So stop wearing a restrictive boot or brace for longer than you need to!

Front squats > back squats. I said what I said…

Sure you can’t go as heavy on front squats as you do with back squats, but going heavier isn’t the point here. It’s slowing down, improving your mobility, & feeling your core without needing to wear a lifting belt.

I love using front squats to rehab patients recovering with low back & knee pain (specifically meniscus sprains or patellar tendinopathy), if loaded properly & progressively.

For that reason, it is crucial to make sure that the rate of progression in your front squat volume or intensity does NOT exceed your joints & tendons’ ability to adapt.

This isn’t an ego lift, but trust me it will challenge you in more ways than you think!

Stop wearing rigid sleeves or braces that aren’t doing you any justice. not only moves with your body to ensure you aren’t limiting your range of motion, but it also gives you the support you need.

I was so happy that she felt immediate relief after taping her elbow. She said it immediately took the pressure off & it was no longer tender to the touch.

If you’re not strength training, you’re doing yourself a disservice. As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass & bone density, but lifting weights slooows that down!

If being strong as you age matters, if being independent as you age matters, if being mobile & active as you age matters, then strength training should matter too!

It’s not too late to start & it doesn’t have to be a crazy schedule. Just dedicate 2-3x/week of a full body strength training routine for 30-60 minutes. Your future self & your family will thank you!!!

Do you truly value your health in all aspects?

Have a super busy work week? Spend Sunday blocking off 30-60 mins a day on your calendar for movement each day. Doesn’t have to be the gym or a class. It can simply be a walk.

Forget to eat because you’re so busy? Pack healthy snacks or easy meals on the go the night before.

Sleep deprived because you spend hours in bed doom scrolling or binging Netflix? Treat yourself like a child & set a bed time for yourself with no technology.

Prioritize moving your body, fueling it with proper nutrition, & sleeping 7.5 hours a night. If you don’t, you’ll regret it in the future.

Stop neglecting your mobility! If you’re building strength on a sh*tty foundation, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Not sure what mobility really is & how it’s different than stretching? Then you need this class even more!

I had a patient once tell me that when I tape her shoulder it feels like the perfect hug for it, so now I can’t unthink that.
