"Proximal stability for distal athleticism"
- Stu McGill

Or another way of saying you're only as strong as your foundation. Or imagine a cannon being fired off a battle ship, the ship doesn't move at all. Take that same cannon and fire it off a canoe. At best the canoe will go flying backwards the opposite direction, at worst it will explode.

This concept is used to rehabilitating the spine. We need to create a strong stable foundation so that we can then express power and athleticism without fear of injury.

Treat low back pain easily with this single arm carry 💪🏽

Here's a glimpse into some of the rehab methods we use here for patients that have pain when bending forward or sideways. I like using the weight between 18-26 pounds as a starting point because it reflects so many things we face in the real world. For example a bag of groceries is typically around 18 pounds, Edgar's daughter is about 24 pounds. The gym should reflect your tasks in life.

Week 3 of chronicling Edgar's Low back pain with sciatica due to a herniated disc. Week 1 he came in with 9/10 pain this week he is down to a 1-2/ 10 pain. Take a look at some of the things that worked well for him this past week as well as his updated goals 🙌🏽💪🏽

Another glimpse into how we often treat acute low back pain.

If you experience pain bending forward then in the early stages we are either going to limit the amount of forward bending you do, or we are going to teach you how to engage the muscles that resist that motion and create strength and stability so that you can confidently get that motion back.

Here is an example of just that. Edgar had severe pain last week bending forward and could only reach as far as the top of his knees. This week he could go to mid shin. This exercise requires him to hold a relatively heavy object that mimics carrying his toddler, so it is very much a real world scenario. In this example the water log is trying to pull him into forward bending due to its mass and gravity. Edgar is resisting that force and strengthening his core muscles in doing so.

Working on putting this whole series together on YouTube, but here's a quick glimpse into some of the rehab we did this week for Edgar's low back pain from a herniated disc

10/09/2025

Sadly this video cut off due to a phone call coming in and I didn't realize the camera didn't keep on rolling. But, the main point of this week two discussion was how getting imaging can sometimes be valuable even if it isn't going to change the course of care that we are on.

In Edgar's case I told him week one that based on my history taking and exam findings that I believed that he had a grade 1 disc herniation. He didn't need to get imaging at this point but in some cases it can mentally help you know definitively what's going on in your body so that you can psychologically accept it and then move on with the process.

Edgar decided to get an MRI through his insurance company (Kaiser) and the results came back with exactly what I said-- a grade 1 herniated disc and facet arthritis and inflammation.

We went on to have a bit of a laugh out the outdated recommendations they gave him: don't lift anything heavy, avoid motions that cause pain, don't sit too long, take high dose anti-inflammatories, and if he wanted a prescription for the nerve pain they could do that.

This is where my approach is different and why many others like Edgar chose to come here.

1. What is considered "heavy" are we talking no heavy deadlifts? What about his toddler?

2. What if a motion is necessary to do in his life? Should he modify? Should he avoid it?

3. Don't sit too long. This I completely agree with.

4. Medications: this outside my scope of practice but so many of our patients are looking for a holistic solution not just a prescription or band aid for temporary relief. And, when it comes to using things like gabapentin for pain we have known since 2017 and once again in 2019 and then AGAIN in 2021 that it does not work for radicular low back pain.

Trying to grow your chest? Then you have to try out this single arm cable fly variation.

This version allows the shoulder to go into full abduction ( arm out and away from the body) just like any other cable fly or pec deck machine. And, it has the ability to take your arm into full adduction (arm across the body) unlike the other variations where you run into your own arm or other handle.

This version allows you to really squeeze the pecs and focus on end range strength, areas where we are typically weakest.

Are Mondays still international chest day?

Is AI going to completely change medicine 🤔

Should chiropractor be scared that they are going to be replaced by AI in the future?

Edgar's new Day 1.

This is my good friend and patient that I have helped over the years for various injuries. Edgar reached out to me recently because he had an inguinal hernia surgery that he had just about recovered from and then unfortunately slipped on a wet surface while holding his toddler. The result was that he re aggravated his chronic low back pain. We are going to be chronicling his journey as we get him from 9/10 low back pain that is interfering with his ability to work, and enjoy his time fully with his family.

Our goals for the next two weeks is to get the pain to calm down so that he can sleep and move with as little pain as possible, start to rebuild core stability, and to teach his brain that his body is in a safe environment and doesn't need to guard or go into spasm.

19:55 and my first time breaking the 20 minute barrier on the 3 miler.

13 months ago I had knee surgery where they removed multiple bone fragments from my knee and one large inch and half long piece of cartilage off my femur. I was told by some doctors that it was just mild arthritis and just need to give up doing any physical and activities and another ortho who ended up doing my surgery that it could take multiple surgeries to repair but that I should never run again.

It's true that maybe running for me in particular is not the smart long term decision, but moments like these in life make it all worth it. Top 100 finish, top 10 age group, and a personal record.

"Every runner knows this. You run and run, mile after mile, and you never quite know why. You tell yourself that you’re running toward some goal, chasing some rush, but really you run because the alternative, stopping, scares you to death."
