You don’t keep getting hurt because you’re fragile.

You keep getting stuck because you’re applying a high-performance mindset to a problem that requires precision.

Doing more.
Pushing harder.
Adding intensity.

That works when you’re building fitness.
It fails when you’re rebuilding capacity.

The people who struggle the most are usually the most disciplined.

They don’t need more effort.
They need a better strategy.

If you’re tired of repeating the same injury cycle, it’s probably not a motivation issue.

It’s a direction issue.

Save this if you’re done spinning your wheels.

We see you.

You’re dedicated to your health and fitness, but sometimes it feels like your body doesn’t agree with your goals.

If you’ve already tried to stretch, strengthen, and push harder through the pain, it’s your body telling you that it’s not weakness.

Instead, you need a different strategy.

Follow along here for ways to get back to training with confidence 💪🏻

Most active people don’t ignore pain because they’re careless.
They ignore it because they’ve been taught that pushing through is the price of progress.

But pain isn’t proof you’re doing damage.
And it’s not something you’re supposed to just accept as you get older.

It’s feedback.

When you learn how to respond to it, your training starts working with your body instead of against it.

You’re not broken.
You just haven’t been shown a better way yet.

Save this if you’re done guessing!

This weekend reminded us why mindset matters.
Listening to Johnny Quinn talk about resilience, adversity, and showing up when it’s hard hit close to home.

Progress—whether in life or your body—starts with refusing to quit.

Mobility work isn’t about endless stretching.

It’s about:
• Knowing why you’re doing the drill
• Matching it to your goals
• And using it to actually change how you move

Mindless movement = temporary relief
Intentional mobility = long-term change

That’s the difference most people miss.

It’s been a tough few weeks for Dr. Aaron and his knee

But it has been a good reminder of how his patients feel when they are in pain and unable to the things they enjoy

He had a case of bursitis that suddenly got infected. Antibiotics calmed the infection but the swelling continued

It was recommended to not drain it so the infection didn’t spread. 6 weeks later the fluid remained and it got drained

The aftermath? Weakness and loss of control around the knee (see the shakiness on the 4th slide)

If he just gets back into working out without also addressing those things, he is at a higher risk of a more serious knee injury in the future

The pain is gone but the work is just beginning. Does anyone know a good rehab provider to help him out?

Most people think pain is simple.
Neck pain = neck problem.
Back pain = back problem.

But complex cases don’t work like that.

This patient had neck, jaw, and low back pain.
Treating one spot would’ve missed the real issue.

The problem wasn’t just pain.
It was how his body was moving, recovering, and handling training.

Here’s what we did:
1. Emphasized sleep and stress management
2. Hands on treatment and exercises to relief nerve pain and improve range of motion
3. Tweaked training for better recovery
4. Provided tools to improve his movement throughout the day while at work

Complex cases don’t need more treatment.
They need better thinking and a plan that fits the individual.

DM ROOT if nothing you’ve tried has worked.

Parents sacrifice everything for their kids.
Time. Sleep. Money. Comfort.

But health is usually the first thing to go.

That choice doesn’t hurt right away,
it shows up years later.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish.
It’s how you stay present now
and capable later.

Most of the problems I see with deadlifts and RDLs aren’t the exercise itself.

It’s usually a lack of usable hip motion.

Tight hips limit your ability to hinge — so your body steals motion from your low back instead.

Step one is clearing up hip restrictions.
Step two is learning how to actually use that new range of motion with a proper hinge.

This is what allows you to load the movement safely, feel it in your glutes, and stop aggravating your back.

If deadlifts never feel right, don’t just “stretch more” or lower the weight.

Save this and master it. Even with body weight your glutes will be feeling it if done right

Hands-on care opens the door.
Exercises keep it open.

That’s how long term results happen!
