SLEEP... is important for recovery and for brain health. Research from Appalachian St. University says working out in the morning provides a better night sleep than working out in the evening. Choose your working out time wisely!

It's not just about walking.....Try getting into the rhythm while walking to stimulate the lymphatic system to flush.

Just taking that first step towards a goal can be the hardest. Making it a small step that is easier than one big one. It works just as good to get going to changes. We are open! Call today!

Get your rehab exercises going.....so you can be the best version of yourself.

Take your motivation into 2021 to create an incredible #fitness #habit for yourself! Be positive, but test negative.

Happy Holidays! Office will be closed December 24-January 3.

Regardless of sport or position, a stable shoulder girdle with controlled mobility throughout the shoulders & t-spine is important not only for optimizing athletic performance but, equally important, for increasing DURABILITY.👊⠀
⠀
We all get the importance in @mlb & @pga or any rotational sport. But how about @nhl players being slammed against the boards? @nfl tackles? @wwe body slams? @ufc takedowns?
All equally important, particularly relative to #durability .💯⠀
⠀
Due to its appearance, I call this exercise a “Short Kneeling T-Spine Twist,” but it’s actually way more of a shoulder stabilizer/mobilizer based on the stabilizing position of the bottom arm and movement of the top arm.💪⠀
⠀
Give it a try, following my cues below & share your thoughts.🙌⠀
⠀
CUES:⠀
✅Start w/feet & knees hip distance.⠀
✅Exhale, drawing ribs in, back & down as you sit back toward heels.⠀
✅Inhale, centering right forearm in front of knees, lining up elbow & shoulder vertically. Note: you’ll need to initiate t-spine rotation to the left to align shoulder & elbow.⠀
✅Exhale as you press your forearm into the floor (like you’re pushing away & back), to further push your ribcage & hips back, creating a lumbar lock preventing low-back rotation.⠀
✅Inhale as you reach your left arm forward & rotate up in an arc until your left shoulder & elbow are aligned over your right.⠀
✅Hold for 2-3 breaths, focusing on strength & alignment necessary to stabilize the position.⠀
✅Then perform 3 moving reps as shown, exhaling down & inhaling up. Focus on fluid, controlled movement of your top scapula.⠀
✅Before repeating on the other side, do a few shoulder rolls.⠀
⠀
⚠️CAUTIONS:⠀
▪️This isn’t easy; it takes significant effort to stabilize the position—but it shouldn’t be painful.⠀
▪️If you get foot cramping/discomfort, mobilize feet 1st and/or put a pad under feet.⠀
▪️If kneeling is uncomfortable, put a folded mat/towel under knees.⠀
▪️If deep knee flexion is difficult, put a folded mat/pad between the heels & glutes to sit on/press back against.⠀

Hitting the stairs is great exercise for many! Even doing them barefoot is even better to get the foot working more, which activates much more up the kinetic chain to play. #fitness #health #wellness

It's great when clients contact me with #health and #fitness questions. Today I received an email, Greg "why am I not #running like I used to?" Well that's a pretty loaded question, but I replied with a response with asking what she was doing 3 years ago in comparison to now. Is there a difference with: 1) Sleep patterns 2) Dietary changes 3) Ferritin number 4) running and fitness workouts/plans 5) Stress 6) Rest days 7) Resting Heart Rate 8) strength ratios off for running 9) ROM lost in ankles, knees and low back?
