The trap of traditional physical therapy…

A lot of physical therapy is the same. You go in, they ask how you're doing, and then you get handed off to someone who tells you to stop doing whatever it is that "hurt you" in the first place....

Physical therapy should be a version of strength training, but a lot of the time it isn't. We have some PT recommendations to actually help you get better.

Is taking videos of your workouts helpful?

I get it, we've all seen that person in the gym who is taking videos of every set of their workouts and gets mad if you get near the camera or walk in front of it....

Still sore after weeks of training?

Soreness isn't a good indicator of a good workout, however, it is an indicator of your recovery if it's long lasting....

Should you stretch more if you’re hypermobile?

If you've ever been told you're hypermobile, or if you're someone who has always been "really flexible," this one is for you....

A lot of hypermobile people feel chronically tight and they assume that means they need to stretch more, but that's not actually the case.

It's never too late to start strength training 🙌🏻

Carol's knees hurt less. She can get up and down off the ground easier. And she's moving around so much more confidently!

We all aspire to be Carol 😍

What does “use your core” mean?

Most people, when they think about core training, think about crunches. Maybe a plank. Maybe a SolidCore class where your abs are on fire and you can barely walk the next day....

Raise your hand if you were ever taught that back squats are bad for your knees or deadlifts are bad for your back?

🖐🏻

No exercise is inherently bad for you and no exercise is going to absolutely make you get hurt.

The thing that gets you hurt in those things is doing too much, too fast too soon, when you are under prepared.

Ease into things. Learn how to do them well. And yea, sometimes injuries happen, but as someone who has strained a muscle sneezing, that's just life.

But if you need someone to help you along the way, we've got you 🖤
