Technology throws us from ideal posture and forces rounded shoulders and neck pain.

 

The banded row exercise functions to restore ideal posture by strengthening the shoulders and back while relieving the neck of chronic, debilitating tension.

 

Good Luck and #keepmoving

To someone with Heel or Knee Pain, stairs can seem an insurmountable obstacle.

Fine-tuning the Step-up can help protect the knee, heel, hip, and low back as the body uses each joint equally and as intended.

Side to Side and Spinning Movements are critical to our health and longevity, yet our technological society rarely asks us to use them.

Strong things don’t break easily. Strong and bendy things just don’t really break. The Lateral Lunge is an exercise that helps create strength and length, protecting against trauma and over-use.

A shout-out to Ms. Laura for asking about the mobility necessary to start the deadlift!

Joking or not, she raises a question that is covered on a repetitive basis in the office.  Many of my patients haven’t used their hamstrings in years or decades.  Turning on the awareness and motor control to sync lower extremity to pelvis and rib cage for good functional movement can be… ah… well… yeah… a bit of a chore!

But your all worth it, so enjoy the follow-up video.

Walking, Jogging, and Running should be well developed skills, lasting until the day we die!

Fine-tuning the front lunge allows us to understand, develop, and train the walk, jog, and run mechanic, allowing for pain-free movement for much longer than we realize.
