Back Pain: What’s at the core?

Back Pain: What’s at the core?

Back pain can be related to your core. There I said it. I am 100% sure you have heard of “deep core muscles” before. But do you really know what they are? Before you say yes, many people (including highly educated folks within my own industry and the medical community at large) don’t know what “deep … [Read more...]

How to Avoid “The Agony of The Feet”

A few weeks ago, my client Blake came in for his weekly session with a new complaint- his feet were “killing him!” (And his back wasn’t so great either.) I took a look at his shoes. They were a brand new pair of supped-up, stiff-as-a-board cross-trainers. And boy were they supportive! They even had … [Read more...]

5 Good Reasons Why THIS Is The Best Exercise

Last week, I had a new client who came in with chronic low back pain. He has a job that tends to keep him at his desk or in his car, and he feels he is not getting enough exercise with the home program he is doing for his back pain. So he asked about adding in some “cardio.” When I suggested … [Read more...]

Bye Bye, Tight Hamstrings!

My client Rob is a 6’3” former basketball player who consistently struggles with tight hamstrings.   His full-time job as a realtor means that most days of the week, he drives people all over town to find their dream home.  Because he spends so much time crammed in the car in a folded-up position, … [Read more...]

How Those Red Ropes Relieve Your Back Pain

I recently met a new client whom I will refer to as Barbara. When Barbara walked in my office for the first time, she saw exercise balls, bands and stretch tables -- pretty standard fare in any fitness setting. Then she stopped and stared, and pointed at the ceiling. A puzzled look came across her … [Read more...]

Beating Back Pain for Tennis

You know that Annie song, “You’re never fully dressed without a smile?” Well, sometimes it can be hard to smile when your body is in pain or discomfort.  As you know, pain is very subjective and personal.  It’s hard to define what your own pain feels like, but you know that it’s real, and if not … [Read more...]

Go “Head First” to Improve Posture: 3 Exercises

“Sit up straight!” was a mantra I heard throughout my young life. As a young equestrienne, I had riding instructors as well as both my parents reinforcing this message on a daily basis. As annoying as it was then, there are many days I wish I still had those daily reminders. Modern life is full of … [Read more...]

5 Plank Pitfalls –Are you doing them correctly?

5 Plank Pitfalls –Are you doing them correctly?

The plank. We have felled trees to make them, built fences and houses out of them, grilled salmon on them, and some unlucky men have even had to walk them.

3 Quick Tips To Loosen Up Your Back After A long Day At The Office

In my last article, I outlined a few generalities that I see a lot due to our busy and, sadly, more sedentary lives.
