I’ll just circle back 😅

If you have a tight low back when you ride your bike, try this quick test:

1. Standing with your feet together, place your hands on your thighs and bend forward
2. Stop when you start to feel the tightness and check how far your hands are on your legs
3. Then grab a foam roller, yoga bock or ball and place it between your knees
4. Squeeze the ball between your knees and slide your hands down your thighs again

If you can slide you hands farther down your legs with less tightness, it is a sign the back tightness isn’t just a low back problem.

Both your gastroc and soleus muscles are working overtime when you’re running.

These calf exercises can help them get ready for the demands of running:
- Straight knee calf raise
- Bent knee calf raise
- Bilateral/ eccentric (up on both, down on one)/ single leg variations
- Deficit (off a step) variations

It’s like a pick your own adventure for your calves!

Ottawa XC skiers — if your elbows are barking after long ski days, this is for you ❄️

All that poling load adds up, especially when the forearm and shoulder get stiff. This simple broom mobility drill helps restore movement, reduce strain on the elbow, and keep you skiing pain-free through the season.

Don’t ignore early elbow pain — it’s usually a load + mobility problem, not just “tight muscles.”

Try this after skiing or on recovery days and keep your poling strong all winter.

Most people with back pain aren’t lazy.
They’re actually trying everything.

Stretching.
Physio exercises.
Adjustments.
“YouTube fixes.”

And our patients tell us the frustrating part isn’t the pain itself…
It’s doing all the “right things” and still not trusting their body.

The real issue?
No one ever explained WHY their back keeps acting up.

They were given cookie-cutter exercises.
Short-term relief.
Or told to stop lifting altogether.

At The Movement Co., we don’t guess.
We don’t patch symptoms.
We look deeper until we find what everyone else missed — the root cause.

Because active adults don’t need more random stretches.
They need a plan that actually makes sense for how they live and train.

DM us ROOT if you’re done guessing and ready for a long-term solution.

Running is AWESOME! It’s a fun sport you can compete in, do with your friends and family or just to be able to get out in nature.

BUT if you are a runner and you want to make sure you continue to do it long term, you MUST have a strength training program that will support your runs.

Waiting never fixes anything when it comes to your body. It won’t magically get better, it gets better when you decide to take care of it.

Stop letting “soon” turn into months, or even years. Your body is a priority, start treating it like one 😊

A friendly reminder that musculoskeletal health starts with the basics. If you are skipping the essentials, your body will start to notice!

Real story: knee pain gone when we fixed how the foot hit the ground.

Rolling your lateral hip with a lacrosse ball can feel spicy 🔥

(and if you can tell by my facial expressions…mine was real tight while filming this 😅)

But the goal isn’t to “smash” — it’s to help your hip move better.

My fave tweak: add internal + external rotation while you’re on the spot.

It turns passive rolling into active drill to help your nervous system better tolerate and support the change.

Save this for tight hips after running, skating, or sitting all day!
