Running Prep Part 3
Your hips need to move freely for all the ways you get around every day. As you start running faster and pushing for more power, hip mobility becomes even more important. If your hips are stiff, other areas like your SI joints or knees might try to do more than they are designed to, which can lead to pain. Plus, to move forward efficiently, your hips need to be able to extend, along with pushing off with your big toe, and your glutes gotta do their part. We’re here to help you get your hips feeling and moving right.
Happy Running!

Preparing for your outdoor walking/running season? Try adding in single leg strengthening exercises, especially calf raises. These muscles are important for many aspects of life, but especially for both running and walking but can become aggravated if loaded too fast too soon. Get a head start on your outdoor miles by starting to strengthen your calves before all the snow is finally gone. 🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏼‍♂️‍➡️

Hey there! With this nice weather finally here, are you feeling excited to get outside and get moving again? Whether you’re looking to add more steps to your day, try out running for the first time, or pick up running again now that we can enjoy the outdoors more, I’ve got some helpful tips to boost your performance and hopefully keep injuries at bay as you start something new.

Today, I want to start with a focus on your big toe. It’s a small part of our body, but it’s super important for walking and moving around. It’s actually where a lot of our power comes from when we push off to move forward. If your big toe isn’t able to move well, or isn’t as strong or stable as it should be, it could lead to injuries or cause other joints to overcompensate.

Foot Strength🦶- Part 1

Our feet are pretty amazing—they help us stand tall and get where we want to go every day! To keep them happy and healthy, they need to be strong. A fun way to start is with some toe yoga—it’s a great way to wake up those muscles in your feet. Give it a try and have fun experimenting. Who knows, you might be surprised at what your feet can do!

Constant mid back or neck tension/tightness always bothering you? Try this easy way to incorporate more extension and less flexion into the upper back and neck. Remember, your next posture is your best posture, so try to reset your position every time you hit a stop sign, a new town, or a red light.

✨Thoracic Mobility✨

Hey there! Let’s talk about your mid-back. It needs to move freely in all directions: forward and backward, twisting, and side bending. Many of us spend a lot of time hunched over at work or during hobbies, which can make that area pretty stiff. That constant tightness is often a sign that we’re not moving our spine enough in all those directions, especially extension.

But don’t worry—there are simple exercises like kneeling thoracic extensions, a modified cat/cow, and stretching over a foam roller that you can do daily. These moves can help introduce more movement into your spine and keep it feeling more flexible and comfortable!

A squat is a fundamental movement with significance throughout all stages of life. It can be effectively employed to develop strength for athletic performance, as well as to perform daily activities such as lifting children or grandchildren as they grow, and engaging in playful interactions. Additionally, mastering the ability to safely rise from a seated position on the toilet or a chair, and ensuring sufficient strength to recover from a fall, are vital aspects of functional fitness.

Like any form of exercise, squatting can be adapted to suit individual capabilities, ranging from modifications that make the movement more accessible to more challenging variations. If you are unsure where to begin, I am available to provide guidance. Together, we can identify the most appropriate approach to help you achieve your goals.

Today marks the completion of my first two months of practice, and I want to say how incredibly grateful I am for the support from everyone in the community.

Recently, I have had several discussions with parents regarding the safety of allowing their children to participate in resistance training. Resistance training encompasses the use of weights, resistance bands, or body weight with the objective of enhancing strength and/or athletic performance. Although there have been historical concerns suggesting that such training might impair growth, current evidence indicates that, when performed correctly, resistance training poses no greater risk than participation in youth sports.

Should you have any questions concerning resistance training for yourself or your child, please do not hesitate to inquire during your next visit to the clinic.
