✨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. Whether it’s trusting me with your care or sharing the news about me starting to practice here—every little bit means a lot. Thank you so much!

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.

While training to achieve a specific appearance is not inherently negative, I prioritize exercise to enhance daily functioning and promote long-term well-being. Whether designing personalized programs or providing patients with targeted exercises, my goal is to help individuals improve their mobility, foster better movement patterns, and maintain independence over time.

Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)

The SFMA is a movement screening tool that we may use during your visit to the clinic. It is a brief assessment designed to help identify any areas where your body may not be moving as efficiently as possible. If needed, we can explore whether any movement limitations are related to joint or tissue restrictions, or if they might be influenced by other factors.

Please feel free to schedule an appointment, and we would be happy to guide you through the movement screening process and discuss steps to help improve your body’s movement.
