Coming down to the wire.

Don't let them go to waste.

Go get that massage.

Get adjusted.

Get some mobility drills for that achey hip.

You've already paid for them. Use them.

We start with things that may be mentally challenging more than physically challenging so you can learn how to do them well.⁠
⁠
We want you to be so good at it that you don't have to think about it when we start to add weight, speed, or more reps.⁠
⁠
If you feel like you start to lose it.....no worries! Just got back to your awareness and control focus, then add from there as you get a handle on it.⁠
⁠
Recovery is never a straight line, and you may have to backtrack at times in order to keep moving forward.⁠

Only laying on a table won't get you back to doing the things you want to be doing.

Eventually, things need to get out of the treatment room and into the gym.

And's it's not all about strength.

Learning rhythm, coordination, timing matters.

Knowing WHEN to create force is just as important as HOW MUCH force you can create.

What is the most useful way you have found to "find" and/or brace your core?

Comment below what you have been taught, and what has been most useful for you.

There are many ways to do it, and all things work for some people, and nothing works for some people.

We have our own way of doing it here (and it's stupid simple), but I want to know what works for all of you!

Rebuild is our small group rehab membership.

It’s designed for that stage in rehab where you are good enough to do a lot of the work on your own, but you still need the regular feedback of your physio to make sure we keep things on the rails.

We cap each rebuild session at 3 people, so you will still get plenty of 1-on-1 time with a physio at each session

Think of us as your Google Maps. We’ll be guiding you with a full program, and provide regular adjustments based on what shows up in front of us.

No more guessing what you should be doing at the gym, or monotonous “physio exercises” as your only workout.

Direct access to your physio through our training app helps you stay in contact and ask questions when you need, at the click of a button.

It’s like having us in your pocket.

Interested in learning more?

DM us “rebuild” and we can send more info your way (and it’ll actually be me sending it, as I don’t have the automation set up yet to do it for me 😆).

Not all clinics are created equal.

If you are looking for an active approach to rehab that gets you (and keeps you) training, we got you.

External Rotation is an important component of the front rack position.

This is a great circuit we like to use to get better at actively accessing the ranges you need for a comfortable front rack (well….as comfortable as front rack can be).

Hit this for 3 rounds, 2-3 times per week for a few weeks and see where things go!

Reaching your arms forward so your shoulders move forward is NOT rounding.

Your chest facing the floor and shoulder coming up towards your ears IS rounding.

Not that rounding is bad, but completely avoiding shoulders going forward isn't doing you any favors either.

Holding your shoulders back all the time may even be a big part of the reason for your pain when you're at the gym.

Your shoulders are allowed to go forward a lot of good things happen:

- Your shoulder blades can get flat against your rib cage, helping to stabilize your shoulder and improve range of motion (that means less neck involvement).

- Your diaphragm and your pelvic floor can face each other, and pressure management (i.e. bracing) and feeling the things you want to feel gets a whole lot easier (abs and glutes for the people in the back).

- Balance gets easier because the heavy guts floating around in your midsection get more centered over your feet. That means less focus on stabilizing and more focus on just doing the thing.

Your upper back is SUPPOSED to look rounded, that is it's natural shape 🙃.

Reach your arms forward, then get tall (neither of those things should be done aggressively, don't turn the setup into an exercise).

There you go.

Free the scaps.

Time is running out on the year.

If you are looking to start taking care of that pesky shoulder, cranky knee, or stiff back before things get hectic around the holidays, we only have 7 open spots left in November!

Stop waiting 👀

Pain doesn't always means stop. Especially tendon pain.

The key is really to slow things down, so that you can maintain constant tension on the muscle AND the tendon.

If it feels better as you go, you are in business.

NEXT DAY PAIN guides you on how well you tolerated the work you did the day before.

If it felt fine during the workout, but you hate your life walking down the stairs the next morning....that means you did more than what you are able to handle at this point.

Next time, keep the same intensity and speed, just lower how much you do by 20-30% and see what happens that time.

Fixing tendon problems tends to look a lot like bodybuilding for the majority of it, then once it has calmed down enough we incorporate more and more dynamic/impact things to build tolerance to it.

Just doing Kegel's does not count as doing pelvic floor rehab.

Especially when post-partum.

Learning how to squeeze some muscles is one thing, but learning how to integrate that into squeezing the right amount and at the right time based on the activity you are doing.......totally different thing.

Thinking Kegel's alone will fix your pelvic floor issues is like training only your grip, and then being surprised when your deadlift isn't any stronger.

First we isolate and learn positions.

Then we integrate into movements.

Then we challenge those movements through increases in load, speed, and time.

Looking for pelvic floor rehab the Apollo way?

Simone's schedule is available on our booking page, starting on November 20th...
..but you can't book that day, because it's already full.

So stop dilly-dallying.

What do all of these people had in common?

1. They were looking for an approach to their injury rehab that was focused on their active goals, not just on getting out of pain.

2. They want an approach that takes them as a human being into consideration, not just focused soley on their injury like they are a car that needs new parts.

3. Adaptability is important to them. Things don't always go to plan, and being able to adjust on the fly and still get the desired outcome of the session is extremely useful.

4. They want to understand, not just blindly follow directions.

Thankful to have so many people in the community that trust us enough to sends their friends, family, and clients to us.

Very excited about the team we are growing so that we can help even more people.

Do these people sound like you?

Then book a free call with us so we can talk about what you have going on, and see if we are a good fit.
