Primal Physical Therapy

At Primal Physical Therapy, our goal is to get you the kind of movement where you don't "need” us all the time to keep you doing what you love physically.

Primal movements are at their roots functional, purposeful, and efficient. They create success in a physical task, and reduce chances of injury. The demands and structure of today's world have tainted pure movement patterns, making us more susceptable to injury. At Primal Physical Therapy, we use the most advanced techniques and exercises, and tailor them to meet your individual needs. This is how we help you recover and get you back to doing whatever it is you love...faster.

Back strength isn’t just about lifting heavy it’s about ownership and control of your entire body.

This bent-over heavy KB swap trains your posterior chain from the ground up — glutes, hamstrings, and all the way up through your spinal muscles from head to tailbone.

The hinge builds capacity.
The swap builds control.

As the kettlebell moves, your body wants to rotate.

Resisting that rotation challenges your deep core stabilizers and reinforces spinal stability under load — the kind that carries over to life, sport, and lifting.

Strength isn’t just force production.
It’s force control.

Train both.

Add this move in once a week for 6-8 weeks and feel how your back tightness dissolves and your glutes go full on revival 🙌

👆This is the #1 reason I see back injuries from kettlebell swings

If there’s space between your wrists and your pelvis at the bottom… you’re leaking power AND loading your low back.

It’s not a squat.
It’s not a lift.
It’s a HIKE + POP.

Lock the wrists to the pelvis.
Drive deep into the hips.
Explode.

Your back shouldn’t be doing the work — your hips should 😉

I did this exact workout the other day because I knew I was short on time but needed to meet my daily movement goals.

Fast. Simple. Effective.💥

That’s the way I train when my day is slammed and I’m short on time.

All you need is one 15 lb med ball and about 15 minutes.

4 sets in this order:
• Jump Lunges – 20 total reps
• Wall Balls – 15 reps
• Bent Over Shoulder Raises – 10 reps
• Med Ball Sit-Ups – 15 reps

Move through all 4 sets as fast as possible with minimal rest.

You’ll hit explosiveness, whole body strength, shoulder stability, and fire up your core and spinal muscles to fix your posture…all in one intense circuit.

No fluff. No wasted time.

Just smart programming that gets results.

If you’re over 30 and sit a lot, your posture is being pulled forward all day

You can’t always avoid how much you sit.

But you CAN give yourself a fighting chance by starting your day with these 3 moves that activate your posterior chain — the muscles that keep you upright and pain-free.

✔️ Prone Y
✔️ Y to W
✔️ “Arrested” Back Extension

They target the spinal muscles from your pelvis to the base of your skull — helping reduce:
• Headaches
• Neck pain
• Mid-back tension
• Low back pain
• Sciatica

6 minutes in the morning can change how your body feels all day.

Do 2 sets of each exercise for 1 min.

Save this and build it into your morning routine.

Tweaked my back one day after heavy, to-fatigue deadlifts 😮‍💨

Lucky for me I was able to nip it in the bud right away.

Instead of panicking, I did what I always do — I explored. I tested. I moved gently into what felt tight, guarded, and “stuck”… and this twisting stretch unlocked everything.

So many of the exercises I teach come straight from my own body.

When something tweaks, I don’t ignore it — I get curious. I address it right away.

This one? Absolute keeper. 🙌

Jumping is one of the BEST things you can do for:
• Bone density
• Muscle growth
• Strength
• Power

But only if you do it right.

If you rock back onto your heels before you jump…
and collapse when you land…

You’re leaking force.

And leaked force = leaked results.

Instead think:
Collect → Explode → Absorb
✔️ Collect like you’re on a diving block
✔️ Explode through the ground
✔️ Land solid and ready to go again

If you can’t jump again immediately after landing, you didn’t absorb the force — you collapsed.

Train like a spring, not like a wet noodle.

That’s how you actually build power tha will translate in to physiological gains 💥

This lateral raise mistake is a FAST track to shoulder impingement.

If your thumb is down, you’re putting your shoulder into internal rotation… which can pinch your rotator cuff, causing it to get frayed and inflamed.

The Fix:
✅ Chest up
✅ Sternum high
✅ Thumb in line with pinky

Build chiseled shoulders without putting yourself at risk for rotator cuff pain 💃🏼 💪

Reacting to “mom pooch” workouts like 🤦‍♀️🙄.

I love the effort… but that little ab move isn’t going to cut it.

If you actually want to strengthen your core from rib cage to pelvis (and make real changes), try reverse burpees instead🔥

Grab a 10 lb med ball or dumbbell
➡️ Squat all the way down
➡️ Extend fully overhead
➡️ Explode up
➡️ Push the weight forward
➡️ Knees to chest
➡️ Stand tall

This hits your abs head to toe and trains your core the way it’s meant to work — dynamically, powerfully, and as a full system.

Save this. Aim for 3 sets of 8–10. Let me know how it goes 💪

25g protein + gut & immune support in one bowl 👇

One of my favorite high-performance breakfasts:

🥣 1 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt → 25–30g complete protein
🍯 Manuka honey
✨ Immunity Blend

Why this combo works:
✔️ 25–30g protein hits the leucine threshold (~2–3g) needed to stimulate muscle protein synthesis → key for lean muscle building and recovery
✔️ Greek yogurt = casein-rich protein → slower digestion, better satiety, steady amino acid release
✔️ Manuka honey contains natural bioactive compounds (like MGO) that have been shown to support antimicrobial activity and gut health
✔️ Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help support immune function

And bonus: it gives plain yogurt the PERFECT amount of natural sweetness without processed sugar spikes 🙌

High protein. Functional fuel. Zero fluff.

Want to try this?

Drop a “🍯” and I’ll send you the link for only manuka honey I buy (AND you’ll get a free pack of travel packs from me when you order 🤗)

Muscle loss after 30 is common.
Bone loss after 30 is common.

Being able to do a few pull ups (or even one) is a pretty badass thing for any woman over 30.

But many women never get there despite lots and lots of training with bands.

That’s because they’re training it to feed the compensation instead of beat it.

Eccentric training of pull ups on the other hand, trains the right stabilizing muscles so you can grow your strength and capacity to finally earn that pull up.

Jump.
Hold.
Slowly lower.

Time under tension, patience, and the right type of training will get you there.

Save this and train it until your first pull-up is earned. 💪
