Primal Physical Therapy

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.

Ever wonder why some people get better faster than others?

of course there are many factors, but one of the biggest factors comes down to the exercises they are doing to support healing and prevent re-injury.

We have our patients do some crazy exercises, ones that you don’t see regularly, and ones that are sneaky hard.

Here’s a review from one of our athletes, sharing his favorite and least favorite exercises we’ve given him to facilitate his recovery.

if you are wondering what exercises you might be missing to transform your performance and recovery, follow us now and give these a try.

Grab a partner and hit this high intensity but super fast finisher.

2 sets :
-med ball rotational throws (8/side)
- 45 sec cardio of choice (we alternated ski erg and regular erg, but you could do jump lunges and squat jumps if you don’t have equipment)
- KB swings - 20 reps
- 45 sec of second cardio version of choice

and I added this to our strength circuit today - to get the heart pumping a little bit more and prime our bodies for performance.

You can use this as a finisher, or if you only have 10 min use it as a way to get your body moving all on its own!

The choice to get up and show up is always ours.

Some days, you may truly need the rest - and honoring that moment of hesitation might be exactly what you need to recover and get back after it with grit and intensity.

But many days, that moment of doubt is noting but a lie. It sneaks in and “tries” to talk you out of doing the thing that’s good for you.

But ultimately- the final choice is always ours.

I was tempted to to listen to that moment of doubt and hesitation in my head today. Tempted to crawl back under the covers and indulge in a few more minutes of warm, cozy rest.

But had I done that? I would’ve missed out on the opportunity to feed that which truly ignites my soul…

Nature, quiet, the stolen time in the morning.

Pursuing my goals, challenging my body - and ultimately, squashing anything that doesn’t serve me to continue to grow and be better - every day.

I posted this as a reminder that we ALL have these moments where we are tempted to cave in and not face the hard challenges -

but that when we choose to face and overcome them - no matter how big or how small, we will always be rewarded.

Creatine WON’T protect you from injury if you’re not training patterns like this one.

Is creatine helpful in recovery? 💯 it is. Without a doubt.

HOWEVER, If you’re not training your body with stability moves like this one and giving your body the balance it needs to maintain performance, you are guaranteed to breakdown and get injured.

What’s so special about this move?

For starters The offset load trains the spine, core and pelvic muscles in “anti-rotation”. ALLA athletes need antirotation.

Because well, every sport pretty much challenges rotational planes.

Even running, which is considered a “straight plane” motion challenges rotation because runners must resist rotation in order to efficiently propel forward.

Then look at any racquet sport, baseball, lacrosse and soccer - all require rotational stability to perform.

Combine that with the explosive demand thrusters create, and you’ve got one helluva exercise to train performance.

So should you take your creatine religiously? For sure.

But you ALSO need to train this move regularly and religiously as well- like taking a supplement - if you want to maximize your performance and prevent injury and breakdown.

What is the BEST chair to sit in while working at a desk ?

If you know me at all, you know my answer is “no chair”.

But that’s unrealistic for most people in a working situation.

This chair, the kneeling chair, is the next best thing.

This is hands-down, the only chair I recommend Patients use if they have to sit at a desk all day

The position of the chair allows your spine to stack over your pelvis and allows your spinal erectors and your core to actually be engaged -

rather than disengaged, which is why people get so stiff and posture declines from sitting in chairs all of the time.

if you are one of these people or you care about someone who has this problem, these nailing chairs are definitely on my favorites list.

Sidenote, I am getting no kickbacks or financial return on making this statement. It is simply something I want to share to help the world feel better and take back control of their bodies.

If you’re curious to learn more ways to take control of your posture and your life, follow for more :)
