Dry needling is not the same as acupuncture. We treat the muscles, joints and nerves directly. It can be incredibly effective to release tight areas and decrease pain. It also has a powerful effect on the nervous system, often promoting relaxation after the treatment.

I get great results particularly for neck and back pain as well as headaches.

Some PTs are certified to perform dry needling so check your local area.

If you are looking for this treatment in I would be happy to discuss options.

Ps sorry if you are needle-phobic! 😀

A challenging exercise to help with balance, strength and is great for the ankles and hips.

This one bridges the gap between rehab and

Excellent prevention and maintenence drill.

Let me know how you like it.

Remember to notice whenever you feel good. I see a lot of people who are dealing with pain. The most successful ones are those who focus on progress they are making rather than what they may still be struggling with.

Mindset matters.

I mentioned this story in my book. The proposal for which will soon be submitted to a publisher. Fingers crossed.

A teenage gentleman and his 40-year old dad, both fantastic guys, told me about their gym program.

The kid said he did 30 or 40 sets of chest the last time he went to the gym. No other exercises.

Anyone see the problem with this?

A balanced program trains the entire body. Guys, we need to stop with this body part training and teach kids to lift effectively. He already has that teenager posture from slouching over on the phone and I am treating him for neck pain.

It starts now. Parents who train using full body programs have kids who are less injured now and later in life. More is caught than taught.

Let's do better!

Coming at ya with another fun, semi-athletuc power based exercise.

I recommend doing an exercise that incorporates power every week. Make it a part of your training program (assuming medically clear that is).The production of power is so important for vitality and longevity.

Go!

Dynamic mobility for warm-up, balance, and conditioning.

This one will help to open the hips, upper back and shoulders. Not saying I am great at it (after knee surgeries) but still worth working on. All of those guys who are always tight would benefit from this. Perfect before or as part of a conditioning workout.

Don't stretch before a workout - mobilize!

Dynamic mobility. Kids were playing, Dad was trying to keep somewhat mobile.

Dynamic mobility is perfect before lifting. Or they can be used as a body weight workout, a movement reset or conditioning session. I will post several of these drills coming up.

I have gone to my chiropractor twice this month. He and I share some similar philosophies.

I am trained in spinal manipulation and am a Certifed Manual Physical Therapist (CMPT) but I don't have a go-to PT who is also trained in spinal manipulations.

He does dry needling and soft tissue work and educates his patients on the importance of exercise.

I didn't wait until I was having pain. Nor should you. I had one shoulder with limited range of motion and he helped sort it out. It was a pain-less dysfunction.

This is a bad picture but you may see how my left elbow is bent because that left shoulder was stiff.
Those are the things to get figured out BEFORE they hurt. I had no idea until Julie took these pictures.

Your body is a machine and requires maintenence. Just like your car.

The Chiro i see is very smart and SAFE with the adjustments he performs and ensures I consent to it first.

Any provider you see should have a myriad of skills. They should educate and empower you.

PTs and Chiros sometimes clash. There are some in town I would definitely not work with. Over the years I have seen a few who are amazing.

The same goes for PT.. Unfortunately some PTs are not practicing at the top of their license and credentials. Patients have a choice and that is important to remember.

Providers are not all the same. Stereotypes are not always true.

A good PT will perform skilled hands-on treatment, not just basic random massage. Patients have come to PT asking for "a set of exercises" but that is BS. Generic exercises are not usually effective. These days people of course are doing what AI tells them to do. AI has never seen them move or evaluated them!

This rant concludes by encouraging you find a qualified and specialized orthopedic provider who you can see not only when you have pain, but also for self-care, prevention and maintenence.

Next month I go back to my amazing massage therapists.

Ask questions about your providers. Don't settle for less. You deserve it!
