EBM Fitness Solutions

EBM Fitness Solutions EBM Fitness Solutions offers guidance with training, nutrition, injury rehab and prevention with a focus on technique and customized programs.

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC), a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a Certified Sports Nutritionist from the International Society of Sports Nutrition (CISSN). All of that basically makes this a one-stop shop for all the things you will need to improve fitness, rehab injuries, and improve nutrition. My background and experience make me well-adept at working with any individual who wants to achieve improved fitness and function while minimizing the risk of injury while doing so. I know when to work around injuries and when to work them to help improve them. I have worked with many individuals who were able to achieve weight-loss goals while decreasing their pain level and returning to a level of function they once thought lost. My philosophy focuses on teaching people how to move better. Once we learn to do that, we are then free to work as hard as we need/want to so we can obtain your goal(s). Part of this involves starting with the basics and teaching people how to feel the proper muscles working and to minimize any compensatory movement patterns that have developed. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Achieving any goal is about getting the right mindset, being accountable and being consistent with the actions it takes to achieve whatever the goal might be. There are many ways that we will discuss doing this to allow you to reach your goals, enjoy the process and be able to make the changes part of a new way of doing things going forward. EBM Fitness Solutions looks to build an environment with a sense of family, community, and support for one another. Ultimately, we are all working towards similar goals. We just start out at different points with a different backstory.

Generally speaking, your knees should not hurt when you perform a squat.

Often, the knees are the symptom, not the problem.

Ankle mobility issues and weak hips/glutes can contribute to knee pain.

How you set up your feet (wide, narrow, toes out) can also contribute.

Once you identify any movement impairments and find the right setup for you, squats usually start feeling better.

Time, or lack of time, is a reason why most people stop working out or never start in the first place.

I'm here to let you know that exercise can fit into any chunk of time you have available and that doing something is better than doing nothing.

Using EBM's Time-Constraint Workouts (TCWs) will help you get in, get out, and get on with the rest of your day.

The Odyssey Program.

Starting a fitness program can be a daunting task. How do you know what you are doing is the best thing for you to be doing?

If you are just starting out, you should follow a program that is designed for beginners.

The overall volume is not as high and progressions are more gradual to give your body a chance to adjust and adapt.

This also helps to ensure you can stick with the program. When program variables are all over the place in the beginning, it is often more confusing.

Too much muscle confusion leads to client confusion and a feeling that exercise just isn’t going to work.

When starting a program, fewer variables will help you focus on getting better at the prescribed movements. Randomly changing things just to change things doesn’t help you progress faster.

The secret to how ALL diets work.

Dieting is not a new concept or idea. The first “diets” started in the 19th century with some information mentioning changes in diet to help manage diseases in the 18th century.

Fasting has been part of certain religions for much longer than that.

These concepts are not new but make up a billion-dollar industry.

All diets, no matter how they are packaged and marketed follow a similar principle. It is why they might work initially and why they will all fail at some point.

Most people’s home workouts fail because they are not designed to get the most out of the workouts.

EBM’s New Year’s Muscle Program was originally designed as a follow-up to the Holiday Hustle Program.

The Holiday Hustle Program runs during November and December each year and helps people get started or stay consistent through the holidays.

New Year’s Muscle was the continuation, if you will, of the Holiday Hustle.

So, you have some pain and you go see your P*P or some other person.

They perform some half-assed assessment of the injury in question and suggest taking some medication and checking back in 4-6 weeks.

Really? That is the best they can offer?

A lot of bad can happen in 4-6 weeks when you are in pain.

If you have an acute injury and the pain lasts for say, 6 weeks. Over time, your brain develops pathways for this pain. So, when other things start going wrong (like increased stress or other things wrong in your life), the brain will revisit the old pain pathways to make you change your behaviors. This can be a main contributor to chronic pain.

Balance and fall risk: What you need to know regardless of your age

Many people complain of having poor balance or losing their balance when doing certain activities.

Does this mean they have some sort of balance disorder?

Typically, no.

Most times, there is weakness in certain muscle groups which is the main contributing factor. Actually, muscle weakness as a risk factor has a 4-fold increase in fall risk.

Highest among all risk factors.

Some days, the thought of exercising is the equivalent of walking to school uphill both ways in a raging blizzard with no shoes.

Your body feels tired and mentally you have been talking yourself out of the workout all morning.

If you have been exercising for any amount of time, I am sure you can relate to this scenario. So what should you do?

Sometimes, the body does actually need a break so ignoring what your body is telling you might not be the best idea.

Most times, you will be fine and feel much better after doing your workout.

The take-home message… do something. Motion is lotion to your body.

If you are getting wrist pain when performing pushups, you are not alone.

Sometimes, having the wrist fully extended with weight on it just doesn't work for some people.

Other times, the setup and crappy technique are more of the culprits.

I have put in the man hours in my beat laboratory to get you the information you need. No more wrist pain for you.

Get out of pain and get back to living life to the fullest.

If you are tired of following exercise programs that leave you beat up and broken down instead of stronger, more mobile and thriving then it is time to train differently.

My name is Dr. Tom Biggart. At EBM Fitness Solutions, fitness and physical therapy are blended as one in all programs.

If you are currently injured or are concerned about getting injured, a customized program can be designed for you to initially work around, and ultimately, rehab the problem.
