Carbon-plated “super shoes” are backed by research showing improved propulsion and energy return — giving many long-distance runners a measurable performance edge.

However, research by Luo et al. highlights that the increased stiffness from the carbon plate can limit natural foot mobility and alter how forces are absorbed throughout the body. Over time — especially as fatigue sets in — this may shift load upward to the knee and hip.

Performance gains are exciting, but understanding how footwear changes your mechanics is key to staying healthy for the long run. The goal isn’t just speed — it’s sustainable performance.

Resisted gait is a powerful training and rehabilitation strategy that adds controlled resistance during walking to improve neuromuscular control, strength, and efficiency.

The goal isn’t just to make walking harder — it’s to improve how your body organizes posture, timing, and force production throughout the gait cycle. When applied properly, resistance enhances sensory and proprioceptive input, helping the nervous system refine coordination between the trunk, pelvis, and limbs.

With effective cueing, resisted gait promotes:
• Upright alignment
• Efficient weight shift
• Smooth, reciprocal arm–leg coordination
• Purposeful push-off without gripping or overusing superficial muscles

By emphasizing rhythm, smooth transitions, and dynamic stability, the nervous system can “find” a more efficient and automatic walking pattern.

Pain and inflammation often go hand in hand, and the overall inflammatory environment in the body can influence how well tissues heal.

At EQ, we believe nutrition matters in physical therapy. What you fuel your body with plays a role in recovery, energy, and long-term resilience. That’s why collaborating with a registered dietitian can be a powerful adjunct to any rehab plan — supporting healing from the inside out.

Recovery isn’t just about what happens on the treatment table. It’s about the whole picture.

💬 Want a more comprehensive approach to healing and performance? DM us or contact our clinic to schedule your FREE 15-minute discovery call and learn how movement, manual therapy, and nutrition can work together for lasting results.

Headaches, neck stiffness, neck pain, or difficulty turning your head can often begin with subtle restrictions in the upper cervical spine.

When these small segments lose mobility or stability, surrounding muscles tighten to compensate — leading to discomfort, tension, and limited movement.

At EQ, we use targeted manual therapy, followed by neuromuscular re-education and specific exercises, to restore segmental motion and rebuild stability in the neck and surrounding structures. The goal isn’t just relief — it’s long-term control and prevention.

Reciprocal inhibition is a built-in neurological process that helps your body move more easily during active stretching. When you intentionally turn one muscle on, the nervous system naturally turns the opposite muscle down—making movement feel smoother, safer, and less tense.

Instead of yanking on a tight muscle and hoping for the best, active stretching allows you to work with your nervous system, not against it. For example, in a bottoms-up stretch (as taught by the Institute of Physical Art ) actively engaging the quadriceps sends a signal to the hamstrings that it’s safe to relax—allowing them to lengthen more comfortably and effectively.

This concept applies throughout the body. When a muscle feels “tight” at the end of a movement, activating its opposite muscle can create a more controlled, functional stretch that actually carries over into daily life and exercise.

💬 Struggling with tightness that never seems to improve? DM us or contact our clinic to schedule your FREE 15-minute discovery call and learn how to move better with less effort.

The one-arm dumbbell row is a great exercise for building shoulder strength and improving upper-body and trunk coordination—but it’s easy to perform with compensations. One of the most common mistakes is losing stability through the supporting arm and trunk while the opposite arm moves the weight.

This exercise relies on the same foundational control as the quadruped (hands-and-knees) position. In quadruped, lifting one arm requires the supporting arm and trunk to remain stable so the moving arm can work efficiently.

If the one-arm dumbbell row feels difficult, unstable, or causes symptoms, it’s often helpful to return to quadruped-based exercises to retrain shoulder girdle and trunk stability before progressing. Building this foundation allows strength to develop without unnecessary strain.

💬 Experiencing difficulty or symptoms with this exercise? DM us or contact our clinic to schedule your FREE 15-minute discovery call and learn how to build strength with better control and confidence.

At our clinic, we see it every day—small, consistent steps in movement, posture, and self-care (even simple things like hydration) lead to lasting results.

You don’t need to change everything at once. Start with one focus, build consistency, and let those habits compound over time. Progress comes from showing up, not from perfection.

💬 Want help identifying the one change that will make the biggest difference for you? DM us or call our clinic to schedule your FREE 15-minute discovery call and let’s build a plan that fits your life.

From the DNS perspective, Bear position is a developmental, weight-bearing position that emphasizes organization and stability under load, rather than flexibility. Rooted in how infants learn to support themselves through the arms and legs, the focus is on joint centration, diaphragm-driven core control, and efficient load sharing through the limbs.

Calm, 360-degree breathing allows the diaphragm and deep core to create stability from the inside out. This helps maintain a balanced rib cage–over–pelvis relationship, keeping the spine long and supported while the arms and legs share the work.

When practiced this way, Bear position becomes an integration exercise—improving postural control, joint support, and efficient movement—shifting the focus away from forcing a stretch and toward building coordinated, strain-free stability.

💬 Curious if DNS-based positions like Bear can help your core control, posture, or movement efficiency? DM us or call our clinic to schedule your FREE 15-minute discovery call.

Have you heard cues like “belly button to spine” or “flatten your lower back into the mat”?

While these cues are often intended to protect the spine from excessive arching, they’re sometimes misinterpreted as meaning a posterior pelvic tilt or a constantly flexed spine. Over time, this can limit how well the core actually supports movement.

Ideally, core training should teach us how to stabilize in a neutral spine and neutral pelvis, allowing the body to generate support without over-tucking or flattening. This helps muscles work together more efficiently and supports better movement, posture, and load tolerance in daily life and exercise.

💬 Not sure if you’re stabilizing correctly or feeling confused by core cues? DM us or call our clinic to schedule your FREE 15-minute discovery call and learn how to build true, functional core stability.

The DNS Modified Oblique Sit offers powerful benefits for core control and efficient movement. It trains the diaphragm, deep abdominals, and spinal stabilizers to work together, rather than relying only on the larger, outer muscles.

This position promotes better joint alignment, allowing the hips, spine, and shoulders to share load more evenly. It also encourages healthy glute activation without excessive gripping or stressing the low back. By building rotational control, it supports everyday movements like walking, reaching, and turning, and teaches the body to stabilize before moving.

Because of this, the DNS Modified Oblique Sit carries over well into real-life transitions such as rolling, getting up from the floor, or shifting weight to stand. It’s especially helpful for individuals who overuse their back muscles, feel unstable through the hips or pelvis, or feel “stuck” when rotating.

When practiced with relaxed breathing and slow, controlled movement, this position helps retrain the nervous system to move in a more supported, efficient way.

In Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), transitional movements are essential because they train the nervous system to maintain stability while the body changes position—just as we do in everyday life.

One of the most important transitions is sidelying to side (oblique) sitting, a developmental milestone that typically appears around 6–7 months of age. This pattern integrates breathing, deep core stabilization, and joint centration while the body supports itself asymmetrically through the arm, shoulder, trunk, and pelvis.

As weight transfers through the supporting arm and pelvis, the diaphragm, deep abdominals, and pelvic floor work together to generate controlled intra-abdominal pressure, stabilizing the spine without rigid bracing. This transition also builds scapular and shoulder stability, improves trunk integration, and teaches efficient weight-shifting—skills that later support upright posture and coordinated movement.

Practicing this transition helps restore natural motor programs, enhance functional strength, and improve posture and movement efficiency in both daily life and sport.
