Your knees shouldn’t hurt when going down the stairs. This client is a high level athlete who has to perform a ton of plyometrics, in repetitive sequences which aggravated the patellar tendon connecting to the shin bone. It’s also a very common repetitive strain that is seen in runners, and jumping exercises. I see you CrossFit. 👀 👀👀. Treatment can vary, from modification, eliminating any activities that worsen it(just temporarily), OTC anti inflammatories if ok with MD, and of course physical therapy with a home a home exercise program.

What is a trigger point?!?
Welp, the long answer short, is a muscle knot....the more technical definition is as follows ....
“Sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse. These sensitive areas are called trigger points. A trigger point in a muscle can cause strain and pain throughout the muscle. When this pain persists and worsens, doctors call it myofascial pain syndrome.”
Good news is, there are many ways, involving tools, techniques and medicine to release these painful restrictions, like cupping, dry needling, ultrasound, active release, massage etc.

A shoutout to who donated the Buddy to . This is just an example of what may help to release your fascia when you can’t readily find a therapist that does any of the above. It may look a little scary and feel a tad awkward to use especially when used in the company of others (😆) but I think It can help release the tissue.

Nothing that a face peel, Cupping and Dry Needling won’t fix. I adore multitasking, especially when It finally includes some self care/self love. I spend most days taking care of others and I forget to address my aches and pains. If we don’t secure our own oxygen masks firsts, how can we really help others. It’s not selfish to create space to do things that make you feel better nor should you feel guilty about It. You’ll be a healthier AND happier person, spouse, friend, daughter/son, employee, entrepreneur, boss, parent, girlfriend/boyfriend, etc. So get yourself an appointment that leaves you feeling better, stronger, healthier, happier, more flexible, more WELL then when you started. You won’t regret ONE. SINGLE. MOMENT.

Mad about Matcha 🍵
JUST THE FACTS:
🍵Matcha means “powdered tea”. It’s ground up green tea leaves.
🍵 Contains almost the same amount of CAFFEINE as a cup of coffee BUT it’s a different kinda buzz due to the 1-theanine
🍵High in antioxidants to fight free radicals
🍵Boosts Brain function by improving attention, memory and reaction time
🍵Green tea EXTRACT helps increase metabolism and fat burning. The extract is found in the powder so should help as well.
🍵 Easy to prepare, put in milk/almond milk smoothies, tea and puddings
WARNINGS
🧨Many powders contain a TON OF SUGAR.
🧨Early studies show that It helps Liver and Heart disease.
🧨Lead contamination is a concern. Look for Organic and Consumer Lab certified. AND practice MODERATION...only have one cup a day, do not give to kids.
🧨Maximum tolerable intake is unclear and can expose you to more pesticides and chemicals depending on where the plants are grown
FOR WHAT ITS WORTH:
Adding 1 cup a day 3-4x a week increases my overall health, decreases my risk of heart and liver disease(it’s 4 o’clock somewhere!!) and it’s easy to prepare. I’m MAD ABOUT MATCHA and You should be too.

Collagen Supplements...
BE READY for a long-term relationship!
JUST THE FACTS:
👊🏼One of the most abundant proteins in the body. Main structural protein throughout our skin, bones, muscles tendons and ligaments
👊🏼 It’s 80% of our skin,
Sadly by the time we are in our 20’s we lose 1% every year 😬😫🤯🤬 YUP. AINT THAT A BI**CH
👊🏼Collagen Peptides are more easily absorbed.
👊🏼Powders are the most popular and can add to coffee, tea smoothies.
👊🏼Can increase bone density, improve joint, back, and knee pain.
ALERT:
🧨Plant Based Collagen does NOT contain Collagen but they say It supports production.
🧨Many of the studies used are funded by companies that make the supplements
🧨Journal of Drugs in Derm did a double blind placebo controlled study in 2019 and found promising results...thus GOOD NEWS
BOTTOM LINE:
Should you add this supplement to your daily routine, you need to do for the rest of your life bc our body’s make COLLEGENASE...an enzyme that destroys our natural collagen. Sooooo we need more independent studies to prove the purported effects, and we need to take it regularly for the rest of our days 🙋🏻‍♀️
🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️ My personal opinion for whatever its worth, since there aren’t any negative effects and promising results, why the hell wouldn’t you. So I do.

The sleeper stretch isn’t what you do when you’re about to roll into/outta bed. 🥱
It’s an exercise that improves the range of motion and internal rotation in the shoulders. It targets the infraspinatus and the teres minor muscles, which are found in the rotator cuff. These muscles provide stability in your shoulders.

Doing the exercise regularly can help relieve general pain, tightness, and imbalances due to sitting for long periods, repetitive motions, and daily activities.
What it’s best for
The sleeper stretch can help when treating shoulder conditions such as impingement, tendinitis, and tendon strains.

The Doctor said you have a disc problem but he started speaking a foreign language soon after so you’re not sure what kinda disc issue you have that’s causing you discomfort?!? Here’s the break down...(literally)
1. Is what a healthy disc looks like
2. Is a “hot disc” A disc that is “hot” or inflamed is a sign that something is going on and there is usually degenerative changes.
3. Bulging Disc a bulging disc protrudes outward but the outer layers of the annulus remains intact. However, because the disc protrudes into the spinal canal, it can still compress a nerve root. Disc bulge is also known called disc prolapse.
4. Herniated Disc When a disc herniates, the soft nucleus spurts out through a tear in the annulus. Because there is limited space in the spinal canal, the nucleus can compress a nerve root or the spinal cord. The nucleus can extrude into the spinal canal, foramen, on either side of the disc, Typically, a disc that herniates is in the final stages of degeneration. Although herniated discs can occur in any area of the spine, they are more common in the lumbar region. Other terms used describe herniated discs include disc extrusion, slipped disc, or ruptured disc.
