Quick Rant: STOP COMPLAINING AND START DOING

I get it. Life is busy, hard, stressful, and full of obligations. But none of that is made easier by you being passive and hoping that something “magically happens” and removes the pain you’ve had for 6+ months (or for some of y’all 3+ years).

And it’s even worse when you have the tools and know what to work on, but don’t because of those same excuses. Some of you have amazing Coaches/PT’s/LMT’s/Chiros, etc. that you work with on your pain/health, but because you refuse to do effort on your end because “it’s hard, takes too long (usually like 10-15 minutes in all reality), are too tired” or whatever other reason, you stay stuck where you are because you’re not committing and changing what you’re doing.

This is a message from ALL OF US WHO WORK WITH PEOPLE - START DOING STUFF ON YOUR OWN. Any one of us will say that compliance from the client or patient can be one of the biggest obstacles to someone feeling better. I can guarantee you that if you actually put in effort outside of your sessions, you'll see the needle move forward.

Bilateral pains and tightnesses are a core stability/motor control issue unless proven otherwise!!!

There is a saying in the rehab world that proximal stability allows for distal mobility. The core region (defined as being the diaphragm, TVA/IAO, Pelvic floor, multifidus, lumbar erectors) all have the goal to manage intra-abdominal pressure to transmit force across the trunk (and the body), and to help maintain your lumbar lordosis to manage your center of mass, and to keep the holes where your nerves come out open. When this region isn’t doing as good of a job as you would like, there is a chance that you will recruit help from other structures to create some of that stability and to manage forces.

You start to hold your breath for everything.
You have to over tighten your hips to move.
Your neck starts to tense up as you bend over.
You use your arms to brace onto things when you’re walking down stairs or going onto the floor.

Things distal start to bilaterally tighten up to help out. This is a great problem solver in the interim, but not a good long term strategy. If joint is busy doing another joint/regions job, it won’t do it’s prime job as well. Then tightness and pain CAN ensue.

When I hear bilateral symptoms, I immediately start to assume there is a core component to it, and depending on the case, that may mean we largely do core focused things, or do just enough to clear some stuff up and dive into the region a little more specifically.

Are you someone who has bilateral pains or injuries? Let us know below! It may be an issue with your inner unit.

A lot of lower back pain and injury is because of a load share issue!

Our spine is an engineering success. It is built to take compressive loads and distribute it really well. BUT that doesn’t mean that things can’t go wrong. Often what happens is that people start to “hinge” at certain points of the spine. The reasons can vary, but in essence, instead of distributing load across a lot of joints, we over use 1-3 of them. When this is your only strategy for movement, it can potentially produce pain or even tissue damage.

The easiest example to see this happen (in my opinion) is in a hinge! In a hinge we want to have a lot of pelvis/hip movement horizontally, and the spine to be in a relatively neutral position the whole time (it’s a continuum so not 1 steady position necessarily).

What you can often see is either an excessive lumbar extension tone happening, or no sacral/pelvic movement at all and all lumbar spine flexion. Either way, there is an over reliance on the lumbar spine to produce the movement, rather than sharing load across the system (the whole lumbar spine, pelvis, hips, knees).

Basically if it looks like 1 thing is doing too much work, that is probably true. The goal is to share the load amongst more. How?

Release facilitated structures overworking and causing some of the issue
Activate other things to help distribute load
Coach breathing/bracing strategies and exercises
Integrate into bigger movements and load them

Chances are your knee pain isn’t stemming from your knee! Sure, you can have a load capacity issue, but that likely will show up after doing an increase in volume, frequency, or intensity of an activity, and obviously if you have a traumatic event where forces hit the knee and cause damage, then it’s a knee issue.

But outside of those instances, a lot of the issue can be traced back to 2 areas: Your hip (more commonly) and your foot/ankle mortise (less commonly).

Your knee is a slave to what is happening above and below. It is an inherently stable joint that allows the proximal and distal mobility of the hip and ankle. Very commonly the hip joint has a stability/motor control issue, causing it to decentrate as it moves. When it can’t achieve proper centration, the nervous system will tell your body “find a solution elsewhere to manage this” and here comes the knee to save the day. Can’t flex your hip in a squat? Let’s drive knee flexion instead. Having trouble getting hip rotation? The knee can help with that too!

The knee joint and down(foot/ankle) can be thought of similarly, but less commonly, the source of some knee pain. A lot of it has to do with the ability of the tibia to rotate, subtalar movement (pronation/supination), foot strength, and more. The rationale can be thought in the same way - there is less capacity for movement/load down below, so we over utilize structures that cross the knee joint to achieve the task.

So if you’re doing all of the knee drills under the sun and nothing is changing, it may be because you’re missing the mark on what you should be focusing on for your pain.

Get assessed by someone with a solid understanding of movement, biomechanics, anatomy, and how movement subsystems work, and you’ll be good to go.

Most people suck at handling chronic pain.

They chase it around
They ignore how regions of the body relate, how common relational compensations can happen, and totally ignore the fact that there's also a brain to take in account that's leading the way

We put all our effort into being the antithesis to that. Uplift was made to help people solve complex chronic pain through manual therapy, NKT, and strength coaching.

To help my clients get out of pain, I created a special plan that has been working wonders at solving complex pain cases that have been plaguing them for years despite seeing everyone under the sun for them. This plan is 12 Sessions and goes through 3 phases:

1)Manage pain and improve movement control
2)Rebuild confidence and movement patterns
3)Build strength and resilience

If you're tired of chasing pain, being given general cookie cutter interventions, and just generally being confused and frustrated about your pain, then you're who we made this plan for.

Book a Free 15 Minut Intro call with us so we can hear what's going on and see if we would be a good fit for you. If you are we'll get you scheduled for an Eval and get the process started.

Stop Guessing and Start Progressing on your pain

COACHING MOVMENT IS NECESSRY WITH CHRONIC PAIN

One thing that happens is that people become fearful to move and load themselves, or have adopted such dysfunctional movement patterns due to their history that they don't understand how to move any differently.

And if load isn't distributed well across the system, certain structures will take up the brunt and can produce pain as a response (looking at you, knee pain).

Good coaching can go SUCH A LONG WAY. Never underestimate a good coaches ability to understand and correct movement

REASONS YOUR PAIN ISN'T GETTING BETTER

Guys, the basics matter. A LOT. Imagine if you didn't do what you needed to take care of a plant (talking to those plant killers out there) - that plant is going to survive for a few months before wilting away and dying because you forgot to water it, or gave it a soil that doesn't support it's pH balance.

Humans are WAY MORE resilient than most house plants, so our "decay" shows up differently. And if you're not doing the basics to take care of yourself, you really can't expect much change on your pain, especially when you're someone who has a grocery list of co-morbidities.

Chances are you need to be more active, sleep more, eat better, manage your stress better, stop chasing quick fixes and pain meds, and learn how to move your body better. The more of those boxes you can tick, the better you'll feel.

We had a VERY fun snow day!

How did everyone else enjoy it??

I haven't been sleeping in over 10 years at least, so it was a nice change and break from the "go go go" of life.

Now to get back into the groove of things (and back into the sauna 😍)

TECHNIQUE AND FORM MATTER! - especially if you’re a mere mortal like the rest of us

For THE MAJORITY of the population (who is weak, unhealthy, not good at moving, and sit for 7 hours a day and barely get 3k steps a day), the way you perform movements matter. If you have no concept of what it is like to brace and do larger movements with generally good technique, then go and do them under load, there is a possibility that you may overload a tissue, or just create a pain response because your body is like “bro wtf was that”

The pain science world is great, but there has definitely been a bit of a drastic shift in the direction of “it doesn’t matter how you perform x because there is no inherently bad movement”, which I generally agree, but I would rather organize myself and distribute load across the system better than cat back a deadlift with 0 control.

So learn how to use your body better and you may feel better in the long run.

CARE FOR YOUR BODY!

At Uplift, we’re passionate about helping you feel better, not just for today, but for the long run. That’s why we brought in infrared sauna therapy, a powerful, science-backed way to support your body from the inside out. Life can be GO GO GO, but if you’re someone who does that, you know that there is a limit to how far you can go, especially when you’re burning the candle at both ends. This is where saunas come in.

Infrared saunas use gentle, penetrating heat to work deep into your muscles, joints, and cells. Whether you’re pushing hard in training, recovering from injury, living with chronic pain, or simply looking to optimize your overall health, it can help you:

🔥 Relieve Pain & Tension – Increased oxygen and improved circulation mean less soreness, reduced stiffness, and easier movement.

❤️ Support Heart Health – Gentle cardiovascular stimulation that improves blood flow and helps regulate blood pressure.

💧 Detox Naturally – Sweat out heavy metals, toxins, and chemicals so your body can function at its best.

🏋️ Boost Recovery & Performance – Post-workout use speeds up muscle repair and helps you come back stronger.

🧠 Protect Your Brain – Heat activates heat shock proteins, supporting long-term brain health and resilience.

How to make infrared work for you:

🔵After Training – Maximize recovery so you’re fresh for your next session.
🔵On Rest Days – Give your body a gentle circulation and detox boost.
🔵At Night – Ease stress and prepare yourself for deep, restorative sleep.
🔵Post-Uplift Sessions – Lock in the benefits and prolong the positive effects of your treatment.

Our goal is to expand the amount of tools we can provide for you to feel better and live the best life you can. Infrared Sauna’s were a no brainer. This isn’t just about sitting in a warm room, it’s about giving your body the opportunity to recover and improve its base level of functioning. If you’re in a state of fight all the time, you will crash. Let this help you manage the crash.

Come experience it for yourself.

Unfortunately a lot of the rehab and pain space follows pre-set templates for specific pathologies/pains/injuries, ignoring how the individual needs of the person may be different. If you’ve ever gone to PT, Chiropractic, or Massage for pain and realized that everyone with your kind of pain gets the same treatment, it’s not a coincidence, it’s how the system is built. In some cases it’s because insurance companies will determine what is billable, forcing the clinician to do specific things due to a formula that is created for that issue (Typically for PT/Chiro this applies). In other cases it’s because the place someone works tells them to do a specific “routine”, and/or their assessment process doesn’t allow them to get to the root of the issue (typically applies for LMT’s).

Insurance companies will dictate what the practitioner can do, taking away the ability to create an individualized plan for someone who may need it. If there are 5 other people also doing clam shells or serratus wall walks, it’s because insurance will cover it as a therapeutic exercise for the specific diagnosis code being used, even if the exercise isn’t one that actually addresses your issue (Sometimes these exercises do help, and that’s great!).

And if every muscle that surrounds a joint is being beat to shreds by your LMT, there’s a high chance that everyone is getting the same beating, not because they mean any harm, but solely because they have to fill the time for the hour and their skillset doesn’t allow them to do much else.

These approaches can definitely help some, but often leaves others needing more, especially for those of us who have had chronic issues for so long that you just can’t seem to get a handle on them. If non-specific work was going to do it, it probably would’ve by now and you may need to take a different approach.

If this sounds like your experience, you’re not alone. We hear this every day from the people that we work with. If you want change and to get to the root of your issue, DM us so we can get you on a call and hear what’s going on!
