Cardio: Your Secret Weapon for Nerve Pain Relief

Cardio has been found to be a great source of pain relief when people are dealing with painful nerves! Getting your heart rate up increases blood flow and fluid movement throughout the body. This will help alleviate that painful stimulus on your nerve and ultimately help you on your road to recovery!

This is your reminder that movement is medicine!

And exercise is the secret to longevity and independence!

Full range squats are a gift we are born with and perfectly safe for your joints!

Most athletes make the mistake of stopping squats completely when the front of the knee starts barking.

The better move? Scale the squat, keep loading the quads, and train the knee within a tolerable range.

A simple box squat can control depth.
A small heel lift can improve mechanics.
A slow tempo can build tendon tolerance.
And Spanish squats are one of our favorite ways to keep quad strength moving forward without flaring symptoms.

The goal is never to avoid the movement forever.
The goal is to find the version your knee can tolerate today so you can earn your way back to heavy squats tomorrow.

If anterior knee pain keeps showing up in your training, don’t stop lifting—change the variation and keep building capacity.

DM us “KNEES” if you want help staying in the gym while fixing the problem.

How Much Mobility Work Do You Really Need?

What is the optimal amount of time to use mobility tools such as foam rollers, massage guns, and stretches? The truth is you need as little as necessary but as much as needed. Research shows that one to two minutes of soft tissue work per muscle group before a workout is sufficient to improve blood flow and improve the pliability of these tissues.

These tools are most beneficial for pain management and loosening tight muscles when followed by strong, full-range body weight exercises. This helps retrain your brain to support this new muscle length and gives you a more efficient time in the gym!

Let’s start this week with some tremendous motivation and highlight Helen! She fully embody’s the Elite mantra of “Own Your Health”.

I have had the great honor of working with Helen these last couple of months as she recovers from a pretty serious injury. But in that time she’s not only become a friend but an inspiration! She is all about improving what Dr. Peter Attia calls your Health span! She is an avid weight lifting warrior, a yoga practitioner, a competitive triathlete, and one of the worlds best grandmothers!

This weekend she added to her trophy case by finishing first in her age group in the Macon Cherry Blossom road race; which some have called the hardest 5k they have ever done! She is amazing!

In a world constantly looking for the easy way out! Choose to be like Helen!
