Trick question… there shouldn’t be.

When you decide to add weight to your mobility training, the range of motion shouldn’t change.

Shoulder Extension Mobility❗️

If you struggle with shoulder issues on bench press this is for you!

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot pain.

It’s an irritation and overload of the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue that runs from your heel bone (calcaneus) to your toes and helps support the arch of your foot.

Most people describe it as:
• a sharp, stabbing pain at the bottom of the heel
• worse with the first few steps in the morning
• or after sitting for a while, then standing up
• sometimes easing as you “warm up”

That’s because the plantar fascia gets stiff when you rest, and the moment you load it again, it gets hit with tension it can’t tolerate.

Here’s the good news:

Plantar fasciitis isn’t just a “foot problem.”
It’s usually a mobility + load management problem.

Limited ankle dorsiflexion, tight calves, stiff big toe extension, and poor foot/arch control all force the plantar fascia to take on extra stress with every step, sprint, jump, or lift.

Time to rethink how you cure your ridiculously tight hamstrings 💁🏼‍♂️

Try things like dynamic stretching, nerve tensioners, end range knee flexion, and loaded positions.

Get the most out of your shoulder warm up.

Most of us have limited time in the gym. This means we also need to maximize our time warming up and cooling down.

Not only is this a phenomenal warm up it’s also a great main lift. Grab a very heavy band and see how many reps you can achieve.

Whether you have a tendinitis or a full blown Achilles rupture

Your return to sport better look like some mixture of these exercises (before running).

Your rehab doesn’t end when pain is gone and it surely doesn’t end just because you did the instructed about of weeks of physical therapy.

No amount of soft tissue work and mobilizations will truly prepare you for your sport.

It’s not a waste of time.

When done the right way it can not only be a phenomenal workout, it can also get you moving.

Low barrier to entry makes it so easy for so many people

Why do we train the capsule?

1️⃣ Strengthen and control the shoulder at its end ranges

2️⃣ Expand your usable range to reduce injury risk

3️⃣ Improve long-term joint health and mobility

Start with one of these two options to understand what range you have. If you need more of this range, you will need a more intense exercise.

Mobility tools don’t need to be complicated to be effective.

I’ve used Stretch Out Straps for years, but the SOS Pro has been a staple for me lately because of one simple upgrade: the centered 11th loop!

That middle loop makes a huge difference for:

✅ keeping the foot locked in
✅ staying symmetrical right vs left
✅ maintaining midline alignment
✅ getting deeper stretches without feeling “twisted”

Whether you’re doing hamstring work, heel slides, hip mobility, or end-range holds… it just feels better 🙌🏼

Protect the health of your shoulders by prioritizing capsule focused shoulder training.

After all the shoulder in itself is a ball and socket joint - meaning rotation is of a high importance!

Did you know you can use mobility work to prep your joints for your workout?

The most common question I get is when do I put my mobility work in?

That depends on what your goals are…

Improve your mobility long term
- do it before with high intensity

Just want to move more
- do it anytime you can make it work

Grab your mini band and get to work

If your chiropractors “solution” for your tight hips is an adjustment. It’s time for a new chiropractor.

I’ll be the first to admit that the chiropractic and even the PT field is getting lazy and will always try to find a quick fix.

Instead we should be giving our patients a wide variety of exercises and stretches to not only fix problems, but to build resilience as well.
