Just because you have pain, even if it’s been around a while - you are NOT broken.

If you want shoulders that feel good and you trust, layering strength training through your joints full range of motion is 🔑.

💰Loaded Supine Capsular CARs will help your shoulders feel buttery.

🧇 The load above the elbow joint challenges anterior shoulder tissue as you work through shoulder internal and external rotation.

🤫Most people stop at stretching or just actively moving through the range, but strengthening the tissue is what allows you to build resilient shoulders you trust to pick up, carry and throw your kids around - regardless of their age.

Comment me the word SHOULDER and I’ll send a free mobility routine your way.

As a parent, do you strength train?

You stretch…
You foam roll…
You’re relatively active…

But you’re still tight, stiff, or in pain.

That’s because you need to give your body a reason to adapt and grant you more mobility.

How?

Challenge it! When you add load and resistance to a stretch you do 2 things:

1. You tell your body the range is safe (my back didn’t explode when I did this).
2. You strengthen the muscles and tendons because you’re adding load to the tissues that are stretched.

When you do this effectively - you will see actual improvements in mobility, tissue quality, and pain.

So add some loaded mobility into the mix so you can wrestle your kids, smoke your drives, and live an active lifestyle without second guessing your body.

As my time as a strength coach and physical therapist, I’ve been lucky enough to help SO many wonderful people. I’ve worked with over 2,000 parents looking to move better, feel stronger, and still enjoy family time and golf without constant pain.

Each parent has taught me something different—but if I had to narrow down the most essential lessons, here are the 3 things I’d tell you first:

1. Pain isn’t always a sign of permanent damage.

Gentle, consistent movement can speed your recovery more than you realize.

2. Small, consistent habits are the key to long-term results.

Even a short 10-minute mobility routine can work wonders if you stick with it.

3. Mindset is just as important as the program you’re on.

Believing that you can get stronger and more mobile—even with a busy schedule—often separates those who see lasting change from those who don’t.

So tell me in the comments: which of these tips resonates with you the most? Let me know—I’d love to hear your thoughts.

🚛 Pain doesn’t always mean stop. 🚦

It’s your body’s way of informing you something might be wrong.

Ignoring it only keeps you where you are and can lead to frustration or increased pain.

But stopping completely? That deconditions you even more.

The goal isn’t to live pain-free. That’s likely impossible.

It’s to build enough confidence that your body can handle whatever you want to throw at it.

Your body isn’t fragile. It’s adaptable.
You just have to remind it that it is.

Most parents ignore pain signals until they can’t.

But here’s the truth, pain is normal.
Its job is to give us feedback, not tell us we’re broken.

If you’re feeling:
⚠️ Constant pain, even if it doesn’t slow you down
⚠️ Reliant on stretching or foam rolling because the pain keeps coming back
⚠️ Your warm-up takes as long as your actual workout
⚠️ Fear of certain movements because they might flare things up

Your body isn’t broken, it’s protecting itself.

The fix isn’t more stretching, more PT, or more rest.

It’s learning to trust your body again and build capacity through smart training.

The truth is, the things above can actually decondition you because they stop you from loading and challenging your body in meaningful ways.

Real strength comes from listening, adjusting, and moving forward, not avoiding movement or finding a band-aid approach.
