A neck adjustment is NOT going to solve all your neck problems, trust me. No matter how hard your old chiropractor tried to convince you otherwise. And especially not if you have a neck sprain/strain or herniation.

To be honest, one of my pet peeves is when a new patient comes in asking for a neck adjustment, because they believe that’s what they need. Yet, while we’re sitting there talking about their health history, they’ve already cracked their own necks 3-5 times during our convo. When I ask how often they do that, they say multiple times a day 😳😬 So no, you don’t need a neck adjustment if you’re cracking your own neck all day everyday….but chiropractors can still help your neck pain with other modalities & equipment and most likely to strengthen & stabilize your neck.

All those videos are of me stretching, not doing mobility. What’s the difference you may ask?

Flexibility: the ability of your MUSCLES, tendons, & ligaments to lengthen and PASSIVELY hold the stretch.

Mobility: the ability of your JOINTS to move ACTIVELY and with control through its full range of motion.

You need both, but don’t confuse your yoga class for mobility. Want to learn how you can improve your mobility? Join me every Monday starting Jan. 26th from 6:25-6:55pm for a mobility class at Hardcore Fitness Pasadena! DM me to learn more!

And this goes for my non-runners too…don’t neglect your calves, especially the small calf muscle, the soleus.

For such a small muscle, it works hard to increase force & takes on a lot of load during your runs. So let’s prevent foot, ankle, knee, & hip pain during your runs by strengthening this muscle.

Aim for 15+ reps to work on muscular endurance & prep the soleus to plantar flex over & over again while running.

If your gym doesn’t have a seated calf raises machine, then do what I’m doing in my second video & use a plate or platform to elevate your heels while sitting on a bench. Use dumbbells or a barbell at your distal quad to keep the load closer to the knee & not closer to the hip.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🥳🥳🥳It’s up to you how this year goes, but promise yourself you’ll do your best to make it a great year...
