Yes, that’s me! Performing my favorite skill and my favorite event! Unfortunately, I also know that I was already tired and hurting, and it was probably only January! Don’t let this happen to you! I wish I knew then what I know now.

🤸🏻‍♀️Ignoring pain only makes it worse.
🤸🏻‍♀️ your pain is likely an overuse injury and your body is sending you a warning sign to take care of it.
🤸🏻‍♀️ take care of it early on, and you are likely addressing it for 1-4 weeks
🤸🏻‍♀️ this likely means making some BRIEF and MINOR modifications to practice so you can STILL TRAIN!
🤸🏻‍♀️ use this “bonus time“ to address areas or skills that you were unable to focus on before
🤸🏻‍♀️find a healthcare provider like us that understands what you do and how to work around your pain, not just “take 2 weeks off” 🙄

Ignore it, and the recovery time becomes more significant and likely with loss of practice time 👎🏻

💪 Take this time to assess your recovery habits

🍗🍳 a soft tissue injury requires protein to help it heal. Are you getting enough? O.8g per pound of body weight
🛌😴 Are you getting enough sleep? Teenagers should get roughly ten hours of sleep. This is when you grow and REPAIR and RECOVER. Make it happen!

🤸🏻‍♀️🙌🏼Toughness isn’t gutting out your pain! Be smart and take care of it so you DON’T have to! That’s being a well trained athlete! There are no awards for pain tolerance!

🎉Hopefully everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to a 2026🥳 ! If you’re anything like us, your daily routine has gone by the wayside as you enjoy all of the holiday food and libations.
🎇Here are some easy tips to get you back on track.

😴💤🛌 REST - most of us need an average of 8 hours of sleep per night. If you’re a growing teenager, you need even more. This is when growth hormone is released to support maturation. If your active or an athlete, you need even more. This is when your body repairs and recovers. So put away your phone or other device, start wind7ng down 30 minutes before you want to fall asleep, and keep a routine of sleep and awake time for consistency.
🥗🥙EAT - no surprise here! Food fuels the body. And adequate protein, fat and carbs are where it’s at. So keep the refined sugar to a minimum. Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed so you can rest and digest. The holidays are over! Ha!
💪🏽 CREATINE AND COLLAGEN - Creatine is one of the most researched and effective supplements. Put a scoop or 2 in your water or try some gummies! Take daily, and/or take immediately following a workout to help with recovery and muscle building. BONUS, it has also been shown to elevate cognitive health. 🧠 Collagen supports your joints and tendons. Diagnosed with a tendon injury? Taking 15-20grams 30 minutes before a rehab session or workout has shown to improve healing and recovery! BONUS, helps skin too!
🐟 OMEGA 3s - Found in fatty fish, flax seed, chia seeds and walnuts, most of us don’t get enough to balance the omega 6s we ingest. Helps with inflammation. BONUS. Improves heart health!
💊 VITAMINS - Most of us are lacking something depending your diet. Take a multivitamin, or just vitamin D3. Almost all Americans need it.
💦 ELECTROLYTES- We lose electrolytes just breathing. Hot or sweating, and we need even more!
🚨 RED LIGHT THERAPY - Recharge your mitochondria! Heal faster!
🌟Where to find these items? We use . The owner, , is a physical therapist. She lives right here in the Pittsburgh area! You can order online. Have them shipped to your door! AND support another local, small business! Win-win!

Are you breathing well? Using your belly, ribs, and chest to EXPAND your rib cage?

This will…
🧘‍♂️maximize your oxygen intake
🧘‍♀️take in enough air to pump out waste from your body
🧘‍♂️provide stability to your spine

DO
🫁 breath in SLOWLY
🫁 breath IN thru your NOSE 👃
🫁 breath OUT thru your MOUTH 👄

DON’T
🫁 take small, rapid breaths
🫁 breath thru your neck and shoulders
🫁 breath IN thru your mouth

Breath well to maximize CARBON DIOXIDE tolerance
😮‍💨 inhale for oxygen to fuel cells
😮‍💨 exhale to expel waste, but also to prompt HEMOGLOBIN

HEMOGLOBIN is the protein in the blood that delivers oxygen where it’s needed … in order to release all of that OXYGEN

The longer and slower you exhale … the more oxygen you can use!

Better breathing means better
🧘‍♂️ sleep 🛌
🧘‍♂️ lung function 🫁
🧘‍♂️ more efficient use of energy ( better performance)
🧘‍♂️ improved neck and shoulder pain and mobility
🧘‍♂️ improved spinal stability
🧘‍♂️ improved stress tolerance

So why not breath easy?! Test yourself and try these quick exercises to see if you can improve…

You’ll be better for it! 💪🏽☺️🤸🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️

Wishing a Happy Veteran’s Day to all of our veterans! We appreciate your sacrifice - time away from family and friends, fighting the heat, fighting the cold, eating meals from a can, maybe not eating at all, not having a warm shower, not have a comfortable bed, not having cold water to drink… I can go on and on. And VOLUNTEERING for it all, while also sometimes fighting for your life, or the person’s next to you, and the freedom we enjoy every day. I am grateful for my temperature regulated home and car, comfy bed, good food, warm shower… whenever I choose. Thank you 🙏🏼
