I've got a new workshop brewing! All those summer short sleeve, tanktops, and strapless cute tops.... how do your shoulders measure up?

If you want to get some more definition and sexy curves in your shoulders, arms, and back then this workshop is for you!

If you want to be able to safely bring down that tote of holiday decorations off the top shelf in your garage (this was my call to action! overhead reaching and lifting felt sooo wobbly and weak! I couldn't believe my own arms!), then this workshop is for you.

And the side effect - a stronger core.

Us locals will be starting up on Tuesday. If you're interested, you've got to let me know. (yup, I could do this virtually too!) Comment below and send me a message!

I'm pumped to get swole (jk- I mean toned).

30mins instructor led workout (by yours truly) and 30 more mins of circuits.

lemme know if you're in!

I haven't had a single patient that couldn't benefit from a calf stretch. Just face it, our calves have a lot to do during our day. They help us walk, get up from a chair, balance, turn around corners, jump, sprint.... let's give them the love they deserve and stretch them out a couple times/day. Here's an example of an easy way to stretch them when you're out and about.
I've been doing so much walking these past few weeks (and incorporating some jogging intervals) as I'm continuing to rehab my knee! It's coming along!

My kid and his teammates crushed it at the JV tourney yesterday in redondo beach- taking home the first place trophy! I was spending the time between games and snack bar duties introducing myself to coaches and parents and offering them this: a free team workshop. I want to help the kids prevent injuries while hitting their full potential as athletes. When they are growing, it’s common that their muscles would be less flexible and more prone to injury. When muscles are less flexible than they should be, they’re also not able to perform their best- meaning, the kid they’re attached to isn’t able to jump as high or move as quickly or swing as hard! I hope that I can get this message across to these very talented and driven teenagers- and see how far they can go! πŸ† πŸ₯‡πŸ’ͺ🀩

What's your favorite outdoor activity to do? I'm happy anytime that I'm outside with the sunshine on my face. I challenge you to make a point to go outside today and do some "exercise". That might mean deep breathing on a lounge chair, or taking a hike, or a bike ride along the strand, or skiing (yes, still plenty of ski days left on the calendar this season!), or pulling weeds (NOT using weedkiller!), or, or, or?? How will you honor the earth and your body today?

The snow in California has been EPIC. But as it gets warmer, the snow becomes heavier. How's your body holding up? Make sure your knees are up for the challenge! Keep skiing through this long season without an injury. Go to www.insightintoinjury.com/ski-strong for a cheap and easy way to make sure your knees can hang.

Trying to exercise when you have pain is a very difficult scenario.
If you don't exercise, you could get even more stiff and weak and gain more weight.
If you do exercise, you could be making your injury/pain worse.
So, what do you do? ASK ME!
Here's why I think I can help you:
Let's use the example of knee pain that needs a total knee replacement. But the doctor won't do it until you're below a certain BMI/weight. (often for good reason- the replacement wont last as long, you might have blood pressure or diabetes issues that need to be under control to tolerate the anesthesia, you'll need to rely on just one leg for a while to cart your whole body around, etc). Patients are often sent to PT to help them exercise more and to help them with pain reduction. There are 3 things that compress a joint. Gravity, Body Weight, and the contraction of muscles that cross over the joint. PT's can help improve the way your muscles act on a joint. Take for example the hamstrings. They start at your hip, run down the back of your leg, and cross over the knee joint. When you contract your hamstring, the muscle tugs at the insertion on the back of your lower leg and causes your knee to bend. Good stuff. But- if that hamstring muscle is too tight, (like, you've got bad flexibility) when the muscle tugs at the insertion to bend the knee, it also COMPRESSES the knee joint together. That compression, that squeezing together of your joint, is causing you wear and tear and pain at your knee. And yes, you can get to working on that right away! Less pain, better mobility, healthier flexible muscles... not only are you less miserable when trying to exercise, but your surgical recovery will be improved! It's worth it to start now. Give it a try! In my "Personalized Action Plan" program we have a 1 on 1 session over video and I teach you the most basic exercises to get you started on your wellness journey. It's where you've got to start. I'm here for you. Go to www.insightintoinjury.com/ActionPlan today!

This cold weather makes my muscles feel tight. πŸ₯Ά It makes me less motivated to move around. I woke up this morning with some tightness in my back - on the edge of pain... The first thing I did was to lay down and do this stretch. It helped immediately. I expect I'll have to do it a few more times today to keep the pain away.
That's the beauty of knowing the right exercise to do. I want to share these many, many helpful pain-relieving tips with you!
Back stiffness? I got you. Kink in your neck? I got you. Click in your shoulder? I got you. Catch in your knee? I got you.
Tell me in the comments what's bugging you and I'll do my next post for you!
