Most people are stretching the wrong things, the wrong way, and wondering why nothing changes

Pulling on your head? Pinching the front of your shoulders? That’s not helping, that’s irritating 😬

Instead try:

✅ Bench extensions for upper-back freedom

✅ Cable shrugs to relax tension

✅ Scorpions for controlled range

This is quite disheartening to see…

More and more often, doctors are just giving in to MRI demands, when there isn’t a clear reason to say that the patient ACTUALLY needs one.

I just want patients to understand that through a proper assessment, they will more often get a much clearer picture of the cause of their pain, and that MRIs should only be used when absolutely necessary.

MRIs are physically harmless, but oftentimes can send patients down a mental spiral when they see the report.

All without a detailed assessment to understand HOW the findings got there in the first place, or if the findings are even related to their pain.

If you’re seeing this video…

This is your sign (not from above): Not everything that feels tight needs to be stretched

Sometimes the answer isn’t more flexibility… it’s more understanding 💡

Your arch shape doesn’t define your movement…your function does

Stop chasing perfect foot shape 

Start fixing how it works 👣

Before you stretch again… read this 👇

If stretching hasn’t helped by now, it’s probably not the solution

That tightness might be a nerve irritation, a tendon issue, or another condition that does not respond well to stretching

Rather than irritating it, get it properly assessed

We help Dads get back to the moments that matter most

If stretching was the answer… you’d be pain-free by now 😬

The truth? Most people are overstretching the wrong muscles and undertraining the right ones

❎ You don’t need to spend 20 minutes pulling on your hamstrings every day

✅ You need movement that teaches your body to control new ranges, not just reach them

💪 Dynamic stretches, end-range work, and lifting through full range = actual mobility

Save this one for your next warm-up 🔥

Your 4th adjustment this month and the pain is still there, why?

Most people are treated, but never understood

That quick relief feels good, that’s true

But in the long run, what you need is someone to look deeper: assess how you move, find the root cause 

And then build a roadmap that gets you back to what you love, stronger than before
