Did you know your mid-30s to mid-40s might be the most important decade for your bones? 🦴🔥

A recent longevity panel on The Diary of a CEO highlighted something powerful: For women between ages 35–45, muscle mass and bone density start to decline unless we actively train them. 💪

Maintaining strong muscle during this window directly boosts bone strength and protects long-term mobility — and most hip fractures happen in people with low muscle + bone mass later in life. ⚠️

The experts also emphasized how hormonal changes in midlife make strength training, impact exercise, and smart nutrition even more essential for preserving bone health. ⚡

💡 Train now. Protect later. Your future skeleton will thank you.

Did you know short workouts can be just as effective as long ones? 🏋️‍♀️

A 2025 British Journal of Sports Medicine study found that 5-minute “exercise snacks” done a few times a day significantly improved fitness — even in inactive adults. 💪

These quick bursts boost mitochondria, circulation, and endurance — without overloading your joints. ⚡

💡 Small sessions. Big results. Articles in bio.

Ever hear a snap, crackle, or pop mid-movement? 👂 That’s crepitus — and it’s more common (and less scary) than most think.

While noisy joints often just mean shifting pressure or tissue movement, persistent grinding paired with pain or swelling can hint at underlying mechanical issues. 💡

As movement pros, our job isn’t just to quiet the noise — it’s to optimize how joints move through strength, control, and alignment.

A post-exercise infrared sauna session improves recovery of neuromuscular performance and muscle soreness after resistance exercise training.

A new study by Ahokas et al. (2023), found that a single infrared sauna session after resistance training helped athletes recover faster, feel less sore, and maintain explosive power compared to passive recovery. 🚀💪

🧪 Methods
👥 16 male basketball players
🎲 Randomized crossover: two trials per athlete, 1-week apart
💪 Exercise: complex resistance session (strength + plyometrics)
🔥 Recovery: Infrared sauna (IRS) → ~43 °C, 20 min
vs. Passive sitting recovery

📊 Outcomes: sprint, CMJ, leg press, soreness, recovery perception, sleep, HR/HRV, muscle damage markers

✨ Key Findings
🏀 Explosive jump (CMJ) preserved better with IRS vs passive recovery
🤕 Less soreness + better perceived recovery in IRS condition
❤️ HR ↑ during IRS; HRV ↓ during session → no overnight differences in HR/HRV
✅ IRS = helpful for performance + soreness recovery without harming autonomic recovery overnight

There are no secrets to success.

If you move better, you'll feel better, enabling you to lead a more fulfilling life, on your own terms.

A strong clinician serves as a liaison for their patients, connecting them to the appropriate resources to navigate their rehabilitation. By providing the tools necessary, a clinician can support their patient as they learn to perform at their highest potential.

We feel that striving for optimal physical performance, not simply functioning without pain, is something each patient deserves. It is our responsibility to help everyone we work with best navigate the ultimate course they have in mind.
