5 reasons to add the RowErg to your next workout. đź’Ş

This is one of my go-to machines for building strength, conditioning, and efficient movement in one shot (each reason supports better performance and joint health):

• Low-impact on the joints
• Trains the full body
• Reinforces strong hip hinge mechanics
• Builds cardio + strength together
• Easy to scale for any level

You can use it for rehab, general fitness, or performance, just adjust resistance, pace, and time.

This isn’t about doing more, it’s about choosing tools that give you more return for your effort.

Save this for your next gym session. 🏋🏻‍♀️

Here’s the truth about training glutes no one has told you about. 🤔

Your glutes aren’t just about shape or max strength. They’re a huge part of how your hips, pelvis, and lower back work together during everyday movement.

Here’s what glutes actually do:
• Help control pelvic position so you walk, run, lift, and climb stairs more efficiently
• Share load so your lower back, hips, and knees don’t have to overwork
• Activate at the right time to support balance, stability, and smooth force transfer

That’s why glute training isn’t just about lifting heavier. It’s about coordination and timing how the muscle shows up during real movement, not just isolated exercises.

If your training is only chasing burn or weight, you might be missing the part that actually keeps you moving pain-free.

Save this for later and train your glutes with intention. 🙌

If you’ve experienced hip pain on the outer side, you need to try these.

One thing I see all the time is that it’s not a lack of effort. It’s that the muscles meant to support the hip are not doing their job. When that happens, the outer hip takes the hit.

These three exercises target hip stability and control where it matters most 👇
• Banded pistol squat variation
• Banded skater squat
• Standing banded hip abduction

Use them with slow, controlled reps for 3 sets of 10 on both sides.

This combo trains strength, balance, and control at the same time, which is exactly what helps calm outer hip pain and reduce flare-ups.

Save this for your next leg day and drop a 🔥 if you want more hip-friendly progressions.

Valentine’s Day idea you might actually love. 💝

Do your favorite exercise with someone you care about. Keep it simple, keep it fun, and move together.

It doesn’t have to be fancy or perfect. Just showing up, sharing a little sweat, and making movement part of the day goes a long way.

Drop a ❤️ if you’d try this.

5 moves I do to keep my hip internal rotation healthy.

These are go-to movements I use to keep my hips and trunk moving, rotating, and sharing the load the way they’re meant to (each drill improves hip internal rotation range of motion):

• Standing hip extension + adduction with hip IR
• Single-leg RDL hip rotations
• Trunk rotations in staggered stance
• Trunk rotations with pivot
• Leg crossovers with rotation

Do each for 3 sets of 10 reps.

This isn’t about doing more, it’s about moving better so your hips stay strong, smooth, and reliable long term.

Save this for your next mobility day and drop a 🔥 if you want a part two.

3 daily essentials for moving and feeling better. 👇

Movement keeps your body active and your joints nourished. It’s how you stay loose, energized, and connected to how your body actually works day to day.

Mobility gives you access to your range. When your joints can move well, everything else feels smoother, there is less stiffness, less compensation, better control.

Strength is what lets you use that movement safely and confidently. It supports your joints, protects you from overload, and helps your body handle real-life demands.

When you train all three together, that’s when things really click. Daily tasks feel easier, workouts feel better, and your body becomes more resilient instead of fragile.

Save this as a reminder: move daily, keep your joints mobile, and build strength that actually carries over to life.

POV: your PT taught you this exercise and now your hips are stronger, your core is more reactive, and your movement feels more connected.

Nothing beats that moment when “my body feels off” turns into “everything just clicks” and you realize one good exercise changed how your whole system works.

Drop a 💪 if you’ve ever felt your movement improve after learning the right drill.

After years of working with athletes, here are a few things that really stand out 👇

The best athletes aren’t pain free. They’re adaptable. They know how to adjust when something feels off and keep moving in a smart way. Consistency always wins over going all out once in a while, and confidence plays a huge role in how someone moves. When athletes trust their bodies, everything looks smoother.

Trying to rush rehab almost always shows up later. Shortcuts tend to turn into setbacks. What matters most isn’t finding the perfect exercise, but moving well and with control. Recovery isn’t a break from training either. It’s part of it. Sleep, nutrition, and smart loading are what actually keep progress going.

And the best return to play plans usually feel boring before they feel powerful. That quiet foundation work is what makes performance stick.

If you train like you want to stay active long term, drop a đź’Ş and keep playing the long game.

Your body doesn’t move in neat, straight lines all day, so your training shouldn’t either.

Think about how you actually move. You twist to grab things, step sideways without thinking, turn quickly, and catch yourself when you lose balance. When training only goes forward and back, the body misses out on learning how to control those moments.

Training in all directions helps build better balance, coordination, and confidence so movement feels more natural and supported.

If you want a plan that prepares your body for real life movement, talk to one of our therapists.

Quick reminder you might need today đź’­

If you get up and move a bit today, your body is going to quietly thank you a week from now. Things usually feel looser, lighter, and less stiff when movement becomes part of the routine, not a big event.

Do one small thing today and see how it adds up.
Drop a 💪 if you’re getting some movement in.

Patient words like these never get old đź’™

One of our patients shared how hesitant she felt starting PT, and how quickly that changed after her first session with Jacob. Feeling listened to, validated, and safe matters just as much as the exercises themselves. In just a month, she saw major improvements in strength, confidence, and day to day comfort, all from a plan that was tailored to her and actually fit her life.

This is what we aim for at Forefront Physical Therapy. Thoughtful care, clear guidance, and support that helps you move forward without feeling pushed past your limits.

If you’ve been on the fence about starting PT, this might be your sign.
