VO₂ max: what it is, why it matters + how to improve it in honor of national heart month 🫁

VO₂ max = your body’s ability to use oxygen during exercise. It’s one of the strongest predictors of long-term health — more than cholesterol or blood pressure.

The higher your VO₂ max, the better your:
✔️ Heart and lung health
✔️ Energy, endurance + resilience
✔️ Live long and live well (!!!)

After age 30, VO₂ max naturally declines. But the right type of movement — especially Zone 5 intervals, Zone 2 cardio + strength — can slow, stop, or even reverse that drop.

Boost your VO₂ max, boost your longevity! 🫀

Did you know improving your VO₂ max may reduce your risk of early mortality more than quitting smoking or controlling diabetes?

Two ways to strengthen your heart:
🫀 Zone 5 HIIT (4×4): 4 min hard, 4 min easy × 4 rounds
🫀 Zone 5 ReHIT: short, all-out bursts with long recovery

Pair with strength, mobility, and consistent movement for a heart-healthy routine that supports longevity!

Pregnancy comes with a lot of advice — but clear, supportive guidance around movement is often missing.

A recent study from Ireland found that 93% of women couldn’t accurately identify the physical activity guidelines for pregnancy. While this research was done abroad, it reflects what we often see here too: many women want to stay active, but aren’t sure what’s safe or appropriate.

Here’s what’s important to know:

✔️ Movement during pregnancy is not only safe — it’s beneficial
✔️ Strength, cardio, and mobility can support your energy, confidence, and recovery
✔️ You don’t need to stop moving — you need the right guidance

Your body is doing something incredible. It’s adaptable, capable, and worthy of care that supports it — not restricts it.

✨ Save this post or share it with a friend as a reminder that movement in pregnancy is about empowerment, not fear.

Here are a few simple ways I’ve been showing up for myself this winter ❄️

I’ve been focusing less on doing more (not easy!) — and more on doing what helps me show up well.

It has been a season of slower mornings, intentional movement, nourishing foods, quiet nights, and protecting my energy where I can. Not perfectly or consistently, but intentionally when I can.

These habits aren’t about optimization or productivity — they’re about creating enough space to show up for my family, my work, and myself

Physical Therapy: One of the best-kept secrets in health care 🤩🤭

Physical therapy is transforming the way we think about health — not just by treating pain, but by addressing root causes, improving movement, and helping people feel confident in their bodies again.

It’s more than rehab.
It’s education.
It’s prevention.
It’s long-term care for how you move, feel, and live.

You don’t need to be injured to benefit from physical therapy. Whether you’re navigating postpartum recovery, dealing with lingering aches, or simply want to move better and stay active as you age, PT can be a powerful part of your wellness routine.

✨ Ready to optimize, move better and feel stronger? Let’s chat!

Postpartum recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all — and it doesn’t have to start at 6 weeks.

Our Virtual Postpartum PT Sessions focus on:
✔️ Understanding how YOUR body is healing
✔️ Safe, gentle movement to rebuild strength (yes, even before 6 weeks)
✔️ Pelvic floor + core education and guidance
✔️ Addressing common postpartum symptoms early

Many early postpartum visits are primarily education-based, which makes virtual care an effective (and cozy) option — no rushing out the door, no childcare needed.

Healing starts with knowledge and support.

A patient came to me recently with intense jaw pain — the kind that makes simple things like chewing, talking, or even turning the head feel exhausting.

She had been living with TMJ discomfort on and off for 1.5 years and felt overwhelmed by how much it was affecting her daily life. She was told to “just do jaw exercises" and to "relax the jaw” but never felt like anyone actually explained why her jaw hurt or what to do about it.

During our first session, we uncovered that her TMJ tension wasn’t just a jaw issue — it was connected to neck tightness, breathing patterns, posture, and stress. Once we treated the whole picture (not just the pain), things changed quickly:

✨ Her jaw tension decreased
✨ Her headaches eased
✨ She felt comfortable eating again
✨ And she finally understood what her body was trying to tell her

Stories like this are such a reminder that you don’t have to live with pain, headaches, or that constant “tight” feeling. TMJ pain is treatable — and you deserve care that looks at the full picture, not just the symptoms.

If you’re dealing with jaw discomfort, headaches, or neck tension, we’d love to help you feel better. 🌿
