The other week Dr. Lindsay hosted a workshop for patients to talk all about posture. Patients learned all about ways they can set up their desk to alleviate chronic aches & pains, a deep dive into how poor posture can lead to long term health decline, & ways right now they can combat it!

Thank you to all those who came out to listen & engage in meaningful conversation.

Part 2 of the posture series is all about how sedentary activity causes pain & dysfunction.
😓

Our bodies are made to move. Without activity, even low grade, our bodies FEEL it. We may even develop those dreaded words: bone on bone, carpal tunnel, chronic headaches/migraines, etc.

Movement & exercise lubricate & hydrate joints, promote circulation, & strengthens muscles. All things that prolong degeneration or decrease chronic aches & pains.

In part 3, we’ll show you things to do at home to start feeling better!

Welcome to the posture series! We will tell you what the best posture is, how posture contributes to pain & dysfunction, & ways we can combat it.
🧘 Let’s set the record straight; there’s not 1 perfect posture. Sedentary activity is what we should pay attention to. Staying in one position for an extended period of time is the problem.
🖥️ Ways to get moving during your workday could include getting a standing/sitting desk, or if safe for you, a walking pad or desk bike. Or setting your workspace in the most ergonomic position.
🛋️ For after work hours, this could include using different furniture in ur house, sitting at the kitchen table to eat then laying in ur bed, & sitting on different couches & chairs. As well as taking evening or morning walks around the neighborhood.
🔑 The key takeaway is taking breaks during ur work day or after each episode you watch to get up & stretch or do some exercise.

Catch us in part 2 to talk more about posture can contribute to pain & dysfunction.

If your shoulder isn’t moving well, everything else will feel it.

The posterior shoulder & upper back play a huge role in control, stability, and force transfer—especially in overhead athletes.

Dry needling + e-stim can help:
• decrease unnecessary muscle tone
• improve neuromuscular coordination
• restore smoother, more efficient movement

This isn’t just about “tight muscles”—it’s about improving how your body communicates and controls motion.

Did you know rest & ice are no longer the standard for an ankle sprain? Movement & load are the protocol. Save these exercises for next time you roll your ankle!

Foot & ankle range of motion. Get that mid foot moving & those tiny foot muscles as well as the ankle muscles.

Banded eversion to your tolerance & range of motion. Do some reps with a hold on the last rep.

Eccentric calf raises. Focus on pushing the big toe into the floor. Raise up with two feet & slowly come down using just the injured foot.

Thank you to I-Koach Fitness for hosting our “Lift Through It” workshop.

We discussed the realities behind common shoulder, hip, and foot injuries, why pain doesn’t always mean damage, and how proper load management and progressive rehab can keep people training strong.

Our goal is simple: help active adults stay in the gym, not on the sidelines. We appreciate opportunities to share evidence-based strategies with the local fitness community.

If your gym or organization would benefit from an educational workshop, we’d love to connect.

Bored of your core exercises? Elevate your classics with these two variations of the dead bug & bird dog.

💀🐞Keep good tension on your band & increase the tension as you’re able. Make sure the rib cage doesn’t flare & your low back stays glued to the floor.

🦜🐶Make sure you push away from the floor with your shoulders & don’t let the shoulders sink. Keep the traps loose & relaxed. Be controlled & coordinated when moving your limbs. Think slow & controlled over fast & wobbly.

We’re incredibly grateful for patients who trust us with their care and share their stories.

Snow day reminder ❄️

Before you grab the shovel, use the right technique to protect your back.
✔️ Bend at your knees, not your waist
✔️ Keep the shovel close to your body
✔️ Lift small amounts at a time
✔️ Turn with your feet, don’t twist your spine
Your back will thank you later 👏

If you feel sore or stiff after shoveling, we’re here to help.

Stay warm. Shovel smart. 💙

Too many people are neglecting their pelvic floor health & don’t know they even have a dysfunctional pelvic floor. If you suffer from deep groin pain, IBS, painful in*******se, or if you leak p*e when you laugh sneeze jump or get startled, try these out and see if your symptoms decrease.

😮‍💨Sucking in all the time inhibits your core muscles & your pelvic floor from working optimally together. This can lead to leaking, chronic tightness, and other symptoms.

👖High waisted or really tight waist lines do a passive version of sucking in your belly. Essentially your pants suck in so you don’t actively have to.

💢Body tension in one area can produce other areas of your body to also have tension. Relaxing and doing physical mindfulness of these areas will not only reduce the areas that you can see with tension but other places that you might have symptoms, but never knew were part of a bigger problem.

💩 IBS can both be factor contributing to a dysfunctional pelvic floor & also a symptom of a dysfunctional pelvic floor. Forceful pushing or holding in bowel movements can exacerbate your IBS & create other problems like pelvic floor dysfunction, back pain, hemorrhoids, etc.
