“Feeling” vs. “Being” Tight (and why stretching doesn’t always help)
“Feeling” and “Being” tight are 2 very different things. When I learned that, the game changed for my clients. Early in my career, I had a large group of clients who consistently came in saying they “felt tight”. That they did all their stretches, and that it felt good in the moment. However, relief never… READ MORE
Stop worrying, and start living.
I love a good myth-busting sesh, and wanted to bring that here today because it’s been awhile! You know what I’m talking about. The classic, “joints are wearing out”, it’s the “worst x-ray the doc has ever seen”, and “stretch more to prevent injury”. We hear this kind of stuff from our clients all the… READ MORE

Get better results when training around chronic pain! (guest post from Megan Pomarensky)

Likely some combination of different exercises, movement screens, and tests, ending… READ MORE
You can’t prevent injuries (guest post from Megan Pomarensky)

Injuries are inevitable. Unless your clients never do new or hard things, and stay far away from other people, vehicles, and objects, the odds are pretty good that one… READ MORE
