Go beyond the basics. A monthly deep dive into health and injury prevention built on our five elements: MOVE, FUEL, RECOVER, ENDURE, and CONNECT.
Getting "ready" everyday for work and life comes with MANY different routines. If nothing else, there's a specific routine for simple things (socks BEFORE shoes). This month we make the case for another CRITICAL part of the routine - readying the body & mind for the action of the day. MOVE, like a body should...everyday!
The FUEL good pyramid is pretty simple, do what's tried & true, 80% of the time or more. Today we go into the other 20%.
RECOVER is a critical for future health. This month we do a refresher on one of the most powerful areas for future health.
The heat of the summer adds risk and inches us closer to our body's threshold. This month we talk more about the threshold, what raises/lowers it, and how simple improvements in movement can make a significant difference.
October is a great month of the year to get back to getting strong. From an injury, illness and disease prevention perspective, it's one of the best tools we have and gets better with age!
Take a deeper dive into hydration - when we need to focus on it, why we care about it, and how we go about addressing it.
Lifting is a 'fundamental shape of life.' Despite the occasional bad rap, it is NOT inherently bad...but is often a common cause of injury. So - what actually matters? How do we put ourselves in a position to make the 'lifting shapes of life' a STRENGTH vs. a risk?
Keeping knee joints healthy and young can help us maintain a quality life long term. Thankfully we've learned a lot about what really drives pain in this area and how to stay ahead of it. Dive in for the details!
By far the most commonly limiting area of the body. This month we unravel some of the mystery of low back pain. We break down some common myths & history, patterns to consider, and strategies to navigate a new or old flair.
Shoulder discomfort is on the rise. Over the last several months it's been the most common reason for consultation at employer clients. Dive in to learn a bit more about "why" shoulders hurt.....what they are "supposed to do", how to test them and get them back to where they need to be.
Winter is HERE and the body has to deal with it....now what? Understanding the risks of a cold & slippery season is important for putting the odds in our favor!
