Issues with foam rolling
Foam rolling is one of those polarizing topics. To some it’s another coming of Christ; others swear it doesn’t do anything. Hell, some say it’s detrimental. These argumenters will go into all the physiology, what happens during massage, what scar tissue is, etc. and try to make an argument from that angle. This has confused […]
How to be a good client / An update on Jeremy
March 18, 2013
I went back and forth between quoting and screen shotting emails from Jeremy. The quotes are easier to read but the pictures help solidify a testimonial. Click any of the pictures to enlarge. In early February I wrote a post Example of a postural assessment. This will make more sense with that as your preface. Because […]
Proper form for the Bird Dog exercise
February 27, 2013
When I first have someone perform an exercise I’d say something like 80% do it sub par, 5% do it well, and 15% make me say “Holy hell stop moving now.” For the Bird Dog, it’s more like 100% need to stop moving now. I just never see people do this well without extensive instruction. […]
The rotator cuff is not a muscle
February 12, 2013
In my post on the anatomy of the IT band I mentioned the band is consistently talked about like it’s a muscle, when in fact it is a band comprised of multiple muscles. It’s not a muscle; it’s made of muscles. The rotator cuff is similar. The rotator cuff is not a muscle; it is […]
Example of a postural assessment
February 6, 2013

With the latter I have to rely more on pictures and videos. I thought going through a person’s standing photos (assessing posture and alignment) illustrating what I look for would […]
Just when you lost hope… (Also, shoulder pain? Stop doing rows)
October 26, 2012
A couple notes before this: -Naveen left out he was in pain for nearly 3 years before I saw him. Think about this. 3 YEARS of different physical therapists, different rehab programs on his own, surgery, having to do his own research, learning anatomy on his own, you name it, Naveen tried it. -Ironically, despite my […]
Assessing shoulder motion (an illustration of humeral anterior glide pain)
June 23, 2012
I recently had this exchange and thought others could potentially benefit from it: From Tyler (in italics; I’m always in bold): “I’ve been reading a few of your articles and discussions on T-Nation and I was wondering if I could ask you a few things regarding my shoulder issue. I’m a pitcher and I’ve […]
Age is not an excuse to be out of shape

Comments Off on Age is not an excuse to be out of shape
I swear I hear something about my age at least once a week. Once I graduated college I moved out to San Diego. Somehow it just happened I went from primarily hanging out with people who were the same age as me, to where now I am around people who are primarily older than me. […]
