A patient’s compliance is not just the patient’s responsibility
I’ve detailed my health insurance issues before. With the new laws taking effect soon I was researching things again. I came across this great discussion of Obamacare on Reddit. Really, I was just looking for an easy to understand summation, and the thread provides that. A doctor then weighed in on what was about to […]

Here is Neal when he first started with me: And ~6 weeks later: That’s a fantastic change. Great job Neal. Keep up the good work. – Train with me. I […]
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. […]

Misunderstanding “shoulders down and back”
January 6, 2020
A homosapien asks, “I’ve read one of your recommended books, Exercises for Common Hip and Shoulder Dysfunctions, awhile back. Dr Osar says that when doing rows, shrugs, bench presses, and pushups, he doesn’t recommend pulling the shoulders down and back, and rather keep them in neutral position, with slight protraction and retraction during the movement.

Overhead Shrugs vs Regular Shrugs
December 16, 2019
A human being asks, “Is there a particular reason why overhead shrug is better for improving a low shoulder than just a regular shrug?
