Hi everyone, I’m looking for 5 people over the age of 40 that want to make a positive change in their life through fitness in the next 30 days.

If you or someone you know is interested send me a message :)

What does your Posture say about you? 🤔
〰️〰️〰️
Posture is a snap shot of a persons movement pattern.
〰️〰️〰️
It gives us a clue into the stresses imposed on the individual from a day to day basis.
〰️〰️〰️
This patient came to me for chronic back pain. During the physical exam we found her to be a dominant chest breather with weak and inhibited glutes, core musculature, and severe valgus collapse with the squat.
〰️〰️〰️
Things take time and consistency. And with a decade+ of chronic pain progress will be slow but slight changes in posture validate me that we are in the right direction.

Now accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO!
〰️〰️〰️
Working with insurances is a hassle and insurances typically don’t have the best interest for the patient, that’s why I have stayed away from insurance as long as I can.
〰️〰️〰️
However! A lot of my patients have really good insurance that they want to use and so to serve you better I have decided to accept insurance(BCBSIL PPO)😁

This diagram illustrates the concept of the “Joint by Joint” approach.
〰️〰️〰️〰️
The joint by joint approach was popularized by Gray Cook and Mike Boyle.
〰️〰️〰️〰️
Essentially this approach categorized joints/regions of the body into two categories based on their inherent anatomy; stable and require mobility, or mobile and need stability.
〰️〰️〰️〰️
This can be an over simplification as all joints need both, however it is a great starting point and can aid coaches as well as athletes in understanding their bodies.
〰️〰️〰️〰️
For example let’s look at the spine.
〰️〰️〰️〰️
The thoracic spine is considered stable and needs mobility as the ribs attach to our thoracic vertebrae.
〰️〰️〰️〰️
The lumbar spine on the other hand is considered mobile and requires stability, which is why the most common levels of degenerative disc/joint disease are seen in the lumbar spine.
〰️〰️〰️〰️
Now let’s compare the lumbar spine to the cervical (neck) spine. Both regions of the body are classified as mobile areas that require stability. But when you compare them to each other you could classify the lumbar spine as stable (due to the organs, muscle and other tissues surrounding the area) as compared to the cervical spine.
〰️〰️〰️〰️
All joints of the body must do their job, otherwise some get overworked.

Are all calories the same?
〰️〰️〰️
If you eat a snickers bar and an avocado(depending on the size) you are getting roughly the same amount of calories from each. But are they the same? 🍫 🥑
〰️〰️〰️
Well yes! Calories are just a unit of potential energy in a food. 🔥
〰️〰️〰️
If you work out like a maniac then calories are your fuel, regardless of where you get them from. ⛽️
〰️〰️〰️
However most people workout for health reasons, and food is no longer just fuel. Food is medicine!
〰️〰️〰️
While a snickers bar and an avocado may have the same amount of calories, the avocado has fiber and micronutrients that the snickers bar does not offer.
〰️〰️〰️
So are calories the same? Yes, but food is much more than just fuel and calories.

Memorial Day Murph.
〰️〰️〰️
A day to honor and mourn for those who served and lost their lives in duty. 🇺🇸
