Hey Reader, Pain has a funny way of becoming background noise. You stop noticing it as something to fix and start navigating around it like furniture in a dark room. You just know where it is. So you adjust and you live with it and your brain forgets that it isn't supposed to be there. That's where I was with my foot. I was struggling with foot pain all throughout 2024 as I took care of my dad and he eventually passed. I didn't connect the two at first (anyone who has experience knows that...

Hey Reader, If you’ve ever wondered how much strength training you need for it to “count”, let me tell you what’s been working for me. Two days a week, I lift weights for about 45 minutes, although I’ll be honest that it takes about an hour if I scroll on my phone between sets. 🫣 Both days are built around what I call the Big 3 (aka the foundations of good movement): 👉 Squat 👉 Hip hinge 👉 Overhead reach Learn how to move well with the Big 3, and then gradually add weight. As long as you’re...

Hey Reader, April is almost over. So if you showed up for yourself this month, even if it was just once, and not perfect, and only 10 minutes on a Tuesday when you had nothing left…that counts. It all counts. We spend so much time waiting until we're ready enough, consistent enough, or caught up enough to start taking care of our bodies. As if feeling better is something we have to earn first. It's not. Your body doesn't need you to have it all figured out. It just needs you to keep coming...

Hey Reader, If your upper back, neck, or hips are holding onto tension right now, this video is just for you. 👉 Try this Upper Back Rollout I did it as a post-camping wind down once I got home on Sunday and let me tell ya, the difference you'll feel when you're done is kind of remarkable. It takes less than 10 minutes and this sequence is my go-to any time I need to unwind, whether that’s after a long week, a travel day, or an action-packed weekend of camping. There’s nothing quite like...

Hey Reader, If you have tension in your jaw (and if you've been alive during the last few years, you probably do), I have a super easy mobilization that’s going to feel like a deep exhale for your entire head and neck. 👉 It’s called the Jaw Pain Massage and you can click here to try it. You don’t need any equipment to get the most out of it, which means you can do it wherever life takes you this summer. Your jaw, your neck, and your nervous system are way more connected than most people...

Hey Reader, This weekend, I'm going on my first camping trip since my dad passed. He did everything for our trips, and I got to show up and just... camp. This time, I'm the one doing most of the hauling, packing, driving, and set up. But don’t worry, Anthony is in training mode 😂, and I'm realizing, yet again, just how much my dad did so we didn't have to. And even though I have shopping lists and packing lists and pre-flight checklists on repeat in my head, there’s one thing I’m not too...

Hey Reader, The one thing I wish more people understood about their bodies is that resting doesn’t fix anything. While it might help the pain decrease somewhat, it doesn’t resolve the underlying issue. Which means the pain will probably be back the minute you return to your workouts. Take my client Lea, for example. She started working with me again after a knee flare-up which made her worry that running was off the table. Instead of stopping, I built her a custom action plan with routines...

Hey Reader, Open your fridge right now and I'd bet you have ingredients. Maybe even some really good ones. But without a recipe, you're improvising. And I don’t know about you, but I’m not a chef and I’ll never win at Chopped. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stared at a bunch of ingredients, cobbled something together, and hoped it turned out okay. It might be edible, but it’s not the meal you were actually craving. 😭 Your mobility practice works the same way. You might have the tools....
