Tom Tries - a new project I can’t wait to share with you all. Come push past discomfort with me.

Good training shouldn’t hurt you, but can it be good enough to prevent you from getting hurt? Post by @thestrengthcontinuum .. The short answer is no, it can’...t. There are way too many things that go into getting injured - both acutely and chronically. .. The long answer, however, is that while it cannot necessarily prevent you from getting injured, it can likely minimize the potential or risk for you to get injured. .. So, what exactly is good training when you are looking to decrease injury risk? .. This meta-analysis from 2014 took a look at a variety of studies looking at different training programs and how they related to decreasing injury risk. .. The findings are pretty clear in showing that the narrative of stretching pre and/or post activity is needed to not get hurt aren’t really supported in the slightest. .. Call us a broken record, but strength training does a whole lot more for you than make you ‘big and bulky’. .. Stay tuned for later when we dive into more research on strength training to minimize injury risk. .. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/48/11/871.long .. #strength #strengthtraining #sportsperformance #weights #agility #gym #workout #fitness #rehab #physio #crossfit #gym #muscle #injury See more

Still a few spots open.

It's that time of year where I remind all of my current and possible patients to check when their extended health care benefits reset. For most of you it will be December 31st. Make sure you don't let them go to waste!
