Do y’all remember when Wilford Brimley was the spokesman for Oatmeal? Well…now he is a spokesman for diabetes supplies!

Here is a simple experiment: Have a breakfast consisting of 3-4 scrambled eggs with spinach, olive oil and whatever spices you might want. See how you feel 4-5 hours later. The next morning have a bowl of oatmeal. Kick up your heals and add a ban......

Certain movements such as D-ball Slams and Wall Ball may appear to be contra-indicated in situations such as hip or knee replacement. Not so! Once a safe movement base of squats (above 90* for both these populations) is established (Read Greg Everett’s article on the squat for squat info) one may progress to both these movements by shortening the range of movement, keeping the load nominal, and insisting on PERFECT form. One may shorten the ROM of the D-ball by slamming to one or two stack......

Shoes Suck. Ok they are nice if you work construction or see Code Browns in a hospital but if you are one of those people who like to run…ditch your shoes. Why? Modern running footwear is designed for one purpose: to allow you to perform a powerful heel strike without crushing your leg…all at once, it just takes a little more time. They are also a nice way of fleecing you of your cash. Biomechanical analysis shows unshod running to be 2-5% more efficient than shod running. For scie......

The post workout period is the preferred time to perform intensive stretching, as the tissues are still warm and pliable. Before you get jiggy with Pigeon Pose or Dead Bug, however, get your soft tissue primed for release and healing by using a foam roller. Foam rolling, like Active Release Technique and other similar modalities, break up adhesions and encourage the healing of scar tissue.......

The integrity and health of your soft tissue is vital not only to continued progress, but also to maximizing your longevity as an athlete, whether competitive or recreational. If you are plagued by aches, pains or limited range of movement, you may have significant scar tissue or adhesions that may improve with various modalities and interventions.
