Pain in the Neck
What isn’t, right?! This is likely especially true if you spend ample amounts of time at a computer or workstation. Posture is a practice and worth your time-your neck will thank you!
Pain in the Back
Welcome to the club. Not many of us get out of this life without a back injury-we just were not made to do what most of us do. But fear not because we’ve got you covered. Your spine is robust and strong. We will teach you how to take care of your back and stay strong!
Shoulder Pain
Put your stress elsewhere! Your shoulders don’t need to carry it all. Our shoulders are not designed to carry heavy loads far away from the body or spend sustained time in overhead positions. But staying strong and knowing your limits will keep you clear of injury.
Wrist Pain
And dare we say it…carpal tunnel syndrome! Luckily there are many conservative ways to manage and prevent both wrist pain and carpal tunnel syndrome! Let us tell you all our tricks and exercise secrets for the wrist!
Knee Pain
It doesn’t discriminate across the ages! Whether you are young or old, knee pain has a way of coming after all of us! But we have great news-you can almost always kiss it goodbye with the right strength and stability exercises
Pain in your Hip
Can be a real pain in the butt-pun intended! We know how irritating hip pain can be and certainly don’t want you to carry on thinking that there is no other way! Don’t worry, we have lots of great tips to share. You can save your pains in the butt for other life matters
Foot Pain
Is the worst! When we stand all day, foot pain can be more irritating than just about anything else. It’s always surprising how much we take comfort in our feet for granted! Do not despair, we have some great tips for you!
Elbow Pain
Is NO joke! We are pretty sure that you would take a smack across the “funny bone” to the unpleasant symptoms of “tennis elbow” any day, but either way, nobody thinks elbow pain is anything worth laughing about!
Handy Moves
Pay attention to your hands-they are more important than you think! A strong grip strength is correlated with a strong and powerful shoulder. If you think your hands are getting weaker, you are likely putting your shoulder at risk too! Here are some tips to keep your hands and thumbs moving RIGHT.
