[Dr. Susan Kang @Susan_DPT]

there is no holy grail exercise—please read that again lol

what actually helps is making sense of your situation together 🤝

[Dr. Susan Kang @Susan_DPT]

Everything in your program should earn its place.

If it’s not producing a benefit, it’s producing fatigue.

Don’t let your programming ruin your athletic potential.

[Dr. Susan Kang @Susan_DPT]

Just my two cents for runners.

You don’t need to be strength training more than 2-3x/week.

[Dr. Susan Kang @Susan_DPT]

Instead, you can do 3 well-placed sessions instead of 5 scattered ones.

The intensity has to match your sport.
Hard when it needs to be hard, easy when it needs to be easy.

No middle-ground junk volume.

[Dr. Susan Kang @Susan_DPT]

Movement is not just about muscles working individually.

It is about how the body organizes itself to handle force, stress, and stability.

The goal is to create a system stable enough to perform and flexible enough to survive.

[Dr. Susan Kang @Susan_DPT]

Injury is rarely a singular, isolated event.
It's a system breaking down.

[Dr. Susan Kang @Susan_DPT]

The relationship between the two is everything.

Too much stability and you lose the ability to respond.
Too much variability and the system becomes unpredictable.

[Dr. Susan Kang @Susan_DPT]

Beware what you see or hear on the internet.

The ones that have no business talking continue to keep people training less, fearing movement, and staying stuck.

You deserve better information 👍🏻

“My PT said my glutes are weak and THAT’S why I’m injured”

everyone has weak glutes now apparently.

Glute strength alone doesn’t prevent injury. Capacity, load management, and training history matter way more than one “weak” muscle being the villain.
