As the new year kicks off, and motivation is peaking, remember the results you achieve are going to come from 2 main things:

How CONSISTENT you are and the PATIENCE you display

The CDC recommends performing cardio before weightlifting.

The CDC recommends squatting to parallel.

❌ Myth: Bad posture causes pain.

✅ Fact: There is no such thing as ‘perfect posture.’ No position nor posture is a direct cause of pain. However, pain can arise from sustained static positioning.

🔑 Key: Get up, move around more often to prevent pain from sustained positions.

[Dr. Brandon Baranzini, PT, DPT @ziniphysio]

❌ Myth: “No pain, no gain”

🟢 Fact: Treatments and workouts should be painless most of the time!

If you’re being treated for an overuse injury, such as tendinitis, you should not push through the pain.

[Dr. Brandon Baranzini, PT, DPT @ziniphysio]

Remember to pause, look in the mirror and appreciate how far you’ve come!

What’s the one thing standing between you and your goals?

➡️ CONSISTENCY ⬅️

Want to lose weight? Consistency.

Want to rehab faster? Consistency.

Want to build muscle? Consistency.

[Dr. Brandon Baranzini, PT, DPT @ziniphysio]

A dynamic warm-up can be vital to optimal performance.

On the other hand, pre-event static stretching can reduce power output/force production and therefore contribute detrimentally to your performance.

The 2021 revision of the clinical practice guideline from the JOSPT states there is strong evidence to support a positive effect of utilizing an exercise-based intervention strategy for chronic low back pain.

Are you surprised?

Nope, me neither.

[Dr. Brandon Baranzini, PT, DPT @ziniphysio]

Pain is influenced by the interaction between biological, psychological, and sociological factors.

Utilizing a full ROM whilst exercising undoubtedly almost ALWAYS trumps 1/2 repping exercises until the cows come home 🐄🏡

Omicron is spreading at a rate we have not seen with any previous variant. I need to be very clear: vaccines alone will not get any country out of this crisis.
It’s not vaccines instead of masks, distancing, ventilation or hand hygiene.
Do it all. Do it consistently. Do it well.

Total hip replacements aren’t just for older individuals. I’m 32, and I’ve been functioning at a high level with one since I was 19. When medically necessary, the surgery opens many more doors than it closes. I’m thankful for the opportunities it’s provided.

Popular opinion:

❌ You should STOP moving after injury…

Unpopular opinion:

✅ You should MOVE as much as tolerated during the acute phase of injury to promote a timely healing response…
