WHY DO PEOPLE FIND IT ACCEPTABLE TO LIVE WITH PAIN?
How many times have you heard someone say?…
“Oh..its just my back…”
or
”This is my bad knee.”
It is completely unacceptable to live as if there is
no other way.
Why do People wear their pain like a new pair of shoes?
Did you know?
90% of Americans suffer from chronic pain right now!
Nearly all people have experienced some sort of chronic or recurring pain at some point
in their lives.
The most common form of pain experienced is low back pain.
Neck and shoulder pain are a close second followed by knee and hip pain.
I am not telling you anything that you didn’t already know,
right?!
Heck…even the general population, the fitness consumer,
our “target market” of potential prospects knows that!
BUT WHY DO WE ACCEPT THAT??
WHY DON’T WE FIGHT BACK??
YOU, as a fitness professional, have all the tools, all the knowledge, all the
passion and desire, and all the skills to destroy these dysfunctional patterns.
YOU have a secret weapon….
YOU have Ninja skills!
YOU see human motion in a different way.
YOU love to analyze and break down the dysfunctional movement in the body.
YOU need to rebuild and restore optimal function so your client can live an exceptional life….WITHOUT PAIN!
And face it….this economy, (yeah yeah) STILL STINKS! If your services
are essential to your client’s quality of life..and not a luxury, your business
will be MORE SECURE!
If you make yourself an INVALUABLE asset to your client,
they will sacrifice anything to keep you.
Make Them Need You!
Without producing positive functional change, without consistency in your business,
your financial lifestyle will always be in jeopardy!
No Joke!
YOU love what you do right?
Make sure your business is secure and always…
DO WHAT YOU LOVE!

1.single leg bridging
2.Single leg Donkey kicks on all fours leg bent at knee at90degress,)heel kicking towards celling
3.While upright kneeling on knees swing slowly back as tolerated and return to upright
As an endurance type “light workout” on non squating day
I have heard the knee is “dumb Joint”… it responds to what is going on above and below it. Always look up and down the myofacial line and usually the trainer can find the problem.
Sorry for incorrect spelling of “myofascial” above-not proofreading!
I personally have an issue with a severely pronated (ugly bunion included) right foot which limits a successful lunge fwd or backwards. My right knee has turned in medially from the time I was a child. It affects my balance..What exercises should I be doing. SL suspended lunges on TRX have helped a bit..It affect my confidence in group strength classes and I sometimes find myself going light in that area..Help??
DeDee.. I also have pes planus and pronate excessively bilaterally, rt greater than lt. Whether barefoot in Yoga or in tennis shoes, try bracing your rt longitudinal arch by stepping halfway onto a rolled up towel. Adjust the positioning and height of support you require until it just plain feels right.!
If this seems to correct or at least significantly decrease your medial knee discomfort during squatting type motions, and increases stability during balance poses, you amy want to consider orthotic correction. Good luck..!
