Practical flexibility applications

on October 15, 2009 | by

I’ve received a lot of questions regarding my stretching lately, especially after my 531 post, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to describe what I have going on and how I’m addressing it. In the Indy Seminar Series DVD’s, Bill outlines how to determine if a muscle is stiff or short. In […]

Public Service Announcement for A&C

on October 12, 2009 | by

I’ve gotten a rash of e-mails, Facebook messages and the like regarding Assess and Correct lately, so allow me to update everyone all at once. Obviously, things are going a little slower than we had expected. As we learned when we shot this video, there was a TON of information we wanted to cover. Between […]

Broscience Volume 1

on September 28, 2009 | by

This is going to be a new and ongoing series here on my blog. I’m going to evaluate statements that may sound great to the lay person, but when examined closely doesn’t hold much water. Today’s first installment is going to discuss some of the science behind flexibility and “short” muscles. Here’s a statement I’ve […]

on September 17, 2009 | by

I’m starting a new section on the blog today. It’s going to be called Mike’s Bookshelf, and I’m going to review current books I’ve read to keep up on the industry. In today’s edition, the book is the following: Stability, Sport, and Performance Movement: Great Technique Without Injury JoAnne Elphinston This book was brought to […]

RTS Blowout Sale

on August 31, 2009 | by

As many of you know, Bill Hartman, Eric Cressey, and I are very close to releasing a new product. In fact, we spent the weekend going through edits on the footage and pulling together the tag-along manuals. This new product includes a lot of our newer perspectives on assessment and corrective exercise. Many of the […]

Running and Knee Health

on August 20, 2009 | by

An IFAST member recently passed along the following article from the NY times. When you combine my affinity for anything knee related with the fact that it alludes to joint health benefits of exercise, I was immediately intrigued. Here’s the article: Can Running Actually Help Your Knees? So you read the title and think, “Cool, […]

My shoulders hurt!

on July 14, 2009 | by

Last week, I evaluated a potential new client at IFAST. She was in fantastic shape overall, as she’d already been exercising for over 5 years straight. The problem, however, was her shoulders – she was complaining of poor mobility, and some general pain and discomfort when exercising. As I was going through her assessment, it […]

Q&A: Knee pain

on July 3, 2009 | by

Mike, How much muscle can I gain in 12 weeks? (LOL, just kidding) To keep this short, years of motocross and bad knee genetics have left me with some pretty beat-up knees. Once the dislocation was so severe on left knee, I had to get it reworked via surgery. With that said, my question involves […]

The next level

on June 22, 2009 | by

I’ve got to admit, I’m freaking pumped. I was in a coffee shop last Wednesday night working on Eric, Bill and I’s new project, and I can’t get over how excited I am. When we created Magnificent Mobility, I feel like Eric and i brought dynamic flexibility/mobility training to the forefront. In fact, it grew […]

Back Pain Knowledge BOMBS

on April 10, 2009 | by

Today’s compilation of quotes is brought to us courtesy of the amazing Shirley Sahrmann. If you’re in the industry and haven’t picked up her book, Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes, it should definitely be your next pick-up. It’s a great resource. As well, I should reference the StrengthCoach.com website as well, as that’s […]

Q&A: Passive Knee Stability

on April 7, 2009 | by

Mike – I’ve torn my ACL; what are the repercussions if I don’t get it repaired? Thanks! When we talk about the role of the ACL, we have to discuss the difference between the active and passive stabilizers which surround your knee. Passive stabilizers don’t contract, yet restrict motion and keep your joint “tight.” These […]

Testimonial: Bulletproof Knees

on April 2, 2009 | by

Here’s a testimonial that I recently received. Kane came to me a little over a month ago with some pretty debilitating knee pain, and, well, I think the testimonial speaks for itself. Here goes: As a college basketball player I suffered through 4 years of knee pain, which never allowed me to preform at my […]

Hip Dysfunction = Knee Pain

on March 31, 2009 | by

I can’t tell you how many times myself (or Bill) evaluates a client at IFAST with knee pain and there’s associated hip dysfunction. It may not be 100%, but it’s pretty damn close! Hip mobility is absolutely vital when it comes to knee AND low back health. In fact, there’s research out there that correlates […]

A Stretching Fallacy

on February 3, 2009 | by

It’s my goal today to prove to you that just because something is tight DOES NOT mean it should be stretched. In an effort to do this, I’m going to give you not one, not two, but three examples of this. The first case is our hamstrings. I can’t tell you how many times people […]
