Think ‘Tennis Elbow’ is just for tennis players? Think again! 🎾

Lateral Epicondylitis is a fancy name for overloaded tendons on the outside of your elbow.

Repeated overload and not enough recovery can lead to weak, sensitive and angry tendons. Make sure you listen to your body before it forces you to stop 🛑

Have you ever dealt with, or are dealing with this pain? Our friendly and experienced team are very well equipped for helping with everything tennis elbow related!

Here’s Josh breaking down the first major shift in exercise guidelines in 17 years, recently published by the American College of Sports Medicine.

The biggest takeaway? ➡️ Consistency beats complexity — every single time.

At Reflex-18, that’s always been our approach. We believe in keeping things “low friction.” No overwhelming 60-minute rehab plans that get abandoned after three days — just realistic, sustainable movement that fits into real life.

In line with the 2026 ACSM guidance, we focus on:

✅ Sustainable habits — small daily wins over occasional “hero” workouts
✅ Local support — being a friendly, supportive part of the community that keeps you accountable
✅ Real-world strength — helping you stay strong for the things that matter, whether that’s a weekend walk or carrying the shopping without your back giving out

The bottom line ➡️ The pressure to be perfect is gone. Science now officially supports what we’ve believed all along: showing up consistently — even for a simple 20-minute session — is one of the most powerful things you can do for your long-term health, recovery, and wellbeing. 💪

Weak ankles don’t just affect your feet — they can change the way your whole body moves. 👣➡️🦵

When ankle mobility or stability is compromised, the knees often take on extra stress, leading to pain, imbalance, and recurring injuries.

In this video, Josh breaks down the connection between ankle injuries and knee pain.

Aging well isn’t about slowing down — it’s about staying strong enough to keep doing the things you love. 💪

Strength training helps older adults maintain balance, mobility, confidence, and independence in everyday.

Muscle is one of the biggest protectors against falls, frailty, and loss of independence. It’s never too late to start building strength.

Pain is more than just physical 👇
