Thank you for running the Rainbow Deadlift Showdown this past weekend!

It was a great time watching strong folks lift heavy weight! They were able to fundraise for incredible groups here in Atlanta.

We were honored to be included in the health fair and even snag some sweet raffle prizes.

Keep your eye out for next year. You don't want to miss it!

Shout out to SP athlete, Joe, for making it all the way to Semis in the Crossfit Games and placing in the top 100 in the WORLD. He even PR'd his DL along the way with 415 # !

Ever had pain with opening a jar, holding your tennis racquet, or lifting a pan while cooking?

You've tried some massage, some ice to your wrist or elbow, even taking something for the pain. That helps, but the pain keeps coming back the next day, or sometimes even within minutes after the ice or massage?

You're not alone. We see people with wrist and elbow pain all the time. Although we frequently see if among tennis players, throwing athletes, and folks with jobs that require using hand tools for repeated tasks, it can truly happen to anyone.

There is no one fix for everyone, but most of the time, increasing the load tolerance via strengthening the area, modifying activities when possible, and pain modulation via targeted soft tissue work will go a long way towards getting back to 100%.

If this sounds like you, then give us a call because we can help. In the meantime, try out the exercises in this video to help with strength and motor control through the wrist and elbow.

The Impact of Crossfit on Low Back Pain

This study looked at the prevalence of low back pain in Crossfit athletes compared to non-Crossfit participants, as well as if Crossfit participation could have a potential protective or detrimental effect on low back pain.

This was an observational study in which 223 Crossfit participants and 156 sedentary individuals were included.

The main findings were:

The prevalence of low back pain in Crossfitters was 41%.
The prevalence of low back pain in non-Crossfitters was 59%.
Among all individuals who experienced low back pain, Crossfit participants had a lower intensity of pain and were able to maintain higher levels of activity.
Crossfitters who trained without coach supervision were more likely to require longer/additional treatment, including medication, compared to those who did have supervision.

So what are our takeaways?

This definitely fits our biases, but overall, being active is better for decreasing likelihood of low back pain than leading a sedentary lifestyle.
When low back pain does occur, being fitter and stronger will help you deal with the bout of pain better.
Crossfitters, especially beginners, should have appropriate coaching/supervision to ensure they are performing all their movements with good form.

We will always try to keep our clients moving, and we love working with Crossfitters. If you know any Crossfit athlete, or someome thinking about starting, please share this with them!

When it comes to foot and heel pain, you have more options than just stretching your calf and rolling out your foot.

If you're sidelined from foot pain, we can offer a unique perspective to keep you active and move better.

From dialing in body mechanics to keeping you lifting strong (and pain-free), this is what it’s all about.

You can keep searching…
or you can just start lifting.

Most running “issues” aren’t a mystery,
they’re a strength problem.

We’ll show you exactly what to do!
