To all my patients… I also hate side planks. 😂

But I still do them.

Why? Because they’re one of the best exercises we have for challenging the glute medius—a muscle that’s essential for pelvic stability, hip control, and efficient movement. Research consistently shows side plank variations produce high levels of glute med activation.

This week was a win for me: I progressed from modified side planks to full side planks for 30 seconds × 3 sets.

It doesn’t sound glamorous, but it’s a milestone in my own rehab after pregnancy and while continuing to manage an old disc herniation.

The best rehab programs aren’t built around your favorite exercises.

They’re built around the exercises you need.

So yes… I’ll keep doing my side planks. 😅

This Independence Day, we’re celebrating more than fireworks and backyard BBQs.

We’re celebrating family time, lake days, and the freedom to move.

To run around with your kids.
To paddle out on the water.
To take a walk after dinner.
To play one more game in the yard.
To stay active while making the most of vacation.

Movement is part of the good stuff.

Wherever you’re celebrating today, stay safe, stay active, and enjoy the moments that matter most.

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from the Modern Movement team.

Your PTs need rehab too.

People sometimes assume that because we’re physical therapists, we never deal with injuries, setbacks, or seasons where training feels harder than it should.

The truth?

We’re human too.

I’m one year postpartum, and this past year has challenged me in ways I never expected.

For the first seven months, my son woke every 2–3 hours, night after night. Sleep deprivation became the norm. At one point, I was dealing with 5 moderate-to-severe migraines every week. Training wasn’t just difficult—it often wasn’t possible.

Now he’s waking just once or twice a night, and things are finally improving. My migraines are down to 1–2 mild headaches a week, and I’m slowly rebuilding.

I’m also training around an old lumbar disc herniation.

That doesn’t mean I’m broken.

It means my program has to respect where my body is today while continuing to build toward where I want to go tomorrow.

That’s the mindset I try to bring to rehab: respect the history, work with the body in front of us, and keep moving forward.

We don’t ignore your history.

We don’t let it define you either.

Recovery isn’t about finding the perfect body.

It’s about building a resilient one.

Whether you’re coming back from an injury, navigating postpartum, dealing with chronic pain, or simply trying to get stronger despite life’s chaos…

Progress isn’t always linear.

But showing up consistently beats waiting for perfect every single time.

Because even your PT has to earn their strength.

🚒 Strong Mechanics Save Backs

Firefighters don’t get to call a timeout when their back starts hurting.

They’re carrying 80+ pounds of gear, climbing stairs, crawling into tight spaces, lifting patients, and making split-second decisions under fatigue.

So when we worked with the Bismarck Fire Department, we didn’t waste time on shortcuts.

We focused on what actually matters:

✅ Building a resilient core that can handle heavy loads
✅ Maintaining hip mobility so movement comes from the right places
✅ Improving mechanics to reduce unnecessary stress on the low back
✅ Creating capacity for the demands of the job

Because back injuries aren’t always caused by one bad lift.

They’re often the result of poor movement, reduced mobility, and a body that isn’t prepared for the demands placed on it.

Strong mechanics save backs.

Not luck.
Not stretching once in a while.
Not hoping your body holds up.

Train for the demands of your life, your sport, or your profession.

Your body will thank you later.

Most physical therapy is designed to get you back to baseline.

We’re not interested in baseline.

We’re interested in helping you become stronger, more resilient, and more capable than before the injury happened.

Pain relief is important.

But pain relief without strength, confidence, and capacity is temporary.

At Modern Movement, we don’t just ask, “Does it hurt?”

We ask:

Can your body handle what life demands of it?

Because that’s where real transformation happens.

Progress isn’t slow—it’s cumulative.

What you do consistently over weeks beats what you do aggressively for days.
