The one thing they don't mention is be alert. Big boats don't always see wave runners.

I gave these NOBULL shoes a try on a recommendation from a great friend of the office. I am impressed very comfortable. I only have about 12 miles on them running so I will see if they last like the HOKA’s I usually wear.

I’m out of the office until next Tuesday. Be safe and have a great Memorial Day weekend.

To all the mothers investing time and energy in their children and grandchildren, Happy Mother’s Day!

You sit down at your office desk or in your car, and within 10 minutes, a sickening, toothache-like pain starts burning deep inside your glute. It feels like you are sitting directly on a sharp metal spike.

Naturally, you think: "My hamstrings are just tight."

So, you stand up and do what everyone tells you to do. You stretch. You try to touch your toes, you force your leg onto a bench, or you use a lacrosse ball to aggressively roll out the painful spot.

But instead of getting better, the burning gets worse.

Here is the truth and is often missed. Your hamstrings are NOT tight. Your tendon is being physically crushed and sheared under a 60-pound bony anvil.

The High Risk Impingement Zone: The entire weight of your upper torso plunges directly down onto that bony peak in your pelvis.

Every minute you sit, you are starving that tendon of oxygen and blood flow, leading to decay (Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy).

If you aggressively stretch your hamstring in this position (or touch your toes), you are NOT releasing tension. You are physically prying the micro-tearing tendon further off its bony attachment site!

It is like trying to fix a fraying rope by pulling on both ends while it's wrapped around a sharp rock. You are accelerating the tear.

This massive misdiagnosis costs patients thousands of dollars in useless cortisone shots—which chemically dissolve the remaining healthy collagen—and unnecessary orthopedic surgeries.

Stop stretching a tearing rope. Decompress the bone, rebuild the cushion, and restore the flow. Strengthen the glutes, better chair cushion, and sit less.

The Self-Assessment Test:
Does your glute pain spike and burn when you sit on a hard wooden chair, but significantly backs off on a soft couch?

If yes, your tendon is being mechanically crushed.
