Isometrics are a staple in most programs for clients here at KinetX PT
Here are a few of many benefits:
——————————————————— Positive effect on tendon health
——————————————————— Improves muscle imbalance, neurological wiring and proprioceptive elements of muscle
———————————————————— Creates improved joint stability
———————————————————— Promotes recovery and less breakdown of tissue compared to other forms of exercise
————————————————————
• Here I am performing a reverse lunge isometric. They are much more difficult than they look! Give it a try or reach out to us to inquire about how isometrics might help you with any kind of chronic pain, injury or performance issue

Not every force acting on the body occurs in the “forward / backward” plane of motion. Challenging his ability to react to a force in the “side to side” plane of motion to facilitate the ability to stabilize his body through proper foot / ankle strategies.
Creating more resiliency of the physical body requires training it in multiple planes of motion!

Reflexive stabilization is a pre-requisite for coordinated movement. Here I also added a foam pad to challenge the proprioceptive input he is receiving through the sole of his foot

Awesome drill for improving your ability to stabilize yourself in the frontal (side to side) plane of motion which we could all use more of!

Meet Juanita, our Client Of The Week. ⁠
⁠
"I started training at Jada Blitz Fitness during the second quarter of 2019, at the encouragement of my son. He had been training at Jada Blitz for awhile and was obtaining really good results. I wanted to lose more weight, increase my stability, and be stronger. I have two artificial hips and one artificial knee and at first, I did not want to continue the process. Once COVID hit in 2020, along with everyone else, I stopped training."⁠
⁠
MY GOALS & BECOMING A PERSONAL TRAINING CLIENT⁠
⁠
Fast forward- I’ve lost 50 pounds in the last 2-3 years by changing my lifestyle and doing extensive walking and some bicycling. However, my one un-replaced knee has been giving me increasingly more problems but I don’t want surgery, if at all possible. My son continued to encourage me to start training again and also to see Dr Jimmy McMullen, whose office is at Jada Blitz. After working with Dr Jimmy, I experienced really great improvements with his physical therapy methods (which I’ve never had with previous physical therapist. I decided if I were to pick up training again, I wanted a trainer who would follow in his methodology. He recommended Travis who has been the perfect trainer for me! Travis listened to Dr Jimmy’s recommendations and it seems both of their methodologies align perfectly in helping me to increase stability, strength, and posture while working the whole body.⁠
⁠
Travis is very respectful, kind, friendly, and really cares about my progress. He carefully and quickly adjusts the exercises to my needs. If doing something hurts, he quickly adjusts it or gives cues which stop the pain while producing the desired affects. I’m working muscles I didn’t know I had. It has become very evident of how they all work together to strengthen and stabilize the whole body. Most of my issues have been with lower body joints, I played several sports throughout my younger and early to mid-adult life.⁠

One of my favorite ways to mobilize the groin with a little bit of thoracic rotation in the mix
Give it a try!

Make health and wellness a journey, not a destination
With relation to physical therapy, I sometimes see clients who learn techniques to feel and move better only to go back to old habits and tendencies once reaching this goal. As a result, old issues sometimes return
Lasting change must come from a change in habits, especially when it relates to physical health
With that being said, it’s important for you to learn and understand concepts and strategies that can be implemented into your life when it comes to creating change and progressing towards improving overall health and longevity. Health and wellness in general needs to be looked at as a continuous yet manageable process without an end date to see optimal results

When it comes to pain and injuries, you cannot go back into the past and change what happened. However, you can cultivate new experiences NOW, which will ultimately become a part of your past. So you essentially train your brain and nervous system to predict differently in the future
This is a key concept with rehab and training because with investment in a properly programmed routine, you have the opportunity to change
For example, just because you had PAIN or an injury with deadlifting years ago, that is no reason to ever deadlift again (contrary to some medical experts advice)
The goal is to progressively expose your body to movements that your nervous system deems “unsafe”, and utilize techniques that make it feel “safe” again. And this is where the positive change occurs

To kick off year 2020 I’m sure many of you have new goals, lifestyle changes and healthy habits you want to implement into your lives
Personally I’m not a huge fan of setting resolutions, but rather setting objective and achievable milestones that will help you to create a healthy, active and sustainable lifestyle on a daily basis
One particular category that may be the most common when setting goals for the new year often comes down to exercise
People often set the resolution of “exercising more” which in my opinion doesn’t lead to long term routines/results as much as setting objective goals such as training 3-4x a week for 45 minutes as an example. This may seem very obvious, but I see this happen time and time again
If you live in the Buffalo area you NEED to check out as your new home gym. This is truly a state of the art facility and I couldn’t be more grateful to have my PT business operate out of this location. breeds excellence when it comes to your physical and nutritional goals
You may be someone that wants to make exercise a more regular part of your life, but lingering aches and pains are limiting your physical performance or perhaps preventing you from going to the gym all together. If this sounds like you, please STOP waiting and hoping for time to fix this issue, and invest in yourself to have a professional assess your problem
KinetX PT is a great option for you to rely on for improving pain and performance, and we have the reviews to prove it. We are here to help you start the new year right
Cheers to the new year and an improved you

Great concept for those struggling with a plateau in either the fitness or rehab world!
Increasing the intensity/frequency of your routine may only get you so far. This is why addressing many systems of the brain/body may remove the lynchpin holding you back from reaching your physical/rehabilitative goals!
Contact me to learn more or to see how this style of physical therapy can benefit you!
