Welcome to today's episode where we will be discussing the importance of functional fitness for older and more mature adults. As we age, it is vital to remain active and independent. However, many people may feel hesitant to perform daily tasks such as lifting or bending over due to a fear of injury. In fact, a lack of activity can lead to a decrease in bone density and an increased risk of fracturing a hip.
So, what can be done to maintain one's bone density and overall health? The answer lies in functional fitness. It is crucial to not only move but to load the joint in order to maintain bone density. This can be achieved through exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and lunges.
It may be difficult to find motivation to exercise, especially if it has not been a part of one's routine. However, it is essential to be disciplined and make time for exercise. Aim for 30 minutes to an hour of functional exercise three to five days a week. If you are unsure where to start, a physical therapist can be an excellent resource.
In summary, staying active and exercising regularly is essential for maintaining independence and staying healthy as we age. Don't let a fear of injury hold you back from performing daily tasks. Embrace functional fitness and maintain your bone density to ensure a healthy and active lifestyle. Thank you for listening to today's episode.

This episode was recorded around New Year's but it is still relevant now. Danielle and Edwin delve into the topic of New Year's resolutions and how they approach their own personal and professional goals. Edwin shares his goals of being more mindful of the business side of things, traveling more, prioritizing his fitness, and setting up a newsletter for his community. He stresses the importance of setting achievable goals and consistently working towards them.
The hosts discuss breaking down larger goals into smaller and attainable pieces, such as setting six-month, three-month, and weekly goals. This allows individuals to focus on the smaller steps needed to reach their larger goals. They also suggest being consistent with goals and not being too hard on oneself if a day is missed.
Moreover, the hosts emphasize the value of setting New Year's resolutions both personally and professionally. The start of a new year provides a great opportunity to reflect on what one wants to achieve in different areas of life. The hosts also suggest starting a journal club as a way of holding oneself accountable and staying on track with goals.
In conclusion, this podcast provides insightful tips and ideas on how to approach goal-setting and achieving New Year's resolutions. Breaking down larger goals, being consistent, and setting achievable goals are key takeaways from this episode.

In this episode of the podcast, Danielle and Edwin delve into the topic of recovery systems and tools that can help improve blood flow, decrease soreness, and increase plasma flow. They discuss the benefits of compression therapy, including the use of hyper ice units and massage chairs, as well as the importance of using heat before an activity to prepare the muscles for exercise. Ice can also be beneficial, but it ultimately depends on the individual's needs.
They also explore the benefits of cold plunge therapy, which can reduce cortisol levels, increase metabolism, and even release dopamine. They recommend doing cold plunges for 11 minutes a week to reap the benefits.
Danielle and Edwin also share a personal story about experiencing a delayed flight and having to deal with a long line at the airport, which prevented them from accessing the tools and resources they needed for recovery. This story highlights the importance of self-care and having access to the proper recovery tools and resources, especially for those who lead active lifestyles.
Overall, this episode offers valuable insights into recovery systems and tools that can help individuals recover from physical activity, as well as the importance of self-care and having access to the resources needed to take care of oneself.

In this podcast episode, Danielle and Edwin delve into the importance of proper form when performing overhead movements, specifically the strict press, push press, and push jerk. They highlight the common compensations that individuals make when trying to achieve proper movement, such as over-arching the lower back and pushing the barbell away from the body.
To help listeners assess their own form, they recommend self-assessing with a pelvic tilt against a wall and reaching back with a PVC pipe to determine any stiffness in the upper back. They also suggest laying on the back and reaching the arms overhead to the table to determine lat tightness.
Additionally, Danielle and Edwin touch on the common issue of shoulder pain during overhead movements and encourage anyone experiencing this to seek help. This episode is a valuable resource for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to improve their form and prevent injury during overhead movements.

Welcome back to the Positive Reaction Podcast! In this conversation, we discuss how to keep athletes compliant with their exercises when working remotely. The farthest athlete that one of us works with is in Europe. We talk about how important it is to keep athletes accountable so that they don't regress in their progress.
We also discuss the advantages of remote programming for athletes, specifically how it allows coaches to check in on progress and ensure that athletes are performing movements correctly. There is also discussion on the importance of face-to-face interaction for providing tactile cues, but that ultimately remote programming is a good tool for both coaches and athletes. Enjoy!

Should you always go to the P.T. that your doctor recommends to you? That is what we are answering today because we wanted to let you know that who the doc recommends may not always be the best option for you. We are here to tell you that it is ok to do your homework and find the therapist that you feel is best for you. You don't have to settle on the first option given to you. Enjoy!

In order to move forward in life and accomplish things, you have to come to some sort of agreement with yourself. That agreement is that you are willing to get out of your comfort zone, daily. We can't just coast through life and expect positive outcomes. You must prioritize yourself, schedule things to keep you consistent and be bought into the idea that you will grow from being comfortable with the uncomfortable. We discuss in this episode why this has been relevant for us lately. Enjoy!

As physical therapists, we need to be effective at solving problems with our patients. In order to be effective at solving long-term problems, we need to be able to communicate with our patients. When we say communicate, we don't just mean talking our patient's ear off. We need to be good listeners for you as well. We dig into this on today's episode. Enjoy!

Welcome back to another edition of the Positive Reaction Podcast! We hope the title of today's episode grabbed your attention! No, we are not talking about dropping it low at the club! We are referring to squatting. Becoming a developed athlete requires proper motor patterns and one of the key movements we are referring to is squatting. Not having a proper squat can mean many more things and today we talk about what these are. Enjoy!

Today is a very important topic to us and it involves investing in yourself. We don't necessarily mean investing in your physical therapist, we are talking about investing in your overall health. It's very easy for us to give up quickly on our health because we don't reap the benefits right away. Today, we try to help change that mentality. Enjoy!
