Two cool things that happened in the last week:
1. We were informed that one of our female clients— previously diagnosed with Osteopenia (bone density loss)— and having trained consistently 2x/week for over 2 years… has shown measurably enough improvement in her bone density to be considered “undiagnosed”! So while she has a “history of bone density loss,” she is now out of the criteria for what is considered “Osteopenic.”
This is not a common result but one that is obtainable for those who train (like we do, anyway) at least 2x/week over a long period of time (greater than 9 months). What a huge accomplishment!
2. Joel McCauley completed studies and testing to be credentialed as a “Champion Performance Specialist.” This certification is designed by Mike Reinold, DPT, ATC, CSCS, C-PS | Sports Physical Therapist , one of the top Physical Therapists in baseball and other sports. While it is geared towards physical therapists who work with athletes, it is also a deep-dive in myofascial work/rehabilitation that strength coaches can utilize (in scope, of course) to improve their Assessments, and program implementations. Despite our work over the last 10+ years helping people get out of pain and train harder, this credential means a lot because it solidifies my mission and protocols from quasi-“guru” status, to a more rigorously controlled belt-notch.
If you ever haven’t committed to a training program because your pain is too great, confidence is too low, or your trust that the facilities weren’t equipped to accommodate your unique needs… give us a try. You may be surprised by how far you can go!
