BIAS THE BACKSIDE: So you want to run faster, furt

BIAS THE BACKSIDE:
So you want to run faster, further, and stronger. How do you do that - with a really good recipe. You need the proper ingredients: stronger muscles, powerful engine, and an efficient means of moving yourself forward.
__________
While heading straight to the gym is part of the answer it’s not as simple as that for everybody. Being able to drive with your legs, develop a more powerful and efficient stride, and get better return on your training investment is a combination of a few factors: adequate mobility, proper form and force development, and a big enough spring or engine (tendons and muscles) to create such movements.
________
The reality is that getting strong, especially in your calves, hamstrings, and glutes serves to provide an armor of injury resilience and an essential set of ingredients to perform during long training days or the sprint to the finish line. --AJ Sobrilsky, DPT, OCS

What is Physical Therapy?
Often times, I am asked about the training it takes to be a physical therapist and what physical therapy exactly is. By definition from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), a physical therapist is a movement expert who optimizes quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on care, and patient education. Physical therapy is not a passive intervention performed by other medical professions.
__________
Becoming a physical therapist has definitely evolved over the years with the recent responsibilities of direct access and physical therapy now being in a primary provider role with patients. Physical therapists are movement experts that aim at improving quality of life, utilizing most evidence-based approaches without the need for invasive treatments. Here at Excel, we value advanced training and certifications to continue to provide the best care to you. ---Matt Schumacher, DPT, OCS, MDT

RESTING AWARENESS - building mindfulness ________

RESTING AWARENESS - building mindfulness
________
EXERCISE: In this exercise, instead of focusing on the breath, an object or a sensation to anchor your mind, you will not be focusing on anything. You will let your mind be free while maintaining awareness. This can be hard because it is easier for our mind to become distracted without something specific to focus on. For that reason, start this exercise with one-minute bouts and lengthen the time as you get better at it. The beauty of mastering this exercise is that it allows you to be open-minded and at ease in a variety of situations. It allows your mind to be present and focused in the moment, whether it be eating an apple or having lunch with a friend. --Bobby Bemis, PT, FAAOMPT
________
RESEARCH: Researchers from Emory University found that a regular mindfulness practice can offset the reduction in the brain's gray matter resulting in improved cognitive skills as we age.

REFLECTION - building mindfulness _________ EXERCI

REFLECTION - building mindfulness
_________
EXERCISE: For this exercise find a quiet spot and try to find a quiet space in your mind. In that quiet space in your mind think about dropping a question you have into that space. Don’t try and solve or answer the question, just let it sit in that quiet space and from the perspective of curiosity, see what happens. What thoughts arrive? What feelings arrive? What physical sensations arrive? Try and frame the question in the second person, as though you are asking your mind, not yourself. You may laugh, you may cry, you may get angry, it doesn’t really matter. Just experience what happens and focus on your journey, not the end result. Try this for 5-10 minutes a day. --Bobby Bemis, PT, FAAOMPT

RESEARCH: Researchers from the University of Massachusetts found that a regular mindfulness practice decreased the time it takes to get to sleep by 50% in diagnosed insomniac patients.
