  • Ulnar nerve

    This was one of the first informative episodes. I have experiencing hand numbness, golfers elbow, shoulder burn for the last 4 5 years. My surgeon recommends me getting surgery on elbow. He has not talked about any other sources where nerve issues could be happening. I have an appointment coming up and I will definitely share this with him.

    Thank you

Bulletproofing Your Knees and Hips for Heavy Packs and Steep Mountain Descents - Rowan Smith
Q: How do you tailor programs for people with tight schedules or short timelines before a big hike?
We tailor around the person's life, choosing a feasible number of sessions and durations, and we still hit essential strength and conditioning goals. If time is limited, we apply quick wins, energy management strategies, and gear techniques to ensure meaningful progress and reduce pain while preparing them for the hike.
Bulletproofing Your Knees and Hips for Heavy Packs and Steep Mountain Descents - Rowan Smith
Q: What are the key differences between your approach and traditional gym programs for hikers?
The approach is conservative and targeted: focus on a few high-quality exercises per session, emphasize gradual loading, and structure long-term progression so the client can train consistently without excessive soreness or risk. We prioritize functional movements that transfer to the trail, use simple equipment, and adjust based on the individual's pain and ability, rather than following a generic bodybuilding template.
Why Stretching Isn't Fixing Your Plantar Fasciitis (What Actually Works)
Q: Can I still run through plantar fasciitis?
Run with plantar fasciitis if pain is manageable (not exceeding a threshold like four out of ten), but scale back if pain worsens, ensure loading patterns are addressed, and work on addressing underlying mobility/strength deficits.
Why Stretching Isn't Fixing Your Plantar Fasciitis (What Actually Works)
Q: Should I use orthotics forever?
Orthotics can be a crutch and may not address the root mechanics; they can be useful short-term, but many people benefit from gradually reducing use and focusing on foot strengthening and compensatory strategies.
Why Stretching Isn't Fixing Your Plantar Fasciitis (What Actually Works)
Q: Why isn't stretching working for plantar fasciitis?
Stretching may help mobility, but the underlying driver is often strength and load-related; without addressing hip extension and knee/ankle mechanics, simply stretching the foot may not fix the cycle.
