Functional Friday 5/10

Happy Friday! In case you forgot, this Sunday is Mother’s Day (like every other day of the year!) A huge shoutout to all the moms, moms-to-be, and our very own moms. ❤️ 

Inspiration:

We’ve been listening to Alex Hormozi lately and find his content wildly easy to digest and inspiring in various aspects of life (relationship/business/stress management). There are many things he says that are inspiring but one of our favorite recent ones is:

• You have a choice — you don’t have to grow if you don’t want to, if it’s a tradeoff you’re not willing to make, that’s fine — but just be okay with that

  • The context being — the higher you rise to the top, the more difficult it becomes. You have a choice of staying comfortable where you are or facing more difficulties and continuing to climb — but you must be okay with either option.

Education:

• Does this happen to you during squats? Try the exercises in the video to help improve that 

• Listen to these statistics on low back pain (thank you Dr. Andy Chen). A summary of the video:

  1. 80% of people will experience back pain

  2. Only 5% will require surgery

  3. 1 in 4 people who experience back pain have imaging done

  4. 59% of those people do not need imaging based on the latest research and clinical guidelines

  5. 80-95% of people experiencing chronic back pain do not find a solution via imaging

• ❓️ Have any questions or know someone who might? Book a free 15-minute discovery call with one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy! We work with individuals who experience back pain all the time and have a very high success rate with them.

Forward Physio Weekly Recap:

• This previous Saturday we hosted our first workshop at Apex Performance on perfecting your squat. We had a great time teaching what we know about squats and we can’t thank our attendees enough! See a few highlights and be sure to check out any we have planned in the future, below.

• Forward Physio was able to attend a Social Entrepreneur meet-up in St. Petersburg this week at Nova 535. It was an incredible place to network and meet like-minded individuals passionate about entrepreneurship. This is completely free and all are welcome to join if interested! Their Facebook group is here if you are!

Entertainment:

Here are a few videos to make you think 💭
