I participated in a workout class and overheard two women talking to each other about leaking urine during the jumping jack warm up. They laughed, they leaked, and they laughed more. Sadly, this is not an uncommon topic. I hear women talking about “leaking” all the time:
“I'm six months postpartum and feeling like the new norm is leaking urine. I leak when laughing, coughing, jumping, and bending over to lift the baby.”
Bo Selvig is the Clinic Director at our Lone Peak Performance and Fitness location. Bo has seen in school and with personal experience the gap between the conventional wisdom and practice of rehabilitation, and what patients really need to return to full health and full activity with minimal risk of re-injury.
We are happy to share some simple exercises to improve your posture and help you feel better. So many of us spend so much of our work week in a seated position, whether that’s in front of a computer or in a vehicle, and it is so easy to sit with bad posture and weaken your muscles. Our quick video below shows 2 great exercises that only take a few minutes and can help build strength, prevent injury and promote better posture. As we always say, we hope it helps you “Feel Better!”
Join us next week for our Couch to 5K training! It's free and everyone is welcome. Details for the event can be found here.

“I had pain in my lower back. I came in and was told about dry needling, and I was a bit hesitant. It was explained in great detail and that was very reassuring. I was expecting pain, but when we started I didn’t feel anything. It was great! Afterward I was a bit tired, but after a few sessions I was energized and felt I had more energy and less pain. I have been recommending dry needling to everyone. It has honestly been a God send. Thanks!” - Mary M., LPPT dry needling patient

We live in a fast-paced modern world full of instant gratification and convenience. We want quick results with little effort at an affordable price. Just last week one of my clients who is struggling with high blood pressure and weight gain said, “You know it is just too hard and takes too long to change my eating habits and exercise, so I just take the medication even though I know I won’t live as long.” Don’t let this be your story! You hold the keys in your hands to lead a long healthy life.

I can’t hike because my foot hurts. I can’t ride my bike anymore because my back hurts. I had to stop playing basketball because my knee hurts. I had to stop playing tennis because my elbow hurts. I’m just getting old.” Sound familiar? Pain has forced you to give up doing what you love!

It is almost summertime and I can’t think of a better time to train for a 5K! What is holding you back? Fear? Embarrassment? Lack of motivation? Time? If you can walk then you can start training today! Let’s map out a plan to complete a 5K in 2018!
A 5K is 3.1 miles and can take anywhere from 25 to 45 minutes. This is a very attainable distance and time for a first-time runner. You want to give yourself 8-12 weeks to train depending on your current fitness level.
