FACT OR MYTH: Is lifting bad for osteoporosis? 🤔

MYTH ❌

When done safely and appropriately, strength training can actually be an important part of managing osteoporosis. Resistance exercises help strengthen muscles, support bone health, and improve balance and overall function. 💪🦴

The key? Choosing the right exercises and progressing them safely for you.

Ben’s Knee Strengthening Series 🦵🔥

This week, Ben is breaking down the Bulgarian split squat — a great single-leg exercise for building strength through the quads, glutes, and surrounding muscles that help support the knee.

Adding unilateral exercises like this can help improve strength, stability, and control from side to side, whether you’re working through rehab or building capacity for sport and everyday activity.

Give it a try and stay tuned for more from Ben’s Knee Strengthening Series! 🏃🏽‍♂️💨

🏃‍♀️ FACT OR MYTH: Running is bad for your knees?

MYTH ❌

Running often gets blamed for knee pain, but running itself isn’t inherently bad for your knees. In fact, when introduced and progressed appropriately, running can help build strength, improve joint health, and increase your knees’ ability to handle load over time.

The key is making sure your body is prepared for the demands you’re putting on it — through proper strength, gradual progression, and recovery.

Hannah breaks down why you don’t need to be afraid of running to keep your knees healthy 👟

Part 4: Lateral Banded Walks

This exercise is a great way to build strength and control through the hips and knees, helping improve lower-body stability for everyday movement and sport.

The key is to stay controlled, keep tension on the band, and maintain good positioning as you step side to side.

Save this one and add it to your next lower-body session!

A small adjustment can make a big difference! 🙌

Hannah shares a simple tip to get more out of your hip flexor stretch: add a posterior pelvic tilt.

Instead of just pushing further into the stretch, adjusting your pelvis can help you better target the hip flexors and get more out of the movement.

Try it during your next mobility session!
