Check this out. I talked to my friend the chiropractor Markus Schuster next door. As a personal trainer I have been working with him and some of his clients for the past year and have to say we had some awesome results.
The reason I am posting this today is that I had a whole bunch of “desk warriors” and ”travel champions” come in lately with severe neck issues that were relentless. As much as I would like to think that I can fix it all, it is sadly not true. Markus has done an incredible job at helping some of my clients.
This video is just an introduction and depending on the feedback we will add a mini series every two weeks or so dealing with specific issues and how YOU can deal with it to avoid getting bigger problems.
If you need to contact Markus for help you can get in touch with him here
but not the pain….something that a lot of athletes follow. I catch myself sometimes pushing through pain and with pain I am not referring to burning muscles but rather the pain of injury. I am a trainer, not a saint. I know what to do right, but sure enough my own insecurities sometimes keep me pushing where I should not. With some aches it is okay to keep working out with some it is not, a change of routine is necessary. As a runner, I have occasional plantar fasciitis (if I neglected my stretching, yeah, I am a bad boy), IT-Band issues and other things. As long as the symptoms are getting better within a short period of time you might not have to lay off what you are doing but just ease off a little bit. But then when I am done training I will take care of my body, ice it, stretch it, use the foam roller, NSAIDS if necessary and strengthen areas that are weak. None of us are superhuman, you work out, you will get hurt, eventually. It is you who decide to deal with it. If you have pain, limited range of motions, the pain does not dissipate despite doing everything you are doing, go and see a professional. orthopedists, chiropracters, physical therapists and personal trainers can help you stay on task with your body.
