This @progressivemotionpt run event with lululemon was special, connecting people through mindful movement & positivity.

Let’s keep this momentum going as we close the year out. More coming soon!

Physical Therapy Day at the station. 🚒

Treating firefighters in the fire station, between calls. Taking care of the nagging injuries before they become serious ones, and keeping firefighters on the job instead of on the injured list.

No referral. No drive across town. No burning a day off.

Departments: this is what in-station care looks like.

What’s the nagging injury you’ve been ignoring? 👇

Same grind. Different stages. Same energy. 💪💕
Different competitions, different goals… but always showing up, pushing each other and supporting the journey.

Because strong women don’t compete with each other — we get stronger together. 🫶🔥
And having the best gym to do it in doesn’t hurt. 😏

Partial knee replacement? What knee replacement? 😂🦿

Sandra is years out from a partial knee replacement—and still training like a bodybuilder because she still is!

Here we’re pairing the ARPwave RX100 with loaded knee extensions to increase sensory input and facilitate a stronger quad contraction, with extra attention to the VMO/medial quad.

Why pair stimulation with the exercise?

⚡ Improve quad recruitment
⚡ Reinforce terminal knee extension
⚡ Challenge the quad through its available range
⚡ Build strength in the movement we actually want to improve

The machine provides the load.
The ARPwave provides additional neuromuscular input.
Sandra provides the quads. 🦵😂

Years after surgery, the goal isn’t simply having a “good knee.”

It’s continuing to build strength, capacity and confidence so the knee can handle what she wants to demand from it.

Partial knee replacement? What knee replacement?

Part 2: Let’s break down the hinge…this time, straight to you 🎯

If you watched the last video, you saw us coach an athlete through it. This one’s for you to follow along.

The hinge isn’t just a deadlift pattern, it’s one of the best tools for improving your ability to to access hip internal rotation, thereby improving hip mobility which gives you more usable space in your body to actually strengthen those hips.

Here’s why: hinging well teaches you to shift your center of mass back and lengthen the glute on each side you’re working. Do that consistently, then add load into the pattern.

In this video, I’ll walk you through how to actually get into your hips and glutes…the cues, the positioning, the common mistakes.

Back pain or stiffness after deadlifts?

Not all hinges are created equal. The hinge is one of the most important movement patterns anyone can learn and most people are missing the details that make it safe and powerful.

In athletes with back stiffness or pain, we consistently see the same three breakdowns:

→ Limited hip internal rotation
→ Difficulty “stacking” the rib cage over the pelvis
→ Trouble turning the pelvis over the loaded leg

In this breakdown, watch how we coach our athlete through it step by step:

1️⃣ Load the front leg
The back leg is just a kickstand for balance…about 90% of the work happens through the front leg.

2️⃣ Turn the belt buckle toward the working leg
This increases load on that leg and lengthens the glute…the same length most people are chasing with a pigeon stretch.

Except here, he’s loading that length, which builds real hip internal rotation and the ability to shift his center of mass over the leg.

The hip wants to externally rotate — watch for the knee drifting toward the pinky toe, so keep big toe rooted into ground

3️⃣ Hinge over the foot
As load stays over the leg, he hinges to fully lengthen and load the glute.

4️⃣ Hold the bottom position
Knee stays tracking over the 2nd/3rd toe to keep the adductors engaged.

5️⃣ Stand up through the midfoot
The left hand teaches the hip to drive forward in space — that’s how you find full hip extension on the way up.

This is what separates a hinge that builds you up from one that wears you down.

🎥 Full breakdown in the video — save this for your next deadlift session.

Train hip extension. Offload the stiff, achy lower back.

Everyone wants to train heavy, move fast, perform at the top level. People struggle with the boring, consistent work that actually gets you there.

Joint mobility and movement quality are the first things skipped because they take patience, not intensity.

This video shows how to use the 45° back extension machine correctly: for hip extension, not back extension.

We see this constantly with athletes who’ve learned to tolerate a stiff back…until lost hip extension shows up somewhere else: less push off the foot, or the inability to finish the top of squat or deadlift.

Try the drill. Tag a friend who lives with a bad back. 🎯

I don’t just coach this. I live it.

Whether l’m working out myself, learning from my own coach, working with the youth, my daughter and her dance teammates, or coaching men 40+, the foundation doesn’t change:

Move well.
Get stronger.
Fuel your body.
Stay consistent.

The principles remain the same.

Different ages. Same foundation.

Stay capable,
-GE

Everybody in a firehouse has something.

A knee that doesn't like ladders anymore. A shoulder that never came all the way back. A low back that's been talking to you since 2019.

Nobody calls it an injury, because you can still work. So it goes unlooked at — until it's the reason somebody's on modified duty.

Yesterday @progressivemotionpt saw our crews one at a time, in the station, on shift. Their own assessment. Their own plan. Whatever that firefighter actually has.

Preventative maintenance, applied to the person instead of the rig.
