"You need to stretch." Have you ever heard someone tell you that after finding out you can't touch your toes or reach for the sky? It may not be the static stretching that you need to be doing, but maybe some soft tissue work and mobility training. Mobility training is all about performing movements to develop motor control and improve range of motion. It encompasses looking at short/tight muscles, soft tissue joint restriction, joint ROM dysfunction, and motor control problems.If you have tight muscles, it is best to combine a bunch of techniques together such as movement based practices, improve any joint restrictions, and look at soft tissue stiffness. What is soft tissue? Soft tissue = any tissue in your body that is soft. This includes muscles, fascia, ligaments, tendons, bursa sacs and joint capsules.Soft tissue work is the overarching term for any modality that is intended to treat and/or improve the quality of soft tissues. These modalities can include self-myofascial release (foam roller, lacrosse ball, massage gun), Active Release Technique (ART), Graston (scraping), Cupping, Deep Compression, E-Stim, Dry Needling, all forms of Massage Therapy and so much more. To make a change, it can include soft tissue work to reduce the stiffness in your muscles and release trigger points which in return can improve your muscle contraction and range of motion. In this episode, I share with you more about soft tissue work and how it is best to put your body in new positions to make a change along with incorporating some self-massage techniques. If you would like to implement soft tissue work and would like more information on techniques, feel free to reach out to me: sarahmartinfitness@gmail.com. I would be happy to help you develop a personalized mobility routine for you!! Resource mentioned: Becoming a Supple Leopard Tools to check out: Hypervolt MassageMyofascial Therapy Balls Foam Roller If you want more from me, be sure to check out and shoot me a DM...

Dr Michael Meersman, DC, MS, ART focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, and getting people out of pain and back in control of their daily life. He is certified in Active Release Technique (ART), a soft tissue technique designed to decrease muscle pain and tightness, while increasing range of motion and function. I have been working with Dr Meersman to complete my recovery from frozen shoulder. By utilizing an array of modalities like the ones offered at the Bannockburn Chiropractic & Sports Injury Center, I have been able to heal much faster than other people suffering from frozen shoulder. It's clear when you visit the office that they are up to date on ways to bring natural function back to the body. They have a pilates reformer and an open area for working through exercises. I always leave my appointments with stretches or movements I can do to continue my progress at home. I feel empowered to take back control of my health and am proud of the work I've done to get here. I've done acupuncture, dry needling, cupping, hot yoga, physical therapy and chiropractic care. I also did an interesting treatment called Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy in my doctor's office. PRP has long been used by physicians to help speed wound healing and treat health issues like arthritis and injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments. They don't normally use it for shoulders, but I wanted to give it a try in order to heal my body from the inside out and I personally believe it helped some. I'm grateful for everyone on my healing team and am super excited for you to learn more about Dr Meerman. In addition to working in the office, he is the team chiropractor for the Chicago Bears. If he can work to help endurance athletes stay well, I know he can help novices like you and me.

I have a friend with a nagging achilles injury that just got back from a sports therapy clinic. They are using nitro patches on the inflammed site, then will be doing concentric stretches/strengthening of the area, all to hopefully get more blood into the site to promote healing. Have you heard of this? What would be potential side effects? Do you think it would be effective for just this type of injury, or might it potentially be useful for other injury site (namely ITBS on the knee). Mike Schrankel asks: What do you think of Low Volume/High Intensity weight training? One apparently reputable website (http://www.exrx.net/WeightTraining/LowVolumeTraining.html) goes to great lengths explaining that performing extra sets beyond one light warm-up and one heavy set of 8-12 reps yields only 0-5% more muscle growth. But most pros, including yourself recommend 3-5 sets. I've checked out your "Get Fit in 30 minutes or Less" (12/5/10) post, in which you recommend 5 sets. I like the short time commitment, but I'd like to do a wider variety of exercises with less sets if I can get decent results (i.e., more lean muscle, not "big and brawny") Lorna asks: why does it matter whether I burn fat or glycogen during my workout? I thought that if I am in deficit at the end of the day - fat will be used for energy - giving me a body fat loss. Whether I burn glycogen or fat - a deficit will mean fat stores reducing when it all balances out- will it not? Laurel asks: I have two questions.  1-Are there homeopathic or home remedies for Raynauds phenomena? 2- You tout magnesium, what do you think of epsom salts as a source? In my response to Laurel, I recommend the Future Health Now Encyclopedia (pictured right) and the Magnesium Flakes from Ancient Minerals. Jeff has a call-in question about soreness when getting started with weight training. In my response to Jeff, I recommend he listens to the first 5 episodes of the Get-Fit Guy's Quick & Dirty Tips Podcast Ralph Sanabria asks: Ben, I have a hard time running (more breathing). I've been told that I have athletic induced asthma. I've been told this because i have a hard time breathing during. and it sounds like wheezing. Is there anything that i can do to help with this? In my response to Ralph, I recommend oil of oregano. Cat asks: Do you know of any potentially harmful effects of chewing sugar-free gum? I am a student and find that chewing gum helps me to stay focused while I work, but it seems like I've developed sort of an addiction to it. Are there properties in sugarfree gum that could make it addictive and harmful to health? In my response to Cat, I mention "Spry" gum. Ryan asks: I recently read this article http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2011/02/california-deaths-after-lap-band-surgery-lead-to-lawsuits.html  about complications that are occurring with lap band surgeries. My sister is considering a lap band surgery and this article really concerns me! I thought you might find it interesting and would like your thoughts on this. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!
