Have you been told that one of your legs is shorter/longer? I see signs like this in Dental Hygienists every single week. Because you sit all day AND often lean either forward or to the side, your body develops muscle imbalances. This is because overtime, your pelvis becomes misaligned -either anteriorly, posteriorly, or laterally tilted. Each of these leads to having muscles that are overused and other muscles that are weak. These imbalances compound overtime and will only lead to further pain and additional compensations. Listen in to hear t...

Do you have low back pain, glute pain, or sciatica on one side? This is because you have a lateral pelvic tilt. This happens from leaning to one side while you are practicing. And on top of that, if you are a mom, you hold your kid on one hip for years and your body adapts to this position. This leads to muscle imbalances that need to be corrected otherwise they are compounding over time. We need to assess what muscles are tight and what muscles are weak...

The funny thing is that it’s been around forever (formally known as IIFYM). While tracking macros is a tool that can help you achieve your goals, it’s not a long term solution. Tracking can be very tedious and time consuming and most people don’t track accurately. My goal as a coach is always to make a hygienist's life easier, not more difficult.

While it may be fun or exciting, at the end of the day, fitness challenges are just another quick fix. Hygienists have enough quick fixes you don’t need any more! On top of that, if you have an all or nothing mentality, a challenge is going to make you go 0 to 100 which is not sustainable. As well as any results you get, they won’t last long either. This is not my fitness philosophy. My goal for all of my clients is to have a pl...

Do you still have pain despite putting in the effort to get fit and healthy? There is one reason why this is. While muscle imbalances play a part in this (because your body is not working together optimally), you’re not able to execute exercises properly. Your body is compensating. I see this daily! Just like you see a patient doing a simple task like brushing their teeth incorrectly, exercise is SOOOOO much more complex! If you aren’t doing things efficiently, what’s the point? Today I’...

A lot of hygienists come to me looking to build muscle which is a great goal but, in talking with them, I see most often they are doing all the wrong things. In order to build muscle, we need to rest so that our muscles have time to repair and grow. If you are working out 6 days a week, you are doing way too much and hindering the results you could have. More is not better when it comes to building muscle! Not to me...

Do you feel like your back is weak? Have you been told you need to “strengthen your back?” I hear this a lot. The truth is this..we need to understand WHY your back is weak. Not all of the muscles in your back are weak. In fact, there are muscles in your back that aren’t weak- they are overactive. One muscle in particular actually affects your upper body pain and often contributes to shoulder pain. You can’t just go do a bunch of rows to try and strengthen. The body doesn...

However, I find that hygienists aren’t doing the appropriate workouts to actually support these goals. If you workout regularly and still have pain, this is a major red flag that what you have been doing is not benefiting you. You need to train smart, not hard. So listen in if you want to learn the one simple hack every hygienist needs to know to wor...

Is your goal to get rid of pain and prevent injury? Then you MUST include this piece of the puzzle! While fixing your imbalances and building muscle is key to having a strong healthy body, there is more to it.

So by having good mobility, we have an optimal range of motion which allows us to recruit more muscle fibers during...

Today I’m talking about why the secret to long term pain relief is in the POSTERIOR chain. More specifically: exactly what muscles should we be working in the posterior chain? Well it’s not as simple as doing some rows and pulls and all our pain problems will magically be solved. If this were the case then hygienists that exercise regularly wouldn’t still be suffering with pain. Since hygienists have both underactive and overactive muscles in the posterior, we need to make sure that we are strategic with implementing the appropriate exercises while a...

In today’s episode I am sharing my client Brandi’s success story. Four years into her practice, she was already experiencing pain which was miserable. She lifted weights regularly on her own in the gym 4 days a week. She felt sore in areas she didn’t want to feel sore in the next day at work which made her hate lifting weights. She wanted a program that was geared towards working the muscles she wanted to work, not the ones that were already overused. After reading my article in RDH Magazine, she joi...

Today I’m talking about something that is a little too normalized in dentistry-stretching. Now stretching isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it isn’t going to solve your pain problems. It’s just another temporary fix that lasts momentarily. So while stretching is a piece of the puzzle, you have to strength train to build the underactive muscles if you want to get rid of pain LONG TERM. Just like brushing and flossing-they go hand in hand. So if you want to know what muscle you should be stretching and what muscles you shou...

Do you workout regularly but don’t get the results you hope for? Whether that be reduced pain, muscle gain, fat loss, increased energy…there’s a reason you aren’t achieving your goals. I recently spoke with a hygienist who was doing the same workouts for a year and a half with no results. This is because she was working out instead of strength training. I see this 100% of the time. This is why I educate on how to strength train with purpose and intention to actually get results. You CAN get rid of pain...

Today we are diving into a topic that is often overlooked but incredibly important for your training success - proper BREATHING techniques. You see, hygienists struggle with taking deep breaths due to posture distortions like forward head and rounded shoulders. These distortions not only affect your lifting and training but also our everyday life! That’s why it’s so CRUCIAL to understand the importance of breathing and how to do it properly. So listen along and unlock the key to pain-free workouts and building a strong body with the right breathing techniques!

It seems like everywhere you look nowadays you hear the word protein. Protein is the most important macronutrient when it comes to building muscle. What most people don’t know, it also is the biggest supplier of your ENERGY levels. Most hygienists I work with have low energy and not eating enough protein is a major contributing factor. If your intake is too low, this will not only hinder your muscle building, it will deplete you of your energy. Today I’m sharing how to make sure you are eating enough without tediously tracking.

Do you want to strengthen your rotator cuff? Often the muscles of the rotator cuff are weak in hygienists which will only affect their job, it can lead to injury. The shoulder joint has the most range of motion out of any of our joints-so we must make sure to protect it! By making sure we have mobility and range of motion, we can work on having healthy shoulders. If you have shoulder pain or feel like your shoulders are stuck or tight, listen in!

There is a common denominator when I am talking to hygienists about WHY this is. If you are someone who is guilty of skipping this step, you won’t get rid of your pain no matter how often or what types of workouts you do.

Do you enjoy doing spin, running, or hopping on the elliptical? Well in today’s episode, I am going over why cardio is more detrimental to your physical health for your career than it is good. Most hygienists do cardio because they want to lose weight, lose fat, or just to be healthy. While cardio can be great for heart health, strength training is amazing for cardiovascular health and much more beneficial when it comes to having longevity in your career. Listen in to hear the two reasons why this is.

Do you have pain, burning, tingling, or numbness between your shoulder blades? I hear this from hygienists all the time, in fact it’s probably the most common pain I get complaints on. This pain, known as interscapular pain, is in fact muscular however it might not be stemming from where you think. Our scapular has so many jobs: upward, downward, internal, and external rotation. But more importantly, it moves in conjunction with our humeral joint so we have to make sure that both of these can move freely. Today I am sha...
