CrossFit Open 16.5 Warm Up and Mobility

March 23, 2016 Posted by Dr. Christopher Garcia, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, USAW CrossFit, Injury Prevention, Recovery Techniques, Warm Up & Mobility

Reunited and it feels (not) so good. This is a repeat of 14.5, just incase the memories still haunt you. Filled with total body movement requiring adequate hip and shoulder mobility, these warm up drills will better help you prepare and stay healthy. Work from the ground up, focusing on hip mobility. Both rising from the burpee and thruster will challenge your hips. As you fatigue, shoulder stress may increase and trunk stability may fail, leading to poor performance. Pace yourself and mentally prepare for the goodness that is 16.5. And most importantly, listen to your body, know your limits and have fun! Good luck from #SportsPerformancePT !

3 Ways to Self-Manage Low Back Pain and Stay Active

3 Ways to Self-Manage Low Back Pain and Stay Active

Sep 19, 2025

Low back pain can feel overwhelming, making even simple movements difficult. Many people avoid seeking help, fearing they'll be told to rest or take unnecessary medications. But rest alone can make things worse—leading to stiffness, inactivity, and a frustrating cycle of pain. Instead, focus on three key strategies to regain control: keep moving within your limits, modify your work positions, and adjust your fitness routine. Gentle movement helps reduce inflammation, small posture changes at work prevent stiffness, and scaling back your workouts allows for safe recovery. If you're struggling to find the right balance, seeking guidance from a physical therapist can provide a tailored plan to keep you active and pain-free. Ready to take charge of your recovery? Start with these simple steps today!

Is Your Sleep Routine Causing More Aches & Pains?

Is Your Sleep Routine Causing More Aches & Pains?

Aug 8, 2025

Do you wake up feeling stiff, sore, or achy? Your sleep routine may be a major contributing factor. Poor sleep is directly linked to increased injuries, more frequent pain episodes, and longer recovery times. While treatments like physical therapy and massage provide temporary relief, lasting improvement starts with quality sleep. Your body undergoes crucial repair processes while you sleep, reducing inflammation, strengthening resilience, and supporting mobility. However, most people overestimate their actual sleep time. Wearable devices like Apple Watch, Fitbit, and Oura Ring can help track sleep patterns and optimize recovery. Ignoring sleep issues can lead to long-term declines in flexibility, strength, and overall health. Prioritizing sleep as part of your recovery strategy can prevent chronic pain and improve performance. Need guidance? Our team at Sports Performance Physical Therapy can help analyze your sleep data and provide personalized recovery strategies.
