Grounded in Strength: How Lifting Shoes Improve Your Performance
Lifting shoes, whether talking trainers or powerlifting shoes, offer several key benefits that can help improve performance during training, especially in lifts like the squat, deadlift, and plyometrics. Here’s a breakdown of their main advantages and why they might be a great for you.

Are You Ready to Shred (Part 2)
Strengthening exercises aren’t the only intervention we use to achieve an improved strong and stable deep knee position. We also use plyometrics, or jumping movements, to hone in and develop control over these deeper ranges. This in turn creates better neuromuscular control in this position and better carry over into deceleration and making our way down the mountain.
Are You Ready to Shred (Part 1)
While the thrill of powder days and carving down the slopes are in sight, we wouldn’t be a proper physical therapy clinic if we didn’t offer up some recommendations to help you prepare for the demands of winter sports. One the most common deficits we see in the clinic with our outdoor athletes is the lack of strength and stability in deeper ranges of the squat and subsequently with deceleration. While one can certainly make it down the mountain without this skill and have an amazing day on the slopes, improving in this area can better prepare you and assist with injury prevention leading to one spectacular season!
Why Not Both
When most active adults think about physical therapy, they typically think about exercises on the table or ground, a 10-15 minute routine directed towards some type of injury, or maybe something that doesn’t quite fit their fitness and performance goals they have in mind. Here at Tundra Performance and Physical Therapy, we are looking to change that perspective on how people view performance physical therapy and what we can do for them.
What's My Age Again?
Time and time again, age is commonly referenced as a primary limitation and can be a major psychological hurdle amongst many individuals in achieving their fitness goals. While age plays a role and consideration to muscle growth, the significance of strength training remains ever present.
