Ep 45 From Exhausted After Work to ENERGIZED: Rachael's Story

In today’s episode I am sharing my client Rachael’s transformation. Rahael shares that because of her neck, shoulder, trap, and upper back pain, it was a struggle to get through her day. After work she would come home and just want to lay down in bed. She was too exhausted to cook dinner or play with her daughter. She actually had taken 3 months off of work completely due to her chronic neck pain and because of this, she knew she needed to do something for herself. Since working with me, her pain has lessened and she now has way MORE ENERGY to do things after work, like give her daughter a bath <3 Tune in to hear her story now.
Stay Strong,
Brianne

Ep 43 Why HIIT is SHIT

We’ve all heard of high intensity interval training. The name says it all-high intensity is the exact opposite of what hygienists that are dealing with pain and muscle imbalances need. You muscles, bones, joints, connective tissues are misaligned. High impact workouts are extremely hard on your joints and only do more damage! Hygienists need LOW IMPACT, slow and controlled movements..not to just burn a bunch of calories. So listen in to hear why HIIT is not beneficial for your body and your career and what to do instead!

Ep 40 From Feeling Crappy to Feeling AMAZING: Jennifer’s story

Hey teeth lover,
 
In today’s episode I am sharing my client Jennifer’s transformation. Jennifer was 8 years into hygiene and suffered from neck pain, back pain, and upper trap pain.  She felt like she was always hunched over and would come home from work just feeling crappy. Having two small kids, she felt like she wasn’t able to be the mom she wanted to be. Fast forward to now, she feels AMAZING and like a whole new person. She can get through her day and not have pain, she isn’t crabby or snappy with her husband, and she was able to play badminton with her son after work. Jennifer is proof that when you put in the time to work to benefit your body and fix your imbalances, your life will be changed. Listen in to hear her story <3
Stay Strong,
Brianne

Ep 39 Is Your Back WEAK?

Hey teeth lover, 
 
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’t work like this. So listen in to learn what muscles in the back are weak and how to fix this!

Ep 38 My #1 Workout Hack to Relieve Chronic Pain

Hey teeth lover, 
Do you workout consistently but still experience pain? Hygienists tell me daily that they workout to: prevent injury, have longevity in their career, and overall in their daily life. 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 workout to be PAIN-FREE!

Ep 36 The Silent Signs of Burnout: Part I

Hey teeth lover,
 
Today I am chatting with a guest expert who is not only an RDH, she is a stress management coach for other RDHs. Having gone through burnout herself, she talks about the hidden signs that she overlooked, or thought were “normal”. While I am an expert in fitness for RDHs, I am not an expert on the mental health challenges that come with practicing clinically. I am passionate about helping RDHs live their best lives but if our mental state is not good, there’s no point to even think about focusing on our physical health. So listen to hear her advice and what to look out for in your own life!
Stay Strong,
Brianne
