Pistol squat progress!
Pistol squats are hard AF to master, but they’re an excellent goal for runners who want to build lower body and core strength through a full range of motion. (Hint: If you’re a runner period, you should fall into that category.)
Dr. Josh is using his hand to counter his body weight and assist in his balance. Eventually, the goal is to bring the tookus as close to the heel as possible — without falling over — on both sides!
These are even harder to do than they 👀, and to stay injury free, it’s critical to start with a modified version and progress properly when you’re ready.
.
How’s your pistol squat coming along?! We wanna know!

If you’ve ever scratched your head as to why we choose to be out of network, so we can provide the caliber of care we believe actually gets people better.... listen to our patient athlete John!
For his post-op care after a partial knee replacement, he chose to go to an in-network clinic (read: patient mill - 😫) because they took Medicare. As soon as he was discharged from their “care,” he reached out to Dr. Josh. John said the “therapy” was a complete waste of his time. He still didn’t feel strong or comfortable with stairs in the subway, let alone bending to the floor. 🤯 This is so frustrating to hear that this happens in our industry; the level of subpar care people receive and accept is disheartening.
Since working with us, we’ve eliminated the pain shooting down John’s non-knee replacement leg from the limp and compensations he had after his other “PT”, and have him doing things he says he never thought he’d be able to do again, in just 6 weeks! He’s thrilled and feeling 💪💪💪.
You know what’s coming....

Truly a CLUTCH performance from our longtime friend and patient athlete superstar, Andrew Cruz, in his virtual Boston Marathon today. Honored to have been part of the journey. Congrats, Drew!

A memorable experience this morning as I ran my first (and LAST hopefully😂) virtual marathon on what would have been the Boston Marathon weekend. Running the official Boston Marathon course remains a bucket list goal I know I’ll check off one day, but it was once in a lifetime experience to be able to run out my front door while Courtney Baranello Cruz and Charlotte were able to cheer me on across multiple loops. Thank you to Courtney for always supporting my crazy habits and making it a special day. A huge thank you to Joshua Grahlman of #ClutchPT for getting me to the start and finish line happy and healthy, after being injured all winter and not being able to run without issues until May. Magic man - truly the best in the biz! And of course a massive thank you to Coach Elizabeth and #RTATriathlon for getting me prepared with a flexible and solid plan that helped me execute a good day with a smile on my face. Happy to be a part of the team and looking forward to even bigger things once racing starts again in 2021. Thankful to have so many great people in my corner and appreciate all the positive messages of support from my friends along the way!
If you’re in any kind of pain with your work from home setup, please reach out to us for a custom ergonomics assessment. We can do it virtually wherever you are, or on site in NYC.
We will evaluate your workspace(s), make adjustments and if needed, reco equipment, accessories and furniture that best suit your individual needs. We’ll fix what we can on the spot, and give you a plan to fix the rest. You’ll gain a solid understanding of how to improve your work style and receive a regimen of stretches and exercises to help you self-manage pain and eliminate tension.
This article makes general recommendations that may or may not be right for you. It’s critical to address your unique needs and get to the bottom of what’s happening with your body. Going to a chiropractor (over and over) for an “adjustment” won’t solve the actual problem. Same goes for generic PT exercises too! We’re not throwing one type of practitioner under the bus; we’ll say it about anyone who doesn’t take the time to solve the root cause of their patients’ issues.
DM or text us anytime, 212-203-6802, and please share this important info! (Not just the article - include our comments too.)

The Pandemic of Work-From-Home Injuries
“My faith in the PT’s at Clutch is so strong that, even though I could find a physical therapist closer geographically, I’d rather do tele-health with Clutch. Within only 4 sessions, Ray was able to pinpoint and help to strengthen to source of my hip discomfort. Ray provided appropriate and feasible exercises I could do on my own, plus the wisdom to comfort my fears around my injury. The Zoom platform worked so well, he was able to see me clearly and make sure I was doing everything safely. CLUTCH IS THE BESTTT”

Sending fierce GAME DAY vibes to starting Right Back on D @kieralamb24 as her team battles in the District finals — if they get the W, they head to States‼️‼️
Kiera worked crazy hard with Dr. Josh throughout quarantine to solve her chronic shin splints and make herself bulletproof for this field hockey season. Her team went 9-1 on the season, won the conference championship and semi-finals of Districts for Southeastern PA, and their run is still going! 🔥🔥🔥
Kiera showed tremendous initiative to become a better athlete during a difficult time, and has shown leadership and athleticism on the field. We certainly wouldn’t mess with her! 💪💪💪
So proud and screaming our heads off from NYC! Get after it, Kiera!

Dr. Josh recently treated a collegiate rower with low back and hip pain. He was, in a word, a mess, with a massive one-sided strength imbalance.
This study reveals a culture of concealment of pain from coaches and teammates in the sport of rowing, and fear of being judged as ‘weak’ because of the limitations caused by low back pain. Rowers age 18-50 reported fear and isolation as a result of their pain.
This says a lot about athletes’ mindset and pushing through to show others they aren’t weak — which is 😭 to hear.
Pain is the body’s brilliant way of telling your brain something is WRONG, and it won’t magically disappear. It’s not weak to need intervention from a PT; it’s the smartest thing you can do to set yourself up for long term success and health. Our bodies are meant to move for life, not just for competitive pursuits.
If you are a parent to a young athlete, discuss this with them. If they don’t want do hear it, send them our way!

Feels like a perfect day for some RESISTANCE and POWER MOVES, doesn’t it?! 👊💪👊💪
Adding a resistance band ups the intensity of any exercise. If you’re gonna do it, get the most out of it! Resistance forces you to push harder, torches calories, jump starts your ticker ❤️, challenges multiple muscle groups and your ability to stabilize all at once. Get after it!

#6 of 31 Ways to be a Better Athlete and Human: Focus only on what you can control.
.
Let the rest go. (Elsa's giving us some side eye right now.)
.
You can't control the outcome of an event any more than you can control the weather or the scary stuff all over the internet. But you CAN control your attitude, effort and performance.
.
Conserving energy has always been key in athletic performance, but in the middle of a pandemic when the world is topsy-turvey, it's never been more crucial.
.
Worrying about the actions of others and wallowing in negativity is a useless energy suck. Go all out, and even if things don't pan out, breathe deep and hold your head high.
