At Revolutions in Fitness, these are things we think about. Twice a month for two hours, all the PTs meet to discuss, teach, and learn- to sharpen our skills and get YOU better faster. We recently held a PT in-service on one of the most overlooked yet powerful movement patterns: pushing. Whether it’s your foot, ankle, knee, hip, or spine—your body has to move well, fire muscles in the right sequence, and be strong enough to support you.
We help people regain those abilities—not just to reduce pain, but so they can continue doing the things they love, whether it’s hiking, biking, or playing with grandkids. This isn’t about working harder—it’s about moving smarter.
In our evaluation process, we break down your pushing mechanics to uncover the hidden weak links. Some of the most common? Foot strength and ankle mobility. If those aren’t working well, every step or push you take becomes less efficient—and more painful over time.
Keywords: eccentric strength, neurocognitive control, muscle activation, injury risk

We’ve included a few videos below from our team showing exercises that help build the mobility, strength, and coordination needed for better pushing mechanics. These are the same tools we use with our athletes and active adults to get them moving—and thriving—again.
