Slow As Possible!
You must have heard your physical therapist say to bend your elbow or squat as slowly as possible because muscle fibers are strongest as they move eccentrically.

Hello! As a PT, my patients often ask how they can improve their posture. The good news is that correcting posture doesn't have to be a boring or tedious proces. In fact, there are plenty of exercises and stretches that can be both effective and enjoyable!
Do you experience pain in the bottom of your foot when stepping out of bed in the morning? Standing after sitting for an extended time? Or after participating in activities that involve running/jumping? You may have a condition called plantar fasciitis.
