1. Featured Podcast

"Training for the Centenarian Decathlon"

In this special episode filmed live in front of readers of Outlive, Peter answers questions revolving around his concept of the centenarian decathlon. He starts by defining the “marginal decade” and how that shapes his training for the events and activities that make up his personal centenarian decathlon. Peter explains how he coaches patients through the challenges of customizing their own list and building out a training plan, including how to set fitness goals early in life in preparation for the marginal decade. From there, he dives into training within the four pillars (zone 2, VO2 max, stability, and strength), including the minimum effective dose, how to split your time, his personal protocols, and other considerations. Additionally, he touches on bone mineral density, female-specific considerations, working through injuries, and the profound impact training can have on the overall quality of life.

3. Client Success Story: John K

Check out John's review of Shift. We absolutely LOVE helping people stay active! If you are suffering from pain with your activities and having to modify things we can help. If you "take a few weeks off" and things feel better then the problem comes back as soon as you ramp up the volume or intensity we can help! Our bodies are amazing at healing, but usually they heal improperly and the root of what caused the problem needs to be addressed.

  Understanding the impact that TMJ pain can have on one's daily life, we have taken this step to address the needs of our patients comprehensively. Our team of skilled therapists has undergone specialized training and is now fully equipped to provide effective and evidence-based therapies for TMJ-related discomfort.

  What is TMJ Pain, and How Can We Help?

  The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is a complex joint responsible for the movement of your jaw. TMJ pain can arise due to various factors such as misalignment, muscle tension, or even stress. The symptoms may include jaw pain, clicking or popping noises when opening or closing the mouth, headaches, facial discomfort, and difficulty chewing.

  At Shift Therapy, our experienced therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your TMJ pain. Using a personalized approach, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to alleviate pain, improve jaw mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life
