Tendons hate sudden changes. When load increases faster than the tissue can adapt, conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, or lower back spasms frequently follow. If you suddenly jump from light summer activity to high-intensity workouts, or from moving outdoors to sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day, you create a workload spike.
Strength training is often the best form of injury prevention. Think of your body’s strength as a "movement budget."

If your physical capacity is low, you "overdraw," and that’s when injuries occur.
This month’s focus is on moving with intention—not just increasing activity for the sake of doing more, but paying attention to how we move and how our bodies respond. These small, mindful shifts can help prevent discomfort, support recovery, and make movement more enjoyable overall.
Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, performance and function. The practice of kinesiology incorporates the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy and physiology, and considers neuroscience and psychosocial factors.
