Powerlifting stories in the bunker home gym!

Mobility, Injuries & Rehab with Dr. Casey Hill

It was an absolute pleasure to sit and talk with Casey about her love of sports and how that love turned into a career and passion in Physical Therapy. She has some great advice for those of us who are inclined to push through “pain” when sometimes we should be seeking professional help.     Here’s a little about her:  Hello! My name is Casey Hill and I have a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT). I am a proud generalist who treats almost any neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, or vestibular condition and strongly believe in exercise as medicine. I started powerlifting in 2018, but have a long history in athletics including, softball, diving, and bodybuilding prior to making powerlifting my primary sport. Strength can be built at ANY age, and I truly believe that everyone should understand how important exercise and physical activity can be for all facets of life.    Brown’s Gym: Where Champions Train!  https://www.brownsgym.net/ [https://www.brownsgym.net/]   You can find Brown’s Gym on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/browns_gym// [https://www.instagram.com/browns_gym/]   You can find Jim on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/notthatjimbrown/ [https://www.instagram.com/notthatjimbrown/]   You can find Janel on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/powerjel/ [https://www.instagram.com/powerjel/]   You can find Casey on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/cjhill4/ [https://www.instagram.com/cjhill4/]

Q&A with Wilkes University Pharmaceutical Students

It is always a pleasure being asked to speak to students and staff about fitness, nutrition and supplements. Back in late March we spoke with Professor Dana Manning’s class at Wilkes University on a wide range of topics. Now Dana is getting ready to compete at the North American Powerlifting Championships in the Cayman Islands after successfully qualifying at Powerlifting American Masters Nationals in Scottsdale back in June.
