And the results speak for themselves. One client calls him a magician. Another attests that Horney literally saved his life.

Steve teams up with BarBend for an informative collaboration on one of his favorite exercises - THE PALLOF PRESS!

He then formulated the five-step model based on his experiences working his way to put up his own business and has helped numerous care providers to build their own and be successful. Steve likes it “gritty and grimy” when providing care; to actually get on the floor and apply what you’re trained to do

2 Exercises That’ll Get You a One-Armed Chin-Up

By Nick English - November 25, 2016

“One way to remedy common problems is to vary the grip diameter by wrapping the bar,” says Steve Horney, DPT, CSCSC a physical therapist based in New York City. “That modifies the place of stress on the common origin of the flexor group.”

To warm up and lower the risk of injury, Horney recommends soft tissue work, like rolling a lacrosse ball, on the forearm, biceps and lats. Training the wrist flexors and extensors both eccentrically and concentrically is also a good way to prepare the area. He likes using a rubber bar to train the wrist extensors, as shown in the video below.

Gurus are great, but we like systems! And even better yet a simple system that people can use and be empowered by. That's where the 8 Foundations of Movement come in, nothing flashy or fancy and there isn't a test on here that is hard to feel or do. We teach it, we use it, it works :) And now we will slowly start to show you all the fixes for it! We define the core as the muscles from your shoulders to your hips and everything in between which breaks down into 12 major muscle groups. This one checks a TON of them and if there is weakness in any of these major muscle groups you can expect that problem to rear its ugly head in a lot of different places. Remember we are all about finding the root cause of your problem not just giving you a bandaid If you had trouble with the Rotating Plank try these corrective exercises Enjoy your daily dose of FiRE: Functional Integrated Resistive Exercise Why guess when you can assess and address! #rotatingplank #corestability #correctiveexercise #strengthandconditioning

Did you have any trouble with the Shin Box + ? Don't worry we've got you covered with some corrective exercises With the Shin Box + we are learning a lot about the rotation of the hips, how well they do it passively (a form of flexibility) and how well they do it actively (a component of strength) When someone one can't rotate through your hips they will end up rotating through their lower back (or even their knees - really anywhere else) and this can be a source of problems Check the corrective exercises out if you have any trouble with this assessment at all! This is your daily dose of FiRE: Functional Integrated Resistive Exercise Why guess when you can assess and address! #shinbox #correctiveexercise #strengthandconditioning #hiphealth

Did you have some trouble with the wall angel? Swipe to see some exercises that help! Typical fitness is “one size fits all” which is why so many people get injured and fail to get the results they want and need. Just because a workout worked for a celebrity doesn’t mean it’s going to work for you and it may do more harm than good. We start with a quality physical assessment in our 8 Foundations of Movement and from there build a custom corrective exercise program to keep you safe while using our 8 Foundations of Exercise (Core, Squat, Hinge, Lunge, Push, Pull, Locomotion, Rotation) to get you strong. This is your daily dose of FiRE: Functional Integrated Resistive Exercise Why guess when you can assess and address! #wallangel #correctiveexercise #strengthandconditioning #posturalexercises

If you are looking for 1 exercise to cure all of your core weakness issues then this is NOT the exercise for you. Simply put that does not exist However, this is one of the best "bang for your buck" exercises on this planet and does a great job of helping people learn how to knit their ribs down onto their pelvis in various positions Give it a shot and tell us where you feel it below! #corestability #haloexercise #lowerbackpain #bestexercises #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning

I genuinely thought of myself as a better physical therapist when I just started out than I do today. Clearly I am better at helping people out now, but my impression of how much I thought I knew about the body was way higher before I started to see all the areas that I knew nothing about. It's uncomfortable at times, but that's part of being human, right? :) I learned what was taught to me in school and did pretty well so I thought I knew "physical therapy" but I really just knew what they wanted me to know. Then I got out into the real world and saw all the different schools of thought in PT, so eventually I learned more about them as well and helped out more people more effienctly. Now I like to surround myself with functional medicine doctors, strength coaches, acupunturists, chiropractors and anyone else that make me feel dumb. It's not always fun but it's awesome and forces me to understand why there are disagreements and how I can use that to my advantage. What have you learned more about in the last year? #knowledge #wisdome #physicaltherapy #strengthcoaching #growthmindset

Who doesn't want to know what it was really like in the NBA bubble and who better to tell us than world renowned PT and total boss Kimberly Caspare! @kimberlyjcaspare was selected to be one of the PTs who was in the bubble which is just one more accomplishment in her illustrious career. We will talk about what it was like in the bubble, how you can try and treat yourself like an NBA all-star, and also touch on what it's like to be a small business owner during this challenging time Kim will kindly answer on FiRE5: 1. How were you selected for the NBA bubble? 2. What did you learn in the bubble? 3. How do you increase performance while injured? 4. How do you view PTs in the sports medicine profession? 5. Can I take care of my body like an NBA All-star? I met Kim during a course that she hosted at her A+ facility PHLEX Health and Wellness Studio @phlexnyc in NYC a couple of years ago. We briefly chatted about how if all the quality small business PT clinic owners teamed up we could help each other out and therefore help out NYC. After that I read her bio and realized I was talking to one of the most accomplished PTs in the United States, no biggie :) When I saw that she was going to be in the bubble I knew that she had to be on the show! We will be coming together on WEDNESDAY this week at 6:30pm EST and will do our chat and then some of your own Q&A. If you won't make it but want a specific question answered, just reply to this and i'll ask for you on the air!

Do you want to never ever have to worry about someone making fun of your posture again?? Simply do this exercise ONE TIME and you will be the happiest most successful person on the planet for the rest of your life and even possibly after that :) For real - this is one of our favorite exercises to get the trunk extensors to pull your spine into neutral and keep it there .. since lots of people sit this exercise is really useful and can be done every day and in proportion to the amount of time you are sitting at a desk. Shout out to Yoga for lending us this great exercise! #parvatasana #seatedmountainpose #trunkstability #fixpoorposture #fixlowerbackpain

Do 1 set of 1 rep for this exercise and you will have the strongest hips in the world for all of eternity! So obviously we are kidding with the sets and reps but this is a great bang for your buck exercise You get your hip extensors, abductors, and all the rotators with one move - what works better than that! #diagonalsidebridge #hipstability #trochantericbursitis #fixyourhips

Fitness has trends that come and go, but we look forward to the day when even a quick assessment is part of everyone's exercise experience. You can read a lot of articles and find a lot of videos on what you should and shouldn't do, but how do you know if they apply to you specifically? Enter - the assessment! Think you might have tight ankles? Do a cowboy sit + Think you might have tight hips? Do a shinbox + Think you might have bad posture? Do a wall angel We will take you through our favorites (8 Foundations of Movement) but don't stop there. Test, Do something you think might help it, Re-test, Try something else, Test again Just don't guess :)
