How exactly is tissue specific training different from standard approaches? You may end up thinking differently about how often you use the terms exercise, strength training, physical activity…etc to account for all the training adaptations you need for health and longevity.
It is important to think about how general many of these terms are and therefore, how general many of the adaptations we get from them can be. This isn’t to take away from the general adaptations of exercise being a net positive — but more to highlight that specificity matters for the tissues of your physical health that remain unaddressed.
This is why programming can be a major bottleneck if you aren’t accounting for individual factors around you joint specific prerequisites, what your goals are, what your current training does and does not consider, etc.
I wish just as much as anyone that it were simpler, but it can start to feel like more of a relief to acknowledge this reality and start taking the steps to learn this entirely achievable goal around what your joint specific prerequisites are, what they mean for how you move, how they can influence nagging injuries and plateaus in performance, and what you can do about that. It starts with building in joint and connective tissue training into your practice —because you need those tissues to be healthy year round!
