A few moments from the clinic—where small wins add up to big results.

Position dictates function.
Gravity, our internal organ placement, our brain, and our given structures/shapes help to drive positions in our body.
Those things will then dictate function.

Understand how to restore certain shapes in your body to improve position so that you can improve function.

And for the majority of you: It’s likely NOT “wear and tear” (but sometimes, it is).

Poorly supported headstand causing neck pain to a better looking headstand with no pain. 60 minutes. One session.

What did we work on to make it happen?

Leave your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned 👀

Try this out ⬇️

When I first got started with running, one of the best things I did to help me prepare and train for running was skipping rope. It was hard at first – the timing, the coordination, and the painful whips when I messed up.

But overtime, as my rhythm and coordination improved, skipping rope became more of a workout that felt very similar to running.

My heart rate went up.

My calves were burning.

Ten minutes of jumping felt like I had just run a mile.

These days, skipping rope is one modality I prescribe patients looking to get back to running after surgery or injury.

There are so many different variations and patterns that can be progressed up to just before actually running.

I’ve really felt the difference in ground contact time after skipping rope, not spending so much time on the ground so I can propel myself forward more efficiently.

If you haven’t thought of this, give skipping rope a try and let us know how it helps your running!

Your brain needs to keep you alive.

It will do so however it can, and usually through two main mechanisms:

1) Breathing
2) Movement

And even if the strategy is suboptimal, it doesn’t matter. That can show up as compensatory breathing strategies that cause tightness or pain. That can show up as compensatory movement strategies that over-torque a knee, a spine, a neck. That can also show up as a distorted perception of reality, but that’s a different conversation…
Pain is multifactorial and an inevitability in life at some point (in all forms). But happier nervous systems that feel safer (systems that breathe, stand, and walk well) and usually more relaxed and usually don’t experience as much pain.

These are 3 of the biggest tests we look at after ACL surgery:

• Quad Strength Testing → Can the quads produce sufficient force? Return to sport clearance should be
• Triple Hop Crossover → Can the athlete produce force, while still maintaining control and stability as frontal plane movement is introduced?
• Force Plate Countermovement Jump → How is the athlete loading, exploding, and absorbing force?

Strength matters.
Power matters.
Control matters.

The goal isn’t just returning to sport — it’s returning ready.

The details matter.
