Feeling blessed to be able to provide care for the Carshield hockey and soccer athletes in such an amazing space! Additionally, the athlete development model being implemented is everything I had hoped for! I was having conversations about what it should look like over a year ago and they NAILED it!

Introducing Movement Monday.

Every week: one movement screen, 60 seconds, no equipment. You test yourself. You drop your result. I tell you what it means for your training.

Starting today with hip internal rotation — one of the most undertested things in athletic bodies, and one of the biggest hidden drivers of knee pain, low back issues, and squat problems that don’t respond to stretching.

The test:
Sit on the edge of a chair. Feet flat, hip-width apart. Without letting your knee move, swing your foot outward as far as it goes. That’s hip internal rotation.

Do both sides.

Drop LEFT, RIGHT, EQUAL, or BOTH in the comments — I’ll reply to every single one and tell you what your result means for your lifts, your movement, and your injury risk.

Follow along. Movement Monday is here every week. It gets more specific from here.”

Just Pulled Your Groin? Don’t Make It Worse.

That sharp pain when you push off, change direction, or stretch your leg out?

You may have strained one of your adductors—the muscles that help control your leg during skating, cutting, and lateral movement.

The biggest mistake hockey players make?

Trying to “skate through it.”

A groin strain can feel better after a few days, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ready for full-speed skating.

Instead of going straight from pain → back on the ice, your rehab should progressively rebuild:

✅ Pain-free range of motion
✅ Adductor strength
✅ Single-leg control
✅ Lateral strength
✅ High-speed skating demands

Try these early-stage exercises:

1️⃣ Adductor Isometric Squeeze
Gently squeeze a ball or pad between your knees. Hold 20–30 seconds.

2️⃣ Short-Lever Copenhagen Plank
A great way to begin rebuilding adductor strength without immediately putting them through aggressive movement.

3️⃣ Controlled Lateral Lunge
Progressively challenge the groin through movement once you can perform it without significant pain.

Don’t use exercises as a test to see if you’re “good enough” to play.

If you just strained your groin, the goal is to progressively restore capacity—not repeatedly irritate the injury.

Hockey doesn’t get easier on your groin because it feels better.

Make sure your groin is ready for the demands of hockey before you return to full-speed skating.

PAIN IS LYING TO YOU.

Pain tells you to stop.

Pain tells you you’re getting older.

Pain tells you this is just the way it’s going to be.

Most of the time...

It’s wrong.

Your body is incredibly resilient when it’s given the right plan.

The goal isn’t to stop moving.

The goal is to move better.

At Prime Athletic Therapy & Performance, we help active people find the root cause of pain so they can get back to lifting, running, competing, and living the life they love.

Don’t let pain write the ending to your story.

Let’s change it.

No more guessing. No more "just take it easy." Just a real plan to get you back to what you love.

Parents will spend thousands each year on club fees, tournaments, travel, camps, sticks, bats, shoes, and lessons.
Those things absolutely have value.
But here’s the question:
Are you investing in the one thing that makes all of those investments worthwhile?
Your athlete’s body.
An athlete who can’t move well, recover well, or stay healthy can’t perform at their best—no matter how many camps they attend.
Recovery isn’t about massages or taking it easy.
It’s about keeping athletes available to train, compete, and improve.
At Prime Athletic Therapy & Performance, we help active athletes build resilient bodies through movement assessments, hands-on treatment, mobility, recovery strategies, and injury prevention.
The goal isn’t just to play more.
It’s to stay healthy enough to keep playing.
Your athlete is their greatest asset. Invest accordingly.

DON’T STOP.

Don’t stop lifting because your shoulder hurts.

Don’t stop running because your knee aches.

Don’t stop playing with your kids because your back won’t cooperate.

Don’t stop chasing a PR because pain has convinced you it’s “just part of getting older.”

At Prime Athletic Therapy & Performance, we believe pain should never be the reason you give up the life you love.

We don’t just treat symptoms—we identify the root cause, build a plan that fits your goals, and help you get back to training, competing, and living with confidence.

Your body is built to move.

Don’t stop.
