Ten years on one piece of stone.

Nobody gets that anymore. Not because we got lazy but because everything is built around finishing, and finishing is not the same thing as making something that lasts.

I think about that with people all the time. Almost everyone shows up wanting to be done. Done hurting, done rehabbing, done thinking about it. Which I get. But done and durable are different outcomes and they take different amounts of time.

Anyway. Stood in front of this thing way too long and have been chewing on it ever since.

Slow down. Dumb it down. Build it up.

That’s the whole process, and I say it out loud in evals now so people know which phase they’re in and why.

The part that surprises most people is that sometimes the first move is to do less. Not because rest fixes anything on its own, but because you can’t read a system that’s flared up. Get sleep and routine back, let things settle, and suddenly you can actually see what’s driving it.

Then the work gets simple. Then it gets hard on purpose.

If you’re receiving care right now and you can’t answer which phase you’re in, that’s worth asking about.

IT band syndrome is one of those things people get told to stretch and foam roll forever.

It rarely works, because the IT band isn’t really the problem. It’s the thing getting irritated by how you’re moving. Something above it or below it isn’t doing its job, the load has to go somewhere, and it ends up there.

So we looked at the pattern instead of the spot. Found what was driving it, calmed the tissue down, and built a plan around his actual training instead of pausing his season.

Pain was manageable in a few weeks. He went on to finish an Ironman.

If something keeps flaring every time you ramp up, the answer usually isn’t more rolling. It’s figuring out why that tissue is the one absorbing everything.

I used to walk into sessions with the answer already picked.

I’d come back from a mentorship fired up, learn something that worked, and then try to systematize it. Make it repeatable. Which sounds like good clinical thinking, and sometimes it is. But what was actually happening is I’d meet someone new and spend the hour trying to make them fit the thing I’d just learned.

If you’ve ever left a PT appointment with a sheet of exercises and a vague feeling that you got handed someone else’s plan, that’s what that is.

I still have a system. Everybody does. The difference now is I’m willing to put it down when the person in front of me doesn’t match it.

Most of what I do is less complicated than it used to be. Get you moving in ways you don’t normally move, keep it tolerable, make it harder over time. I get specific when there’s an obvious reason to, not because being specific makes me look like I know more.

The strange part is that letting go of the perfect answer made me better at this, not worse. When I’m not busy trying to be right, I can actually pay attention to you.

So if you’re choosing someone to work with, that’s the thing I’d look for. Not whether they have a method. Whether they can set it aside for you.

Got back from Austria a few days ago and haven’t stopped thinking about how differently that place is built.

Not in a “we should all move to Europe” way. I love it here. But walking there is just how you get places. Here it’s a thing you have to carve out time for, and that’s a real difference in how a body ends up living.

I’m not going to pretend I have a fix for this. I still drive to work and drive to the gym like everyone else.

The only thing I’d say is that if movement takes intent where you live, then the intent is worth protecting. Park further out. Take the call on your feet. Walk after dinner instead of sitting down.

None of that’s impressive. It just adds up in a way an hour at the gym doesn’t cover on its own.

Two good clinicians can look at the same person and come up with completely different plans. Both can work and that trips people up, but it shouldn’t.

Movement isn’t rigid. There’s no single correct exercise for a given problem, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you a method, not solving your problem. What actually matters is whether the principles underneath are sound.

Mine don’t change. Address the pain first, because that’s what brought you in. Then look at how you actually move, across respiration, mobility, coordination, capacity, general strength patterns, single leg, plyos, etc. Then get you back to the thing you’re trying to do. That sequence stays. What lives inside each of those looks different for every single person who walks in.

More importantly: You’re not buying a method. You’re picking a person.

This is a service industry, and you’re about to give someone your time, your money, and a fair amount of trust. So can you actually have a conversation with them? Not about your pain. About you. If your guard is up, or theirs is, it’s going to be hard to get anywhere real.

Ask questions. A provider’s job isn’t just to get you better, it’s to make sure you understand what’s happening in your own body. If they can’t do that, you’re in a do-as-I-say relationship. Some people genuinely want that and that’s fine. Just know that’s what you chose.

The thing I pay attention to is whether someone can take a no as well as a yes.

There’s no one right way/method to do this. There is a right fit for you.

Different people and different problems.

Everyone starts where they actually are, not where a protocol says they should be.

Needles when the system is too loud to do anything else. Breathwork when nothing will unlock without it. A drill so small you’d scroll past it. Then bridges, then split squats, then hinges, then pogos, then bounding, then someone back out on their bike.

That order isn’t decoration. Calm it down, restore the option, load it until it’s real, then teach it to hold up at speed. Skip a rung and you end up back where you started wondering why it keeps flaring.

Nobody in here is behind anybody else. They’re just in different chapters.

That’s the part I can’t do for them either. I can read the pattern and build the plan. Showing up on the boring days is theirs.

Come find out what your version looks like.

Came in with pain on the inside of his thigh every time he ran.

Goal: run a marathon in all 50 states.

He’d been trying to push through it. Most runners do. You assume the problem is where the pain is.
It wasn’t.

His right hip wasn’t opening up the way it needed to. So everything around it, the glutes, the thigh, even the opposite leg, was compensating to cover the gap. The thigh pain was just the loudest symptom, not the actual problem.

We built a plan around how his body actually moves. Pre-run movement prep, strength, plyometrics, all tailored to him and his goal.

He’s since run a full marathon with no pain. Running less too, four days instead of five, and getting better results.

The pain was never the thing to chase. The way he was moving was.

Wasn’t the internet supposed to make this simpler?

We have more access to good information than any generation before us. And somehow we’ve overcomplicated the hell out of stuff that was never that complicated.

Most fitness and health content isn’t built to educate you. It’s built to hold your attention. Because attention is what gets sold. And the stuff that keeps you scrolling isn’t the stuff that actually moves your body or gets you real results. Those are two different games.

The people I work with are usually heads-down grinders. They work hard, and when they finally get a minute, they scroll, see something, and think “maybe I should try that.” Sometimes it helps. Usually it doesn’t.

Bottom line is this: move in a way you enjoy. Do it in a way you can repeat. Get stronger over time. Don’t stop.

There’s no perfect squat. No perfect form. No perfect exercise. Are there better ways to do things? Sure. And if you actually care, you’ll go find them.

The basics were always enough. We just buried them.
