Most people spend the week before Murph either trying to cram in last-minute fitness, or taking the whole week off so they don’t show up sore.

Both are wrong. ❌

The money is already in the bank. 💰 The week before Murph isn’t for building anything. It’s for confirming what you’ve already built.

That’s the 85% Rule.

The week before, you test pieces of Murph at 85% effort. Not all of it. Not even close. Just enough to take the blindfold off 👀 and know where you actually stand on Monday.

8:00 mile goal? Run 9:12 the weekend before, twice, with a light workout in between. Both should feel like you have plenty left. 🏃

100 pull-ups split as 5x20? Do 4x20 + a set of 5. Your arms should not be melting.

200 push-ups as 4x50? Do 3x50 + 20. Still fresh at the end.

300 squats as 6x50? Do 5x50 + 5. Same. 💪

If those felt easy, money’s in the bank. Walk into Monday and execute.

If something felt harder than it should have, that’s not bad news. That’s information. Now you know your bottleneck, and you have a week to work on it instead of finding out the hard way.

Three lifts.
Three complaints.
One root cause that nobody’s talking about.

If you’ve ever finished a workout wondering…
why your back is fried instead of your hamstrings,
why your cleans keep bouncing off your thighs,
why your hip flexors feel wrecked after a session that wasn’t even that bad…

this one’s for you. 🫵

Swipe through. There’s a 30-second test that’ll tell you everything. All you need is a free hand and a little honesty. 👀

If you fail it, the homework is in here too. Do it for a week. If nothing changes, that’s when we step in. Link in bio to book a call.

You trained for months. The race is in two weeks. And now your body is falling apart.

We see this every single race week, and here’s what almost nobody tells injured athletes on a deadline:

You’ve actually got TWO problems, not one.

Problem 1: Get through race day.

Problem 2: Actually fix the thing so it doesn’t keep happening.

Those are different jobs. Different timelines. Different plans. And when you try to solve them at the same time (which most people do), you usually solve neither.

The athletes who race well through a nagging injury do it on purpose, with a two-lane strategy:

🏁 Lane 1 is race-day symptom management. Get pain down enough to race hard without making things worse. 2-4 week window.

🔧 Lane 2 is the actual root-cause fix. Comes AFTER the race. 6-12 weeks. Makes sure next season doesn’t look like this one.

Most providers default to Lane 2 treatment on a Lane 1 timeline, which is why you get told to rest when what you actually needed was a smart plan.

If you’ve got something big coming up and your body is not cooperating, you don’t have to withdraw and you don’t have to push through and pray.

There’s a smarter middle lane. Link in bio if you want help finding it. 🔗

This is your bicep tendon on every rep when your shoulder is restricted. 🧵⬆️

Had a CrossFit athlete in recently. Top 10% Open finisher, trains 5x/week, and couldn’t do a ring dip for six months.

We tested two movements. Internal rotation: 15 degrees (needs 60+). Extension: 10 degrees (needs 60). His shoulder was sliding forward in the socket on every press, grinding his bicep tendon like a rope over a sharp corner.

Six months of massage guns, lacrosse balls, CBD, and hoping it would go away. The shoulder was never the problem. It just got stuck with the blame.

20 minutes later: 15 degrees → almost 60.

We’ve seen this exact pattern probably 100 times. If your shoulder has been bugging you for months and nothing’s working, it’s probably not what you think it is.

That’s actually good news 🤙

Doctors told Eric he had a cyst and torn meniscus, that his lifestyle was going to have to change, and that surgery was probably the only way forward. 🔪

He’s in his 30s. Super active. Two young daughters. And he was basically being told to start slowing down.

Then he showed up to one of our free injury screenings.
We found something no one else had even looked for. Less than a month later, the cyst was completely gone. No surgery. No “lifestyle changes.” And now he’s squatting heavier than he has in five years. 🏋️

But here’s the part that matters most: we’re not done. Because getting out of pain was never the finish line. We’re fixing the root cause mechanics that created the problem in the first place so Eric can stay out of that injury cycle for good. 👊

We’re nominated for Best Physical Therapy Practice in the Best of the Willamette Valley!! 🏆

It’s amazing to scroll through the list and see all the incredible local businesses on there. We’re honored to be included.

This year has been amazing. We’ve gotten to help people do some truly awesome stuff. Everything from hitting race PRs to cancelling surgeries they had been told were inevitable to getting back onto the golf course with their kids. If you’ve been part of that with us, we’d love your vote.

Here’s how:

1. votebowv.com (link in bio)
2. Click Health & Beauty → Physical Therapy → Performx
3. FYI: you have to click twice to submit. Once to review your ballot, then again to confirm. We found out last year that a bunch of people thought they voted but only made it through the first click 😅

You can vote once a day, every day through April 3rd. Add it to the morning coffee routine ☕

It’s wild to reflect on where we were during voting last year… and that’s because of you. Thank you for being part of what we’re building. 👊

Your Achilles feels 90% better. So you stop doing the exercises.

Three weeks later, it’s back.

Sound familiar?

Here’s what’s actually happening:

Tendons need 8-10 weeks minimum to heal. Not “until it stops hurting.” Actual tissue adaptation time.

When you overload a tendon, it develops microscopic tears. The tissue lays back down disorganized—weaker than before, even when the pain drops.

Most people bail at week 3-4 when it feels better. They’re maybe 30% through actual healing.

Then they’re shocked when it comes back.

“Feeling better” and “healed” are not the same thing.

If you’ve been stuck in the “it’s better… wait no it’s not” cycle, let’s map your actual plan and finish what you started.

Things we hear all the time: 🙉🙅‍♂️

“I need to get surgery again.”
“My knee will just never be as strong as my other one.”
“It’s genetic.”
“Once you tear your ACL, you’re never the same.”
“I just have bad knees.”

And almost every time, nobody has ever explained the actual reason their knee keeps giving out. 🤦‍♂️

When your knee caves inward during movement (running, jumping, squatting, cutting), your ACL and meniscus become the safety net. Do it enough times, and that net breaks.

The wild part? It’s one of the easiest things to fix:
→ Foot straight
→ Glutes engaged
→ Don’t let knee drift inside your second toe

This is basics 101. It’s taught in PT school. 📚 And yet we’ve had patient after patient come in after multiple surgeries who’ve never been told this.

If your knee keeps “giving out,” it’s probably not bad luck. It’s a pattern. And patterns can be fixed. 💪

Last Saturday we partnered with to host a running workshop. Fifteen runners, wearable sensors, and force portraits that show exactly what’s happening when you run. 🏃‍♀️

One runner scored a 99. The rest of us? We had some things to work on. 😅

1️⃣ This is Diego. He’s 17, just signed to run at Eastern Oregon, and a few months ago got bored at 4pm and (naturally) decided to do a 24-hour ultra starting at midnight. 48 miles. Because he was bored. His force portrait is about as clean as it gets.

2️⃣ And then there’s the rest of us. This is a solid runner with a performance score of 71, but there’s still room to improve. Most of us looked something like this.

3️⃣ Cadence matters. 🕰️This runner was at 148 steps per minute (the target is around 180). Lower cadence usually means longer strides, which means more braking with every step.

4️⃣ This one shows a hip mobility score of 34 on one side and 67 on the other. ⚖️ When one hip is that much tighter, your body compensates. Usually that means your back, knee, or Achilles starts picking up the slack.

5️⃣ See how much wider this force portrait is? That’s lateral movement, energy going sideways instead of forward. Usually means hip strength needs work.

6️⃣ The good news: these are patterns, not permanent problems. Almost everyone at the workshop needed a flavor of the same two things: hip flexor mobility and higher cadence.

We’re now using this tech in our running assessments. You get the force portrait (the picture of what’s happening), plus our eyes on your movement, plus a custom plan to actually fix what we find. The sensor is crazy cool. What we can do with it when paired with a running assessment is the part you can’t DIY.

That knee that flares up at mile 8.
The IT band that’s been “almost better” for six months.
The Achilles you’re just hoping doesn’t get worse.

You’ve tried rest. You’ve tried new shoes. You’ve Googled “hip strengthening for runners” more times than you’d admit.

Here’s what nobody’s told you: your body isn’t broken.

You have a movement pattern that’s creating compensation. And patterns can be fixed, but only if someone actually takes the time to find them.

That’s what this workshop is for.

Saturday, January 17th | 7:30am | Independence

Here’s what’s happening:

→ 7:30am Group run from Riverview Park (5K or longer, all paces welcome)
→ Coffee and hangs at the clinic while you catch your breath
→ 8:30am Individualized running assessment with Aletheia wearable tech (first 10 registered)
→ 9:00am Group movement session where you’ll feel the difference before you leave

This isn’t a lecture. It’s 20 runners, real gait analysis, and the “why” behind whatever keeps flaring up.

It’s free. But it’s limited to 20 people, and only the first 10 get the sensor assessment.
