Celebrating Shahram!

After 4 months with us at Physio Performance, it’s time to say goodbye to our DPT intern, Shahram!

Shahram quickly became part of our team — our clients loved working with him, and we loved watching him grow in his confidence and skills as a future PT.

He also gave our team a fantastic in-service on the pelvic floor, bringing new research and clinical knowledge that we can continue to use with our clients. 👏

Shahram, thank you for your hard work, curiosity, and the care you showed our clients every day.

We know you’re going to make an awesome PT, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

Congratulations, Shahram! ❤️💪

Recovery after surgery is not just about getting back to where you were. It’s about rebuilding strength, restoring confidence, and preparing your body for the demands you want to return to.

For Jimmy, that meant working through recovery after surgery for a torn labrum while keeping his goals as a contact athlete in mind. With the right progression and support, he’s been able to make significant progress and continue building toward the level of performance he wants.

At Physio Performance, we believe rehab should prepare you for more than everyday movement. Whether your goal is returning to sport, training harder, or simply feeling stronger in your body, the process should continue beyond pain relief and help build the strength, control, and capacity you need for what comes next.

We’re grateful to be part of your journey, Jimmy. 💙

Heels elevated kettlebell squats are a great way to build lower body strength while improving control throughout the movement.

Follow these steps:

1. Hold the kettlebell close to your chest
2. Stand with your heels elevated on the weight plate
3. Brace your core and stay balanced
4. Reach the kettlebell forward as you lower into the squat
5. Push through your feet as you bring the kettlebell back toward your chest
6. Finish tall and stay controlled throughout the movement

Moving well isn't about doing every variation—it's about finding the one that works best for you.

Comment STRENGTH and let's find the one that fits you.

Sometimes a small adjustment can make a big difference.

Heels elevated kettlebell squats can help build lower body strength, improve squat depth, and encourage a more upright torso throughout the movement.

They're not necessarily "better" than every other squat—they're simply another variation that may work well depending on your goals and how your body moves.

Good movement starts with the right variation.

Comment STRENGTH and let's find the one that fits you.

If you're constantly stretching the same area and it never seems to improve, you're not alone.

A muscle can feel tight even when it isn't actually short. Sometimes it's working overtime to create support because another area isn't doing its job.

Understanding why a muscle feels tight is often more important than simply stretching it again. The body always has a reason.

Comment "RECOVER" and we'll help you understand why those muscles may still feel tight.

Progress isn’t just about feeling better. It’s about understanding your body, rebuilding strength, and gaining the confidence to keep moving forward.

Dara’s experience is a great example of what can happen when recovery goes beyond simply addressing pain. Through her work with Maggie and the Physio Performance team, she’s not only getting stronger, but also learning more about how her injury happened and what her body needs to move and feel its best.

That understanding is such an important part of long-term progress. When you know the “why” behind what you’re experiencing, you can become more confident in your movement and more intentional about building lasting strength.

We’re grateful to be part of Dara’s journey and incredibly thankful for her kind words and trust in our team. Seeing our clients become stronger, more knowledgeable, and more confident in their bodies is exactly why we do what we do. 💙

Thank you, Dara, for sharing your experience with us!

Step-ups are more than just stepping onto a box—they're a great way to build strength and control one leg at a time.

Follow these steps:

1. Place one foot firmly on the box
2. Hold the dumbbell on one side and lightly hold the dowel for balance
3. Brace your core before stepping up
4. Drive through the foot on the box
5. Stand tall with control at the top
6. Lower back down slowly and repeat

Take your time and stay in control throughout each rep.

Comment STRENGTH and let's build it together.

Ever notice how the tightness comes right back after you stretch?

Stretching can improve range of motion, but strength is what helps your body keep it. Without strength and control, your body often falls back into old movement patterns.

That's why lasting change usually requires more than stretching alone.

Comment "RESTORE" and we'll help you identify what's missing from your mobility routine.

Wall balls require more than just throwing a ball at a wall.

To get the most out of this exercise, focus on generating power through your legs, transferring that force through your body, and maintaining control throughout the movement.

Follow these steps:

1. Hold the medicine ball at chest height and stand facing the wall.

2. Lower into a squat while keeping your chest tall and core engaged.

3. Drive through your feet and extend your hips as you stand up.

4. Use the momentum from your legs to throw the ball toward the target.

5. Catch the ball softly and absorb the force by returning into a squat.

6. Continue the movement in one smooth and controlled sequence.

This exercise looks straightforward, but timing, coordination, and control make all the difference. If it feels harder than expected, comment STRENGTH and let's help you improve it.

Recovery is about more than simply addressing pain. It’s about understanding where that pain is coming from, building a plan around your individual needs, and creating progress that lasts beyond the clinic.

For Justin, that meant finding answers after multiple surgeries and experiences with physical therapy. Working with Maggie helped identify what was contributing to his pain and gave him a clear path forward. With the right approach and targeted treatment, he began seeing meaningful results within just a few sessions.

At Physio Performance, we take the time to understand the full picture. Every patient brings a different history, different goals, and different challenges, which is why treatment should never be one-size-fits-all. Our goal is to help you understand your body, address the source of the problem, and build the strength and confidence to keep moving forward.

We’re grateful to be part of your journey, Justin. 💙
