PT school didn't prepare us for this.

One in three moms still has ab separation a year postpartum—but the gap isn’t the real problem.
What matters is how your core handles pressure. Two women can have the same separation and totally different symptoms. Strength, control, and coordination are the goal—not just “closing the gap.”
Function over fear. Always.

Here are 5 exercises that I am currently programming into my workouts to make sure I can continue to play competitive basketball on a regular basis

Ramp Elevated Spanish Squat Iso - a great squatting variation to isolate the quads while also extremely helpful for grumpy patellar and quad tendons

Alternating Split Squat Decels - working on decelerating my body with a forward foot position

Low Bear SA DB Row - provides combination of core stability, isometric quads, trunk rotation and more

Overcoming Calf Raise Iso - using the overcoming isometric to work on achilles tendon strength and health

Band Assisted Forward Decels - similar in working on deceleration with a forward foot position, but now the resistance band add more of a horizontal force that must be managed

Sport doesn’t give you time to gradually build force. Cutting, jumping/landing, and decelerating all require rapid force production. After ACL surgery, this is often one of the last physical qualities to fully return—and one that must be trained intentionally.
That’s why late-stage rehab shouldn’t focus only on:
✔️ Max strength
but also on:
✔️ Explosive intent
✔️ Reactive strength
✔️ High-speed deceleration and landing control

Tight ≠ short.
Stretching ≠ always the solution.

PT school taught us anatomy. Patients taught everything else.

🤰🏋️‍♀️ Lifting during pregnancy isn’t risky—it’s powerful.
Research across 50+ studies shows moms who strength train tend to have shorter labors and higher chances of vaginal delivery. When done safely and with the right guidance, lifting helps your body prepare for birth, not fear it.
Strong pregnancy = strong recovery.
Your body was made for this.
Remember, each pregnancy and person is different– listen to your medical providers and their precautions.

#3 is key.

Thank you to every single person so far who has been part of this journey and allowed me the opportunity to do what I love: help people solve meaningful problems. I hope I’ve been able to make a positive difference in your life.

Runners optimize mileage, workouts, and race plans—
but many still deal with nagging injuries or fatigue.
Strength training, including mobility work and plyometrics, isn’t extra.
It is necessary to protect against injury, maintain consistency, and improve performance.
