Shoulder instability when you ride, lift, or sit at your desk?
Clicking, pinching, or that “my shoulder doesn’t feel secure” feeling?

Most people keep stretching their shoulder… but they never actually stabilize it.

Here’s the quick version:

Pull out against the band to wake up the stabilizers.
Push your chest away from the table to set the shoulder blade.
Hold + breathe to teach your nervous system where “safe” actually is.

And yes — if you feel a burn, that’s your sign you needed this.

A stronger, more stable shoulder = better control on the bike, cleaner mechanics on the trail, and less of that annoying pinch when you reach overhead.

If your shoulder has been unstable since an old injury — or just keeps clicking for no reason — we can help you figure out what your body is trying to tell you.

Tight hips when you hike, ride, or run?
Most people keep stretching their hip flexors… but they never actually reset the hip.

Here’s the quick version:

Squeeze your glute first to stop the hip from dumping forward.

Let the band pull the hip back where it belongs.

Hold + breathe to let the nervous system relax.

Repeat just three times. That’s all you need.

A stronger, cleaner hip position = better climbs, smoother running, and less low-back tugging.

If your hip flexors stay tight no matter how much you stretch, we can help you find the real reason why.

Tight shoulders? Stiff upper back? Posture feeling “off”?

This simple wall drill is one we use every week. The majority of us don’t get to spend every waking hour outdoors as much as we would like. So before you head out the door after spending time at your desk, give your posture a reset.

A flat back, shoulders on the wall, and elbows that stay connected help reset the upper back, wake up your postural muscles, and make your body feel more aligned before whatever movement you’re about to do.

If your posture feels stuck or stiff, either for your indoor or outdoor activities, we can help you figure out the real reason why — and get you moving with confidence again.

Meet our MTN Wellness Ambassador, Ben Hall, PT — runner, former college coach, and sports medicine specialist who understands athletes from every angle.

Ben knows what it feels like to chase mileage, manage nerves before a race, and want nothing more than to just run when your body is telling you to slow down. That experience shapes how he treats athletes today: with empathy, strategy, and a clear plan for long-term resilience.

His biggest advice for runners?
Address the small aches early, and strengthen your hips.
Because the sooner you catch a pattern, the sooner you stay on the trail.

Ben stays busy at Montreat College and we are grateful at MTN Wellness for the way he supports athletes across WNC.

Hope to see you on Feb 16th at Mchone Performance Training for our workshop!

You stretched us, grew us, and reminded us why we love what we do.

From trail miles and strength wins to dry needling breakthroughs and nervous system resets — we showed up, learned, laughed, and kept moving forward together. Grateful for every moment given, each person we treated and every bit of strength opportunity placed in our path.

Here are a few moments that made this year really mean something.

Now, onto 2026.
More growth, more grit, more joy in movement — and trusting the One who leads us into each new season.
We’re just getting started. How about you? 💪
