Most rehab stalls because it lives in the gray zone…
too easy to adapt, too vague to progress and poorly executed.

If the exercise can’t be repeated, loaded, and advanced with intent, it’s not preparing you for real life or sport.

A huge thank you to for sharing his model and approach to high-quality rehab.
His online education is some of the best content available for rehab professionals.
I’ve seen a significant impact from integrating aspects of his model into my practice 🙏

For athletes, lateral band walks and bodyweight step-downs fall well short of the progressive overload required for real adaptation. And ultimately fail to prepare you for a pain-free return to sport or hobbies.

Rehab Performance

When done correctly there shouldn’t be a gap between the two.

Weekly Roundup

1. Been playing with overcoming ISO’s lately
2. Be f*cking violent with lightly loaded plyos
3. Exploring the rehab process for groin pain during the last trimester
4. Getting people to push themselves back and down during a FFESS to help open the back of the body
5. Trying 10x10 protocol with my sprint club. Mary who is 65 years old is in regular attendance
6. Light med ball conditioning work that also helps the shoulder blades glide and slide around the rib cage
7. Some core work… because you still need to train that muscle group just like every other one

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play…”
- Lawrence Pearsall Jacks

Weekly recap: I’m hitting around 15 sessions a week right now with a solid mix of rehab (lots of knee and pelvis issues) and pure performance/fitness.

I always see the debate between rehab and performance. In my opinion, quality performance training is good rehab.

It’s such a blast to be able to shift from working with a chronic pain client to a D1-caliber athlete in the same day. Keeps me on my toes and forever in love with the work 🙏

Struggling with pain or performance limitations? DM me to schedule a free consultation

Stay strong and be kind,

I haven’t ran a mile since 2019. Last week, with zero prep or warm-up, I went out and ran 3. The next morning my Achilles felt like it was going to explode 🙈… we call that an acute load spike.

So today I’m actually prepping my body for a running session. The goal of this warm-up is to open up my pelvis and expose the tissues of my lower limbs to the demands of running.

Warm-Up
• Reaching split squat drops
• Kickstand chops
• Cross-body reaching cable split squats
• Floating heel iso — 60s hold
• Pogo pops
• Penguin march

First lift in The Lab this morning. Had no idea how much I craved having a space that’s fully mine. A place where the only progress I’m tracking is my own. Grateful to be making memories here 🙏

.higby was my very first coach back in 2011 - so today was a true honor and full-circle moment getting to share my work with her 🙏

Excited to start working with her and other active moms. So much respect for all the moms (and moms-to-be) putting the work in… keep it up!

The number of dudes I’ve met in the Austin hippie/conscious community who haven’t touched a barbell in years but can’t wait to show me their slide deck on PUFAs is outrageous.

Trying to improve your ankle mobility? You’ve got to appreciate the rest of the lower limb.

Your shin needs to move from a negative angle to a positive without your heel leaving the floor — otherwise you’re just half-repping your life away.

Think twice. Stay strong. Be The Change.

Don’t get me wrong- I’m a sucker for some dry needling and a huge proponent of soft tissue work. In fact, I start almost every session with 10–15 minutes of bodywork.

But here’s the key: I’m using touch to set the stage, not to be the main act.

Passive treatments are tools to create a window of opportunity within the nervous system and that’s where the real work begins. We should be using that window to start loading the tissue and restoring movement capacity.

When that piece gets missed, treatments start to look less like rehab and more like a spa visits.

Think twice. Stay strong. Be the change.
- Michael
