Most athletes hit a dead end at some point.
They’re told to stop. Rest more. Foam roll again.

But pain isn’t always a red light.
Sometimes it’s a load problem. Sometimes it’s a capacity problem.

At Spectrum, we don’t shut athletes down,
we build them back up.

Strong. Resilient. Well.
Train through pain, intelligently.

If you've ever had any pain or discomfort with overhead movements like an overhead squat, a sn**ch, or clean and jerk, then adding strength and stability to that position may be just what you need.

Give these movements a try and let us know what you think!

I started this clinic because I genuinely believe people should be able to stay active, train, and live their lives without constantly worrying about pain or getting sidelined.

Every year around this time, I see the same thing happen in our community.

People start the year motivated. They’re doing their best to make changes, and then an old injury flares up, or something doesn’t feel right, and suddenly everything feels harder than it should.

Resolution Rescue isn’t about discounts or promotions. It’s about giving people a smart, low-pressure way to get clarity, get help, and keep moving forward instead of quietly giving up on goals that actually matter to them.

As of right now, we have 2 Resolution Rescue spots left, and the offer ends tonight.

If this sounds like something you’ve been on the fence about, I’d genuinely love for you to take advantage of it!

Because what you carry matters, and how you carry it matters too.

Because what you carry matters, and how you carry it matters too.
Strength isn’t just about lifting more. It’s about carrying the load with intention, care, and sustainability.

Trying to do it completely on your own usually isn’t the smartest move.

Not because you’re unmotivated.
Not because you “need fixing.”

Because every meaningful goal works better with a guide.

People hire coaches for business.
They hire trainers for performance.
They hire experts when the cost of guessing gets expensive.

Your body is no different.
Physical Therapy probably isn't what you think it is.
Here's what it actually looks like..

Working with the same clinician you’d work with long term
A full assessment + treatment + clear plan
Guidance around the things that actually drive results: training, recovery, stress, and sleep

The goal isn’t just to get you out of pain. It’s to help you keep showing up consistently without setbacks.

That’s exactly why we built Resolution Rescue:

Traditional Resistance Training vs Torque Training: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aimed to determine if there is a difference in how effective resistance training with heavy loads is for improving endurance performance in cyclists, compared to torque training and to doing neither.

Traditional resistance training in this study meant doing an exercise with a resistance of 70% of the subject's 1 rep max. Torque training is when cyclists increase the resistance on their bike to a high level, then pedal at a lower cadence. The control group did neither.

There were 27 male subjects, 9 were placed into each group for this 10 week study. The resistance training group did 5 sets of 7 squats at 70% 1RM with 4 minutes between sets 2 times per week. The torque training group did 5 sets of 4 minute intervals at 70% of their VO2 max power output with at 50 revs per minute with 2 minutes between sets 2 times per week.

The findings of the study were that only the traditional resistance training group had significant improvements to their performance. Maximal Aerobic Power (MAP), Ventilatory Threshold 1 (VT1), and Respiratory Compensation Point (RCP) all improved significantly with heavy resistance training only, *not* with torque training.

Our key takeaways here are simple. Even though we want strengthening and workouts to look functional, in this case, the best thing you can do is push yourself in the gym with the heavy resistances we can create using weights and other resistance training equipment.

Even if you don't like using barbell equipment, there are other tools at your disposable that will help in producing more force when cycling, and will help in your endurance performance.

The main limitation here is that all subjects were male. It would also be great to see this done with a bigger sample size.

If you have questions, or would like to get started with this type of strenthening, but don't know where to start, reach out to us!

Have you ever had knee pain when going up and down stairs, during or after a run, or when trying out those exercises you've seen online? You've tried out all the exercises, you've tried icing, resting, but still not getting relief with pain. You're not alone.

Knee pain has many factors that can make it better or worse, but a vast majority of the time, rest is not the answer.

Our job as physical therapists is to help someone find the right entry point to start or return to their activity of choice.

Finding a way to relieve stress on the knee, while keeping yourself moving is key to helping get long term pain relief.

In this video, Dr. Sebastian is rowing and walking to keep his body moving in a way that limits stress to the knee. Lunges with the trunk forward put more emphasis on the hips, and single leg wall sits purposefully load the quad and knee to help strengthen the area.

We specialize in helping people stay active and return to their highest level of sport and performance. If this sounds like you, then we can help. Check out our link for a complementary call to see how we can best help.

Now that we're officially a month into the new year, it usually means one of two things. Either things are rolling and you’re feeling great, or the excitement from January has started to wear off a bit.

That early-January motivation is powerful!
New goals.
New routines.
Big plans.

But once real life kicks back in with work, stress, and busy schedules, it can get harder to stay consistent.

Sometimes little aches start showing up.

Sometimes an old injury whispers, “Hey, remember me?”

Does that sound familiar?

If it does, you're not alone. We see it every year from patients just like you!

The good news is feeling a little off at the one-month mark doesn’t mean your goals are slipping away.

It just means your body is adapting to something new. That's part of the process, and exactly why we're running a special for all the resolutions that need a little help!

If you're someone who likes to bench press, are a swimmer, or played any sort of overhead sport, then odds are you have had shoulder pain at some point.

This is a normal occurance, and instead of doing the old-school move of resting, coming back, have it hurt again, repeat, try strengthening the structures around the shoulder instead!

A floor press is a great option that normally helps someone still do a pushing movement without as much shoulder irritability.

The biceps tendon is a common source of symptoms in the front of the shoulder, so slow eccentric curls, and a banded isometric are a great way of loading that tendon without recreating the typical irrigation we get with pressing movements.

If you're experiencing shoulder pain, give these a try, but if you need a closer look, give us a call. We'd be happy to check it out and give you a more formalized plan.

We have your back!

The Resolution Rescue is here. In the month of Feb, your re-entry visit is $125 (prior patients) and all programs are 10% off for you.

Let's get 2026 rolling!

Effects of high frequency strengthening on pain sensitivity and function in female runners with chronic patellofemoral pain

If you’ve ever had knee pain, this study is for you. Patellofemoral (knee) pain is the most common injury runners report, and female runners are 2x more likely than males to develop it. It usually occurs in 1 in 3 runners annually, and it can become a chronic issue for up to 90% of runners. All that to say, finding ways to treat patellofemoral pain is a top priority to help our runners stay on the track, trail, route.

Authors looked at the effects of a 2x per day strength program in 30 female runners over a span of 8 weeks. The exercise program was made up of non-weightbearing exercises (likely with a machine, laying down movements). One of the limitations of the study is that they don’t outline the exact exercises, sets, nor reps.

Results included finding that there were significant improvements in average and worse pain at 8 and 12 weeks following the start of the program, as well as in other outcome measures like the Anterior knee pain scale and the University of Wisconsin Running injury and recovery index (UWRI). Authors also found significant improvements in strength in bilateral quads and hip extensors, as well as the hip abductors on the painful side.

What can we take away?

Due to some major limitations in this study, we can’t extrapolate much information about specific movements, to all ages, nor all genders. However, we can have confidence that strengthening muscles that act on the knees and hip can help with reducing patellofemoral pain.

This study provides confidence that perhaps more frequency of exercise and shorter exercise bouts can be effective for addressing knee pain.
