The Power Lab Clinic! 💪 at Basecamp Fitness Bellingham on Saturday Feb 28th!

We can’t wait to show you how we use VALD technology to take your athletic performance to the next level.

Performance starts with balance and this is a great intro workshop. Using advanced VALD testing systems, we measure strength, power, and movement patterns to see how symmetrical your body is from side to side. The good news? Once we identify them, we can help you target them. Come learn how Vald works!

Grateful for the opportunity to present at the FDM Summit this weekend on:

From Instability to Resilience — how FDM, objective data, and progressive loading are reshaping shoulder rehab for overhead athletes.

I truly wished I could be there in Phoenix with the incredible community of certified international practitioners and instructors who continue to push this profession forward.

Running a busy clinic made travel tough, and in the end my asthma and being sick had other plans — so it was the right call to stay home and present remotely.

Huge thank you to Dr. Jen Ribar for making the Zoom delivery seamless and for supporting the process behind the scenes.

I stayed on time, shared the systems we use at Praxis, and I hope the material helps clinicians feel more confident bridging manual therapy to performance and return to sport.

Proud to contribute.
Proud of this community.
Always learning.

When our first responders need care, we show up.

Proud to help Patrick get back to work, pain-free and stronger than ever.

Inspired by another post on healing times of other tissues: muscle, tendon, ligaments and bones. What about fascia? I took a deep dive on some studies. Robert Schleip and associates had some promising studies and more. Fascia injuries heal slower than muscle because they’re collagen-dense and low-blood supply.

Most recover in 3–12 weeks depending on location and severity.

Plantar fascia, hamstrings, quads, back, and rotator cuff all follow this rule:
✔️ LOAD matters
✔️ PROGRESSION matters
✔️ rushing it back doesn’t

💥 Hamstring injuries are one of the most common setbacks in sport — and returning too soon can put you right back where you started

From what actually causes strains, to how rehab should progress, to the keys to getting back to sport safely, we break it all down.

If you’ve battled a pulled hamstring or want to prevent one, this is your go-to guide.

We stand in solidarity with other small businesses supporting the ICE OUT movement and with the communities we serve.

I am an immigrant myself, and I am proud to continue helping people improve their health, fitness, and quality of life through physical therapy.

We also support other businesses — especially those owned by immigrants like myself — who are showing up for their communities with courage and compassion.

Our doors remain open to anyone who needs care.
We believe in dignity, access to healthcare, and respect for all people.

This clinic exists to help people heal — and that includes creating a space where everyone feels safe and supported.

We will continue to show up for our patients.

Skills training at Praxis Physical Therapy

Today we worked on shoulder manual therapy using the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) and ForceDecks testing, with Landon learning how to perform testing and review the data.

Training focused on:
• Palpation and tissue differentiation
• Shoulder mechanics and common pain patterns
• ForceDecks testing for performance and return-to-sport measures
• Clinical reasoning and technique application

This type of skills training helps ensure consistency in our evaluations and treatment approaches and supports more informed rehabilitation and return-to-sport planning.
