Made 2 Move Physical Therapy

Why are people being taught that MOVEMENT is something to avoid and protect yourself from?

When you take movement away from someone, you don’t just take their workouts.

You’re taking their stress relief, their confidence, their joy, their community, their identity, and the thing that actually improves our health, builds resilience, and decreases pain.

I realized the system was broken and I knew I had to do something different.

A little tough love for ya...

Writing goals down is the easy part.

The hard part is choosing the actions that actually move the needle AND sticking with them long enough to see results. That's why most people don't reach their goals.

Lucky for you, I wrote a blog breaking down the 3 most common reasons goals don't get met and what you should do INSTEAD this year.

Writing goals down is the easy part. The hard part is choosing the actions that actually move the needle — and sticking with them long enough.

Contrary to popular social media belief, you don’t need to spend precious workout time doing 10 different banded movements and “activation drills” and foam rolling into oblivion.

The best way to approach a warm up is to prepare your body for what you’re about to do BY:

- Doing an easier version of the movement you’re about to do
- Using accessory movements if they help you access the position required for your lift
- progressing your lifts slowly over time (the actual best way to “prevent injuries”)

Simple AND effective ✅

Last week we talked about why pickleball is not the problem. The real issue is going from very little activity to playing four or five times a week without giving your body time to catch up.

This week, we're getting into the part everyone actually wants to know: what to do about it.

If you want to stay on the court, feel better, and avoid the classic pickleball aches and pains, your body needs to be prepared for the demands of the sport. Deceleration, change of direction, lateral movement, upper body strength, grip strength, rotational power. All of that matters more than people realize.

In this blog, I share some of my favorite exercises for pickleball players on Daniel Island and in Mount Pleasant. You do not need to do them all. Pick one to three, start slow, and build from there. The goal is simple. Increase your capacity so the stress of pickleball does not exceed what your body can handle.

The fix is not to stop playing. The fix is to build capacity.

Pickleball isn’t hurting people. Being unprepared is. Here’s why so many Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant players get aches and pains - and what to do so you can play more, not less.

Tennis elbow or tendon pain won’t be solved with rest, ice, stretching, or dry needling.

Those things might help the SYMPTOMS but they don’t solve the underlying causes

And that’s why you’ve been dealing with this ish for months without full improvement

(and tbh that’s why most physical therapy doesn’t work. The approach is all wrong)

The solution is to gradually place MORE stress on the tendon - that’s the only way it will adapt, get stronger, and feel better.

There’s been a lot of noise lately about how “pickleball is dangerous” and “pickleball injuries are out of control.”

Let’s zoom out for a second.

Pickleball is not the problem.

The real problem is that a lot of people are mostly sedentary for years… then fall in love with a new sport, play 5–6 days a week, and their body is like, “Hey, we were not prepared for this.”

That doesn’t mean pickleball is bad. It means your baseline capacity was low.

In this new blog, I talk about:

Why more movement is almost always the answer

How headlines blaming pickleball completely miss the point

Why I’d rather see someone risk a sports injury than a lifetime of chronic disease from being inactive

How to ramp up your playing time so your body can actually adapt

What to do if your “Sally” gets told to just stop playing

If you’re new to pickleball (or back at it after a long break), this will give you a much healthier way to think about the aches, pains, and “is this bad for me?” questions.

not dissing vision boards — they are fun and CAN be useful but goals are not met without ACTIONS.

If you’re upset about not meeting certain goals this year, did you take action? Did you take the right actions? Did you take them consistently enough and for long enough?
