How do you know when youโ€™re ready for return to running? Here are a few tests we use with our patients to determine if they are safe to return:

๐Ÿƒ Long Lever Bridge: Looking to maintain 30 seconds with a straight trunk position and hip extended

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Calf Raise: Looking for a full calf raise 1 per second
Age: 20-30 yo: 35+ reps; 30-40 yo: 30+ reps; 40-50 yo: 25+ reps

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Lateral Step Down: Looking at hip stability, ability to load through the anterior knee, and ankle dorsiflexion mobility

๐Ÿƒ Bulgarian Split Squat: Looking at whether you can maintain good hip/knee/ankle alignment, a hip vs. quad dominant pattern, and balance

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ 1 Leg Hop: Looking for tolerance of single leg loading, hip and trunk stability, calf fatigue, and if there is asymmetry between sides

Do you feel tight after sitting at a desk working all day?

Do yourself a favor and hit these 4 moves when you close down your computer/laptop.

1) Open books - helps to open up your chest and shoulders as well as upper back (x 10 reps per side)

2) Seated thoracic extensions - helps to open up your chest, shoulders, and neck (x 10 reps)

3) Butterfly bridges - reverse the tightness your hips and back feel from being flexed all day by opening them into extension (x 10-15 reps)

4) Standing prayer stretch - opens up the chest and shoulders as well as low back (x 10-15 reps)

Your body will thank you later!

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ From pain to the finish line.

A few months ago, running wasnโ€™t feeling great. Through a targeted rehab plan, strength work, and consistent training, Sandeep was able to toe the line for his first half marathonโ€”and finish it completely pain free.

This is what the right plan can do. Not just reducing pain, but helping you get back to doing the things you love.

If running is part of your life, your rehab should support that.

Congratulations to Sandeep on his first half marathon!

๐ŸคŽ Community Spotlight ๐Ÿ‹

is redefining group training by combining individualized programming, coach-led progress check-ins, and a strength-first training environment โ€” all within a supportive community setting.

Even better, their sliding-scale membership model helps make high-quality coaching more accessible so more people can train, grow, and stay consistent.

We love seeing spaces in our community that prioritize both connection and long-term health. ๐Ÿ‘

Nothing better than helping runners get back to doing what they love ๐Ÿƒ

After a nighttime fall left this athlete dealing with lingering ankle and knee pain, he came to see Doc Sam at Athletes Potential looking for real answers โ€” not just rest and hope. Through a detailed mobility assessment and a targeted strength plan, we addressed the true weak links and built him back up with purpose.

Three sessions. A clear plan. Pain resolved. Mobility restored. Back to running.

We love empowering our athletes with the tools and confidence to take ownership of their rehab โ€” not just treat symptoms, but fix the problem.

Grateful for the trust and the kind words. ๐Ÿ’™
