Some people get into fitness because they love training.
Max got into it because he loves people.

From Winston-Salem, North Carolina to coaching athletes and everyday humans across the country, Max’s journey has always been about helping others discover what they’re capable of.

After graduating from Appalachian State with a degree in Strength & Conditioning and a minor in Psychology, Max quickly realized that coaching wasn’t just about sets and reps. It was about connection, confidence and creating spaces where people feel supported enough to challenge themselves.

His coaching style is rooted in encouragement, empowerment, and meeting people exactly where they are. Whether someone is stepping into the gym for the first time, rebuilding after injury, or chasing a new level of strength, Max believes everyone deserves a coach who sees their potential.

Because for Max, strength training isn’t just about lifting heavier weights.
It’s about building confidence, resilience, and belief in yourself.

And when he’s not coaching?
You’ll probably find him hiking or camping with his girlfriend Jasmine and their dogs Otis, Pudge, and Baker… throwing a round of disc golf… rocking a pair of very cool socks… or rewatching The Lord of the Rings for the hundredth time.

Because community, adventure, and growth—those are the things that fuel him.

And that’s exactly the energy he brings to every person he coaches.

For 20 years, Oceanside has supported people through pregnancy and postpartum.

We’ve seen and lived the gaps.
And we know how hard it still is to get support when you need it most.

Even though the world is finally paying attention to postpartum care, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵, care after delivery is still not easy or accessible.

Not when you’re exhausted.
Not when you’re healing.
Not when even leaving the house feels impossible.

Your body is closing internal wounds.
Your tissues are repairing.
Your core + pelvic floor are rewiring.
Your hormones are shifting daily.
Your nervous system is trying to find safety again.
Your identity is changing.

Meet Erin Johnas, PT, DPT ✨

I’m deeply inspired by seasons — both the literal ones here in New England and the seasons of life. The shifts, the growth, the quiet, the rebuilding. Our bodies move through seasons too, and honoring that feels important.

As a clinician, I blend hands-on work, movement, dry needling, and education through a whole-body lens. I want my patients to feel supported and truly understood — not just treated. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strength, your breath, and your confidence in what your body can do.

Outside the clinic, I’m usually outside with my family — skiing with a toddler in tow, wandering in the woods, or dabbling in some very novice homesteading. Those grounding moments shape the way I practice and how I show up for the people I work with.

I believe the body is incredibly resilient and always communicating. When we learn to listen and respect its complexity, healing becomes not just possible — but something we can begin to expect.

If you’re looking for care that blends expertise, compassion, and a whole-body perspective, you’ll feel right at home with Erin. 🤍

I love thinking about the 4th trimester as a gift.

Not because it’s easy.
Not because it’s calm.
Not because you’re well-rested.

But because it gives you something our culture rarely allows:

Permission to slow down.
Permission to focus on what you need.
Not the “shoulds.”
Not the comparisons.
Not the pressure to bounce back.
Just the present.

Postpartum is one of the few times in life where your body is biologically primed to repair, reset, and rebuild.
Your tissues are healing.
Your nervous system is sensitive.
Your core and pelvic floor are recalibrating.
Your hormones are shifting daily.

This isn’t fragility.
It’s powerful healing.

And the way you support yourself during this window shapes your long-term strength, coordination, and resilience.

Healing is deeply connected to regulating your nervous system. Teaching your body and brain that you are not constantly under threat is the key. And here’s the beautiful part: every brain is different. What feels peaceful and restorative to one person may feel activating to another.

So keep experimenting. Try tiny “nuggets” of regulation until you find the 2–3 that become your personal go-to’s.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Eat breakfast without rushing

• Go outside and feel the sun on your skin

• Slow, intentional breathing

• Meditation or grounding moments

• Being in nature

• Gentle movement

• Humming, singing, or a long sigh

• Check in with all 5 senses (name 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste)

• Box breathing (4 inhale → 4 hold → 4 exhale → 4 hold)

• Warm beverage + notice the temperature

• Touch something with texture (blanket, stone, fabric)

• Smell something comforting (coffee, essential oils, fresh air)

• Listen to calming sounds or favorite music

• Visualization (imagine a safe place or calming scene)

• Organize or tidy a small space (one drawer, one counter)

• Journaling (mind dump, gratitude list, “3 things I can control today”)

• Cold splash on face or back of neck

Find what anchors your system. Your brain will show you what works when you give it options.

Men navigating prostate surgery or cancer deserve care that supports the whole journey- not just a pamphlet that tells them to do kegels.

At Oceanside Physical Therapy, we specialize in pelvic health and work with men every week who are preparing for or recovering from prostatectomy. Our approach focuses on:

💪 Pre-surgery preparation
Understanding your pelvic floor and improving mobility sets the stage for better post-op recovery. Most people have no idea what a kegel actually is—and many aren’t doing it correctly. We teach you how your pelvic floor really works and how to use it effectively before and after surgery.

🚻 Bladder health & continence support
Knowing what “normal” bladder habits look like makes recovery less stressful. We guide you through every stage with clear, evidence-based steps.

🧠 Support through a challenging season
Prostate surgery can quietly impact a man’s sense of capability and purpose. Having providers who understand that, clinically and emotionally, matters.

🏋️ Rehab-based strength training with pelvic-savvy trainers
We offer integrated training through Tide Strength Studio, where our trainers understand pelvic floor mechanics, pressure management, and post-surgical limitations. Strength training helps men feel powerful again, and we coordinate closely with your PT to keep everything safe and progressive.

🔍 And a quick PSA on kegels:
Doing kegels is like doing bicep curls and hoping it makes you a better golfer, it’s only one piece of a much bigger system. Pelvic floor strength matters, but it only works when it coordinates with breath, pressure, hips, and core. Kegels alone (especially if done incorrectly) are almost never the full solution.

If you’re preparing for surgery, or already recovering, Oceanside is here to help you rebuild strength, confidence, and control with expert, compassionate care.

Don't wait until you are referred. This should be standard care, not just if your outcomes are suboptimal!

02/18/2026

For much of my career, I was trained to see the body through a structural orthopedic lens, identify the dysfunction, correct it, restore movement. That foundation still matters deeply to me. But life and the expansion to pelvic health expanded my understanding of healing in ways no textbook ever could.

As a diver and athlete, I learned early how the body adapts under pressure, how performance, breath, and focus are inseparable. Becoming a parent and experiencing childbirth showed me a different kind of strength and vulnerability. Moving through cancer and recovery deepened that awareness even further. In each season, I felt how the body holds our stress, our emotions, our resilience, and our capacity to rebuild. You can’t separate tissue from experience. The nervous system, our history, and our physical symptoms are intertwined.

Those experiences shifted my work. I began listening differently, to breath, to subtle rhythms, to how safety changes everything. I saw how powerful the body becomes when it feels supported rather than pushed. Healing isn’t just about fixing a part; it’s about regulating the system and honoring the whole story.

The body is remarkably resilient. When we respect its complexity and create the right conditions, it knows how to move toward health. My role is to help guide that process, with skill, intuition, and deep trust in what your body is capable of.

Let’s Take the Fear Out of Prolapse — Yes, We Said It

People are typically really scared when they hear this word. The reality is, most of those with 2 va**nal deliveries have some degree of prolapse. It is laxity. Think of it more like a sprained va**na, the tissues are overstretched, the support system is tired, and things feel a little “off.” You're not broken. You’re not alone. And it’s very manageable.

One simple tool that can help? A pessary.
If prolapse is like a sprain, then the pessary is the bracea , soft, silicone support that reduces pressure, helps you move with confidence, and even improves things like incontinence for many people.

And yes… your pelvic PT can help with this.
Cristin is now officially trained in pessary assessment, education, and support. That means we can:

Help you figure out if you actually have a prolapse

Teach you strategies to reduce pressure and symptoms

Support you before/after a pessary fitting

Help you get back to working out without fear

Build strength where it matters most

If you’re feeling heaviness, pressure, or just want to understand what’s going on “down there,” we’re here for you. No shame. No fear. No weirdness, just clear answers and real solutions.

✨ If you’re curious about pessaries or wondering if prolapse applies to you, reach out. We can help you feel like yourself again. 💙

When I opened in 2011, I was tired of a healthcare system that minimized symptoms and overlooked the pelvis... and women. So I built something different.

At Oceanside, we treat people, not body parts.
And since everybody has a pelvis, we truly see everyone, postpartum parents, athletes, perimenopause and menopause transitions, bladder/bowel dysfunction, pelvic pain, sexual health concerns, and anyone who’s been told “everything looks normal” but still doesn’t feel normal.

It’s all connected and it all matters.

With 15+ years in pelvic and orthopedic care, I combine manual therapy, movement, dry needling, and whole-person support to get to the root of dysfunction and help people return to what they love.

You deserve care that listens, connects, and empowers.
