Meet Ethan Thompson, PT, DPT — and one of the main reasons MYOMUV is what it is.

Ethan graduated from Washington University in St. Louis.

He’s certified in dry needling, passionate about treating the whole person, and has a particular soft spot for cyclists dealing with back pain.

But here’s what actually makes Ethan different:

He’s been there himself. He’s dealt with back pain. He’s done the work he asks his patients to do. And he shows up every single day to help people get back to the lifestyle they love….not just the pain-free version of themselves, but the version that’s strong, capable, and fully alive.

When he’s not in the clinic you’ll find him on his road bike, outdoors with his wife and daughter, or somewhere across the world : 13 countries and counting. 🌍

We’re lucky to have him. And so are our patients.

You ARE treating where it hurts. But you may not be treating WHY it hurts.

PF Pain — the knee isn’t the problem. Treat the hip and foot.
Patellar Tendon — decrease jumping. Long duration, low load isos are your best friend early and often. Meniscus — restore full knee extension first. Nothing else will work until you get it back.
IT Band — stretching is NOT the solution.
Pes Anserine — the outside hip needs attention.

The pattern? Most knee pain isn’t actually a knee problem.
It’s an overuse problem. Either because other areas globally aren’t helping the knee out, or the stress you’re applying to that tissue is simply too much right now. So it’s more of a recovery problem.

Stop treating the symptom. Start treating the system that caused the symptom. Need help figuring that out? You know what to do.

Most people know where it hurts…. but have no idea what structure is actually causing the pain.

And that distinction matters more than most people realize, because PF pain, IT band, meniscus, patellar tendon, and pes anserine all have completely different solutions.

Throwing ice on it, resting, and hoping for the best isn’t a plan. Know what you’re dealing with first and then attack it. Most people let knee pain dictate their training for wayyyyy too long. We find quick relief happens when we treat the right things EARLY.

Part 2 is coming and we’re giving you one key consideration for each. Don’t miss it.

We show up for U every single time. Without U, we don’t exist. So if you want someone to go to battle for your goals…. We should talk.

Most people have tried the thing that didn’t work. And if it actually worked, they wouldn’t feel convicted reading this post.

The stretch. The rest. The correctives. The gadgets.

They’re not back here because they didn’t try hard enough.

They’re back here because nobody actually watched them move. Nobody watched them squat big weight when squatting big weight hurts. Nobody watched them change directions when playing pickleball is what hurts. Nobody watched them pull their chest to the bar when pull-ups hurt. Nobody watched them deadlift after doing burpees when CrossFit class is what hurts.

Nobody built a plan around what they were trying to get back to. They weren’t trying to get back to just being pain free. They were trying to get back to being confident with their activity and being able to trust their body again.

Nobody had the right system to actually solve their problem (hint: ITS NOT PAIN). The system IS NOT built for them.

That’s the only thing we do differently. And it changes everything.

We’ve worked with hundreds of active adults in the Upstate.

Runners. Pickleballers. CrossFitters. Hikers. People who built their life around movement and refuse to give it up.

And the ones who come to us after years of the pain-rest-hurt-repeat cycle all have one thing in common.

Nobody ever actually watched them move.

Not under load. Not at the speed their sport demands. Not while doing the specific thing that hurts.

They got ten minutes and a sheet of generic exercises. They were told to rest. And when the pain came back…

because it always came back….

the message was clear: t

This is just your life now.
Or
Stop doing that activity.

They always feel like they didn’t DO ENOUGH of something.

It isn’t.

The reason PT didn’t work isn’t your age. It isn’t your genetics. It isn’t that you didn’t try hard enough.

It’s that the assessment never found the real problem.

So if you want to know what the REAL problem is, let’s start a conversation.

You’ve started planning your week around how your body feels. It’s messing with your plans, your sleep, your peace, your mood, your energy, and your identity.

You modify workouts you used to do without thinking. You sit out the pickleball game. You skip the Saturday hike. You tell yourself this is just what getting older feels like.
But deep down you know something is off.

Not because you’re weak. Not because you didn’t try hard enough. Not because you’ve done anything wrong.
Because nobody has ever actually figured out why you hurt.

The pain you’ve normalized isn’t normal. And the fact that treatment hasn’t worked yet doesn’t mean treatment can’t work.

It means you haven’t had the right assessment.

3 mistakes I see every week with the barbell RDL ….and why they matter more than you think.

The RDL is one of the best exercises for building posterior chain strength, protecting your lower back, and staying pain-free doing the things you love. Lengthening the hamstrings under load is one of the fastest ways to solve “tightness” in the hammies.

But done wrong? It becomes the reason you’re in our office.

Here’s what I see most often:

1. Turning it into a squat. If your knees are bending significantly and your torso is staying upright… you’re squatting, not hinging. The RDL is a hip-dominant movement. Soft bend in the knees, then push your hips back. Your chest goes toward the floor, not your knees toward the ceiling.

2. Rounding through the lumbar spine. You’re loading your discs, not your hamstrings. The hinge happens at your hips…. your spine stays neutral the entire way down. If your lower back is doing the work, your hamstrings aren’t.

3. Letting the bar drift away from the body. The bar should drag your legs on the way down. The moment it swings forward, your lower back takes over and has to work even harder. Keep it close. Every rep.

Fix these three things and the RDL becomes one of the most powerful tools in your training for BOTH performance and longevity.

💾 Save this before your next leg day.

It’s always been fascinating to me to see how much value people place on movement, health, and wellness. Taking care of your body is essential to any lifestyle, and after all; we only get one to work with. In today’s culture we have unlimited access to knowledge and content at our fingertips. There are endless options so it becomes to difficult to know who to see or what direction to go if you have pain or movement limitations. Do I have surgery? Do I rest? Do I seek chiropractic care? Do I see this physical therapist? Do I try massage therapy?

Myomuv is here to make sense of those questions. We have a proven system, free of traditional healthcare disruption and limitations, to optimize your movement. Over the last two years, 126 others have believed in us. Which feels me with an overwhelming since of gratitude.

This graceful pursuit of a superior self: emotionally, physically, and spiritually; is a powerful driving force. We seek to leverage our platform and system to deliver a experience unlike any other. We want to build a community and brand that inspires through each interaction and encounter. Movement is the messenger through which that vision occurs.

I believe people buy more of WHY you do what you as opposed to the WHAT you do part. This platform allows me to connect with others’ struggles and stresses on life, training, athletic performance, and fitness. By delivering quality care and empowering others to redefine whatever it is that may be a limiting factor in their movement journey.
