Steve came in dealing with sciatica that kept dictating his day. Sitting hurt. Moving felt unpredictable. He was tired of stretching, resting, and hoping it would magically go away.

Instead of chasing symptoms, we used the Gray Method™ to find the real cause of the problem.

Once we identified what was actually driving the pain, everything changed.

✅ Pain started decreasing
✅ Movement became easier
✅ Confidence came back
✅ He got his life back

Sciatica is often treated like the problem itself. Many times, it’s a signal that something deeper needs to be addressed.

That’s why random exercises and temporary fixes so often fail.

Steve didn’t need more guessing. He needed clarity, a plan, and the right treatment.

If pain is running your life, the next step may not be “more rest” — it may be finding the real cause.

If pelvic pain shows up during workouts or movement, a hidden hip muscle may be the reason.

Pelvic pain during contraction, exercise, or even everyday movement may not be “just tight muscles.” One often-overlooked cause is a high-tone or overactive obturator internus muscle — a deep hip/pelvic muscle that can create pain, tension, and dysfunction when it isn’t relaxing properly.

This can show up as:
• Pain with exercise or lifting
• Discomfort during intimacy
• Hip or deep glute pain
• Pelvic heaviness or pressure
• Trouble fully relaxing the pelvic floor

Many people are told to just stretch more or “do Kegels,” but if the issue is excess tension, that may not solve the root cause.

The good news: with the right pelvic health assessment, we can identify what’s driving the pain and create a plan to restore balance, movement, and confidence.

You don’t have to live with pelvic pain. There are answers.

🎥 Inside Look: Rotator Cuff Treatment in Action

Ever wonder what actually goes into fixing shoulder pain… instead of just “working around it”?

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at one of our patients receiving dry needling for a partial rotator cuff tear.

This isn’t just about poking a needle into the muscle…

It’s about targeting the exact areas that are limiting healing and keeping that shoulder from functioning the way it should.

So what does dry needling actually do?

• Helps reduce pain by calming down irritated muscle tissue
• Improves blood flow to the injured area (which speeds up healing)
• Releases tight or overactive muscles that are pulling on the shoulder
• Restores better movement so exercises actually work

Because here’s the truth…

Most rotator cuff issues don’t heal properly because the surrounding muscles stay tight, weak, or dysfunctional.

And if you don’t fix that…

You stay stuck in the cycle of pain → rest → temporary relief → pain again.

This is how we break that cycle.

At Back In Motion, we use tools like dry needling as part of a bigger plan…

So we’re not just treating symptoms — we’re fixing the cause.

Which means you can get back to lifting, reaching, and moving without constantly thinking about your shoulder.

If you’ve been dealing with shoulder pain and feel like nothing has fully fixed it yet…

Send us a message or comment “SHOULDER” and we’ll point you in the right direction.

How strong are your hamstrings… really?

Most people train quads.
Some people train glutes.
Very few people truly train their hamstrings.

And that’s a problem — because your hamstrings are one of the biggest keys to:
• Preventing knee pain
• Protecting your lower back
• Improving sprint speed
• Building stronger glutes
• Reducing risk of strains and pulls

The Nordic Hamstring Curl is one of the toughest — and most effective — exercises you can do. It builds real strength where most people are weakest: controlling your body as your hamstrings lengthen.

That’s exactly what protects you during:
Running
Sports
Lifting
Even everyday movements

It’s not easy… but that’s the point.

Strong hamstrings don’t just help performance — they keep you moving, feeling strong, and staying injury-free.

So… how strong are your hamstrings?

Throwback Thursday… Back when Back In Motion was just getting started (and so were our calves).

These photos are from 2018 — our first local running event when Back In Motion was brand new. No big team. No big facility. Just Dr. Scott, Ashley, a folding table… and a lot of excitement (and probably a little nervous energy too).

We remember showing up early, setting everything up, and wondering…
“Will anyone even stop by?”

Meanwhile, Ashley was keeping everything organized…
Scott was pretending he was “warming up” but really just trying not to pull a hamstring before the race even started.

Back then:
• One small table
• A few flyers
• A couple of water bottles
• Big dreams

Now… it’s wild to see how far things have come. But the mission is still the same — helping people stay active, strong, and doing what they love.

Also… let’s be honest…
Scott thought he was still in his college football shape.
Ashley knew better.

Good news — we both survived the race.
Better news — Back In Motion survived too.

Sometimes it’s fun to look back and remember where it all started.

She came in saying the same thing we hear all the time…

“I think it’s my sciatica.”

Pain down the leg.
Tightness.
Hard to sit.
Hard to stand.
Not feeling like herself.

AJ just wanted to get back to being her again.
Walking without thinking about it.
Moving without guarding.
Feeling confident in her body.

But when we evaluated her using The Gray Method, something important showed up…

It wasn’t actually sciatica.

Her symptoms were coming from her SI joint — not her back, not a disc, and not the nerve everyone assumed.

Once we fixed the real problem:
• Her movement improved
• The pressure on the nerve settled down
• Her confidence came back
• And most importantly… she started feeling like herself again

That’s the difference when you fix the cause instead of chasing symptoms.

Too often people are told:
“It’s sciatica.”
“Just stretch.”
“Rest it.”
“Live with it.”

But when you identify the true source — everything changes.

AJ isn’t just feeling better…
She’s back to being her.

Patti has always been a runner.
That was her thing.

Miles, consistency, staying active… she did it all.

But like many runners, strength training wasn’t really part of the plan.

Over time, she started noticing a few things:
• She didn’t feel as strong as she used to
• Her balance wasn’t as steady
• Her energy wasn’t the same
• Running alone wasn’t giving her everything she needed anymore

That’s when she decided to add fitness training at Back In Motion.

Instead of just logging miles, Patti started building strength, improving stability, and training in a way that supported her running — not replaced it.

Now she’s noticing:
• More energy throughout the day
• Improved strength
• Better balance and stability
• Feeling more confident in how she moves
• A stronger body to support her running

She didn’t stop being a runner.
She just became a stronger one.

Listen to Patti’s story.

Real treatment. Real movement. Real results.

In this video, Dr. Scott is working with a patient in real time using hands-on manual therapy to improve how her neck moves.

The goal isn’t just to “loosen things up.”
It’s to restore optimal movement so her body can actually use that mobility the right way.

Because when the neck doesn’t move well:
• Other areas compensate
• Muscles fire incorrectly
• Forward head posture (FHP) gets worse
• Pain and stiffness keep coming back

By improving joint mobility first, we create the opportunity to:
• Retain better neck movement
• Reduce forward head posture
• Turn on the right stabilizing muscles
• Improve control and posture
• Decrease strain on the neck and shoulders

This is the difference between chasing symptoms…
and fixing the cause.

Watch how Dr. Scott restores motion — and then teaches the body how to keep it.

Our Story

Hi! My name is Dr. Scott Gray and I’m a Specialty Trained Physical Therapist that helps athletes and those suffering from back and neck pain overcome or ease their pain naturally so they can feel normal again. I was just like you... I suffered through injury-after-injury as a collegiate football player. One injury lead to another, which eventually required four different surgeries. I became tired, frustrated, and sick of becoming reliant on passive treatments, told to rest, and refusing to taken another painkiller just to get through practice or through the day. Can you relate? So one day I had an EPIPHANY... I thought to myself what if all my physicians and sports medicine staff are just treating my symptoms and perhaps something else in my body is causing my injuries? So what I have done is traveled across the globe spending over $200K of my own money to learn as much as I could about sport, back, and neck injuries. The end result being the creation of my own method on research and practical experience called the "GRAY METHOD" – a systematic and revolutionary form of treatment that addresses pain naturally through a full body approach. In essence... It treats the true CAUSE as to why your suffering from an injury rather than just the SYMPTOMS, unlike what I had gone through.
