🛞 Injections = the spare tire 🛞
They might get you down the road…
but you’re not cruising at full speed.

For degenerative shoulder pain (rotator cuff, tendinopathy, OA):
💉 Injections can reduce pain short-term
⏱️ They don’t rebuild tendon or restore strength
❌ They don’t fix why the shoulder broke down in the first place

What does change the long game?
🏋️‍♂️ Progressive loading
🧠 Targeted motor control
🔁 Gradual return to real movement

If pain relief helps you start rehab? Cool.
If it replaces rehab? You’re driving on a donut forever.

Our goal isn’t just “less pain.”
It’s getting you back to lifting, throwing, working, and living at full speed 🚀

💪

🔥 EPIC Friday 🔥
24 miles. Door to door. 🏃‍♂️💥

The hard truth:
That’s just loop 1 of any ultra I want to run.
Breaking through the marathon barrier is only the beginning.
The real work lives in the upper miles.

January 2. Epic Friday.
Choosing hard on purpose.

Doing hard things makes us better.
It sharpens the mind. Strengthens the body. Builds belief.
This is what the Epic Stuff series is about.

Show up. Push past comfortable.
Go find your next loop. 🚀🔥

2025= monotony
2026= probably more of the same!!!

“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at the stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split into two, and I know it was not that blow that did it-but all that had gone before it”
James Clear, Atomic Habits

Keep chiseling away!
Happy New Year Everyone!!

This is what “research” looks like at the clinic 😅📚

A little nerding out 🤓 with a very clear plan 🧠
MRI shows a degenerative rotator cuff tear (~0.5 x 0.5 inch) 🦾
No—this doesn’t automatically mean surgery or shutting things down ❌🔪

We’re treating the rotator cuff with SoftWave technology ⚡️ and targeted exercise 🏋️‍♂️ to improve tissue health, strength, and real-world function 🔄💪

🔥 EPIC STUFF 🔥
15.5 miles on the trail today.
Felt good… especially the second half.

Ran into my buddy Kyle Larson out riding and without hesitation he says:
👉 “There are two runners ahead of you. Go catch them.” And then he rode off…

That hit home!!! There are always people ahead of you.!!!
The mindset is simple: chase them down!
On the trail. In training. In life.

That way of thinking never turns off. I love it.

PSA: Trail running pro tip 🤣
Be aggressive with your goals…
🚫 just not with snot rockets unless you want a surprise nosebleed 🤧🩸

Go do epic stuff. 💥

Increase mileage without breaking down. 🏃‍♂️💪
Running more isn’t the answer—recovering smarter is.
After long run days, I use active recovery and train non-running muscle groups so my legs can adapt while strength builds elsewhere.
Stack the work. Stay durable. Do epic stuff.

PS- I do what I know! No need to get fancy with your lifting routine! Despite what influencers say!!!

POST-CHRISTMAS EPIC STUFF 🎄➡️🔥

20 miles on the legs.
8.36 miles up to Bootleg Canyon ⛰️
Up. Over.
And dropped into Henderson 😎

No pressure.
No race.
Just movement, miles, and gratitude 🙏

This is what celebrating looks like.
Earn the cookies 🍪
Clear the head 🧠
Build the engine ❤️‍🔥

You don’t need to go 20 miles —
you just need to go somewhere.

Lace up.
Get outside.
Do Epic Stuff. 🚀

EPIC STUFF ISN’T ALWAYS EPIC 😅

They came in frustrated.
Injured.
Already knowing what we’d say…

“Yeah… you’re going to need to get stronger.” 🏋️‍♂️

Not sexy.
Not exciting.
But it’s part of the process. ⚙️

Injury is inevitable.
Staying weak is optional.

Do the work at home 🏠
In the garage 🛠️
In the gym 🏋️

So you can keep running.
Keep lifting.
Keep chasing hard things. 🏃‍♂️🔥

Rehab isn’t the end —
it’s the bridge back to Epic Stuff. 🚀

Knee OA ≠ Stop Moving 🚫🛑

She was told her options were:
💉 injections
🔪 surgery
🛋️ stop being active

She didn’t love those options…
so she chose a different one 😏

➡️ Strength
➡️ Range of motion
➡️ Smart loading

Back in the gym.
Squatting.
Lunging.
Moving with confidence 🏋️‍♀️🔥

Arthritis isn’t a life sentence.
Movement is medicine. 💊➡️🏃‍♀️

This is how we do knees at the Movement Lab.
Do Epic Stuff. 🚀

Quick video.
Run done. 🏃‍♂️

5 days.
5 miles or more each day. ✅

Feeling strong.
Feeling good. 💪

That’s progress.
That’s an epic week. 🚀

You don’t need perfection —
you need consistency.

Show up.
Put the work in.
Do Epic Stuff. 🔥

WIN THE DAY 🏁🔥

I haven’t posted Epic Stuff this week…
that doesn’t mean I stopped running 🏃‍♂️

It just means the work still got done
when no one was watching 👀💪

Winning the day isn’t about posting it 📱
It’s about doing one thing today
you wouldn’t have done yesterday ⚡️

Run when you don’t feel like it 🥵
Train when motivation is low 🏋️‍♂️
Choose discipline over comfort 🧠➡️❤️‍🔥

Do that long enough…
you don’t just win days —
you become a different person 🚀

Do Epic Stuff. 🔥

Smart rehab. Real progress. 💪🧠

This shoulder has degenerative rotator cuff dysfunction with a weak external rotator — so we didn’t just “strengthen it.”
We re-taught it how to work.

👉 Neuro-reeducation + stimulation during side-lying external rotation helps wake up the muscle, improve timing, and reinforce the correct firing pattern.
When the brain and muscle reconnect, strength actually sticks.

Why this matters 👇
• Better muscle activation
• Less compensation from bigger muscles
• Stronger, more controlled rotation
• More confidence with overhead movement

You can’t load a muscle that isn’t showing up.
First we restore the signal — then we build strength.
