Student Doctor House Turnover Day 🧹🏡✨

That means deep cleaning, getting everything fresh, and making sure the house is ready to welcome our next wonderful group of student doctors very soon 🙌

At Active Sports Therapy, we believe caring for people starts long before they ever step into a treatment room. That is why we place such a high value on creating an affordable, supportive housing option for our student doctors as they learn, grow, and serve alongside our team 💙

One of our greatest joys is mentoring the next generation of providers and showing them what it looks like to deliver thoughtful, high quality sports medicine, rehabilitation, and chiropractic care. We believe that investing in the future of this profession helps elevate the care our patients receive right now.

For our patients and families, that means a team that is always learning, always improving, and always committed to giving you our very best ❤️

We are proud of what we are building at Active Sports Therapy, and so grateful to be a trusted place for your chiropractic and sports therapy needs.

Ready to welcome the next group

Cassie and Dr. Jason spent this morning at Liberty Creek High School helping with mock interviews for their senior healthcare classes.

It was incredible to see these students show up dressed professionally, handle pressure, and share their “why” behind pursuing various roles in healthcare. We’ve had several Liberty Creek students rotate through Active Sports Therapy, and it’s been awesome to watch some of them choose a path toward chiropractic and rehab because of that experience.

Big shoutout to Melissa Baker and Scott Wietecha getting to see them crushing it at LCHS as well. We love opportunities like this to give back and support the next generation 💪

Year two with NSC is off to an incredible start.
We are proud to see Dr. Hulme continuing his role with Nashville SC for another season.
It is an incredible honor for Active Sports Therapy to support the medical team at the professional level.

Last night, Dr. Hulme was able to bring Dr. Jessica and Dr. Ryan to serve on the stretcher crew for Miami during the CONCACAF tournament. In the previous round, Dr. Jordan and Dr. Joel joined the stretcher crew for Ottawa to support Dr. Hulme.

It is a huge blessing to see NSC trust the team at Active Sports Therapy to serve at this level.

A big thank you to Rob, Dr. Sullivan, Luis, Jeff and B.J. for the continued support. Great leadership from the top down, and we are grateful to be a small part of it. ⚽️

At this stage, female athletes must rebuild more than muscle. We are restoring single leg strength, reactive stability, and planned cutting mechanics, but only once strength benchmarks are being met. That progression matters.

Today Jillian finished her primary strength work and moved into controlled return to practice drills. This phase is critical. It bridges the gap between rehab and real sport. It is where confidence is rebuilt under supervision and movement quality is refined.

Every step is tracked. Limb symmetry. Force production. Balance. Coordination. Nothing is left to guesswork.

If you are coming back from an ACL tear in Hendersonville, Tennessee, you deserve the same structured, performance driven process we use with elite soccer players. The safest and strongest return is built on data, progression, and precision.

This is how we protect the knee long term and prepare athletes to dominate again.

Rolling over in bed should not feel impossible.
Pregnancy changes the mechanics in ways most people never expect.
And even good cues can sometimes create the wrong movement pattern.

Back pain during pregnancy, especially when turning over in bed, can be brutal. Anna-Vija had been coached by her pelvic floor physical therapist on rollover techniques to reduce strain. She tried to follow those cues exactly, but even though the idea was solid, the way her body interpreted those cues created a completely different pattern. Instead of relief, it kept driving the same overuse pain in her low back.

This is where coaching matters. Here Dr. Jason is walking her through the exact strategy to avoid loading the irritated tissue when she turns. Pregnancy shifts posture, core engagement, and movement coordination, so even a small adjustment in technique can make a huge difference. 💪

When you know how to move around the irritated structures you protect the back, reduce symptoms, and sleep better with less pain. 🔥

If rolling over or getting out of bed feels painful during pregnancy, there is a reason, and with the right guidance it can feel better fast.

Jessica Brandenburg has been part of the AST family since 2017. She first came to us as a patient. Over the years she became a CTA, supporting and encouraging patients each day. Now in 2026 she returns as Dr. Jessica Brandenburg, DC, joining our provider team!

From patient, to team member, to doctor within the same community that helped shape her journey. We cannot wait to share more of her full story soon.

Pregnancy can change how your core feels almost instantly.
Pain during ab work is usually a recruitment issue, not a strength issue.
And the right technique can bring your normal muscle pattern back fast.

In this clip we are teaching Anna Vija how to reconnect with her abdominal muscles in a way that does not trigger the painful pattern she has been feeling lately. As the body changes, the core can lose its usual coordination which makes even familiar movements feel sharp or uncomfortable. Once we coached her through the correct technique she immediately felt the difference. It finally felt like normal abdominal muscles working again instead of pain. 💪 That is exactly what we want. Clean activation with no irritation. 🔥

Something you may not know is that sixteen years ago Active Sports Therapy built a large portion of its practice around pain and pregnancy. Dr. Jason was part of the era that focused heavily on triaging pregnancy related muscle, joint, and nerve pain through collaborative research between Logan University, Washington University, and the University of Knoxville. It remains the largest study ever done on pain in pregnancy. Those early years shaped how we support moms today.

Now with Dr. Jessica on our staff, who also has a huge passion for pregnancy related care, we expect to help even more moms in Hendersonville feel their best throughout every stage.
