17 years ago you changed everything.

You came in quietly and just got to work, on the field, in the classroom, in life. Multiple jobs, volunteer hours, a heart that actually cares about people. At 17. We don’t take that for granted for a single second.

Today we are doing what we do best, headed somewhere for soccer. And honestly, there is nowhere I would rather be. Watching you play the game you love is one of my favorite things in this world.

We are so proud of the young man you are becoming. Not just the player, not just the student, the person. That is the part that means the most.

Happy 17th. We love you more than you know. 💙⚽

I was at the beach a couple weeks ago and somehow ended up doing lateral walks in the sand. It is just what happens when you spend 21 years thinking about how people move.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Here is the thing though. Walking sideways is one of the simplest and most underused moves for people dealing with low back pain and hip tightness. The sand adds just enough resistance to make your glutes actually have to work. No band required.

Weak hips are one of the most common things I find when someone comes in with back pain that will not go away. The back is usually not the problem. It is doing someone else’s job.

So yes, I was technically on vacation. But if you happened to walk by me at the Outer Banks, now you know what I was doing and why.

Save this one for your next beach trip.

That’s my son. He’s been juggling since he could barely stand. And even now, I’m not watching the ball. I’m watching his hip. His landing. Which ankle he favors when he gets tired.

Twenty-one years of treating athletes will do that to you.

The thing is, most injuries don’t come out of nowhere. There are signs long before something breaks down. A subtle shift. A compensation pattern. A strength gap nobody tested.

That’s what we look for at CD PT. Not just where it hurts. What’s actually driving it.

If your athlete has had the same nagging issue that won’t fully go away, that’s usually a sign something upstream hasn’t been addressed.

Save this. And if that sounds familiar, link in bio or text us at 984-257-0034.

Holly Springs just got a gym worth talking about.

Access Fitness just opened at Oak View Plaza and I had the chance to tour the facility with before the doors even opened to the public. I love when local businesses bring something genuinely useful to this community and this one checks a lot of boxes.

They are a 24-hour gym, which means your schedule does not have to work around their hours. Early morning lifters, late night trainers, busy parents, and athletes with practice-packed evenings finally have a real option.

But here is the part I was most excited about. They are offering recovery services too. Red light sauna. Cold plunge. You all know I talk about red light therapy constantly because I use it clinically and I believe in what it does. Having access to that in a gym setting here in Holly Springs is a big deal.

If you are looking for a new home gym or a place that actually invests in recovery, go check them out. Reach out to directly and tell them Eli and Courtney sent you.

Meloq EasyBase force plates are officially in the building.

Two independent plates. One under each foot. Real-time data on jump height, force output, landing mechanics, and left-to-right asymmetry. Things your eye cannot see and that most clinics never test for.

This is how we catch the compensation patterns that lead to injuries. This is how we make return-to-sport decisions with data instead of guesswork. And this is how we track your athlete’s progress in a way that is actually objective.

More testing videos coming soon. Stay tuned.

Your kid’s ankle “sprain” is costing them more than you think.

Every time I see a young athlete limp off the field, I start thinking about the ankle. But not in the way you’d expect.

The ankle is the first thing that hits the ground. It absorbs force from every step, every cut, every plant and shoot. When it isn’t moving the way it should, the knee compensates. The hip compensates. The low back compensates. That’s how one old ankle sprain turns into a knee that won’t stop aching six months later.

I see this in my clinic every single week. An athlete comes in for something totally unrelated and I test their ankle mobility. It’s stiff. Been stiff for years. Nobody ever addressed it because the pain went away. But the compensation pattern never did.

Ankle function matters in sport. Not just for the ankle. For the entire chain above it.
If your athlete has had a sprain that “healed” and they still don’t feel 100%, there is probably a reason. Save this and book a session. We will find it.

What you’re seeing: applied to the posterior knee and proximal hamstring, with red light therapy running underneath at the same time.

The back of the knee is where hamstring tendons insert, where the popliteus sits, and where a lot of athletes carry tightness they don’t even realize is driving their pain. Soccer players, runners, and track athletes especially.
Graston breaks down the adhesions and scar tissue in that tissue. The red light underneath is delivering both 660nm and 810-850nm wavelengths to support healing at the surface and in the deeper structures simultaneously.

If your athlete has been dealing with posterior knee tightness, hamstring pulls that keep coming back, or pain that lingers after games, this combination is often exactly what’s been missing.

We have openings next week. Book through the link in my bio.
