Your Achilles feels 90% better. So you stop doing the exercises.

Three weeks later, it’s back.

Sound familiar?

Here’s what’s actually happening:

Tendons need 8-10 weeks minimum to heal. Not “until it stops hurting.” Actual tissue adaptation time.

When you overload a tendon, it develops microscopic tears. The tissue lays back down disorganized—weaker than before, even when the pain drops.

Most people bail at week 3-4 when it feels better. They’re maybe 30% through actual healing.

Then they’re shocked when it comes back.

“Feeling better” and “healed” are not the same thing.

If you’ve been stuck in the “it’s better… wait no it’s not” cycle, let’s map your actual plan and finish what you started.

Things we hear all the time: 🙉🙅‍♂️

“I need to get surgery again.”
“My knee will just never be as strong as my other one.”
“It’s genetic.”
“Once you tear your ACL, you’re never the same.”
“I just have bad knees.”

And almost every time, nobody has ever explained the actual reason their knee keeps giving out. 🤦‍♂️

When your knee caves inward during movement (running, jumping, squatting, cutting), your ACL and meniscus become the safety net. Do it enough times, and that net breaks.

The wild part? It’s one of the easiest things to fix:
→ Foot straight
→ Glutes engaged
→ Don’t let knee drift inside your second toe

This is basics 101. It’s taught in PT school. 📚 And yet we’ve had patient after patient come in after multiple surgeries who’ve never been told this.

If your knee keeps “giving out,” it’s probably not bad luck. It’s a pattern. And patterns can be fixed. 💪

Last Saturday we partnered with to host a running workshop. Fifteen runners, wearable sensors, and force portraits that show exactly what’s happening when you run. 🏃‍♀️

One runner scored a 99. The rest of us? We had some things to work on. 😅

1️⃣ This is Diego. He’s 17, just signed to run at Eastern Oregon, and a few months ago got bored at 4pm and (naturally) decided to do a 24-hour ultra starting at midnight. 48 miles. Because he was bored. His force portrait is about as clean as it gets.

2️⃣ And then there’s the rest of us. This is a solid runner with a performance score of 71, but there’s still room to improve. Most of us looked something like this.

3️⃣ Cadence matters. 🕰️This runner was at 148 steps per minute (the target is around 180). Lower cadence usually means longer strides, which means more braking with every step.

4️⃣ This one shows a hip mobility score of 34 on one side and 67 on the other. ⚖️ When one hip is that much tighter, your body compensates. Usually that means your back, knee, or Achilles starts picking up the slack.

5️⃣ See how much wider this force portrait is? That’s lateral movement, energy going sideways instead of forward. Usually means hip strength needs work.

6️⃣ The good news: these are patterns, not permanent problems. Almost everyone at the workshop needed a flavor of the same two things: hip flexor mobility and higher cadence.

We’re now using this tech in our running assessments. You get the force portrait (the picture of what’s happening), plus our eyes on your movement, plus a custom plan to actually fix what we find. The sensor is crazy cool. What we can do with it when paired with a running assessment is the part you can’t DIY.

That knee that flares up at mile 8.
The IT band that’s been “almost better” for six months.
The Achilles you’re just hoping doesn’t get worse.

You’ve tried rest. You’ve tried new shoes. You’ve Googled “hip strengthening for runners” more times than you’d admit.

Here’s what nobody’s told you: your body isn’t broken.

You have a movement pattern that’s creating compensation. And patterns can be fixed, but only if someone actually takes the time to find them.

That’s what this workshop is for.

Saturday, January 17th | 7:30am | Independence

Here’s what’s happening:

→ 7:30am Group run from Riverview Park (5K or longer, all paces welcome)
→ Coffee and hangs at the clinic while you catch your breath
→ 8:30am Individualized running assessment with Aletheia wearable tech (first 10 registered)
→ 9:00am Group movement session where you’ll feel the difference before you leave

This isn’t a lecture. It’s 20 runners, real gait analysis, and the “why” behind whatever keeps flaring up.

It’s free. But it’s limited to 20 people, and only the first 10 get the sensor assessment.

This is what a running assessment actually looks like.

Not 30 seconds on a treadmill and a printout of generic hip stretches. An actual deep dive into why your body keeps doing that thing it does at mile 6.

Maya watches. The Aletheia sensor captures every force. And you walk away knowing exactly where your mechanics break down and what to do about it.

We’re hosting a free running workshop on January 17th where the first 10 people to register get a taste of this exact assessment. Group run, gait analysis, hands-on movement session, coffee, and runners who get it.

20 spots. First 10 get the sensor analysis. Link in bio to grab yours.

PERFORMX🦵 TWO Runners Assessments ($250 value each)
