Are shoes an important component of your movement or discomfort? Potentially! But they’re not always the problem.
We see it all the time. Someone starts feeling pain and immediately blames their shoes. New pair, same pain.
Your shoes could be contributing.. but if you’ve been running or training in the same pair for months without issue and something flares up, it’s probably not just the shoes.
It’s important to look beyond the surface and see what your body is trying to tell you.

Most people with back pain never need surgery.
The Lown Institute analyzed three years of Medicare claims data to see just how often it's being recommended anyway.
They found over 200,000 back surgeries performed on older adults that met the criteria for unnecessary.
One every eight minutes.
Around $2 billion billed to Medicare for procedures that clinical evidence says provided little to no benefit for those patients.
We see the downstream version of this regularly.
People who went through the whole process, didn't get better, and are now wondering what's left.
For a lot of them, the answer involves progressive loading and rebuilding the capacity the spine lost over time.
The kind of work that takes more than a 15-minute appointment to figure out.
Back pain is real.
For some people surgery is absolutely the right call.
But for a lot of people, it's being recommended before conservative options ever got a real shot.

Most people with shoulder pain go see an orthopedic surgeon first.
And most of them spend months going through the same cycle:
Quick appointment. Imaging.
A shot or a referral to PT, where they do band exercises twice a week until someone decides nothing is working and surgery is the next conversation.
Nobody along the way was wrong exactly...
But a 15-minute appointment and a PT session split between four other patients doesn't leave room to really dig into what's going on.
A shoulder can get to "not painful anymore" through that process.
Getting it back to bench press, back overhead, back to trusting it in the gym again takes something more thorough than that.
We spend a full hour with you every visit. Enough time to actually figure out what's driving the problem and build toward what you were doing before.
Let's get you back to trusting your shoulder again!

Most PT clinics are seeing 3 or 4 patients at the same time.
Which means you're getting maybe 15 minutes of real attention — if that.
We've never done it that way.
At 901PT, you get one full hour with the same PT, every visit.
No techs. No assistants. No handing you off to someone who doesn't know your history.
It matters to have someone who actually knows you, your goals, and where you are in your recovery.
You're worth it.

Dealing with a tendon issue? A few things you’ll need to know…
👉 Tendons need load. Resting too much or immobilizing can weaken them. Gradual exercise is key.
👉 Progressive loading works. Tendons thrive on slow, heavy, controlled exercises to rebuild strength.
👉 It’s an active process. Tendons “talk” to you through how they feel. Pay attention and adjust as needed.
👉 Repetitive stress hurts. Highly repetitive tasks can cause injuries. Mix up movements and avoid overdoing it.
👉 Be patient. Recovery takes time. Tendons respond slowly but consistently to proper rehab.
Of course, reach out to us if you need some personalized guidance so you can heal your tendon issue the right way!
