We help Memphis athletes overcome pain and stay active for a lifetime! STEP ONE : Find the Root Cause of your Pain

Get a clear diagnosis of why you're in pain.

Are you frustrated that pain is slowing you down and distracting you from what you really enjoy?

Receive a thorough assessment to figure out what's really going on and what needs to be done about it. STEP TWO: Understand Your Pain

Build strength and resilience so you can stay active for a lifetime. We'll show you how to keep improving so that you can reach your performance goals.

Education is empowerment.

These conversations matter. When women understand what’s happening inside their bodies, they stop blaming themselves and start asking better questions.

The right information doesn’t just explain symptoms. It opens the door to better support, smarter decisions, and stronger long-term health.

Pull-ups are a fantastic bodyweight exercise. If you’ve been avoiding them because of shoulder pain, this is worth trying.

Ring rows and lat pull downs absolutely have their place, but they don’t fully replicate the vertical pulling demands of a true pull-up.

We love setting a barbell low on the rack and practicing a strict, controlled pull while using your legs to offload some of the stress on the shoulders. The beauty of it? You control the assist. More legs when you need it. Less as you get stronger.

It’s a simple, approachable way to build the strength required for pull-ups without irritating your shoulder in the process.

Swipe 👉 first, then read below.

Start with a solid meal about 3–4 hours before your workout. Focus on carbs and protein, keep fat a little lower so it digests easier, and choose foods you know sit well with you.

Here’s a few examples:
• Breakfast: cereal with milk, banana, orange juice, eggs
• Lunch: turkey sandwich, fruit, maybe even a Rice Krispies treat
• Dinner: pasta, lean ground beef, marinara, veggies

If you train first thing in the morning, your dinner the night before is basically your pre-workout meal.

What about a snack right before training?

If you’re lifting for 45–60 minutes, you probably don’t need one. But if you’re heading into a longer or harder session (90+ minutes), adding 30–90g of carbs beforehand can absolutely help.

Think simple, easy-to-digest options:
Banana
Cereal
Orange juice
Gatorade
Rice Krispies treat

Fueling properly before you train sets you up to actually train hard. And when you can train hard consistently, that’s when strength, muscle, and performance start to show up.

Just another day at 901PT! 😆

This is why conversations around nutrition are part of the process.

The hands-on work, the exercises, and the programming all serve an important purpose. They help restore movement, reduce pain, and build strength. But they’re only one part of the picture.

Your body still needs the raw materials to repair and adapt.

In this case, the missing piece wasn’t a new exercise or another treatment. It was simply increasing protein intake to a level that actually supported muscle recovery. Once that changed, the body was finally able to respond the way it was supposed to.

This is why the full picture always matters. Recovery isn’t just about what happens in the clinic. It’s also about what happens in your daily habits.

When strength, movement, and nutrition are all working together, that’s when people start to truly feel better and stay better.

Women were (and sometimes still) taught to avoid muscle.. 🤦‍♀️

This didn’t happen by accident. For decades, women were fed a message:
”Be delicate. Be small. Be ‘toned,’ but not strong. Don’t take up space.”

And culturally, strength training wasn’t built with women in mind.

Early on, people didn’t work out like we do now. Many were doing physical labor.

And when structured fitness took off, it leaned heavily into aerobics. Strength training spaces were male-driven. Even women who were strong (think Olympic lifting) didn’t fit the cultural “ideal.”

So it makes sense that so many women still say..

“I don’t want to get bulky.”
“I just want to tone.”
“I’ll stick to light weights.”

The reality is, you want muscle. Muscle is what creates “tone.”

Yoga and Pilates can be amazing practices (seriously), but they aren’t the only thing your body needs, because they don’t necessarily give you the kind of progressive, heavy resistance that protects strength and bone over time. 💪

We had a patient come in with classic sciatica symptoms.. but it turns out the real problem was a trigger point in her glute. That familiar pain running down the leg? Not always coming from the back.

Here’s how we approached it:
✅ Released the trigger point with a lacrosse ball
✅ Reintroduced pain-free movement
✅ Built a plan to strengthen so it doesn’t come back

Pain patterns can be tricky.

That’s why it’s so important to get a proper assessment before assuming it’s a nerve issue. Your glutes might just be asking for a little attention.

The menopause bone-loss window nobody warns you about.. let’s talk about it.

We hosted a workshop last week with where we dove deeper into all things perimenopause and menopause.

Here was a big takeaway if you weren’t able to make it..

Bone loss doesn’t start at 65. Women can start losing bone in their 40s, even before menopause, and the most rapid loss happens in a very specific window 👉 From the time of your final menstrual period, those first two years are when you lose the most bone.

Up to 20% bone loss from the final menstrual period through that two-year timeframe. 👀

That means you shouldn’t wait until “later” to think about bone health.

This is why we talk about playing offense.
• Know where you’re starting (baseline)
• Understand what’s changing
• Build a plan before the window closes

Bone and muscle loss are not “a surprise event.” They’re a predictable shift, and if we know that, we can respond accordingly.

Everything “going downhill” after the age of 40 doesn’t have to be the narrative.

Here’s what we have to say about it (swipe) 👉

Whether you have aches and pains, limited mobility, you’ve “slowed down”, etc.. we want you to know that those things can be addressed and they don’t need to prevent you from enjoying your every day life. 901PT can help.

Recovery has become a full-time hobby for some of us.

And while recovery tools can have their place, they’re often used to solve the wrong problem.

If your body is constantly exhausted, sore, or not progressing, it’s usually not because you’re missing the right recovery tactic. It’s because the total stress on your system is higher than what you’ve built the capacity to handle.

At 901PT, we focus on helping people build bodies that don’t just tolerate activity, but thrive in it.

Time for another movement snack! This one is simple and effective for your shoulders and your neck as it helps open things up that likely spend too much time in a forward position.

Before scrolling on, give yourself 10-15 good reps.
