Accelerate: Sport and Spine Rehab

11/16/2025

We don’t need to choose between “perfect form” and “nothing matters.”

What we need is the nuance to see when each lens is useful.

The world isn’t black-and-white, and neither is rehab.

In rehab, more isn’t always better, it’s just more 🤷

💡 Rehab isn’t a checklist of drills, it’s a process of learning… and sometimes unlearning.

I don’t want 10 things that just do one thing. I want one thing that changes 10 things. 🎯 

💯 Precision will always beat volume.

You don’t need more work, you need the right work. 💪

I love seeing more young athletes getting into strength training. It’s an incredible tool when it’s used the right way. 🏋️

Strength training is supposed to do two things: make you less likely to get injured and make you better at your sport and your position. 🔥

👀 I see a lot of young athletes get pulled into lifting in ways that drift away from those goals. 

💯 Here’s the truth: your opponent doesn’t care how much you bench or squat if they can run around you. You can chase numbers in the gym, it’s motivating and it’s fun, but just remember that the real priority is being able to apply that strength on the field. 🏃

It’s not the weight on the bar that matters. It’s what you can actually put into play. 💪

💪 I love strength-based rehab. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have. But it’s not the whole story.

You can’t outlift pain by just pushing harder. 🧠 True rehab is about teaching your body to move with confidence and control. It’s helping your system unlearn pain, rebuild trust, and adapt again.

Get strong, but make sure you’re also creating a body that can express that strength freely, without hesitation. That’s where the real change happens. 🔁

🚨 What no one tells you before surgery, part 3: The work you do after matters most. ⬇️

Surgery isn’t the checkered flag 🏁… it’s the starting gun. Everyone talks about the surgery, but that’s just step one. The best surgeons repair, the best recoveries rebuild.

What happens after surgery decides how well you come back, not just how fast. A scalpel can’t restore trust, confidence, or movement capacity, that’s where you do the work. 🏋️‍♂️ Surgery only gets you to the starting line.

Save this or share it with someone preparing for surgery. Recovery doesn’t start in the OR, it starts with understanding. 🔑✨

In rehab, if the what was all it took, everyone would already be fixed.

Social media sells the what because it’s shiny.
It’s easy to film, easy to copy, easy to sell.

But the why is the real work.
It’s slower, quieter, and harder to package.
Yet it’s the only thing that makes the what matter.

At this point when I scroll social media I am mich less judgemental and more tolerant to different perspectives.
Becuase what I really want to knows is

“What is the why behind what this person is demonstrating?”

Start with why, and the noise fades.
Clarity follows.

Can’t get rid of tight calves no matter how much you stretch? Check your feet 👣

🏃 When you walk or run, your foot naturally rolls inward and makes your arch flatten slightly, helping your ankle move forward smoothly.

💥 If your foot can’t pronate (roll in and flatten), your ankle locks up. Your calf has to grind harder every time you walk.

🔥 Try this: make your foot stiff and flat and take a few steps. Feel that extra pull in your calf? That’s what happens when your foot doesn’t move right.

Free up your foot, let your ankle move, and your calves finally relax. 👊

Science, not stiffness. 👣

Most ankle sprains heal — but 1 in 5 turn chronic.
The difference isn’t luck. It’s how you rebuild trust between your foot and brain.

High arch? You need shock absorption and lateral control.
Low arch? You need stiffness and timing through the medial chain.
Same injury — different map back to confidence.

Rehab isn’t just about getting back fast. It’s about getting back right.

Book an assessment and we’ll test where your ankle’s still guessing — and rebuild the trust it needs to move without hesitation.

What no one tells you before surgery (Part 2):
Your recovery timeline isn’t supposed to look like anyone else’s. ⏳

We all hear stories of the “fast recoveries” —
like a friend running again just 8 weeks after surgery.

But here’s the truth: healing is never one-size-fits-all. 💡

Two people can have the exact same procedure
and experience completely different recoveries.

Biology, sleep, stress, mindset —
they all change how your body rebuilds.

Comparing your recovery to someone else’s
is like comparing fingerprints — no two are the same. 🌀

So instead of chasing someone else’s calendar,
track your own progress.

Recovery is built on consistency, not comparison.

If you missed Part 1, go check it out — it breaks down what surgery + rehab are really meant to achieve.
And stay tuned for Part 3 👀
where I’ll share what actually determines how well you come back (hint: it’s not just the procedure).

In rehab, we’re not chasing perfect movement.
We’re chasing purposeful movement.

It’s about finding the right challenge for the right person at the right time.

Just like studying for a test, you don’t memorize answers. You learn how to solve problems. That’s what good rehab does. It trains your body to adapt, adjust, and handle whatever comes next.

Your body doesn’t thrive on perfection, it thrives on preparation. 💪

If this resonates, save it for your next session or share it with someone who needs the reminder. Let’s get you doing the right training for YOU. 👊
