FIX YOUR PAIN WITH AN EXPERT. GET BACK OUT THERE WITH CONFIDENCE.

02/16/2026

If you’re heading into ACL surgery, one of the most important things you can do beforehand is restore full knee extension.

Why? Because going into surgery without full extension can make your recovery longer, stiffer, and more frustrating on the back end.

The good news: you can make big progress with the right exercises 👇
• Heel props or prone hangs to gently improve extension
• Quad sets to re-activate the muscle that keeps your knee straight
• Controlled terminal knee extension work to build confidence and control

Think of this as “setting the stage” for a smoother, faster rehab after surgery.

If you’re dealing with an ACL injury and aren’t sure where to start, send me a message—I’d be happy to point you in the right direction.

Quick check-in...
Now that we're officially a month into the new year, it usually means one of two things:

Either things are rolling and you’re feeling great
or...
the excitement from January has started to wear off a bit.

That early-January motivation is powerful!

New goals.

New routines.

Big plans.

But once real life kicks back in with work, stress, busy schedules --it can get harder to stay consistent.

Sometimes little aches start showing up.

Sometimes an old injury whispers, “Hey, remember me?”

Does that sound familiar??

If it does, you're not alone. We see it every year from athletes and active adults just like you!

The good news is feeling a little off at the one-month mark doesn’t mean your goals are slipping away.

It just means your body is adapting to something new.

That's part of the process, and exactly why we're running a special for all the resolutioners that need a little help!

Resolution Rescue is built for athletes and active individuals who want to keep exercising, stay active, and stop guessing their way through pain or setbacks.

DM us for more details

You can’t fully rehab a calf or Achilles without eccentric loading.

The gastroc–Achilles complex needs controlled lengthening under load to restore tendon capacity, reduce pain, and tolerate real-life demands like running, jumping, and cutting.

Skipping eccentrics = lingering symptoms.
Progressive eccentrics = stronger tissue, better force absorption, and confidence to move again.

Pain-free isn’t passive.
It’s built—slow rep by slow rep.

More to come…

It’s AJ here from AJ Physical Therapy & Performance!

Okay… I gotta be honest — how is it already December 10th?!

I swear December moves at 3x speed.

You blink… and suddenly you’ve got holiday parties, work deadlines, family plans, and a shopping list that never seems to end.

Anyway, quick update!

We launched our Holiday Gift Card last week…
and 12 of them disappeared almost instantly.

Which means we’re officially down to our last 8.
If you missed the first email, here’s the details...
👉 The gift card is a full-priced evaluation
👉 You get it for 90% off
👉 And it has to be gifted to a friend, family member, or coworker
So yes — you get to look like an absolute hero by giving someone a $215 gift…
..for $21!

And honestly, this time of year? Everyone’s stressed. Everyone’s aching somewhere. Everyone’s putting off taking care of themselves until “after the holidays.”

That’s why were so happy to be offering this up to our community.

Whether they come in during December or start the New Year off right, we’re excited to see more of our community dedicating time to their health and wellness!

This is one of those gifts people actually use — and appreciate.
Perfect for...
🎄 The active friend who’s always dealing with something
🎄 Your coworker who keeps mentioning their shoulder
🎄 A parent who needs a push to take care of themselves
🎄 Your partner who keeps saying “I’ll book an appointment soon…”
But again! We’re down to 8 gift cards left!

And with the holidays fast approaching, I don’t expect them to be around much longer.

DM to grab yours!

We’ve added:
🟢 Golf Simulator
🟢 3D Motion Capture
🟢 3D Force Plates

This tech gives us elite-level testing and data so we can truly understand how you move, where you’re losing power, and what’s holding you back.

No guesswork. No generic programs.
Just precision movement analysis → customized plans → faster return to peak performance.

Whether you’re a golfer chasing more distance or an athlete looking to unlock your best, we’ve got the tools to get you there.

🔥 Optimal performance starts with elite testing. Let’s get after it.

Sitting around the fire the other night, my six-year-old told me she felt left out by her friends.
I told her something simple:

“ the world is not out to get you… You are out to get the world”

Funny thing is — that advice applies to adults too.
Especially with your health.

You can’t control your schedule, the weather, the stress, or the curveballs life throws at you…

But you can control how you show up for your body today.

As a Physical Therapist, I see it every day:
People who keep showing up — even when it’s not perfect — get stronger, move better, and stay healthier long-term.

So whether you’re 6 or 60:
Show up anyway.
Your future self will thank you.
