💧 Hydration = Performance + Recovery 💧

Your body runs best when you fuel it with the right amount of water throughout the day—and around your workouts. Here’s how to stay on top of it:

✨ Daily: Women aim for ~80 oz, men ~120 oz (this includes food & drinks).
✨ Before activity: Hydrate a few hours before, then a small glass 20–30 min pre-workout.
✨ During activity: Sip 4–8 oz every 15–20 min. For long sessions, sports drinks (diluted) with carbs + electrolytes can boost endurance.
✨ After activity: Replenish ~3 cups of water per pound of sweat lost.

💡 How to tell if you’re hydrated:
• Thirst = you’re already behind.
• P*e should be light yellow (like lemonade).
• Tired, foggy, or cramping? You likely need more water.

✅ Tips to stay on track: Carry a bottle, set phone reminders, eat hydrating foods (watermelon, strawberries, grapefruit).

👉 Staying hydrated sharpens your brain, supports blood flow, and prevents those annoying cramps. Small habits = big performance payoff.

💪 Fuel Your Recovery, Fuel Your Performance 🌱✨
Recovery isn’t just about rest—it’s about what you put in your body. Protein helps repair muscles, boost energy, and sharpen your focus, while veggies keep you hydrated, support digestion, and load you up with vitamins + minerals.

👉 Aim for 1–1.5g of protein per kg of bodyweight and pack your plate with colorful veggies to keep your body performing at its peak.

💤 Sleep: Your Recovery Superpower
Think of sleep as free performance fuel. Aim for 8–10 hours of quality rest each night—if you can’t get it all at once, short naps still count. Consistent sleep doesn’t just make you feel better, it helps your body repair, sharpens focus, improves reaction time, and even reduces injury risk. Whether you’re grinding on the court, field, or gym, better sleep = better performance.

Knees Over Toes. What’s The Deal?

One of the most common myths that still exists in the training and rehab worlds is that squatting with your knees over your toes is damaging.

You may have seen ads by Ben Patrick, otherwise known as KneesOverToesGuy.

He’s taken the world by storm, showing up on huge platforms such as The Joe Rogan Show, as well as becoming ubiquitous on social media.

So, naturally everyone should be trying to push their knees as far forward as possible during a squat, right?

Unfortunately, it’s a little more complex than that.

One of the best articles we’ve seen on this debate is linked below. In it, all the considerations for when someone should push their knees forward, and when they should back off, are covered in depth by skilled professionals.

Meet the Newest Face at Basecamp!

Chelsea is the newest Basecamp PT and we can’t wait for you all to meet her!

Chelsea brings a well-rounded, patient-centered approach to care, grounded in both evidence-based practice and a holistic view of health. With experience across a wide range of populations—including older adults, post-operative patients, and those navigating concussion and vestibular rehabilitation—she tailors treatment to meet each individual’s unique goals and needs.

Her passion for movement runs deep, shaped by years playing basketball and softball, and continuing today through hiking and learning the game of tennis. She believes movement is medicine and works to empower her patients through thoughtful, personalized interventions.

Outside the clinic, you can find her enjoying live music, spending time with friends, or walking her dog, Penny, on a local trail.

(Y)our Story

Physical therapists should be athletes too. I’ve found myself frustrated after years of health care practitioners that don’t practice what they preach. How can I tell you how to deadlift, squat, run, hike, etc., if I haven’t done them myself?

At BaseCamp, your victories will be celebrated as if they are my own. Because in essence, they are. If you’ve been struggling to get back to the things you love because of pain or an injury, give us a call and see if we’re the right fit for you.
