Does the practitioner or client get more satisfaction from the pops?? We’ll never know 🤣

When clients come into our office with pain, our first goal is to address the cause and then help reduce that pain as best we can combining manual treatment AND exercise AND patient education.

It’s not one or the other, it’s a combination of the 3 to@get the best outcomes 🙌🏻

And one more thing, ITS OK FOR PTS TO PROVIDE SPINAL MANIPULATIONS. As long as you were correctly educated and trained, and are proficient in it.

Do not ask a PT the next time they do a manip of any kind this question: “oh so you can do chiropractor work too?”

It’s a skill we learn and practice in, just like chiros out there learn rehabilitation techniques, or do you ask them “oh so you can do PT stuff to??”

Pelvic pressure.
Hip pain.
That constant “urge” feeling.

Common in the third trimester — but not something you just have to push through.

This mobility series focuses on:
✔️ pelvic floor coordination
✔️ hips + core support
✔️ movement that actually feels good

Because pregnancy prep = postpartum prep.

📩 DM us PREGNANCY if you want individualized support.

Grab a lacrosse ball and spend 5 minutes after your run to roll out these areas, especially your feet. This alone can help reduce tension you feel the next day which can affect your next run!

The feet feel so good with the roll out 🫠

Spend 30-60 seconds on any tight areas either flexing your toes up and down, bending you knee back and forth, or adding ankle pumps with the calf to get a little active release going on 💆🏼‍♀️

Train your legs heavy, in multiple planes of movement, and both unilateral and double leg stance.
-Your knees will thank you.

Especially if you’re prepping for ski season!

Please don’t be scared to train heavy, doesn’t mean to train through pain however.

Heavy for you is different than heavy for someone else.

Work up to weights that feel like a 7-8/10 challenge for some lifts to build strength.

Those sets can be 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps with good rest breaks; then as you reduce the weight, increase the reps to work more volume and hypertrophy.

Keep changing things up to “surprise” your brain and body to be able to adapt to new stimuli and therefore reduce injury risk.

If you have knee pain with lifting or anything DM us and we’d be happy to help.

All we want for Christmas is…

✨ realistic expectations
✨ informed athletes
✨ rehab that actually sticks

From ACLs to pelvic floor, runners to lifters, our wish list is less about miracles and more about real rehab.

If you’re ready to do rehab the right way, we’re here.

Knee feeling cranky when you run, squat, or cut? KT tape won’t fix the root cause, but it can give your knee a little extra support so you can move with less irritation while you rehab the real issue.

Here’s the exact PT-approved taping setup we use for athletes dealing with front-of-knee pain (patellar pain, runner’s knee, squat pain, etc.)👇

Why athletes use this tape pattern:

• Helps reduce tension on the patellar tendon
• Improves awareness of knee tracking during lifts & drills
• Adds light support for running, jumping, and change-of-direction
• Great short-term relief while you rebuild strength + mechanics

If your knee pain keeps coming back, taping is just the band-aid. Your strength, mobility, and movement patterns are the long-term fix.

A little PSA for the athletes who think pelvic floor stuff is “for moms only.” 👀

We’re seeing more and more research saying pelvic floor dysfunction is a legit issue in athletes and most sports physicals don’t even acknowledge it.

If you:

☑️leak on double unders, box jumps, sprints or heavy lifts

☑️feel pelvic heaviness or pressure when you train

☑️get hit with “gotta go NOW” as soon as you start warming up

…you’re not weird, broken, or “too young for this.” And you definitely don’t have to just wear a pad and hope for the best.

Your pelvic floor is part of your performance system just like your hips, core, or shoulders. When it’s not keeping up with the demands of your sport, it deserves the same attention.

Save this for later, share it with a teammate who jokes about “peeing a little,” and if you’re in San Diego and this feels a little too real, you can book a pelvic floor eval with us at Athletic Edge PT.
