Most people choose in-network physical therapy because it seems easier.

But what most people don’t realize is that insurance-based PT often means:
• Shorter appointments
• Multiple patients treated at once
• Generic rehab programs
• Slower progress

And when progress is slow… you often end up spending more time, more visits, and more energy trying to solve the same problem.

That’s the difference with out-of-network physical therapy.

At Athletic Edge PT, your care looks different:
✔️ 1-hour, one-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy
✔️ A performance-based rehab environment (barbells, turf, sleds, force plates)
✔️ A clear step-by-step plan to get you back to sport and training
✔️ Clinicians who understand the demands of running, lifting, CrossFit, and active lifestyles

Instead of squeezing patients into a schedule, we focus on getting results efficiently.

We help active adults and athletes recover from:
• Sports injuries
• Running injuries
• Strength training injuries
• Pelvic floor dysfunction for athletes
• Chronic pain that hasn’t improved with traditional PT

If you’re tired of feeling stuck in the traditional system, there’s another way to approach rehab.

Start with a free phone consultation to see if we’re the right fit.

Stop wasting your time in generic PT 🛑

I know it might be in-network, but you could be saving your co-pay $$ and time by going to a provider who actually understands your goals and will perform the right tests and measures, and coaching to get you there.

If you’re a runner, your PT better be doing a running assessment on you;

Cyclists? Bike fitting, yup we do that too

if you’re a field and court athlete, there should be force production testing and single leg plyo/strength testing;

if you’re a CrossFitter there should be video and breakdown of the movement you’re having an issue with;

You get the idea; stop playing around with generic rehab specialists and find someone who gets you 🤘🏼

Low back pain while biking? Your bike fit could be the reason.

Low back pain during cycling is often linked to your bike setup, not just your back itself.

A saddle that is too high can cause pelvic rocking. A poor saddle title can change your pelvic position and increase low back stress.

Bars that are too low or a stem that is too short can leave you stuck in a rounded, overstrained position.

And if your bike fit looks good, low back pain can also point to reduced core strength or endurance.

In honor of the CrossFit Open, we’re dusting off one of our favorite throwback reels.

So…who needs some magic PT pills this week? 🪄💊

‼️Most overuse injuries don’t come from a single workout‼️

They come from training spikes your body wasn’t prepared for.

Sports scientists measure this with the Acute : Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) — a simple way to compare your training this week vs. what your body has adapted to over the past month.

When training load increases too quickly, tissues like the Achilles, knees, plantar fascia, and hips can become overloaded.

This is something we commonly see with:

• runners increasing mileage too quickly
• CrossFit athletes returning after time off
• athletes jumping into competition weeks
• lifters increasing training volume suddenly

Tracking workload helps athletes train harder while reducing injury risk.

Save this post so you can calculate your ACWR the next time you increase training volume.

If pain is interrupting your training, our sports physical therapy team helps athletes identify the root cause and get back to training stronger.

Shoulder pain during the CrossFit Open isn’t random.
It’s usually a workload or control issue.

Every year we see the same pattern:
High-volume pull-ups, muscle-ups, snatches, HSPU… then a front-of-shoulder pinch shows up in Week 2.

Most athletes guess.
They stretch more. Tape it. Hope it settles down.

But shoulder irritation during the CrossFit Open is typically about:
• Fatigue breaking down scap control
• Pressing more than you pull
• Spiking overhead volume
• Losing rib position under load

This quick self-assessment will help you tell the difference between normal soreness and something that needs real attention.

The goal isn’t to survive Week 1.
It’s to compete all 3 weeks without digging a hole you can’t climb out of.

If you’re a CrossFit athlete in San Diego and your shoulder feels questionable, get in before it becomes a bigger problem.

Book a session with us before, during, or after the Open.
Let’s keep you crushing it 🔥
