Monday mobility challenge!
I promise no athletes were injured during the making of this reel 😂

The challenge: sit down without bending your knees.
Simple… until it’s not.

How would you do it? Tag us and show us your best (or funniest) attempt 👀

Meet Dr. Maya 👋
Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer and the human behind Golden State Performance PT.

I help active humans keep training, lifting, running, and doing the things they love, even when pain tries to get in the way. No cookie-cutter rehab, no fear-based rules, and no being told to “just rest.”

My approach blends movement, strength, education, and real-life training goals, because rehab should actually translate to the gym, the field, and everyday life.

If you want physical therapy that meets you where you are and builds you forward, you’re in the right place 💪

Stick around. Or shoot me a DM and let’s talk.

If I’m asking 47 follow-up questions, it’s because I want you lifting, running, and living without second-guessing your body.
You deserve the world. And a rehab solid plan!

So… what actually happens during a physical therapy evaluation?

First things first — it’s not rushed. You get 1:1 time, and the focus is fully on you.

We start by talking. About your goals, how you train, what your days look like, and the pain you’ve probably been working around longer than you want to admit.

Then we move.
You’ll squat, hinge, reach, rotate. I’m watching how your whole body moves together, because the problem isn’t always where it hurts.

We’ll check strength and mobility in ways that actually make sense for how you live and train. No one size fits all tests or cookie-cutter plans.

And yes, you’ll usually get a little treatment on day one.
Hands-on work, movement, or loading, depending on what your body needs that day to help jump start getting you out of pain.

You’ll leave with answers.
What’s going on, why it’s happening, and a personalized rehab program built around your goals.

If you’ve been putting this off…
this might be your sign to finally get it checked out.

Hey runners 👋
If you want to run faster, go longer, and stay healthier… strength training isn’t optional. Stronger muscles mean better force production, cleaner stride mechanics, and more durable miles.

And if you are lifting, are your calves actually getting trained?
Both the soleus (endurance) and gastroc (power) matter, and there are way more effective ways to load them than endless calf raises.

Want ideas? Comment “RUN” and I’ll send you my top 3 strength lifts for runners 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

And with that… here’s a wrap on 2025.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget to pause and acknowledge the wins (both the quiet ones and the big, scary, exciting ones). This year was full of growth in ways I never could have imagined.

In 2025, I took a leap and moved away from fully mobile care to open a clinic inside an incredible community at . I’m endlessly grateful for how warmly I was welcomed, for the support, and for being introduced to a sport and culture that has challenged me and reminded me what it means to keep showing up even when things are hard.

This year also brought so many new faces through the doors—amazing people in the Ventura community who trusted me with their bodies, their goals, and their stories. I’m inspired daily by your resilience, your patience through pain, and your refusal to give up on the things you love. You are truly the reason I do what I do. Thank you for trusting me, for believing in the process, and for allowing me to be part of your journey.

Here’s to continued growth, deeper connections, and helping even more people move, feel, and live better in 2026. 💛

Gentle nudge to all the athletes and active humans telling themselves “I’ll book soon.”
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
If you’ve been ignoring that nagging pain… here’s the truth: rest usually isn’t the answer.
Jump-start your January goals, fix the problem before it sidelines you, and beat the New-Year-resolution injury rush.
There’s no better time than now. Shoot me a DM, and let’s talk!

Not sure I’ve ever laughed harder filming one of these! This is a great one to pull out at holiday parties to test your family… although I’m still not convinced it’s a mobility test or just a “long arms vs torso” situation 😂
Try it at your own risk, and if something doesn’t feel right afterwards, well you know where to find me 😉
