I help active adults and athletes get out of pain so they can amplify their movement, sport, & life

02/22/2026

Most runners chase fitness.

But performance is also about efficiency.
Plyometrics improve how your muscles and tendons store and release energy, which can improve running economy by up to 9% — without changing your aerobic capacity.

Run the same pace.
Use less energy.

That’s how durability and speed are built.
Add power. Keep the miles. Feel the difference.

Thanks for hosting Garwood. Your GameChanger Athletes moved their eyes, got some quality breath work performance in, and worked on their deadlift. 💪🏼 Ready to crush their next class

You don’t build new skills by just “getting stronger.”
 You build them by teaching your brain how to move differently.

That’s motor learning.

It’s the process of practicing with intention, making small adjustments, and repeating the right patterns until they become automatic. Strength supports it—but skill comes from quality reps, not just effort.

If you want lasting change, train the movement… not just the muscle.

ACL rehab isn’t just about getting stronger—it’s about owning every movement again.
Your knee doesn’t need protection forever. It needs preparation.
 Preparation to decelerate. To cut. To land. To trust.

We don’t just chase range of motion or check boxes. We retrain control, confidence, and the ability to handle the chaos of sport—so your body stops hesitating when the game speeds up.

Because returning to sport isn’t about being cleared.
 It’s about being ready.

Pain Relief ≠ Problem Solved

Feeling better is not the same as being better.

Pain can decrease simply because inflammation calms down or you’ve modified activity. But if the underlying movement issue, strength deficit, or load intolerance hasn’t been addressed, the problem is still there—just quieter.

That’s why so many injuries come back.

True rehab doesn’t just reduce symptoms. It builds capacity so your body can handle what you ask of it again.

That constant tightness in your back isn’t a flaw — it’s your body trying to protect you.

When your system doesn’t feel strong or coordinated enough to handle load, it creates stiffness as a safety strategy. The problem is, protection isn’t the same as resilience.

Real resilience comes from teaching your body to share the work again — through better movement, better control, and strength you can actually use.

Stop fighting the tightness.
 Build the capacity that makes it unnecessary.

Most golfers wait until the first warm day to think about their body. 🏌🏽‍♂️

That’s also why so many feel low back pain by the third round of the season.

Here’s what winter is actually for:
- Restoring hip mobility so your back doesn’t compensate during rotation
- Building core control to handle the forces of your swing
- Improving thoracic mobility for smoother, more efficient turn
- Gradually loading the body so you’re not going from 0 → 18 holes overnight, and for the 19th hole to distract you from the pain

Low back pain in golfers is rarely just a “back problem.”
 It’s usually a mobility + strength + sequencing issue.

Address it now, and when the snow melts, you’re playing golf — not managing pain.

Pain is just the entry point.
Performance is the outcome.

If rehab doesn’t rebuild your ability to handle load, it didn’t finish the job.

Don’t get sucked into a repeating injury cycle. Why? Not only does it suck, it also gets you farther from your goals that you want to crush.

Hey Local Runners —

I’m looking for 5 recreational runners for a case study who want to stay injury-free and run more efficiently—not just log more miles.

Over 8 weeks you’ll get:
✅ Professional 3D Gait Running Analysis
✅ A printed report with your Quality Running Score + key weaknesses holding you back
✅ A personalized strength program to improve efficiency and durability
✅ A secondary running analysis to track real progress

Spots are limited to 5 runners to keep this highly individualized. One spot is already gone.

DM me to learn more

Most runners waste energy with every step — do you know where?

I use RunEasi 3D Running Analysis to measure your Quality Running Score — breaking down your form, efficiency, and mechanics so you know exactly where you’re leaking energy (and how to fix it).

Better form = better running economy = better performance.

Amplify your performance by running smarter, not harder.

Achilles pain isn’t just tight calves — it’s a tendon capacity issue.

When the load you put on your body exceeds what the tendon can handle, pain shows up.
 Rest may calm it down, but progressive strengthening is what fixes it long-term. Physical therapy builds tendon strength and resilience so you can run, train, and move without setbacks.

Pain is an invaluable teacher. Experiencing pain is always individualistic. Pain is important to experience and is normal—pain all the time is not normal. But, there are ways to change your body and brain’s response to pain. It is inevitable that your brain and body will change. But HOW your brain and body change is not inevitable.
