Your PT is probably missing half your problem. Here’s why 👇

When you walk into most PT clinics, they focus on your RED LIGHTS 🔴 …. the pain, the injury, the thing that brought you in.

But I assess your WHOLE body using a traffic light system:

🟢 Green = moving well
🟡 Yellow = compensations, weaknesses, mobility issues that WILL become problems if we ignore them
🔴 Red = current pain/injury

If I only fix your red lights, you’ll be back in 6 months with a new problem.

My job is to unlock ALL your lights—so you move better, perform better, and actually STAY healthy.

That’s what optimizing human movement looks like.

I had the pleasure of meeting Coral through a common athlete we both support (👋🏻 ) and it was my absolute honor to take her through my process!

Coral is a triathlete, and when we talk about triathletes, we have to be super aware of how many different aspects of sport they go through and what the body requires from them.

It’s a long video, but this was just under a 2-hour assessment. My biggest goals when I see someone in my office are to:

1. Understand them.
Where are you in your sport of choice? Are you in a training block? Off-season? The specific sport and training phase automatically shift my processes and questions.

2. Assess movement from the ground up.
We start with simple movements—assessing all joints, spinal mobility, and how you breathe. These are all part of how I gain an understanding of you as an athlete and interpret what your body is telling me.

3. Analyze function in context.
I go through gait analysis, functional movement patterns, and even look at the tread on your shoes to confirm what I’ve already seen or uncover something new.

When you leave my office, my hope is that you have a better understanding of your body, how to connect to it, and how to fix the foundational components to improve your athletic performance.

This is what 1-on-1 care looks like. Not 15-minute appointments. Not cookie-cutter exercises. Real assessment. Real solutions.

Medal Monday 🏅

I did two races over the weekend: Saturday 10K and Sunday half marathon. I ran a total of 19.3 miles for my guy Anderson and Cure SMA, and raised almost $1,500!

It was a rough weekend on a total of 6 hours of sleep (don’t recommend 😅), but I ended up with a PR in the 10K and a PR in the half by 17.5 minutes (technically 23 minutes if we count Strava over Disney’s distance LOL).

For me, it wasn’t about the PRs. It wasn’t about the medals or even being at Disney.

It was about raising awareness for Spinal Muscular Atrophy and ensuring we continue to raise funds to find a cure—and there are some amazing new treatments coming out!

Thank you to everyone who donated, sponsored a mile, and cheered me on. It was the purest reminder of why I love running.

And my link to donate is still open! Head to my bio 💜

Post race weekend cold plunge.

I felt like I completely tapped out of all mental strength over the weekend and knowing I had to do this today felt daunting and took about 3 hours of strength to muster up.

I’m exhausted.
I didn’t want to feel cold.
I didn’t want to.
I didn’t feel like it.
I’m hobbling around like a fool.

But I’m here. Why?

Because recovery is my number one priority.

I’m not the runner I was two or three years ago. I’ve placed a heavy emphasis on recovery and foot health, and it’s led me down a path that doesn’t require MORE running—it just requires me to tune into my body and actually give it what it needs.

Cold plunge ✅
Active recovery ✅
Listening to my body ✅

This is what training smarter looks like.

And guess what? My little self is so happy I actually did this today.
