PUSH PUSH PUSHHHHH ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

The addition of the Force Frame has been a game changer to our athlete care and objective testing.

Here are the injuries I treated this week with the use of the ForceFrame to analyze max force production asymmetries and use of the training feature for 5x5 sec iso holds in fixed positions based on their tested % max:

๐Ÿฆต Groin strain (hip abd and add testing, ratio)

๐Ÿฆต Hip labrums (hip abd add ext flex testing, ratio)

๐Ÿฆถ Ankle sprain, shin splints, Achilles tendinitis (seated PF, hip abd/add)

๐Ÿ’ช Shoulder dislocations, rotator cuff strains, shoulder labrums (shoulder er/ir, ratio)

Donโ€™t guess, assess!

ACL Rehab for High Schoolers
(What actually matters ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ‘‡)

ACL rehab isnโ€™t time-based ๐Ÿ‘‰ itโ€™s criteria + data driven.
โœ”๏ธ Strength drives outcomesโ€จโœ”๏ธ Testing drives decisionsโ€จโœ”๏ธ Systems (not just you & your PT, all stake holders in your care) drive return to sport decisions

How we use VALD technology:
WITHIN TREATMENT SESSIONS
* Patient familiarization with testing equipment during visits at least 1x/week
* Every 4 week standardized testing

TESTING EVERY 4 WEEKS
* Peak isometric force: knee extension, knee flexion AND hip add, hip abd, Plantar flexion
* Jump testing as appropriate: Squat and SL squat assessment, CMJ, SLJ, SL land and hold, Drop jumps from varying heights (observe movement strategy here)
* Analyze Asymmetry (LSI) and Concentric and Eccentric RFD metrics
* Video analysis of COD tests (300 shuttle, MAS, Pro agility, 40m sprint, others applicable to sport)
* Psychological readiness ACL-RSI โ‰ฅ70
* Progressed Tissue Tolerance and Symptom Response (to weight training, plyometrics, COD reactive demands, practice and sport integration)

Then adjust and refine our PROGRAM:โ€จWeak quad? โ†’ load knee extensionโ€จPoor decel? โ†’ eccentric + landingโ€จLow RFD? โ†’ plyometrics + intent
Slow when cutting โ†’ COD mechanics (foot outside of BOS, trunk lean in new direction)

Big MISS in ACL rehab:โ€จUndertraining deceleration + rate of force development
Thatโ€™s where injuries actually happen on the field.

What actually moves the needle:โ€จ* Train strength and power principles hardโ€จ*Measure, but for a purpose! โ€จ*Coach landing + decel + CODโ€จ*Donโ€™t rush returnโ€จ*Communicate, communicate, communicate! with patient + parents + coaches

ACL rehab isnโ€™t JUST rehab โ€” itโ€™s preparing, planning, setting expectations, identifying performance barriers, and risk management.

Proud to partner with Johns Hopkins Athletics () this season. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Youโ€™ll see this video on the big screen at both menโ€™s and womenโ€™s lacrosse home games โ€” highlighting what it truly means to return to peak performance.

This partnership is about raising the standard for athlete care โ€” supporting athletes and sports medicine staff through informed decision-making, strategic programming, and optimizing physical readiness throughout the season.

More than rehab โ€” we prioritize objective testing, collaborative care, and individualized programming to address end-stage limitations when it matters most.

Excited for whatโ€™s ahead, Go Hop! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฅ

This partnership supports an important bridge between performance and in-season athlete managementโ€”helping ensure athletes are prepared to compete while navigating the physical demands of a long season.

Dr. Azita Nejaddehghan (), whose background includes professional, semi-professional, as well as collegiate sport, leads this work on campus in collaboration with the Hopkins Sports Performance and Athletic Training teams, to provide advanced testing, individualized programming, and performance consultation.

Her role supports the athletes and staff with informed decision-making, strategic programming, and optimization of physical readiness throughout the season.

Dr. Azita has already been on the ground working with the talented athletes of over the past few weeks. ๐Ÿฅ

Weโ€™re honored to support the incredible athletes and staff at Johns Hopkins University and excited about the work ahead.

WELCOME TO TEAM: Dr. Jason Lawrence! ๐Ÿšจ

Weโ€™re fired up to welcome Dr. Jason Lawrence, PT, DPT, CSCS to the Will Power PT team.

Raised in Harford County, Maryland, Dr. Jasonโ€™s foundation was built on years of competitive lacrosseโ€” a sport that demands speed, rotational power and durability. He continued his lacrosse career at McDaniel College, earning his degree in Kinesiology before completing his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at University of Maryland, Baltimore.

What separates Dr. Jason isnโ€™t just his credentials โ€” itโ€™s how he applies them.

As a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), with advanced training in FMS, SFMA, Functional Dry Needling, and certification through the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), he understands rotational athletes from the ground up โ€” whether thatโ€™s a lacrosse midfielder cutting at full speed or a golfer chasing clubhead speed. ๐ŸŒ๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ

Most recently, Dr. Jason worked with members of the United States Air Force, helping active-duty personnel maximize movement efficiency, resilience, and operational readiness. When performance isnโ€™t optional, preparation has to be dialed in. ๐Ÿช–

He bridges rehab and performance seamlessly. He collaborates within high-performance environments and understands force production, load management, and return-to-play at a high level. He develops athletes โ€” not just resolves injury.๐ŸŽ–๏ธ

Dr. Jasonโ€™s philosophy is rooted in armed-forces-level strength standards, evidence-based performance training, and combat-ready durability. Training with intent and building capacity. ๐Ÿงฑ

He brings a tactical, performance-driven standard that will continue to raise the bar for our rotational and field athletes.

This year, Will Power PT shifted in a big way.

We now have four full-time clinicians (soon to be 5!) operating at capacity โ€” a major milestone for a small business. But the real growth hasnโ€™t just been numbers. Itโ€™s been depth.

With stability came space to reflect on our Return-to-Sport decision making. Not just โ€œare they better?โ€ โ€” but are we being intentional enough? Are we standardized? Are we using objective metrics well? Are we building both physical capacity and psychological confidence?

Iโ€™ve watched:
โ€ข Corinne and Azita block off 15 minutes between patients to review metrics and refine exercise prescription.
โ€ข Jon and Azita dive into complex differential diagnoses and movement variability.
โ€ข Corinne and Jon discuss psychological barriers alongside treatment interventions.
โ€ข Jon and I map out SOPs, KPIs, contracts, expansion plans โ€” dividing and conquering to keep the machine running well.
โ€ข Azita and I build new services and pricing models rooted in value.
โ€ข Corinne and I refine operations, marketing, and community strategy.
No egos. Just collaboration.

Weโ€™ve changed:
โ€ข We expanded our weekly meetings to 90 minutes โ€” reviewing business operations and standardizing ACL protocols and return-to-play testing.
โ€ข Jon and I joined the 4 month cohort, with Corinne following this fall.
โ€ข Each PT commits to intentional educational posting.
โ€ข We proactively plan our continuing education.
We analyze our systems instead of reacting to problems.

Earlier in my career, therapists treated in separate corners. Here, your care may be led by one PT โ€” but itโ€™s supported by all of us. Your progress, data, and goals are discussed. Your plan is layered with perspective.

This team is superior. Small businesses have to evolve. Weโ€™re choosing to.

Athletes โ€” our support is different.

Integrating Joint Manipulations in Sports PT โšก๏ธ

As athletes prepare for the spring season, they tend to deal with accumulative tensionโ€”that heavy, stiff feeling that comes from increased training volume and harder surfaces. To combat this, we integrate HVLA (High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude) thrusts into our recovery sessions.

Why we adapted this approach:

The โ€œMobility Windowโ€: ๐ŸชŸ
Clinical studies indicate that manual therapy provides a transient increase in Range of Motion (ROM) and alters muscle excitability. We use this immediate post-adjustment โ€œwindowโ€ and incorporate movements and exercises that solidify those gains while the nervous system is in a more receptive state.

Short-term Relief, Long-term Results: ๐Ÿ‘Œ
While these chiropractic-style adjustments provide excellent acute relief for spring stiffness, research highlights that manual therapy is most effective as a facilitator for exercise. Our main focus remains on high-load training that builds long-term resilience and performance.

The Bottom Line: ๐Ÿ’ฅ
We are NOT reversing mechanical misalignments. We are optimizing the communication between the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. By utilizing a hybrid approach of manual techniques and sports-specific loading, we create a more efficient, resilient athlete ready for the demands of the season.

๐Ÿ’ช Prepare your body for your spring season.

Proud to Partner with Kelly Lacrosse. ๐Ÿ™Œ

At Will Power PT, we partner with programs that are intentional about youth athletics and committed to developing confident, resilient athletes both on and off the field.

Kelly Lacrosse exemplifies this approach. As a premier lacrosse development organization, weโ€™ve watched their program grow thoughtfully in both influence and impact while staying rooted in what matters most โ€” athlete development, family, and community.

Daniel, Jacob, and Mic Kelly are respected leaders in the Baltimore lacrosse community, bringing elite collegiate and professional experience alongside an athlete-first vision to everything they do. Their emphasis on strong foundational skills, decision-making, and meaningful relationships aligns directly with our philosophy of care.

At Will Power PT, we work alongside Kelly Lacrosse in supporting rehabilitation, recovery, and injury prevention during the formative middle and high school years. Our role is to support their athletes behind the scenes so they can move well, stay healthy, and continue to enjoy the game.

Together, weโ€™re raising the standard for youth lacrosse by integrating training and recovery as ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—น๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€, throughout every season.
