🥊 Special Moment at MSR Physical Therapy! 🥊

I recently had the opportunity to meet Ciryl Gane, former UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion, ahead of his upcoming fight this weekend against Alex Pereira at UFC 250 White House!

What stood out most was not just his incredible athletic achievements, but his humility, professionalism, and dedication to his craft. Meeting elite athletes like Ciryl reminds us that success at the highest level is built on discipline, consistency, hard work, and surrounding yourself with the right team.

At MSR Physical Therapy, we are passionate about helping athletes of all levels perform at their best, recover from injuries, and return stronger than ever. It is always inspiring to connect with world-class competitors who embody these values.
We want to wish Ciryl the very best this weekend. We will be cheering for a safe, healthy, and successful performance inside the Octagon!

🥋💪 Good luck, Ciryl!

We had an incredible time visiting Gillion Basketball Academy for a Sports Performance Seminar with their Grade 7–12 National-level Elite basketball Athletes.

At MSR, we believe performance is more than just skill — it’s about preparation, recovery, and longevity.

During our session, we discussed:
• Performance optimization strategies
• Smart recovery systems
• Injury prevention principles specific to basketball athletes
• How to build durability for a long competitive season
What stood out most was the quality of the athletes in the room. Focused. Engaged. Asking high-level questions. Hungry to learn.
When young athletes understand how to take care of their bodies early, they don’t just play harder — they play smarter and longer.
Thank you to Gillion Basketball Academy for the opportunity to invest in the next generation of athletes. We had a great time and look forward to continuing to support high-performance communities.

It was great catching up yesterday with a longtime student and friend, Ryan Downing. It is always special to reconnect with former students and see where their journeys have taken them.
Ryan is doing incredibly well as a travel physical therapist—
exploring amazing places, continuing to learn, and truly enjoying the process along the way. More importantly, he remains a dedicated clinician who is always striving to improve himself to deliver exceptional patient care.

We had not seen each other in nearly two years, but it honestly felt like yesterday. I am proud of the clinician Ryan has become and excited to see what lies ahead for him.

Wishing you continued success and great experiences, Ryan. Hope to see you again much sooner.

At MSR, we practice as a primary care for musculoskeletal injury, that means, when people have injury, they comes to us for assessment and appropriate treatment. Very rarely, they are in need of imaging that when physician are involved in their care. We assess and refer if needed for imaging or further assessment needs. More than 90% of the time, they needs rehab only. Physical Therapy are and can be primary care for musculoskeletal injury.

If you are sick, please go to MD/Physician, if you are injured, go to a Physical Therapist.
