Getting Ethan ready for another Hunger vs. Hunger never gets old.

Every year I’m impressed by the amount of work he puts in—not just for the event itself, but for the cause behind it. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll keep dialing things in, making sure his body is ready for the demands of July 24–25 as he tackles his attempt at breaking a world record.

Our preparation has included targeted manual therapy to optimize tissue quality and joint mobility, helping him move as efficiently as possible while staying ready for the incredible workload ahead.

We’ve also incorporated objective performance testing using our VALD Dual ForceDecks and VALD Dynamo. These tools allow us to measure strength, force production, asymmetries, and performance using the same standardized approach trusted by elite sports organizations, helping ensure he’s not only feeling good—but performing at a high level.

It’s always an honor to play a small role in helping someone who gives so much back to our community.

Good luck, Ethan. We’ll all be cheering you on.

A shoutout to Ben Leonard for capturing these moments!

As we prepare to tackle the in-person workshop in September with Ben Ashworth, we are featuring the ASH TEST this week in our education. Have a read. I have also provided several reading references if you’d like to dive deeper in this.

Some journeys demand more than talent.

They demand patience, consistency, and the resilience to keep showing up every single day.

River embodies all of that.

Watching him commit to the process and earn his way back to the baseball field has been a privilege. Every step forward was built through hard work, discipline, and trust in the process.

We’re incredibly proud of the resilient athlete—and young man—you’ve become.

Welcome back to baseball, River. Go enjoy every inning. ⚾️

Supporting Local Art + Local Talent

One of our favorite things about Praxis is creating a space that feels welcoming, inspiring, and uniquely Bellingham. We’re incredibly proud to feature the beautiful work of local artist Lexi Korobkin of Lexi Korobkin | Koro Illustration on the wall of our treatment room!

Her detailed illustrations of Pacific Northwest wildlife perfectly capture the beauty of the place we call home and add a calming, thoughtful touch to our treatment spaces.

Supporting local artists and small businesses is part of who we are, and we’re honored to showcase Lexi’s work for our patients to enjoy every day.

Thank you, Lexi, for sharing your talent with our community and helping make Praxis feel even more like home.

Well… this is pretty surreal.

You voted us the 2026 Cascades Best Gold Winner for Best Physical Therapy Clinic, and we’re incredibly grateful.

Praxis started as a one-man operation renting one day a week inside Barkley Massage & Chiropractic with Dr. Todd Luther. From there, we grew alongside Jett Movement Academy, then found our home next to Basecamp Fitness thanks to Anthony Hamilton.

Today, our team has 3 more incredible clinicians, and we’ve expanded to a second location inside Anytime Fitness Barkley with co-owner Charley Fraser and his incredible crew.

What began as a small vision for one-on-one, evidence-based care has become an amazing community of athletes, active adults, families, coaches, physicians, students, and local businesses who trust us with their recovery and performance.

This year has been especially meaningful as we’ve had the privilege of deepening our commitment to local athletes, working closely alongside the coaching and medical staffs of WWU Men’s Rugby and WWU Track & Field to help support their health, performance, and return to sport.

We’ve had the privilege of helping people return to marathons and races, rugby matches, mountain bike trails, CrossFit workouts, pickleball courts, ski slopes, and occasionally just getting off the couch without making that noise.

This award isn’t just ours. It belongs to every patient who showed up on the hard days, every athlete who trusted the process, every physician and coach who collaborated with us, and everyone who has supported our clinic along the way.

Thank you for sharing our story, believing in our mission, and trusting us with your care.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have some glutes to strengthen, shoulders to test, and a few people to remind that yes… their home exercises still matter.

Thank you, Bellingham.

We’re excited to officially announce that PRAXIS Physical Therapy #2 is now open in Barkley Village.

This new location was built with the same mission that started Praxis from day one:
high-quality, individualized, evidence-based care focused on helping people move better, recover stronger, and return confidently to the activities they love.

We’re incredibly proud to partner with Anytime Fitness Barkley Village to create a space that bridges rehabilitation, performance, strength training, and long-term health. Having access to a modern gym environment allows us to better integrate real-world movement, strength development, return-to-sport progressions, and performance-based rehabilitation into patient care.

This expansion allows us to continue growing while staying true to what matters most:
• 1-on-1 care
• 60-minute sessions
• Objective testing and data-driven rehab
• Strength and conditioning integration
• Return-to-sport and return-to-life focus
• A welcoming and inclusive environment for every patient

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing pain, training for competition, returning to running, or simply trying to move better and stay active, we’re grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the Bellingham community in a second location.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Praxis Physical Therapy along the way — our patients, athletes, local partners, coaches, healthcare providers, and community.
