🏒 NORTH DAKOTA HOCKEY CLUBS — WE CAN COME TO YOU!

I had a great opportunity to travel up to Watford City to work with McKenzie County Hockey Club and provide concussion baseline testing for their athletes!

As a physical therapist and concussion rehab specialist, I believe taking care of our athletes starts before an injury happens. Baseline testing helps establish a reference point that can be useful when evaluating a potential concussion later in the season.

At Unbound Physical Therapy & Performance, my goal is to make specialized services more accessible to hockey players and families across North Dakota — not just those in Bismarck.

Here’s how we can help your club and athletes:

🏒 Concussion Baseline Testing: I can travel to your hockey club to provide baseline testing for your athletes.

🧠 Virtual Concussion Rehab: Individualized guidance and rehabilitation for athletes recovering from a concussion, with virtual options available for eligible athletes.

💪 Virtual Strength & Conditioning: Customized training programs to help hockey players develop strength, speed, power, and athleticism.

👀 Virtual Neurovision Training: Programs designed to develop visual skills, coordination, and sport-specific performance.

You shouldn’t have to live in a big city to access specialized support for your athletes.

📍 Based in Bismarck, ND, and available to travel to hockey clubs throughout North Dakota for baseline testing, with virtual training and rehabilitation options for athletes beyond our local area.

Hockey directors, coaches, and parents: Want to bring baseline testing to your club or learn more about our virtual programs? Send me a message, and let’s talk!

🏃‍♂️ Bismarck Marathon 2026! 🏃‍♀️

What a weekend! We were excited to be part of the Bismarck Marathon and had the opportunity to support runners at our Unbound PT & Performance recovery booth.

From first-time marathoners to seasoned runners, we loved getting to meet so many athletes, hear their stories, and help them take care of their bodies after putting in the miles. 💪

We also want to give a special thank-you to the University of Mary physical therapy students who volunteered their time to help at our booth. Their support, enthusiasm, and willingness to connect with runners helped make the event such a great experience.

Running 26.2 miles is no small accomplishment. The training, early mornings, long runs, sore muscles, and mental toughness it takes to get to that finish line deserve to be celebrated.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to stretch, recover, and say hello and congratulations to every runner who crossed that finish line! 🏅

At Unbound, we believe recovery isn’t just about getting out of pain. It’s about helping you move better, perform better, and keep doing the things you love.

Break Your Chains. Move Unbound.

Your athlete feels better… but can they handle the intensity of their sport?

Returning to sport requires more than feeling fine during daily activities. Athletes must be able to tolerate increasing levels of physical exertion.

The Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test gradually increases exercise intensity while we monitor symptoms and heart rate. This helps assess how an athlete responds to exertion and whether they’re ready to progress toward sport-specific demands.

Feeling better is the first step.

Being ready for sport is the goal.

🧠 What if the “tough it out” approach is actually keeping an athlete from recovering?

September is International Concussion Awareness Month, and this is an important conversation for every athlete, parent, and coach.

A concussion is a brain injury and it doesn’t always look the way people expect.

You don’t have to lose consciousness.

You don’t always have a headache.

And two athletes with concussions may have completely different symptoms.

That’s why proper evaluation and individualized rehabilitation matter.

Throughout September, we are going to break down what athletes, parents and coaches need to know about:

🧠 Recognizing concussion symptoms
👀 Vision & concussion
⚖️ Vestibular and balance problems
🦴 The role of the neck
🏃 Exercise during concussion recovery
🏒 Return to sport
🛡️ Concussion prevention & risk reduction
📊 Baseline testing
🚨 When it’s time to seek an evaluation

Concussions are common, but knowing what to look for can make a real difference.

Follow along this month, and share this with a sports parent, coach, or athlete who needs to see it.

As a dad and a concussion specialist, I look at sports a little differently.

I don’t just want my kids to be good athletes. I want them to be prepared athletes.

Before my daughter steps onto the ice, we’re working on things like visual tracking, reaction, coordination, balance and processing speed through neurovision training.

Why?

Because the goal isn’t just to perform better.

It’s to build the systems that help athletes see, react, move and make decisions under pressure.

Can this guarantee my kids never get injured or never have a concussion? Absolutely not.

But if I can give them another tool to prepare their brain and body for the demands of their sport, I’m going to.

Performance and injury prevention don’t have to be separate goals.

That’s how I approach my athletes.

And it’s how I approach being a dad.

A concussion doesn’t just affect the way you feel. For some athletes, there may be changes in the way the brain and body work together—even after symptoms improve.

That’s one reason research has found an association between concussion history and increased risk of subsequent lower-extremity injury.

Recovery isn’t just getting an athlete symptom-free.

It’s progressively preparing them for the physical, visual, cognitive, and reactive demands of their sport.

Don’t just get back. Get back ready.

First Maah Daah Hey 25 ✅

This weekend I crossed the finish line of my first Maah Daah Hey 25, and it definitely lived up to its reputation.

The day started with an incredible sunrise over a 100 riders ready to tackle one of the best trail systems around. It didn’t take long before I realized this race was going to test me.

I battled a few mechanical issues, my quads locked up from dehydration, and the last several miles became a mental game as much as a physical one.

But a little over 3 hours later, I crossed the finish line.

One thing I love about events like this is that they remind you that progress isn’t always pretty. Sometimes it’s fixing problems on the fly, pushing through discomfort, and refusing to quit when things don’t go according to plan.

As a physical therapist, I spend a lot of time encouraging people to trust the process and keep moving forward. This weekend I got to live that lesson myself.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped put on an awesome event, and to my riding buddies for making the experience even better.

Now it’s time to recover… and start thinking about the next challenge. 🚵🤙

🏒 Season Starts Before Tryouts

The hockey season is won long before the puck drops.

The athletes who show up stronger, faster, and more confident don’t just skate more—they prepare beyond the ice.

That’s exactly why I created the Unbound Hockey Performance Academy.
Over 6 weeks, athletes ages 8–16 will work on:
 🏒 Speed & acceleration 💪 Strength & power ⚡ Agility & explosiveness 🧠 Movement quality & injury resilience 🚀 Confidence heading into tryouts

Every session is coached by a Doctor of Physical Therapy and designed specifically for hockey athletes—not generic fitness training.

Program Details
📅 6 Weeks 👥 Ages 8–16 ⏱️ 2 Coach-Led Sessions Per Week 📍 Unbound PT & Performance 👥 Only 8 athletes per group 💲 Founding Athlete Rate: $349

The small group format allows every athlete to receive individualized coaching, feedback, and progress throughout the program.

If you’re looking to help your athlete prepare for their best hockey season yet, I’d love to work with them.

📱 701-390-9773
 📧 [email protected]

Prepare Beyond the Ice. Perform On It.

Comment PRESEASON or send me a DM for more information or to reserve your athlete’s spot before the groups fill.

🧠 Concussion rehab isn’t about resting until you feel better. It’s about retraining the brain to perform under real-world demands.

In this drill, the athlete is:
🎾 Tracking and catching a tennis ball off the wall
🤲 Passing a second ball behind the back
🧠 Processing multiple tasks at the same time
⚡ Reacting quickly while maintaining coordination

Why does this matter?

Sports rarely require you to focus on just one thing. Athletes must process teammates, opponents, the puck or ball, make split-second decisions, and coordinate their movements all at the same time.

After a concussion, these skills can be slower or less efficient, even after symptoms improve.

That’s why we progressively challenge:
✅ Visual tracking
✅ Reaction time
✅ Hand-eye coordination
✅ Dual-task performance
✅ Cognitive processing under movement

This isn’t a drill for every athlete on day one. It’s one example of how we progress rehabilitation based on the athlete’s symptoms, examination findings, and performance.

Recovery isn’t just about feeling better, it’s about performing better when the game speeds up.

💬 Which sport do you think demands the most from an athlete’s visual processing and reaction time?
