Low back not loving deadlifts right now? Try a different hinge. 🏋️

Russian kettlebell swings can be a more tolerable way to train power and posterior chain strength while still creating serious force.

It is not about avoiding hinges, it is about finding the right version for today.

👉 Test it out and see how your back responds.

As the weather finally cools off a bit the trails couldn't be any better right now! Unfortunately, injuries happen on the bike, but the good news is that most mountain biking injuries are both preventable and very fixable.

Here's what the research actually shows: in one of the largest injury-surveillance studies in the sport (119,000+ student-athlete-years), the injury rate was low — about 2.2% — and it dropped 27% over the study period as riders got smarter about preparation and protection. When injuries do happen, wrists/hands (23.2%), heads (23%), and shoulders/collarbones (15.9%) top the list.

The takeaway: you have more control than you think.

> Build grip, forearm, and shoulder strength — it's your best insurance against the most common MTB injuries
> Overuse issues like handlebar neuropathy and De Quervain's respond really well to targeted PT and small bike-fit changes
> Crash injuries recover faster with a structured, criteria-based return than with "wait and see"
> Colorado allows direct access — no referral needed to get evaluated fast

Our newest blog breaks down how to lower your risk and come back stronger!

Shoulder blade pain can be the warning sign before shoulder pain shows up.

Sometimes the issue starts upstream in the neck, changes how the shoulder blade works, and eventually overloads the shoulder itself.

Catching it early can keep a small problem from becoming a bigger one.

👉 If that inner shoulder blade ache keeps coming back, get it checked with RISE.

Front-of-knee pain with stairs or a slight knee bend? That pattern matters. 🦵

Patellofemoral pain is often less about “just strengthening the knee” and more about figuring out whether mobility, muscle control, or strength is driving the issue.

👉 If this sounds familiar, get it assessed instead of guessing.

A cortisone injection can reduce pain, but it does not automatically fix the cause.

The real opportunity is what you do once symptoms calm down: improve mobility, build strength, and address the overload that created the issue.

Relief is useful. A plan is what keeps you moving forward.

👉 Use the window wisely.

Golfer’s elbow isn’t just for golfers ⛳

Lifters, climbers, and cyclists get it too. It’s an overuse injury of the tendons on the INSIDE of your elbow — not the outside (that’s tennis elbow), and the two need different exercises.

✅ 85–95% of cases improve with the right conservative care
✅ Eccentric loading beats rest for lasting relief
✅ A full kinetic-chain check catches what generic wrist curls miss

Inner elbow pain limiting your swing, your lifts, or your climbing? Book a discovery call with a RISE PT — 60 minutes, one-on-one: rise-rsp.com/book-a-call

In Colorado, you do not need a referral to start PT. 📍✅

If you are dealing with an injury, you can go straight to a physical therapist for an evaluation, a plan, and guidance on next steps.

PT first can often mean faster recovery, lower costs, and better long-term results.

👉 Injured? Start with a conversation.

200 five-star reviews. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We didn’t open RISE to run another PT clinic. We opened it because we believe people deserve a full hour with a doctor of physical therapy who actually listens — and a plan that gets them back to the thing they love, not just “out of pain enough.”

The mission: help athletes of every age and ability recover, and then keep going past where they started.

These 200 reviews mean a lot to us and will continue to push us to keep going and to keep helping our community.

Thank you, Denver. Here’s to the next 200. 🤘

That front-of-ankle pinch on climbs? It might be a mobility issue. 🦶⛰️

When your ankle does not have enough room to move, trail running with lots of vert can start to feel tight, dull, or pinchy.

A little targeted mobility before your run may help create more space and reduce that irritation.

👉 Save this if uphill trails bother your ankles.

08/13/2026

Downhill running loads more than your legs. 🏃♂️⛰️

Your abs and hip flexors have to control your body as you move under load, especially on trails with descents.

Training that control can help your body handle the demands of running instead of compensating somewhere else.

👉 Try this 2x/week and see how your low back feels on the trails.
