Huge thank you to our clinical student, Emily, who gave us a wonderful inservice on bone stress injuries and return to run/impact. We talked all things REDs, cortical versus trabecular bone, high/low risk sites, healing timelines, deload weeks, plyometric intervention and everything in between.

Thank you for a great 14 weeks! If you see Emily in the clinic today, be sure to give her a high five as she has officially wrapped up her time with us.

Get to Know Our Team 👇 (Admin Edition)

Last, but certainly not least: Janna Gardner—our behind-the-scenes MVP

With 10+ years as a personal trainer, Janna has always been about helping people reach their goals—now she makes sure every patient at NERSC has a smooth, stress-free experience from the very first call.

She’s the friendly voice on the phone, the one keeping schedules, billing, and communication running seamlessly, and the reason everything feels organized before you even walk in.

Her favorite part? Helping patients feel at ease right away—especially when they’re coming in nervous after an injury or surgery.

Pro tips from Janna:
👉 Fill out your intake ahead of time
👉 Come ready with your schedule + info
👉 Wear comfortable clothes (think workout-ready)

Her approach in 3 words: Compassion. Clarity. Efficiency.

Outside of work, she’s chasing her toddler during the day and unwinding with her husband at night—the perfect balance 💛

Happy Birthday, Nancy! 🎉

From all of us at NERSC— We hope your day is as strong as your lifts and as fun as your runs. You bring the best energy to the clinic (and the best Spotify playlists), keep our whiteboard stocked with cartoons, and somehow power it all with coffee, buffalo chicken and good food.

We appreciate every mile you’ve driven and everything you bring to the team—and we know Rose is getting some extra birthday steps in today too!

Have the best day, Nancy!! 💪🎂

End-stage ACL rehab is about reconnecting everything—movement, timing, and confidence.

Low defender mindset: react, mirror, disrupt.
�Working reactionary change of direction through live reads, tight mirrors, and controlled contact—because that’s what the game demands.

Here, we are using game-like examples from clears to crease defense and ground balls into 1v1.

(Please excuse the PT’s lack of attacking skills, she was a defender 🤣)

Get to Know Our PT’s 👇

Last but not least: Julie (Hubbard) Clancey, PT, DPT, MS, CSCS

Julie’s path into PT started early—growing up around healthcare and then experiencing it firsthand after an ACL tear at 16. Add in her background as a soccer player exposed to high-level rehab, and the direction was clear.

She’s all about:
✔️ Working with high-level athletes and building up the next generation
✔️ Taking “uncoordinated” 13–17 year olds and turning them into machines
✔️ Long-term development, not just quick fixes

Her go-to? Side plank variations for everyone
Her hot take? Jefferson curls… not making the program 👀

Treatment style in 3 words:
👉 “Yes, you can.”

Biggest reminder from Julie:
👉 Clearance isn’t the finish line—return to sport is a continuum
👉 The habits that get you back are the ones that keep you there

Something she wants every client to understand:
👉 Stress is stress is stress—training, life, sleep—it all impacts recovery

Outside the clinic, she’s running, lifting to support it, and getting her steps in with her dogs Rover and Mika 🐾

That’s a wrap on our team—thanks for getting to know us!
