Return 2 Sport PT & Performance

Running is not always about running more. When preparing for a race or working on increasing your mileage including strength training to your routine will allow you to become a stronger, more efficient, and resilient runner.

Here’s why it matters:

Increasing your efficiency: Specific strengthening exercises will allow you to produce and absorb force more effectively throughout your run.
Better stability: By strengthening the hips, core, and lower legs you can improve your control
Injury resilience: Challenging your strength can enable your body to tolerate the repetitive loads of running.
Improved performance: Strength training can improve power and force production, helping you maintain your pace when fatigue increases
Where should you start?

Try incorporating at least 2 strength sessions per week focused on dynamic movements such as:

- Squats or split squats

- Romanian deadlifts

- Calf raises

- Step-ups

- Single-leg exercises

- Core strengthening

The right strength routine can help supplement your running program to maximize your potential and performance.

If you’re experiencing persistent or recurring pain, having difficulty returning to running after an injury, or need guidance on the proper strength program, we would love to support you and guide you on your journey.

Happy Tuesday! My name is Talbert and I recently joined the team here at Return 2 Sport. I hope all is starting well for you this week.

In today’s newsletter, I wanted to discuss our approach to rehab and how our detailed oriented process will enable you to recover faster, return to your desired sport/recreational activity quicker and develop necessary strategies to prevent future injuries.
Throughout your plan of care, we will analyze your movement impairments and determine the specific etiology of your symptoms.
We will be unique in our process by utilizing specific treatment interventions to improve your symptoms with a localized approach. However, we will also incorporate a holistic philosophy to address other areas that may be contributing to your movement dysfunction.
We value our patients and aim to provide the most effective treatment by strengthening our connections with you to personalize your care and maximize your outcomes.
To provide a little more insight on the care you will be receiving at Return 2 Sport PT, I would like to share a patient success story.
I previously had the privilege to work with a retired, highly trained member of the military. He was experiencing significant sciatic symptoms related to piriformis syndrome and also was dealing with lumbar spondylosis.
Therapy consisted of a targeted treatment approach utilizing dry needling, cupping, manual techniques, specific exercises interventions and properly educating him on his movement dysfunction and how to properly address his limitations. At the conclusion of our time together, he was able to return to all of his higher level workouts and active lifestyle with a significant improvement in his presenting symptoms and a greater knowledge of how to manage his symptoms independently and prevent further injuries moving forward.
Here at Return 2 Sport, we want to provide you with a unique plan to address your specific needs and help you getting back to doing what you love.

Did you know collagen can reduce joint pain and support bone health?

🥬 Nutrition and eating should always support your needs, that doesn’t ALWAYS mean with flavor or comfort. That is good; but let’s mix in some other things that serve us, like boosting collagen production!

With school back in session, schedules get busier, practices ramp up, and weekends fill with games. Small issues have a way of becoming season-ending problems when they’re ignored.

Don’t spend another season hoping it gets better on its own.

At Return 2 Sport PT, we help athletes and active adults get ahead of injuries—not just react to them.

As teams get back into practices, everyone is working on speed, strength, and conditioning.

But one of the biggest competitive advantages is often overlooked...

How well your body moves.

Our Injury & Performance Screens identify:

Mobility restrictions
Strength imbalances
Stability deficits
Movement patterns that increase injury risk
Think of it like a preseason physical—but one that actually helps improve performance.

Whether you’re a middle school athlete, high school competitor, or weekend warrior, knowing where your body needs work can help you stay healthy and perform better all season.

Let’s book you an Injury & Performance Screen today, we want this season to be the best yet.

So you’ve found yourself injured and haven’t been able to work out or stay active as you would like?
You’re not alone. It happens all the time!
But what you do when you do get injured is what matters the most, and often times can be the best catalyst for your recovery.
Most people think that rest is going to be the thing that helps them heal and recover from injuries. To some extent, that is true, but rest can be the worst prescription for healing injuries too.
Rest is bad?
No, that’s not true either. Rest is not meant to mean “absolutely nothing.” The word rest needs to be understood more as a term for “deloading.”
Movement is medicine. Your body not only craves movement, it thrives on it. All the systems of the body operate better when we move. Your metabolic system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, and lymphatic system all operate worse with rest and better with activity. Movement stimulates them to do the job required to operate at a high level.
At the end of the day, movement helps create a healthier cellular environment. It brings oxygen and nutrients into the cells and helps move metabolic waste out of the cells while sending signals to regulate inflammation and tissue repair.
So when the doc says just rest, don’t listen!
Deload.
Focusing more on healthy movement is going to be the catalyst your body needs to heal.
Make sure the other pillars of health are in good shape also. This includes sleep, diet, hydration, lifestyle, and stress.
If you’re unsure how to navigate the injury process we would be glad to help! Whether it’s a phone call to get you going the right direction or coming in for hands-on care, we would be glad to help you solve your pain for good.
