Stress is not a negative term. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.

Stress is awesome! It makes us feel alive. It gives us a sense of agency. It encourages us to improve and gives us feedback when we’re not.

But that doesn’t mean more is better.

We should be looking to MANAGE our stress, exposing ourselves to enough to adapt but not so much that we drown.

Easier said than done, I know.

The bucket analogy is one of my all time favorites.

Stress is water in, how we take care of ourselves is water out.

The goal isn’t to have an empty bucket or a full bucket, but to keep the ecosystem of flowing water in balance.

Balancing how much stress you take on with how able you are at recovering from it is the goal of any athlete or person.

If you’re not sure where to start… that’s what I do best.

4.5 months after knee surgery and this is the first time hitting every club in my bag. Not worried about the swing (for now), just excited to be swinging pain free.

Next stop: 18!

You work hard in the gym

You show up every day

You give that 1 hour of exercise everything you’ve got

And that’s where the good habits end

You overindulge in processed foods and don’t make the time to cook

You sit at work all day and don’t make the effort to walk or take the stairs

You stay up late on your phone getting only 6 or 7 hours of sleep

You spend an hour or two a day in the car but never stretch when you get home

You work so hard in that 1 hour just to let your other 23 hours steal your gains

Why?

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man a to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

If we treat your knee just to get rid of pain, you’ll feel better for a day.

But if we treat your knee AND fix the habits, load, and dose that caused the injury, you’ll feel better forever.

When I work with someone to evaluate their problem, I look at both ends of the spectrum.

Sure we’re going to try and do the things we can to make you better today. But we’re also going to talk about doing the things that will help you in the future.

Doing both of those is the difference between getting back to “normal”, or evolving.

Growth.

I forgot to put clips on so I had to gaslight her into thinking we don’t need them (we do need them 👍)

When your knee hurts? Is it really the knees’ fault?

Should you treat the knee? Or maybe address the ankle stiffness? Should you get surgery on old ankle sprain you never rehabbed? Should you stop playing, or just reduce how much? Should you start warming up? What should you do?

Should you do all of these things? Probably…

What if you don’t have time and want to do just the things that will make an impact on how you feel?

Then you should probably talk to me so I can help you thoroughly assess what the problem is, why it’s there, and put in place a bulletproof plan to fix it.

Don’t wait for things to get worse, use your health as an opportunity to improve.

Every one of these stretches was prescribed specifically for her body and goals.

When someone comes to me with an injury, the first thing I do is a full body musculoskeletal assessment. I measure the range of motion of every major joint and test for stability at important junctions.

Then they get a corrective stretching program which is aimed at improving the restrictions of mobility that were found in the assessment. So many of our body’s dysfunctions can me improved by systematically assessing their restrictions.

Then, after an assessment and corrective program, do we start rehabilitation or training.

A process I’ve used for 10 years to help my clients get out of pain and back to the activities they love

Save this and answer it honestly any time you feel stuck.

The first couple are easy. The last few are where the truth hides.

Which one is holding you back?

The beauty of my career is that every lesson I learned doesn’t get superseded by the next one. It’s not like because I started working more strength & conditioning I lose the value of sport medicine knowledge.

It’s the combination of these lessons that allow me to simplify my approach. I’m not trying to fix a load issue with manual therapy. I’m not trying a lifestyle issue through tissue capacity solutions.

It’s made me elite at understanding the person in front of me, diagnosing what their BIGGEST issue is, and implementing targeted solutions to help.
