When a patient comes in frustrated by long term injury, they’ve often tried a whole range of treatment modalities already. They’ve been dry needled, gone through a rehab plan, maybe even had a cortisone or PRP injection already.

Rightfully so, they feel like nothing is going to help. For these patients, my approach has to change to really listen to what this patient is after so that I can tailor my plan to match their goal.

No practitioner has a magic exercise or massage technique, but the best know exactly what tools to use and when to use them.

Ran through a Lactate Threshold test with to help determine metrics like my VO2 max, anaerobic and aerobic thresholds and my optimal training zones as I get prepped for the

Having this data will help me get my pace and heart rate zone training accurate during my half mara block.

Changing my handle to “The Chameleon Chiro” 😂

My wife tells me I have a very distinct patient voice that changes depending on who I’m talking to.

So much of running a practice is time consuming process and procedure. Playing around with AI a lot for has made me think about all of the manual handling we do for the clinic.

Here’s 3 things I’ve use Claude for so far to improve our clinical operations. Obviously in a clinical setting, patient information is paramount and so some heavy guardrails need to be in place with what information can be accessed.

I completed my Masters of Exercise Science in 2020 for the same reason - having a robust knowledge of everything an athlete or runner does as part of their training means that I am the most equipped to help them get back to doing what they love after injury! ✌🏼

I always hear this debate between formal learning and experience. I believe years of experience backed by formal knowledge is the winning combo. I’ve been working with runners for over 10 years, but is always been from an injury perspective. Going deeper into the coaching/training side just adds another layer for me.

I used to work in clinic 6 days a week and wonder why my business struggled to grow.

Now I have 2 dedicated business days to split between running both and and I feel like I don’t have enough time still!

If we hurt our knee or shoulder, we intuitively know that we need to strengthen it to ensure high quality of life and function of the joint.

So why do we treat the neck differently? The spine is often seen as a fragile area instead of the robust structure it is. Building strength and endurance in the neck is super important.

After my work in rugby and with combat athletes, I’ve done a deep dive into neck strength, particularly around flexion-to-extension strength ratios and I’ll be putting up some info and exercises soon!
