I HOPE this is a typical Saturday moving forward 😅

subs were somehow better than expected even with all the hype and it was only like 9 dollars??? (Some sort of deal today)

Anyway, actually start working on Monday so it’s time to resume real life

What do you guys get on your pub subs? 🤔

First week at a new gym is ALWAYS fun 😅

Completely forgot to add a scene about trying out all the random machines you’ve never seen before 😂 this is probably what doubles the workout time…

What’s your favorite part of joining a new gym? 👇

No, it’s not an insane warm-up routine 😅

It’s seeing someone who’s clearly dealing with an injury and still showing up and doing what they can.

They probably feel awkward benching with crutches next to them or biking with a boot on, but it’s so much better to stay consistent than to become completely sedentary while you heal.

Now I am a PT, so quick caveat: always consult with your PT to make sure you’re not risking further injury. But 99% of the time, there is something you can still train.

Something is always better than nothing.

If you’re that person limping from machine to machine, just know I love to see it 🫡

Day 1 – New routines 🌴

First full day in Pensacola and priority 1 was finding a gym… 2 was food. Got both handled, so the rest of the day was just exploring and getting a feel for the area.

I start working next Monday so this week is all about settling in. Probably a lot of biking and lifting, maybe some golf, and checking out some food spots around here.

Any recommendations are appreciated ⬇️⬇️

PTs know this conversation all too well 😅

I’ve always wondered why some patients are given graphic analogies about their imaging results…

I love a little humor BUT in this scenario it can up creating a lot of fear around movement and turn into a whole cycle of anxiety/avoidance.

What’s the craziest analogy you’ve heard for imaging results? 👇

Getting licensed in different states as a travel PT‼️

One of the not-so-fun parts of travel PT is getting licensed in each state you go to.

Luckily, there’s a compact license that makes things MUCH easier and covers 30+ states. Unfortunately for me… the first state I’m heading to is Florida, which is not part of the compact and has a very thorough licensing process.

This is something that should get easier the more I do it, and I’ll probably try to stick to compact states moving forward. But if you’re considering travel PT, just know licensing is a real factor 😅 it takes time, costs money, and can vary a lot depending on the state.

I’m switching to Travel Physical Therapy ‼️

There are really 2 main reasons I made this decision:

• I want to travel and experience new places, people, and environments with my GF
• The pay increase with travel PT is significant

When I said “nothing is tying me to this area” in the video, I meant more in terms of BIG commitments like a house, mortgage, or kids keeping me here right now.

Most of my family and friends are here, and that part is definitely hard to leave, but I’ll absolutely be back. This just feels like the right time in life to try something new and take advantage of the opportunity to travel.

I’m really excited for this chapter and plan to share as much of it as I can with you all. The good, the bad, and everything in between.

If you’ve ever had questions about travel PT, drop them below or DM me and I’ll make videos on it moving forward 👇

Shoulder clicking?? Yeah… just ignore that

Weddings are a GREAT place to work on your subjective exam skills 😂

R2P, it’s been a pleasure 🤝

Wrapping up just under 2 years at an awesome company. Learned more than I can put into words and was given way more creative freedom and autonomy than I ever expected 😅 really grateful for that.

Shoutout to and the whole team for that trust, and to everyone I worked with daily… appreciate you guys for putting up with me 😂

Columbia clinic had some elite days. Pretty standard for the music to go from Alice In Chains to Katy Perry to Brad Paisley to Drake to Nickelback all within 30 minutes.

It’s the people that make a place special—and that’s what made my time here so great. 🫡

Big change coming next… more on that soon.

Not all PT clinics are built the same!!

Bad experiences happen in every industry, but it seems like almost everyone has a PT horror story.

Sometimes it’s just a bad PT/patient fit… but a lot of the time, it comes down to the clinic itself.

Here are some green flags for a great PT experience 👇

• Objective testing (not guessing)
• Clinicians trained and mentored to interpret results
• Rehab plans based on actual deficits found in testing
• Real time spent with your PT (not constantly passed off)
• A clinic engaged with its community

There are obviously a ton of other factors that make rehab successful, but these stand out and all of these are exactly what you’ll find at

Today was my final day there after a little over a year and a half. It’s been an incredible journey with tons of knowledge, memories, and creative freedom I never expected to be given. Truly, no one does it better 🫡

These days are always the most chaotic 😅

Once you ditch the laptop all together you start to feel free… then, at the end of the day, the EMR starts working again 😵‍💫
