We are SO pumped to welcome Clara Rienhoff to the team as our Operations Lead & Patient Coordinator!

Clara brings a TON of knowledge and valuable experience:

She started her career as a Nutritionist, Personal Trainer, and S&C Coach, then moved into gym operations — managing the day-to-day of a CrossFit and S&C facility, before stepping into a bigger arena with EXOS, where she led marketing, member engagement, and community health initiatives across large-scale fitness centers.

And she’s always been an active participant and strategic supporter of her husband’s business and weightlifting pursuits ‼️

She’s joining our team to oversee our operations, run the behind-the-scenes of made 2 move, and make sure every patient has an incredible experience with us.

We are extremely grateful to have her on our team.

Clara loves to cook, read, workout, go to the beach, and hang with her husband, two pups Carl & Beatrice, and her cat, Tia (named after the 🐐 )

Clara and her husband moved to Charleston in November and love exploring the area — send her ALL the recommendations & give her a big (worm) welcome below 🫶🏼⬇️

Part 2 of the hip pinching series is here - and this one has the actual fix.

Last week I explained why stretching your hip flexors probably isn't solving the problem. This week - here's what to do instead.

The 3-step approach we use with patients:

1. Assess

What movements are painful?
Is it position, load, or both?
What's changed in your training recently?

2. Calm it down

Modify your squat - try a box squat or heel-elevated squat (less hip flexion = less irritation)
Swap deadlifts for RDLs, block pulls, or trap bar
Keep training - just lower the dose temporarily

3. Build it up

Target the hip flexors with progressive loading exercises
Address any mobility deficits in the hip, knee, or ankle
Build back into full squatting gradually based on how your body responds

Hip pain doesn't mean something is torn. It doesn't mean you can never squat again.
It means something needs to be adjusted - and now you have a plan.

If you’re a runner with shin splints stuck in the frustrating run → pain → rest → repeat cycle... this is for you.

✅ Comment SHIN for our full guide to shin splints and we’ll send it to your DMs!

shin splints aren’t a stretching problem or a “just rest & ice more” problem.

they’re a loading problem - they’re a loading problem - your load exceeded your capacity.

and rest just temporarily removes the load, but it doesn’t build the capacity… so the second you go back to running, you’re right back where you started.

If you want the full guide on what to do instead, comment SHIN!

Most runners with pain are told one of four things:

1. “Stop running, it’s bad for you.”
2. “It’s just wear and tear.”
3. “You’re too old to be running.”
4. “You just need to stretch more.”

Which in our opinion, is hot, outdated garbage 🔥🗑️

‼️ Comment RUN and we’ll send ya our complete guide to get out of pain and back to running!

Your pain doesn’t mean you’re damaged.

It means your body was asked to handle more than it was ready for.
 
We don’t need to eliminate stress. We need to manage it and prepare for it.

Most runners take a few days or weeks off… then jump back in… and the pain comes right back.

Why?

Because they didn’t change the thing that caused the pain in the first place.
 
👉🏻 When we take time off without solving the underlying problems, we get stuck in a frustrating cycle.

Just because you have pain, injuries, or something scary on imaging, DOESN’T mean you have to give up running — you CAN get back to it without pain.

When Ashtyn came in she was struggled with ankle instability, hip pain, and shoulder issues that were preventing her from training for pickleball the way she wanted to.

She was told she’d need hip surgery and had tried PT before only with minor improvement before coming to see us.

She really wanted to be proactive about her health and body, and not reactive, and wanted to feel stronger and have no fear with movement

Now, she’s crushing pickleball, playing in tournaments, and even made nationals last fall! No surgery needed 🤓

Ashtyn, we’re so proud of you and grateful we got to help you get back to doing what you love and stay active & healthy for life!

If you feel a pinch in the front of your hip at the bottom of a squat - this is for you.

Most people assume the problem is tight hip flexors. So they stretch. And stretch. And stretch some more.

Here's the thing though:

At the bottom of a squat, your hip flexors are already in a shortened position. So trying to make them "longer" with stretching doesn't actually make sense for this problem.

That pinchy, tight feeling in the front of your hip is usually a sign that your tissues are overloaded or irritated - not that something is torn or that you need to stop squatting.

It's like... they're hangry.

This week's blog breaks down:
Why hip pinching happens in a squat
Why the couch stretch isn't fixing it
What's actually going on in your tissues

Part 2 drops next week with 3 steps to fix it and exercise examples that have helped our patients get back to squatting without hip pain.

When Kimber came in she had been dealing with chronic shoulder instability, recurring subluxations, and flare ups

As a pilates instructor she really wanted to prevent future flare ups so she could teach and workout without limitations

A couple months later, she’s having minimal pain and we’ve been pushing her upper body strength exercises more. Now, we’re working on more advanced pilates movements and she’s crushing it!

So proud of you Kimber and pumped to see you making progress 🫶🏼

there’s nothing better than getting back to running without pain ✅🏃🏻‍♀️💥

The words we use are SO important because they affect our actions

and our actions & the way we respond to pain makes a HUGE difference in how we actually HEAL and recover from it

When people say rotator cuff tear, it usually means 1 or 2 of these muscles have some muscle FIBERS that have been injured.

It does NOT mean your muscles have been ripped in half — but that’s naturally pretty scary, right??

As a physical therapist, I think the term rotator cuff tear does NOT do a great job accurately explaining what a rotator cuff injury actually is

We’ve seen so many patients come in with a “rotator cuff tear” diagnosis get back to lifting and living their life without any limitations.

PS. ‼️Comment SHOULDER ⬇️ for exercises, an example rehab plan, and answers to your burning rotator cuff questions
