January is a time when people ramp things back up...running, lifting, getting back into routines. A quick reminder that consistency beats intensity! Take care of the small things no so they don't turn into bigger ones later.

Thankful for the opportunity to continue growing as an Active Release Techniques instructor.

After more than a decade of teaching, I've been given the chance to take on an expanded role on the team in 2026!

I’m thankful for the mentors and colleagues along the way and the students who keep raising the bar. Looking forward to continuing to learn, teach, and give back to the profession.

The New Year isn’t about doing everything differently sometimes it can just be about taking a little better care of yourself.

As you get back into routines, training, work, and life, coming in to see Dr. Sherman or Adrian can be a simple part of staying ahead of aches and nagging issues before they turn into bigger problems.

We love helping you move and feel better! So that you can keep doing the things you enjoy!

Here’s to a healthy, strong start to the New Year.

In early October, I had the chance to teach an Active Release Techniques seminar here in Dallas alongside Dr. Maloy. Always fun working with motivated docs, massage therapists, ATC's and PT's who want to sharpen their hands-on skills and help their patients feel better.

It’s fun seeing lightbulb moments when someone feels a restriction release for the first time and even better knowing those skills will make a difference.

Big thanks to everyone who came out to learn (and for putting up with my bad anatomy jokes).

Lateral Foot Pain

Here’s a fun anatomy fact: the abductor digiti minimi (the small muscle on the outer side of your foot that moves your pinky toe) actually has a fascial connection to the peroneus longus tendon. This is something I learned in Active Release Techniques Level 2 Courses!

That means when the peroneus longus, the muscle that runs along the outside of your leg and helps stabilize your arch and helps you push off, gets tight or irritated, it can pull on structures all the way down into the foot. Over time, that tension can lead to lateral foot pain, pinky toe irritation, or even contribute to overpronation and ankle instability.

What you might notice:
Pain or tightness along the outside of the foot or ankle
Irritation when pushing off during walking or running
Tenderness when rolling the outside of the calf or foot

Things that can help:
Wearing shoes with good lateral support
Rolling or releasing the outer calf and bottom of the foot
Strengthening the peroneals and intrinsic foot muscles
Getting soft tissue work to free up those fascial connections

In the clinic, we assess the entire chain and use Active Release Techniques (especially the Level 2 protocols) and adjustments to restore balance and take pressure off the structures. Sometimes it’s not just one muscle; it’s how they’re all connected.

Piriformis & the Sciatic Nerve

Not all “sciatica” comes from the low back. In some cases, the piriformis muscle, a small stabilizer deep in the hip, can irritate or compress the sciatic nerve as it passes underneath (or occasionally through) the muscle.

When that happens, it can mimic a disc issue or nerve root problem, but the true cause is muscular.

What you might notice:
Deep ache in the buttock that can radiate down the leg
Pain sitting for long periods or when driving
Relief with standing or moving around
Tightness or tenderness when pressing on the glute area

Things that can help:
Stretching the piriformis gently (without forcing range)
Strengthening the glutes and core to reduce compensation
Avoiding prolonged sitting when possible
Using a lacrosse ball or foam roller on the glute area

In the clinic, we evaluate the full nerve pathway and treat both the piriformis and surrounding structures with Active Release Techniques, dry needling, soft tissue therapy, and adjustments to reduce nerve tension and recreate normal movement.

It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming our first patients. Ten years later, here we are, still doing what we love. Thank you to our patients for trusting us, to our friends and families for cheering us on, and to our amazing team for going the extra mile every single day.

One of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been sharing what we know. Teaching Active Release Techniques has allowed us not only to help our own patients heal, but also to train other providers and spread the benefits far and wide. Watching people move more freely and live without pain.

We’re grateful to have been invited to serve in the BMW Dallas Marathon community and to support places like The Jewish Community Center and Temple Emanu-El. These volunteer roles help give back to the neighborhoods that have embraced us from day one.

Here’s to ten years of growth, learning, and service. We can’t wait to see what the next decade brings. Thank you all for making this possible.

If you’ve ever felt numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand, especially at night or while typing, it might be carpal tunnel syndrome. This happens when the median nerve gets compressed as it passes through a small tunnel in your wrist.

A quick anatomy note: the median nerve starts up in your neck, runs down the arm, through the forearm, and finally passes through the carpal tunnel at the wrist to supply the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger. Because it travels such a long path, irritation can happen at the wrist and higher up in the arm or neck.

What you might notice:
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
Weak grip strength (dropping objects, trouble opening jars)
Hand pain that’s worse at night
Relief when shaking out the hand

A few simple things that can help:
Taking breaks from repetitive activities like typing or gripping
Stretching and mobilizing the forearm muscles
Paying attention to posture at your desk (slouched shoulders can irritate the nerve higher up)
Wearing a neutral-position wrist brace at night if symptoms are worse while sleeping

In the clinic, we trace the entire nerve pathway of the nerve...from the neck to the wrist, to see where it is getting irritated. Treatment may include Active Release Techniques, nerve glides, soft tissue therapy, and adjustments to free up the nerve and reduce pressure. The goal is to restore normal movement, decrease irritation, and get your hand working comfortably again.

Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints we see and a lot of the time, the rotator cuff is the culprit. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that stabilize your shoulder and help with lifting and rotating your arm. When they get irritated or overloaded, simple things like reaching overhead or sleeping on your side can get painful fast.

What you might notice:
-Pain lifting your arm overhead or reaching behind you
-Weakness when throwing, serving, or pressing weights
-Achy pain at night, especially when lying on that shoulder
-Clicking or popping with movement

A few simple things that can help:
-Staying consistent with good posture and avoiding “slouched” positions
-Strengthening the smaller stabilizing muscles around the shoulder
-Rolling or stretching the pecs and lats to take pressure off the cuff
-Modifying overhead activity until the irritation calms down

In the clinic, we evaluate how your shoulder is moving and treat with Active Release Techniques, soft tissue therapy, and adjustments to restore motion and reduce stress on the rotator cuff. The goal is to calm the pain, improve function, and get you back to the activities you love.
