Top Performance Physical Therapy I help functional fitness athletes rehab smarter, stay in the gym, and keep building strength without being sidelined.

Your pain has a pattern. It is not random and it is not a mystery. Pain shows up when certain positions, loads, or speeds expose gaps in control, strength, or mobility. When the pattern is understood, the fix becomes clear. Training doesn’t stop. It evolves. DM “TRAIN” to break the pattern that keeps coming back.

If your PT pulled you out of the gym, they missed the point. Athletes need strategy, not rest.

Training through pain safely requires understanding load, movement patterns, and smart progressions that keep strength moving forward.

Denver athletes deserve care that matches the way they train. DM “TRAIN” to stay in the gym and move toward pain-free performance.

Pain during squat, bench, or deadlift does not mean stopping training.

Most lifters stay stuck because they think pain means shut it down, when the solution is usually a smart modification. Changing stance, tool, tempo, or range keeps the pattern alive so progress continues without flare ups.

Training through pain safely is possible when the movement matches your current capacity. Modify the lift and keep moving forward.

Most fitness athletes don’t struggle because they’re “tight.”
They struggle because the muscles that should be controlling load aren’t strong enough in the positions that matter most.

Once that weak link gives out, pain shows up.
Once that link gets stronger, everything changes.

This shift has helped so many of my athletes break the cycle of recurring shoulder, knee, and low-back issues — and finally train with confidence again.

If you want the exact routine I use to rebuild strength at end-range and protect your joints during pressing, squatting, and pulling…
comment STRONGER and I’ll send it your way.

Train smarter. Lift pain-free. Keep your body performing the way you want it to.

Stop treating shoulder warm ups like a formality. Most shoulder pain shows up because the cuff cannot stabilize under load. When you train external rotation in multiple angles your overhead work, pressing strength, and lockout control all improve.

This routine builds activation before your session and true control after. Rotate through these consistently and your shoulders will feel stronger, more stable, and ready for heavy lifts.

If you want a full shoulder program built around strength through range and cuff endurance, send a message or book a call through the link in my bio.

What is your warm-up for overhead press?

11/12/2025

Before you squat, run, or deadlift, activate your body’s power pattern with this 2-minute wall drill.
Here’s how:

1. Place a mini band around your feet or ankles.
2. Lean into a wall, core tight, hands for support.
3. Drive one knee up (triple flexion: ankle, knee, hip), then press back strong (triple extension: foot, knee, hip locked).
4. Move with control - feel the glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors, and calves fire each rep!

Do 2 sets of 12-15 reps each side.

This fires up your squat and sprint muscles so you can train harder, move better, and avoid missed gym days.

You trained hard. You pushed limits. Then pain sidelined you.

But here's what most athletes don't know: traditional PT was NEVER designed for lifters like you.

I built something different. A 4-Phase progression that takes you from pain relief → movement mastery → performance integration → long-term resilience.

Don’t miss training because of pain. Smart modifications keep you strong and safe so you keep progressing. Want legitimate pain-free coaching? DM for details.

Hot take: Complete rest makes shoulder injuries WORSE. Traditional advice is stop all upper body training until pain is gone. Reality: Strategic loading speeds healing and maintains strength. Here is what actually works: Reduce load not volume. Modify angles and grips. Progressive tissue loading. Maintain strength in pain-free ranges. You do not need to stop training. You need a better plan. This is what performance PT looks like - keeping you in the gym while we fix the problem. Who has been told to just rest before?

Your rotator cuff is 4 muscles. Most lifters ignore 3 of them.

Here’s what each does—and why weak ones ruin your pressing.
