🚦 Should you push through pain, or stop?

Here’s what the research actually says:
👉 Mild, tolerable discomfort (3–5/10) that eases with warm-up and returns to baseline by the next day? That’s often safe — and sometimes better for long-term results.
👉 Sharp, stabbing, or worsening pain that lingers > 24 hours? 🚫 That’s your cue to adjust, not grind through.

This is called the Pain Monitoring Model — a proven way to train smarter, keep loading, and avoid setbacks.

⚡ Train smarter, not softer.

Parenthood changes everything - your time, your energy, even your body. But you don’t need hours in the gym to get back to feeling strong. 💪

Start small, focus on strength through everyday movements, and make fitness a family thing. 🍼👶 Stroller walks, floor play, short strength circuits, it all counts.

You don’t need to chase your “old self.” You’re building a stronger version that fits your life now.

My alarm clock has a name now—she’s 10 months old and wakes us up at 5:45am every morning.

This first Father’s Day, I’ve learned that strength looks different:

I’m a physical therapist, but I still burned out hard.

Between launching my business and learning how to be a dad, I hit a wall. I was drained, out of shape, and spiraling into burnout while trying to coach others on performance.

What saved me? Getting back to the basics:
✅ 3 strength sessions/week
✅ Zone 2 cardio
✅ Recalibrated macros
✅ Earlier nights

I rebuilt my energy and clarity—not with perfection, but with consistency.

When I became a new dad and simultaneously launched my concierge physical therapy practice, I felt ready. I had a plan, years of clinical experience, and a drive to make it all work. But as weeks turned into months, the pressure mounted. I was working long hours, managing documentation, marketing la...

Let’s be honest — most adults don’t have the time (or energy) to hit the gym six days a week. Between work, family, stress, and trying to get some sleep, training often becomes the first thing to go. But that doesn’t mean your health and performance should take a back seat.

Experiencing muscle tightness or inhibited activation post-injury or surgery? Combining dry needling with neuromuscular facilitation offers a potent solution. 

Immediate Muscle Function Enhancement
A case study revealed that DN targeting the infraspinatus muscle led to increased muscle thickness and strength immediately post-treatment, as measured by rehabilitative ultrasound imaging . 

Efficient Muscle Activation
Research indicates that DN applied to latent trigger points in the gluteus medius can significantly boost force production while reducing the required muscle activation during contraction, suggesting more efficient neuromuscular performance . 

Enhanced Recovery and Performance
Integrating DN with NMF exercises can restore proper movement patterns, improve coordination, and accelerate recovery, making it especially beneficial for athletes and individuals recovering from musculoskeletal injuries . 

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in movement and biomechanics, I employ these techniques to help patients regain optimal function and performance.
