Before we load the bar… we earn the hinge.

Practicing good hip hinge form with bands or a foam roller builds the foundation for a safe, strong deadlift.

1. Learn to move at the hips (not the low back)
2. Feel proper tension and alignment
3. Build confidence before adding weight
4. Reduce injury risk as loads increase

Bands and foam rollers give instant feedback. If the pattern breaks, you’ll feel it. Master the movement first, then load it up the right way.

Form before weight. Always. Not just for athletes but every human that bends & snaps. 🤗

Just a casual capture of our weekend workout. Injury prevention hits different when it’s your own child. I briefly worked with my son on soccer-specific strategies to reduce shin splints and keep him performing at his best.

I sometimes struggle to find terms he can understand but I value our time together and I am excited to watch him grow into a versatile athlete.

A Day in the Life of an Athletic Trainer with the Fire Department…

Every shift starts with one goal: keeping our firefighters healthy, strong, and ready for anything.

I stop into the station to check in with the crew; assessing aches, pains, and any job-related injuries that come with the demanding work they do. From mobility screens to quick treatments, we tackle issues early so they don’t grow into something bigger.

Then it’s onto training time. Each workout is designed with their job in mind: lifting, carrying, climbing, crawling, and moving in ways that mirror real fireground demands. Functional strength. Mobility. Injury-resistant movement patterns. That’s the focus.

Every visit is about bringing health to those that help us. I strive to give them tools to live, move, and thrive on their own terms. 🔥

Athletic trainers (ATs), personal trainers (PTs), and physical therapists (also often called PTs, though technically “physical therapists”) all work to improve people’s health, fitness, and physical function, but they differ in education, scope of practice, and professional setting.

The overlap in their titles and their focus on movement and rehabilitation is what often causes confusion.

We are wrapping up the completion of our clinic space, and with that comes an opportunity for Return to Play; a sweet spot for ATs. This is for the athlete wrapping up PT and needing to return to a sport yet still seeking guidance to build strength with sport-specific training. Whether a student, collegiate, or weekend warrior, return to play is necessary to reduce future injury.
