I am not much of a drinker, but pour yourself a cup of ambition because between seeing patients, shoveling the walkway, and hunting for receipts, we’ve earned this drink.

January as a small business life is a whole different kind of workout. Cheers to everyone else keeping it together! 💪🏼✨

When we talk about athletic performance, we often focus on power, speed, and endurance. But there is a “silent” skill that often makes the difference between a good athlete and a great one: Hand-Eye Coordination.

Whether it’s a quarterback threading a needle, a baseball player tracking a 95mph fastball, or a gymnast sticking a landing, the ability to process visual information and turn it into precise physical movement is everything.

Why it matters

1. Reaction Time: Better coordination means faster responses to unpredictable movements.

2. Injury Prevention: Athletes with high spatial awareness are better at adjusting their bodies in mid-air or on uneven ground, reducing the risk of awkward falls.

3. Skill Efficiency: When your brain and hands are in total sync, you waste less energy on “clumsy” movements and more on performance.

We just got a new coordination tool here at the office, and let’s just say... the boys have been “testing” it out non-stop! It’s been a hit, and they’ve definitely enjoyed the challenge.

Seeing how much fun (and how competitive) they’ve been getting, I’m thinking about bringing this to the floor for our athletes.

I’m considering starting an official Hand-Eye Coordination Challenge for my athletes here at the clinic. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone’s progress, right?

What do you think? Should we set up a leaderboard and see who has the fastest hands in the clinic? Let me know in the comments! 👇

If we aren’t laughing, are we even healing? 💃 Physical Therapy is better when we’re having fun. Who said rehab had to be boring?

It’s the first thing every athlete does when they feel a pull. It’s what most coaches tell them to do. But for the high-level athletes I see, stretching that “tightness” is often like pulling on both ends of a knot, it just makes it tighter.

Here’s the “why” your coach might be missing:
1️⃣ It’s not short; it’s overstretched. Many athletes (especially those with hypermobility or EDS) have an anterior pelvic tilt. This puts the hamstrings on a constant “stretch” already. Adding more stretch just irritates the nerve and the tendon.

2️⃣ Tightness is a protective “brain” response. If your core or glutes aren’t doing their job to stabilize your pelvis, your brain tells your hamstrings to lock down to keep you from falling apart. You aren’t tight; you’re unstable.

The 2026 Shift:
Instead of passive stretching, we need to focus on eccentric loading and pelvic control.

We want muscles that are strong through their full range, not just “loose.”

If you’re a young athlete or a parent of one, and that “tightness” hasn’t gone away after months of stretching, it’s time to change the strategy.

Stop stretching. Start stabilizing. ⚡️

Reflecting on a year like 2025 reminds me that life, much like the patients I see, is a beautiful balance of strength, resilience, and movement. This year was a whirlwind of high highs and challenging curveballs, but I wouldn’t change a single moment of it.

On the home front, we’ve officially entered new chapters. We added another teenager to the mix (pray for us!) and hit the milestone of having a new driver on the road. We also had the incredible honor of celebrating legacy and life with a 90th and a 70th birthday in the family.

While the year threw us some unexpected health curveballs, they only served to deepen my gratitude for our health and the time we spend together, whether traveling on family journeys or cheering on the sidelines with our amazing soccer and track communities.

Professionally, this year has been one of my most rewarding yet. At CD Physical Therapy, we’ve had the distinct pleasure of treating over 300 patients.

To my patients: thank you for trusting me with your recovery and your stories. Being a part of your journey toward health and mobility is a privilege I don’t take lightly. You are the reason I love what I do.

As we look toward 2026, I’m carrying forward the lessons of this year: stay flexible, keep moving, and cherish the people around you.
Thank you for being a part of my life, and for letting me be a part of yours.

Everyone is talking about “crushing it” in the gym for January 1st...

But if you’re living with POTS or EDS, your “New Year’s Resolution” might look a little different. While the rest of the world is chasing PRs and high-intensity bootcamps, you’re just trying to:
❤️Stand up without your heart rate skyrocketing.
🦿Get through the day without a joint subluxing.
😮‍💨Manage the “holiday flare” that came from simple travel and socializing.

Here’s the truth most fitness influencers won’t tell you: Traditional “no pain, no gain” advice can be actively dangerous for the hypermobile and dysautonomia community. 🦓

Pushing through a POTS flare isn’t “discipline”, it’s a recipe for a crash. Stretching a hypermobile joint isn’t “flexibility”, it’s increasing instability.

As a Physical Therapist, my goal for you in 2026 isn’t a 6-pack or a marathon. It’s stability. It’s predictability. It’s teaching your nervous system that it’s safe to move again.
If you’re heading into the New Year feeling behind before you’ve even started, remember:
1. Your “slow” is someone else’s “fast.”
2. Verticality is a skill we build, not a given.
3. Micro-wins (like consistent salt intake or 10 mins of supine strengthening) are still WINS.

Let’s stop chasing “crushing it” and start chasing functioning.

👇 What is ONE movement goal you have for the New Year that has nothing to do with a gym PR? Let’s celebrate the “invisible” wins in the comments.

In the clinic, we aren’t meant to be perfect, just consistent. We provide the tools, the rehab, and the steady hand, but their ultimate performance belongs to them.

Keep showing up. Keep guiding. Keep believing. Their strength is built in the quiet hours with you, but their flight is all their own.
