A few moments from April

Somewhere along the way, I confused control with care

I believed that if I could just hold everything together—
every detail, every emotion, every outcome—
then nothing would fall apart

And for a while, that belief served me
It helped me survive open-heart surgery
It gave me structure when life felt chaotic
It carried me through seasons of loss, and into the business I now run

But it also made me hard to reach

Because control, I’ve learned, can look like discipline—
but feel like distance
It can keep you safe, while quietly keeping you from presence

This month, I did something different

I went to the mountains without over-planning
I spent time with family not because it was convenient, but because I wanted to
I let myself feel grief—not manage it
I gave myself permission to loosen the grip

And for once, I didn’t spiral
The world didn’t fall apart
If anything—it opened up

This wasn’t a month of big wins or epic moments
It was quiet. Intentional. A little tender, honestly

But it reminded me:

Gardens don’t grow because you sharpen the tools
They grow because you show up and tend to them
Water what matters
Pull the weeds
Stay present

So that’s what I’m practicing right now
Not fixing
Not controlling

Just being here

And if you’ve been carrying a little too much for a little too long—
maybe it’s time to breathe
to loosen the grip
to remember that presence is its own kind of progress

Let the garden grow

Life’s a journey, let’s keep learning and growing 😊

You don’t have a stretching problem
You have a trust problem

Tightness isn’t weakness
It’s a nervous system trying to protect you
And you can’t “out-stretch” protection

The answer isn’t pulling harder
It’s moving smarter
Teaching your body, breath by breath, that it’s safe to open up again

Stretching gives you a moment
Strength gives you a future

If you’re tired of chasing short-term relief
It’s time to build something that lasts

📲 DM me “Stretch” and I’ll show you how we actually change the story

Most PTs treat the shoulder
I treat the system that made the shoulder hurt in the first place

This client came in from the CrossFit world—strong, experienced, but still stuck
Nothing was technically wrong…
But the way their body moved told a different story

We didn’t just chase the pain
We retrained the coordination
We rebuilt trust in their system
And we brought back movement that actually works under load

If you’re strong but still in pain
If you’ve “tried everything” and nothing’s clicking
It’s not your fault—you just haven’t had someone look at the full picture yet

04/24/2025

You’ve been told to rest
But no one told you how to come back

So you avoid the stairs
Skip the gym
Wait for the pain to magically disappear
And call that healing

But rest without strategy isn’t healing
It’s fear dressed up as safety
It’s a system that teaches you what to protect—but not what to rebuild

Movement is the medicine
But only if it’s the right dose
At the right time
For the real story your body is carrying

That’s what we do here
We don’t just treat pain
We rebuild trust

She’s a child.

And without knowing it, she reminded me why this work matters.

Her dad came in for a quick injury screen. Nothing major, just a check-in.
Before they left, she handed me a note:
“Thank you for helping my dad.”

Simple. Innocent.
But it hit me harder than most things do.

Because healing isn’t just about pain.
It’s about presence.
About giving people the capacity to show up for the people who count on them.

There were seasons in my life where I couldn’t do that.
Sometimes I was too burnt out to be present.
Other times, I was too focused on myself to realize how much I’d pulled away.

I thought I needed more time, more clarity, more control…
What I really needed was to tend to what mattered.

And I’ve seen it in so many others, too:
When pain takes up all the space, presence is the first thing to disappear.

That’s why we do this work.
To help people return.
Not just to movement—but to the relationships, roles, and identities they were made for.

I’ve been rejected by commercial insurance providers because of a pre-existing condition.

Not because I’m unhealthy.
Not because I’m high-risk.
But because I was born with congenital heart disease.

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
I train consistently.
I eat intentionally.
I rarely get sick.
And I only go to the cardiologist once a year for a check-up.

But because I’m no longer under an employer plan—
and because of that label on paper—
my yearly check-up jumped from $65 to $515.

That’s after paying $320/month for insurance I barely use.
If I’d paid cash? It would’ve been $650 flat.

I understand the importance of having coverage—especially for emergencies.
But the system wasn’t designed for people like me.
People who take ownership.
People who try to stay ahead.
People who aren’t broken, but still want care that honors the full picture.

This isn’t a rant.
It’s a reflection.
And it’s why I built Revenant.

For people doing the work to stay well—
but still feel penalized by a system that wasn’t built for resilience.

📬 I write a weekly newsletter about healing, recovery, and the stories your insurance plan won’t tell you.
Not fluff. Not noise. Just real clarity for people walking through real things.

“I’ll move again when I feel ready.”

I hear this all the time.
And look—I get it. You’re trying to be careful.
But careful and stuck start to look a lot alike.

Here’s the question I usually ask:
If you can hinge, can you deadlift light?
If you can deadlift light, can you load it heavier?
If you can lunge, can you carry under tension?
If you can breathe under load—what else are you holding back from?

Recovery is a progression.
It’s a skill.
It’s not about waiting for pain to disappear—it’s about practicing what you can do until your body learns to trust it again.

And let me be real for a second:

If someone told you to stop lifting, stop squatting, stop training—
Did they actually watch you move?
Did they assess your full system?

Or did they just read a scan and call it a day?

Because that part pi**es me off.

You’re more capable than what anyone else has told you.
You don’t need permission.
You need a better plan.

I can’t tell you how many people walk into Revenant PT with the same story.

They’ve been in pain for months.
They’ve rested.
They’ve stretched.
They’ve tried massage, dry needling, foam rolling, gadgets...

Some have even been told things like:

“Don’t bend.”
“Protect your spine.”
“Your back is out of alignment.”

At first, they listen.
Because of course they do—they’re in pain, and they’re trying to get better.

But over time, nothing changes.
Or worse… the fear sets in.

Now it’s not just pain—they’re scared to move.
Scared to lift, twist, squat, or do anything that feels “risky.”

And eventually, they start to believe the most damaging message of all:

That their body is fragile.

But here’s what I tell every single one of them:

Your back isn’t broken.
It’s responding to the inputs it’s been given.
Let’s give it better ones.

Back pain isn’t just a “spine problem.”

It’s a system problem.

How you breathe, how your pelvis and ribcage align, how your nervous system perceives threat, how your body distributes load—
It all matters.

The good news?
Your body is always adapting.
We just need to change what we’re asking it to adapt to.

At Revenant PT, that’s what we focus on.
Not passive relief. Not symptom-chasing.
But movement, strength, and real resilience.

We assess how your entire system is moving—under load, in rotation, through breath—and rebuild from there.
Not to just get you “out of pain,” but to help you move with confidence again.

If you’ve been stuck in that cycle—trying all the right things but still not getting better—this post is for you.

It brings me so much joy to witness my clients return to their sport and perform in a way they haven't felt in years!! 🎾

This is the reason that I started Revenant Physical Therapy, and the reason that I love what I do. Quality treatments for quality outcomes 💯

RED FLAG 🚩 if your healthcare provider tells you to stop xyz activity because it's bad for your back/shoulder/knee/etc.

It is absolutely possible for pain to be provoked with some movements and activities, however correlation =/= causation. Stopping an activity entirely will not address the root cause of your pain symptoms, and avoidance =/= healing.

Let's chat if you're having difficulty with any movements, exercises, or sports!

It's always worth your time and money to invest in your health. There's a phrase that goes something like, "If you do not make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness." 💯

Your health is always worth investing in! Let's have a conversation and let's see how Revenant Physical Therapy can get you moving better and living better.

Have you ever heard that phrase, "When it rains, it pours" ? 🌧

That's often the case with times of high stress. Whether we realize it or not, our bodies assume a "fight or flight" state when it is stressed, which affects our musculoskeletal system in many ways. Suddenly, we are stressed AND our body begins to hurt and ache.

Over prolonged times of stress, these movement patterns often become normalized which causes persistent pain even when our stress has been reduced.

Sound like something you or a friend/family have experienced? Contact me and let's get you and your family/friends in good health ASAP!
