If your fitness goals keep falling apart by February, this might be why.

We just published a new blog on why random workouts and trendy plans often lead to pain, burnout, or stalled progress—and what a performance-based PT approach does differently.

Less guesswork. More intention. Better results.

Sports rehab shouldn’t feel rushed, generic, or like you’re being “cleared” without actually being ready.

We’re a small local PT practice in Southern Maryland, and Justin works with actual athletes—youth, high school, college, and adult—recovering from sports injuries and training for a confident return to sport.

He works with runners, CrossFitters, field and court sport athletes, and active adults who train and compete. With experience treating and coaching Division I athletes in both physical therapy and strength & conditioning, his approach bridges rehab and real performance.

Care is fully 1:1 for the entire session, with rehab that progresses toward sport—strength, mechanics, confidence, and capacity—not just pain relief or a clearance date.

If you’ve watched an athlete go back too soon—or been told “you’re fine” but don’t feel ready—sports rehab deserves better.

Surgery is often just the first step in breast cancer recovery. What comes next? Getting your body back to moving, feeling, and living the way you want.

Physical therapy can help you:
👉 Restore shoulder and arm mobility
👉 Reduce scar tissue tightness and discomfort
👉 Improve posture and breathing
👉 Lower your risk of lymphedema
👉 Safely return to exercise and daily life

💡 PT isn’t just about exercise—it’s about helping you reconnect with your body after a big change. Whether you’ve had a lumpectomy, mastectomy, or reconstruction, support is available to make recovery smoother.
✨ You don’t have to do it alone—PT can guide you every step of the way.

👣 Pregnancy Myth-Busting: Did your foot really grow… or did it flatten?
Many people notice their shoe size changes during pregnancy or postpartum—but it’s not because your foot suddenly had a growth spurt. What’s actually happening is a reduction in the arch of your foot.

Why does this happen?
✅ Increased laxity of connective tissue (thanks, hormones!)
✅ Added weight and changes in load during pregnancy
✅ Natural shifts in posture and body mechanics

The good news: you’re not stuck with aching feet forever. Foot strengthening exercises, supportive shoe wear, and in some cases orthotics, can go a long way in reducing pain and preventing lasting issues.
Your feet carried you through pregnancy—let’s keep them strong for everything that comes after. 💪

Know Your Normal!

Your best defense? You.
Self-checks help you spot changes early:
Lumps or thick spots
Skin changes (dimpling, redness)
Ni**le changes or discharge

Do a quick check once a month—you’ll know when something feels off.
💡 PTs are all about body awareness. If you’ve had surgery or treatment, we can help you reconnect with your body and movement.
✨ Early detection saves lives. Start with you.

Being hypermobile (extra flexible) might sound like a superpower—but it can come with hidden challenges:
👉 Joints that live at end ranges = more wear and tear
👉 Muscles that stay “on” all the time trying to stabilize = tension + pain
👉 Pelvic floor that never quite rests = can contribute to leaking or urgency
It’s not about being too bendy—it’s about how your body manages that mobility.

Physical therapy helps by:
Improving kinesthetic awareness (so you know where your body is in space)
Building strength where you need it most
Training safe, modified ranges of motion
Teaching your muscles when to fire—and when to relax
✨ More control, less strain. Your body deserves support, not just flexibility.

🍂 Raking Leaves Without Wrecking Your Back

Fall leaves are pretty… until you’re three piles in and your back is screaming.
A few tips to save your spine this season:
👉 Switch sides often (don’t be a “right-hand raker” the whole time).
👉 Bend your knees and use your legs instead of hunching your back.
👉 Take breaks—marathon raking = marathon soreness.
👉 Stretch it out after (hips, hamstrings, and low back will thank you).

Back pain doesn’t have to be part of your fall tradition. A little strategy = less strain.

The Water Sandwich

Love your morning coffee…but hate the bladder urgency that comes with it? Here’s a trick: make a water sandwich.

👉 Glass of water before your bladder irritant (coffee, soda, wine, etc.)
👉 Enjoy your drink
👉 Another glass of water after
Why it works: layering water helps dilute the bladder irritant, reducing urgency, frequency, and irritation.

It’s not about giving up your favorites—it’s about finding balance. Your bladder will thank you.

🚽 Let’s Talk Pooping Posture
Yep, we’re going there—because how you sit on the toilet matters.
When your feet are flat on the ground, your re**um stays a bit kinked (think garden hose with a bend). That kink makes it harder to go.
👉 Elevating your feet (think stool, squatty potty, or even a stack of books) helps straighten things out, making pooping easier and less straining.
Why does this matter?
Less straining = less pressure on your pelvic floor
Can reduce constipation and hemorrhoids
Friendlier to your spine and hips too
💡 Sometimes the simplest changes make the biggest difference.

💪 Postpartum recovery should be progressive—not random.
Scrolling through your fitness app and picking whatever workout looks fun? It might get you moving, but it won’t get you where you want to be very quickly.

Postpartum recovery is different. It requires:
✅ Attention to your individual needs
✅ A plan that uses progressive overload (aka smart, step-by-step strength building)
✅ Guidance to make sure you’re healing and getting stronger, not just “working out”

Start with a pelvic floor/orthopedic PT, then graduate into a progressive strengthening program designed for YOU. 🎯

Supplement with those favorite fitness classes you love—but don’t let them be your only plan.
