Happy ! 💪 Meet Micah!

Micah came to us with hip pain that put his Richmond Half Marathon in question,especially since he was planning to run it with his mom !

After putting in the work and staying consistent, he’s pain-free, back to training, and officially hit the Easy Button for his graduation from care! Now it’s just tune-ups as needed to keep this Ferrari running smoothly. 🏃‍♂️🔥

Way to go, Micah - we can’t wait to see you cross that finish line strong! 👊

With the Richmond Marathon around the corner, we wanted to reshare this video from Dr. Hancock on stretching and foam rolling! 👏

A lot of our patients think the harder they stretch or foam roll, the faster a knot will disappear, but there is such a thing as overstretching and over-rolling.

What we actually want you to do is go light, aiming for about a 3–4 out of 10 in intensity. The goal isn’t to force change all at once, but to influence the tissues to improve over time.

Keep it light, keep it steady, and be patient - you’ll get there!

We’re just 4 weeks out from the Richmond Marathon, and this is when we start to see the panic training roll in! 🏃‍♀️💨

Panic training is super common this time of year. You sign up for the marathon when life is slower, but once fall hits, work and life get busy and training takes a back seat.

If this sounds like you, here’s the deal: don’t try to “make up” for lost time by doubling up workouts or pushing harder and faster.

At this point, it’s better to accept that you’re a little undertrained and focus on having fun on race day. Otherwise, you’ll end up visiting us after the marathon trying to recover from an injury.

Be smart. Don’t panic train. And if something starts to feel off, you know where to find us. 💪

Happy ! 💪 Meet Jackson!

Jackson hurt his back during a power clean, but after just four visits, he’s officially released from care and back at it. You could say we share a similar physique. 😉

Great work, Jackson - glad to see you lifting strong again!

Big shoutout to for absolutely crushing the RMHC Chicago Marathon this past weekend! 🏃‍♀️🔥

When Andrea first came to Active last year, she was recovering from a torn labrum and wasn’t sure if she’d ever be able to run another race. Since then, she’s been working closely with Deemah, tackling strength training, stability work, and sport-specific exercises to safely get back to running and racing.

Fast forward to now: Andrea has completed 2 marathons, multiple 8Ks and 10Ks, and just dominated Chicago! Her hard work, determination, and consistency have truly paid off.

We couldn’t be prouder of your dedication and progress, Andrea. Here’s to many more races and continued success!

💪 Happy ! Meet POWER COUPLE Brenden and Sydney Russ!

Brenden just finished his last round of chemo for testicular cancer!! 👏👏 Throughout treatment, he stayed consistent with his workouts and worked with Sam for lymphatic massage to support his recovery. Now he’s setting his sights on an Ironman in 2026!

Sydney is also an incredible ultrarunner and Ironman athlete! 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️ Dr. Tricia started treating her for knee pain while she was training for a 100-miler, but she ended up with a meniscus tear. After surgery, she’s back to running completely pain-free. Now we’re focused on building her strength and helping her progress to longer distances.

Together, they’re an inspiring couple, supporting each other through challenges and celebrating every milestone. ❤️

- Sam

We’re 6 weeks out from the Richmond Marathon! If you’ve been putting off thinking about nutrition, now’s the time to start testing what works best for you.

A few things to keep in mind:
* Food at mile 5 can feel completely different from food at mile 25. Make sure you practice what you eat on your long runs.
* Experiment with both real food and gels to see what sits best in your stomach.
* Stay on top of hydration - not just for fluids, but to help get the food down.
* If you’re prone to GI distress and plan to take medication, try it beforehand to see how your body reacts.

If you get injured during your training, come see us! Book online at bit.ly/activeappointment or call 804.378.6035.

When 76-year-old triathlete Suzanne first came to us, she figured her chronic pain was just a sign it was time to get her knees replaced and start winding down like many people her age.

However, that’s certainly not the case! Since coming to see us, Suzanne has absolutely crushed her goals and is headed to Australia tomorrow to represent Team USA at the 2025 World Triathlon Age-Group Championships in Wollongong on October 17! 🙌

We are so proud of Suzanne and can’t wait to see her crush this race, the Richmond Half, and everything else she sets out to do. Thanks for trusting us with your care! ❤️🇺🇸💪
