Most athletes try to kick the ground away instead of driving into it.

Delaying knee extension lets the hips do their job: absorb, stabilize, and push down, not forward.

Control depth, control force, target the right tissue.

We have been helping with some chronic knee pain and she’s done a killer job of grooving out these patterns.

The best things are worth working for.

The hardest part of rehab isn’t always the physical work — it’s losing the rhythm that once defined you. When you’re pulled from the season, it can feel like a part of your identity is gone.

Rehab isn’t perfect. Some days the pain comes back, and it feels like you’re sliding backward. But every time you show up — every rep, every session, every bit of effort — you’re proving you’re not broken. You’re rebuilding. Stronger. Smarter. Better. 🔥

If you’re working through an injury, remember — it’s more than just physical pain. We get it. Let’s get you back to doing what you love, better than before.

Some highlights from my last session with

Hitting the 5 week mark post meniscectomy and we are really starting to pick up momentum.

This is the second major surgery for this knee and we want to make sure we nail this rehab.

That means focusing on down force through the left and right side as well as preparing the tendons and ligaments to be tendons and ligaments again.

Makiya brings focus and purpose to his rehab. He’s willing to get uncomfortable in the right ways to make sure this knee lasts.

I always love the effort.

A little early morning ankle rehab.

Make it move. Make it work. Overload it.

Basketball players need pronation. They need overcoming force. They need high tendon load.

makes this look easy.

The Dream Team…and this guy. 👍🏼

If you know me, then you know how much I love coming in and doing what I do every single freaking day.

Carly Popst and Alyssa Watts, PT, DPT, OCS, TPS, FCS bring an incredible commitment and energy to helping others over come injury.

If you don’t know, well now you know.

This is just the beginning.

Let’s freakin go…..

🏆 Recovery isn’t about fancy tools — it’s about getting the basics right.

Gold-standard strategies like sleep, nutrition & hydration, and cold water immersion deliver the biggest impact.

Compression, active recovery, massage, and foam rolling? Helpful add-ons. But not the main course

Infrared, Red light, Vibration? Save your money. If you have them great. But dont let them take time away from the major players.

🥇 Gold: Sleep, Nutrition & Hydration
🥈 Silver: Cold Water Immersion, Compression, Active Recovery
🥉 Bronze: Massage, Foam Rolling
⬛ Black: Other modalities (infrared, vibration, etc.)

Prioritize what truly works. Train smart. Recover smarter. 💪

“Are you sure you’re really hurt?” 🙄

It’s the most common thing my female athletes hear from a coach. 🤔

Not “What are you feeling?” Not “Let’s check it out.” Not “I believe you.”

After 20 years and 20,000 patients, I’ve seen more girls play through torn ligaments, broken bones, and dislocated shoulders—without saying a word—than boys. 💯

Not because they’re weaker. 🙅‍♀️
 Because they’ve been trained to be quieter.🙊

Girls don’t need to prove they’re tough. They already are.🖕🏼

We just need to start asking better questions.

🧠 Here’s why the swing leg matters.👇

Your stance leg is the engine. But your swing leg? That’s the ignition sequence. Skip it, and you’re leaving speed, power, and efficiency on the table.

🦵 The swing leg isn’t passive. It:
• Controls rhythm in sprinting—like a metronome setting timing for ground contact.
• Pre-loads the system before push-off, storing kinetic energy and ensuring a powerful transition.
• Stabilizes landing mechanics in single-leg jumps by preparing the pelvis and spine mid-air.
• Regulates direction and posture during change of direction—especially in chaotic, reactive sport environments.

💡 Want faster return-to-play? Don’t just power up the engine—tune the steering.

Great demo here by .vajdos 💪🏼

What you resist persists.

Over the last five years my approach to knee rehab has changed considerably.

I used to spend a ton of time on hip activation and hamstring work, queuing, etc.

That’s not to say those things don’t have value. I still use them, but that is not my primary focus like it once was.

Having spent the last few years rehabbing everything from ACL repairs to failed surgeries and severely arthritic knees, my mantra is simple…

It’s the quad until it’s not the quad.

Don’t treat the quad like accessory work.

“Bulletproof knees” is a lie. Here’s what actually works.

You don’t need armor. You need awareness.

Most knee pain isn’t from damage — it’s from protection.

Your system isn’t broken. It’s bracing.

So no, another mobility drill won’t fix the story your nervous system is telling.

✅ Decrease Pain
✅ Increase confidence
✅ Build capacity
That’s rehab that respects the human behind the joint.

📍If you’re in New Braunfels and ready for movement without fear… we’re here.

Most people rehab the hard way... because of bad advice.

Do things differently—smarter, safer, and with long term goals in mind.

Recovery doesn’t mean just rest.
 Pain isn’t a badge of honor and lack of pain isn’t a sign of health.

If you’re dealing with: ✅ Knee pain ✅ Shoulder issues ✅ A nagging sports injury that won’t go away...

Let’s fix it the right way.
