I love this photo — and I use it all the time with my clients.
It’s the lightbulb moment. The “ahh… that’s why my shoulder still hurts, even after stretching” realization.
Your body is a system. Rotations, stability, and movement patterns are all connected.
This is especially critical for skiers, bikers, and golfers who rely on rotation, precision, and full-body control.
At Personal PT, we don’t chase symptoms. We take a head-to-toe approach and create a plan that actually works — built for your body, your lifestyle, and your performance goals.
If you want to stay active for the long haul… don’t ignore this.

“Nobody has a body like yours. We treat you that way.”

HGTV gave me the home reveal of a lifetime—and the reaction that’s now haunting my group chats forever.

This face lives rent-free in my head. And now? On the internet too.

You want to train.
But your back isn’t having it.

Here’s the truth: most “back pain warm-ups” either
👉 waste your time
👉 activate your core incorrectly (or ignore it all together)
👉 or skip the real reason your low back keeps flaring up.

This isn’t one of those.

This is a 5-minute dynamic warm-up I built specifically for people with low back pain.
✅ It starts with breath and core activation
✅ Opens up your mid-back (so your low back doesn’t take the hit)
✅ Progresses into smart, functional movement prep

Whether you’re lifting, biking, or just trying to move better—this gets your whole system ready.

Want the full warm-up video?
I’m giving it away (free!) to the first 100 people who grab it.
🎯 “Comment ‘WARM UP’ and I’ll DM it to you.”

Your body’s talking. Let’s make sure it moves better—not just hurts less.

No—I'm not making fun of anyone.
Quite the opposite.

👀 At the airport, I get a front-row seat to humanity in motion.
Hundreds of people walking by, each with their own pattern, rhythm, compensation, and story written in every stride.

I see…
🚶‍♂️ The Overstride Shuffle
🧳 The Suitcase Drag
🕺 The “Cool Guy” Swing
🚽 The Closest Bathroom Quickstep
🐧 The Internal Rotation Waddle
😖 The “Please Don’t Lock My Knee” Dip

It’s part biomechanics, part anthropology, and part “I wonder if that guy knows his left glute’s been off since 2014.”

I don’t see “good” or “bad.”
I see clues. Adaptations. History. Survival.
And sometimes, pain.

It’s movement analysis in the wild.
My favorite kind.

Some people collect souvenirs when they travel.
✈️ I collect gait patterns, foot strikes, trunk shifts, limps that don’t know they’re limping yet.

It’s part observation. Part curiosity.
Part love letter to the way our bodies tell the truth—long before our words catch up.

—

I’m here traveling for the final stages of my book, and as always, movement is the thing I come back to.

Because nobody has a body like yours.
And it’s time we start treating people that way.

🦶Want to play the gait game? Next time you're at the airport, try this:
Watch one person walk by.
Look for the foot that hesitates.
The hip that doesn’t shift.
The head that stays too still.

It won’t make you a PT.
But it might make you pay attention.

You don’t age out of movement.
You age out of ignoring recovery.

Your workouts haven’t betrayed you.
Your bike didn’t wreck your hips.
Your age isn’t the problem.

The truth?
Most active people stop doing the mobility work that keeps them moving well.

👉 They stretch only when something hurts.
👉 They skip foam rolling, breathwork, or recovery days.
👉 They treat massages or yoga as “nice-to-haves” — instead of non-negotiables.

And slowly… the tightness builds.
The stiffness settles in.
And the injuries? They stop being occasional.

Mobility and recovery work aren’t fluff.
They’re the foundation that lets you stay active, powerful, and pain-free — decade after decade.

Here’s what that might look like for you:
🔹 Regular joint prep or mobility work around your high-use areas (hips, spine, shoulders)
🔹 Dedicated soft tissue or breathwork to calm your nervous system
🔹 Active recovery woven into your weekly training — not tacked on as an afterthought

If you’re 30, 40, 50+ and still active… amazing.
Now let’s make sure your mobility practices match the way you train.

Because your strength doesn’t matter if your joints can’t access it.

Your body doesn’t want to stop moving.
It just needs you to support it better.
You need better movement.

Because your body doesn’t want to slow down.
It just needs the right strategy to keep up.

Still can’t believe this is our house 🙌

Seeing it air on HGTV (Episodes 1 & 2!) has been surreal — but what I love even more is how this home fits the way we actually live: movement, connection, recovery, and a little bit of magic.

Thank you and team for designing a space that feels like us.

If you missed the episodes, go check out Jasmine’s post and see the transformation!

It keeps happening…
Another Sunday grocery trip → another patient (or former patient!) stops me in the aisle to share how their body is feeling better, stronger, and more capable than before.

This week’s quote?

“I didn’t think the breathing stuff would apply to Pickleball… but I’m using it now—and I haven’t had a flare-up since. I am going to use that for life!”

Moments like these are why I do what I do.

Because real movement healing isn’t just about getting out of pain. It’s about giving people tools they can take with them—to the court, the trail, the grocery store, or wherever life calls them next.

Park City is a unique place. You can’t go anywhere without bumping into someone you’ve worked with. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Also—if you’re a fellow Sunday grocery shopper, you already know the secret aisle I never skip: the snack bar section. 🙌

Huge shoutout to for fueling my post-PT trail snacks and keeping both me and my clients functioning with clean, delicious energy. Local company. Big impact. 💪🏽

Tight Muscles Can Act Like a Vice on Your Back

Everyone’s so focused on strengthening for back pain…
But what if the issue isn’t weakness—it’s compression?

Lately, I’ve had a wave of patients come in with the same pattern:
✔️ Doing all the “right” things—glute bridges, planks, core work
❌ Still feeling pain and locked up through the low back

Here’s what I told them:
👉 Your muscles might be choking your spine like a pair of pants that are too tight.

More tension isn’t always the answer.
Your body may actually be craving space—decompression, breath, and the ability to open.

In this video, I’ll walk you through a few of my favorite “openers” that have been making a big difference:

Crocodile breathing (on a bosu ball or the floor) to expand the low back

Rockbacks to teach the hips + pelvic floor to release

Modified puppy pose to invite opening across the entire lower chain

It’s not just about movement—it’s about the right movement, the right balance for what your system needs.

📍If your back feels like it’s stuck in a vice, this might be the missing piece.

Ready to launch onto HGTV tonight!!

Not busiess related but fun related 🙂 Beyond grateful to the people who culminated to create a home that actually makes us feel at home. Dreams take a multitude of efforts and ideas to bring forth. This dream has been percolating for almost 2 decades. Cannot praise enough for her insights and encouragement along the way. We pinch ourselves daily. And now, time for popcorn, humility and laughing at ourselves.

It’s show time!!!
