Stop majoring in the minors. Build a strong foundation with strength, capacity, and resilient legs, shoulders, and feet to dominate a tournament weekend.

Specific tools like stretching, massage guns, and warm-ups help, but they do not replace solid training.

Train smart, play harder.

Say hello to Annie McCormick, PT, DPT. đź‘‹

Annie joins the MTM team as a Physical Therapist on 3/23 with a background in yoga, CrossFit coaching, and — randomly — sharing a stage with DJ Shaq.

She’s here to help you move better, get back to what you love, and realize you’re stronger than you think.

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her running the Delaware River Trail, at Solidcore, or making her way through Philly’s food scene one incredible meal at a time (Suraya tasting menu, if you know you know 🤌). Fueled by Reanimator Americanos and accompanied everywhere by Bowie, her 10-year-old doodle.

Welcome to the team, Annie!

Compensation isn’t the enemy… it’s how your body protects and moves.

To target a specific muscle, choose constrained exercises like hack squats or leg extensions so other muscles can’t steal the work.

Use isolation to build strength, then bring it back to big compound lifts.

Here are the top three deadlift variations you need: RDL, Conventional, Single‑Leg, and when to use each.

RDLs for a clean hip hinge and hamstring focus; Conventional for heavy strength and real‑world lifting; Single‑Leg for balance and unilateral power.

Feeling stuck in your thoracic mobility? A small tweak can make a big difference.

Place your foot on the wall. It locks your hips so the rotation actually comes from your thoracic spine, not your hips or low back. More rotation, less compensation, better movement.

Try it next time and notice the difference. Consistent practice + smart setup = real progress.

We work with ACLers one day after surgery all the way up until their return to sport.

We also see ACLers 6, 12, and 18 months out of surgery when they come to us saying “things still don’t feel right”.

When we ask them what they’ve been doing and to see examples of their rehab and training program, it often comes as no surprise why pain, swelling, or stiffness persists.

ACL rehab to get back to living an active, athletic life is a specialized form of physical therapy that comes with great risk (see slides) when poorly executed.

We never want our patients to be another statistic. It’s why our team has poured a great deal of our time and effort in continuing our education around evidence-based, best practice management for ACL rehab.

Progress here is built through attention to detail.

Adjustments in real time. Strength developed with control. People learning what their body is capable of.

That’s what makes intensity productive.

Your MRI is not a diagnosis of your future.

Imaging is one piece of the puzzle.

Movement, strength, and the right guidance are what change the outcome.

If you have been told your MRI means you cannot get back to training, that is not the full story.

Confidence in your body is built through reps that matter.

Control. Strength. Awareness.

When training is coached with intention, progress keeps building instead of starting over.

Learn the smoothest way to get in and out of a dumbbell bench press.

No awkward wiggles or dropping weights. Sit at the edge of the bench, use the dumbbells to guide you down, and bring your knees up to meet the dumbbells to stand back up safely and efficiently. đź’Ş
