Helping active adults and athletes get out of pain and back to top level performance.

Have a banged up shoulder? Or looking to keep yourself free from one?

The upside down kettlebell press is something you really need to consider throwing into your routine.

The stability required from your shoulder and all of the surrounding muscles to keep the KB upright is an absolute game changer when it comes to building a healthier shoulder.

Start light and make sure to let the weight fall away from your face if things get wobbly ;)

Squats and deadlifts aren’t hurting your back.

You’re just not using your core right.

Most understand that we aren’t trying to lift with our back.

But somewhere along the way we miss how to use our core to provide the stability required to stay out of pain.

The fix is simple. Take your hands and squeeze the sides of your torso and inhale.

Flex your core against your hands with a torso full of air and hold.

Simple enough, but far from easy to apply.

Start with bodyweight, then the bar and so on. Take a couple of weeks from the heavy stuff to build this skill up and watch how much better your back feels.

Long hours on the computer can lead to all sorts of crazy symptoms.

On of the more distressing ones can be numbness in the arms.

But we got a plan to fix that.

We need to roll out:

- Your pec
- The muscles under your arm
- Your Lat
All 3 of these are pulling your in on yourself which is causing you to have tightness around key nervous system pathways

Rolling out to relax the muscles, then to stretching and finally we begin the strengthening process for our upper back to make us more resilient over time.

It’s not a one time fix but with consistency these desk bound issues can be addressed and fixed.

Are you someone who routinely finds themselves in knee pain during your sport? The Kettlebell swing may be what is missing in your training routine.

If you’re gym routine is the standard bro split and you try to shoot around after it’s really easy to overlook an exercise like this.

But it makes you strong exactly where you need to be to be explosive in an athletic position.

Learning to load and use your hips is one of the first things we need to address when it comes to knee pain and the KB swing does just that.

High reps, and keep that hip drive explosive.

Back stiff after chiro? There’s more to keeping your back feeling good than a quick crack

Most of us go to the Chiro’s office expexting to ease our back tightness. And for some it’s a quick relief, and the pain comes back just in time for your next appointment.

But there is a way to keep that relief for longer

Training your back in this big arch after you’re back feels bettter can help strengthen your muscles enough to keep that relief.

Got an elbow that hurts every time you’re out golfing? It’s time to fix that.

Everyone think you can out train this elbow pain with stronger forearms but we gotta step back a few steps.

First we need to roll that forearm out and let it relax.

Then we need to go up the chain to the shoulder and create a more stabile arm with the bandy pull across.

Only then do we make our way to forearm training. The rotational strength will help bulletproof our elbows for your next round of golf.

Still laying around hitting clamshells months after Physical therapy? It’s time to level up.

The clamshells are a great starting tool to use when coming off an injury. But their ability to create the progress needed is limited.

These 3 movements all create a larger system involvement that will help incorporate what the clamshells helped build but applied to more compound movement patterns (resulting in better on the field and in the gym progress)

Post ACL surgery and you’re struggling to do body weight exercises?

We need to adapt, not just give up any movement that gives us discomfort.

So using something like a band to make the movement easier at the bottom (the hardest point) can allow us to continue to get stronger when BW is to much.

This can apply to any movement for any rehab process.

NOT EVERY SPRAIN IS THE SAME

When it comes to managing swelling in the early phases of healing, kinesiology tape can be an effective tool. While I might use this technique once a year, that doesn’t mean it’s not beneficial—it just has its specific time and place.

Rehab isn’t about using the same approach for every injury. Not every ankle sprain, muscle strain, or swollen joint needs the same cookie-cutter treatment plan. What works for one person may not be right for another, and it’s essential to adapt strategies to the individual.

That’s why I avoid rigid methods or “one-size-fits-all” approaches. The best care comes from understanding your unique needs and using the right tools, even if they’re uncommon. Every detail matters when it comes to your recovery.

At Bax Performance and Rehab, we tailor every plan to you. Don’t settle for less than personalized care—reach out to get back to what you love stronger than ever.

ADVANCED STRATEGIES IN REHAB

Combining electrical stimulation (e-stim) with blood flow restriction (BFR) training can be a game-changer in recovery and rehab. This powerful duo helps target muscle activation while building strength with less load. But here’s the catch—it’s not about passively letting a machine do all the work.

One challenge with traditional e-stim is timing. If there are pauses in your movement, the stimulation doesn’t always sync perfectly with your exercise, limiting effectiveness. That’s where innovative technology comes in. By giving patients control over when to activate muscles and when to let them relax, we can integrate e-stim seamlessly into dynamic exercises, ensuring optimal results.

Recovery isn’t passive, and physical therapy isn’t just lying on a table while machines do the work. It’s about finding tools that assist your active effort. Nothing replaces putting in the work yourself.

At Bax Performance and Rehab, we utilize advanced techniques to keep your recovery effective and engaging. Ready to level up your rehab? Reach out to us!

The Importance of Barbell Based Rehab: Returning Stronger

When you’re coming back from an injury, it’s essential to keep your rehab aligned with your level of training. If you have a history of pulling 405+ off the ground, your physical therapist shouldn’t be assessing your technique with a PVC pipe—or even just with 135. Returning to form after an injury isn’t about starting from scratch; it’s a phase within your training cycle that requires a plan as intentional as any other part of your program.

Rehabbing from an injury is not something you figure out on your own, nor is it something someone can fully understand from reading about it in a book. You need a professional who’s experienced with athletes like you, who understands the demands of strength training, and who shares that passion for performance.

At Bax Performance and Rehab, we’re here to guide you through each step, making sure your comeback is not only safe but also strong. If you’re ready to approach your rehab as part of your training and get back under the bar with confidence, reach out to us. Let’s turn this phase into a comeback.
