Hip pinching during squats isn’t just a “tight hip” problem.

It’s usually a mix of:
• Mobility — how well your hip can rotate and move
• Flexibility — what’s limiting you in the front of the hip
• Strength — your ability to control and load that range

When one of those is missing, your squat feels uncomfortable—or just plain stuck.

The goal isn’t to force depth or stretch harder.

It’s to create space, improve control, and then build strength where your hips can tolerate it.
Save this for your next lower-body day, and if squats still pinch, that’s your cue to get individualized guidance.

Swelling is often one of the biggest drivers of pain after an acute injury.

Early swelling management matters—especially in young athletes—because it sets the stage for:

✅ Better movement
✅ Better muscle activation
✅ Better outcomes
✅ Faster return to sport

If you’ve had an injury and the swelling just “won’t go down,” that’s your sign to get it addressed. Let us know. We’d love to help! 😊

New year, new goals—but the same rules still apply. 💪
If you want your fitness routine to actually stick this year, focus on consistency, smart progressions, and listening to your body—not extremes or quick fixes.
Strong, resilient bodies are built over time—not in January alone.

Elbow pain in gymnasts is almost never just an elbow problem.

If your athlete has persistent pain, it’s time to ditch the rest, ice and sleeves and look deeper at what’s going on.

Here are the real root causes we see over and over 👇

1️⃣ Shoulder Mobility & Strength

Our area of expertise! We assess range of motion, strength, shapes and mechanics to make sure the elbow isn’t absorbing more forces than it should be.

2️⃣ Fueling (or under-fueling)

These athletes need a ton of food to keep their bodies fueled! If you’re not sure on where to start with nutrition, check out .gymnast.nutritionist for a ton of great information on keeping your gymnast fueled!

3️⃣ Training Volume

Smart programming, rest days, and load management matter. Communicate with coaches to help keep your athlete healthy.

Have a gymnast struggling with elbow pain? Let us know. We’d love to help! 🤸

We are now collecting donations for our annual toy drive for the kids at Duke Children’s!

Please drop your new, unwrapped, toys to our office between now and DECEMBER 15th. Toys can be for kids of all ages and will be gifted to those spending their holiday in the hospital this year.

We love partnering with the incredible team of providers in Duke’s Child Life department. These super humans educate, play and help make scary and hard times for kids in the hospital a little bit brighter. 🎁🎄

Our goal is to fill an entire Tahoe with toys this year. Help us make this our best year yet!

If you can’t make it to our office, check out the flyer for other ways to give! ❤️
