Most parents have been taught the same thing for every sports injury:

❄️ Ice it
💊 Give ibuprofen
🛑 Shut inflammation down

But here’s the thing 👇
Inflammation isn’t automatically the enemy — it’s part of the healing process.

When your child’s (insert body part) swells after practice or a game, their body is increasing circulation and bringing healing cells to the area for a reason.

We should learn how to SUPPORT the healing process instead of immediately trying to stop it.

The goal is to help the body heal efficiently. 💪

If your athlete isn’t bouncing back the way they should, keeps having recurrent injuries/swelling, or you simply aren’t sure what to do next — we’re here to help guide you through it

You may have noticed a new face around the office this week!

Meet Elizabeth, our summer intern! A Raleigh native, Elizabeth is currently studying Kinesiology at Penn State University while also competing on the women’s varsity gymnastics team.

We’re excited to have her with us this summer and know she’ll bring great energy to the clinic. If you see Elizabeth around the office, be sure to give her a warm welcome!

Beer league legends 🍻🏆

A few sacrifices were made along the way… backs, brains, probably a hamstring or two. But champions are willing to pay the price.

Turns out the secret to bringing home the championship wasn’t better conditioning or younger bodies… it was the new sweaters! 😉

Big congrats to this crew for battling all season and finishing on top. Enjoy the victory lap, a few cold ones, and bragging rights, boys. 🥇

Menopause doesn’t mean slowing down — your training just needs to evolve. 👏

One of the BEST things you can do during perimenopause and menopause is continue challenging your body with:
✔ Strength training
✔ Sprint-style cardio
✔ Impact/power work

The goal is to build a stronger, more resilient body that can support you for decades to come 💪

But seriously, if dry needling was the solution… you’d only need one session. 👀

It’s great for improving short-term symptoms-
but lasting results come from loading, strengthening, and retraining movement.

That’s where we come in 👋

Elbow pain in gymnasts isn’t random—and rest alone isn’t the fix.

If we actually want a long-term solution, we have to zoom out and ask better questions:

• Can they access full shoulder mobility overhead without compensation?

• Do they have the strength to support the demand—push-ups, pull-ups, and a solid standing press handstand?

• Are their gymnastics mechanics putting excessive load through the elbow instead of distributing it through the shoulder and trunk?

• Are they fueling enough to support growth, recovery, and repetitive high-impact training?

Because elbows usually aren’t the problem… they’re the messenger.

Address the shoulder.
Build the strength.
Clean up the mechanics.
Fuel the athlete.

That’s how you create lasting change—not just temporary relief.
