Her first marathon didn’t go the way she hoped.
She trained hard, pushed through knee pain, and crossed the finish line — but at a cost. The recovery was rough, the pain lingered, and she told herself, “Maybe I’m just not built for this.”

But she didn’t quit.
She walked into our clinic determined to run 🏃‍♀️ again… just without the setback cycle.

Together we rebuilt everything from the ground up:
✔️ Strength she’d never trained before
✔️ Power + stability that her body had been missing
✔️ New movement patterns
✔️ Data-driven guidance on how to train smarter — not harder

Her second marathon?
A completely different experience.
Stronger. More confident. Way less pain.
That race proved what she was capable of when her body was supported the right way.

And now she’s training for a half marathon…
💥 with the MOST consistent running she’s had in YEARS.
💥 without injuries derailing her.
💥 while working full-time as a nurse.

This is what happens when you stop guessing, stop pushing through pain, and start training with intention.

If you’re stuck in the “train → get injured → rest → repeat” cycle…
You don’t need more miles.
You need a smarter plan and a team who understands runners. We have a team of Doctors of PT who are run experts, certified run coaches and they run also! 🤯

DM RUN and let’s help you get back to consistent, confident, pain-free running.

Thankful for YOU today and every day. ❤️Thank you for trusting us with your health, your strength, and your goals.Happy ...

Most people think once the pain is gone, the injury is “healed.”
But for youth athletes — especially soccer players — that’s the biggest myth out there.

This athlete broke her ankle a year ago and went through traditional PT somewhere else…
She wasn’t in pain anymore, but she still couldn’t cut, accelerate, or change direction with confidence.
And that hesitation was affecting every part of her game.

Here’s the thing:
👉 Traditional PT often stops where insurance says it should stop.
👉 Performance PT continues until the athlete moves, loads, cuts, and performs at 100% again.
And those are very different finish lines.

In this session, you’ll see one of our Ironhorse PT clinicians (yes, an athlete herself — our owner is the original om!) using a manual mobilization-with-movement technique to restore the ankle dorsiflexion she was missing.

Because without proper dorsiflexion, the body has no choice but to compensate…
➡ at the knee
➡ at the hip
➡ or even the low back

And for soccer players?
That lost ankle mobility means:
⚠ slower acceleration
⚠ poor push-off power
⚠ hesitation in cutting
⚠ decreased agility
⚠ higher risk for repeat injuries

After restoring the motion, we immediately coached her through strength + stability drills so she could own that new range and apply it to real movement — not just “feel better.”

No pain → doesn’t mean ready for sport.
Out of the boot → doesn’t mean ready for cutting.
Cleared by insurance → doesn’t mean cleared for competition.

If your athlete is stuck in the gap between “not injured” and “not performing,” this is exactly where we come in.
This is performance physical therapy — and it’s what changes careers, confidence, and outcomes.

Shoulder pain shouldn’t stop you from training 💪

Here’s Dr. Rachel showing one of our clients how to safely add TRX exercises to strengthen the muscles around his shoulders and upper back without strain.

Most people with shoulder pain just rest or avoid workouts — but the key is learning how to move better, not less.

Our PTs are certified in TRX + strength & conditioning, so we help you rebuild strength and confidence while protecting your joints.

✅ Shoulder-friendly TRX variations
✅ Root-cause movement retraining
✅ 1:1 guidance from Doctors of PT who actually lift

Don’t just “push through” shoulder pain — train smarter, not harder.

📍San Ramon, CA
📲 DM us “TRX” if your shoulder pain’s been holding you back — we’ll show you how to fix it and get you back to doing what you love.

From knee pain to crushing the Monterey Bay Half Marathon 🙌🔥

When he first came in, he could barely run without pain — his knee and opposite side were both flaring up from compensations. Fast forward to now: he’s running strong, pain-free, and gearing up for the California International Marathon in December 🏃‍♂️💨

This is what happens when you fix the root cause, not just chase the pain. 👊
We’re so proud of his hard work and consistency — true Medal Monday vibes! 🏅

When this client came in, he couldn’t bench or lift overhead — MRI showed a small rotator cuff tear. He wanted to avoid surgery and get back to training 💪

This clip shows myofascial decompression (aka cupping) — one piece of the puzzle that helped loosen up his neck + shoulder.

But that’s not all we did 👇
✅ Manual work to restore neck & shoulder mobility
✅ Core + shoulder re-training to stabilize movement
✅ Gradual strength rebuild so he could press pain-free again

Now he’s back to benching and overhead pressing without pain 🙌

Stay tuned for Part 2 🎥 — we’ll show the key exercises that got him there.

👉 DM us “SHOULDER” if you’re ready to lift pain-free and finally fix what’s holding you back.

Think lifting weights 🏋️‍♀️ is dangerous? Being weak is actually what’s dangerous! 🤯 Meet “E” — 72 years young and redefining what healthy aging looks like.

When he first came to us, even walking without back pain felt like a challenge. He was limping and was uncomfortable doing basic things around the house.

We started with Pilates-based rehab to rebuild his core and confidence, then progressed to functional strength training — like these trap bar deadlifts — to bulletproof his back for real life.

Because here’s the truth:
💥 Lifting weights (when done correctly) doesn’t hurt your back — it protects it.
💥 You’re never “too old” to build strength.
💥 And movement is medicine — especially when guided in a safe, supportive environment.

Now, E can lift heavy, move freely, and do the things he loves — from gardening to playing with his grandkids — without fear of pain holding him back.

At Ironhorse PT & Pilates, we’re passionate about helping you stay strong, mobile, and confident for life.

Most people butcher their rows 😬— pulling with their arms instead of engaging their shoulder blades.

Dr. Stacy breaks down exactly how to fix it so you can:
✅ Strengthen your postural muscles
✅ Improve shoulder + neck function
✅ Feel and move better throughout the day

You can do this anywhere — just anchor a band in your doorway and make it a quick “movement snack” between Zoom calls 💻

Just because you have arthritis, a bad back,
or an old injury doesn’t mean you can’t 💪

When “V” first came to us, he wasn’t sure if he’d ever be able to run again. Years of knee arthritis, a “bad back,” and an old meniscus surgery had made him doubt what was possible.

This fall, at 54 years old — he summited Mt. Whitney 🏔️ and crossed the finish line of his first half marathon 🏃‍♂️ in under 2:26 🤯

He didn’t accept “take it easy” and give up on running or his other hopes and dreams 💫
He rebuilt — one rep, one mile, one breakthrough at a time.

Because with the right guidance, care, and belief… nothing is impossible. 💪

Here’s the truth: exercise alone isn’t enough to get athletes back to training pain-free.

This CrossFit coach came to us with back pain that was limiting his Olympic weightlifting. Instead of just prescribing generic exercises, we combined:
✅ Hands-on manual therapy (cupping + mobility work)
✅ Core re-education + strengthening to make the changes last

That’s our comprehensive approach at Ironhorse PT & Pilates — it’s how we help athletes recover faster, prevent setbacks, and get back to competing at a higher level.

If you’re dealing with pain that’s keeping you out of the gym, don’t wait. 👉 Book your free phone consult today and see how we can help you recover and perform at your best.

Strong posture = strong presence 💪✨
