𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐩

Let’s set the record straight:
The pop you hear during a spinal manipulation isn’t your spine being “put back in place.”
⁣
It’s just gas leaving the joint — not realignment, not bones shifting.
⁣
What actually makes manipulation effective is the high-velocity thrust, which can temporarily reduce pain and stiffness by calming the nervous system.

But it’s just that — 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲.
Manipulation doesn’t fix the root cause. It opens a short window where you can move with less pain, and that’s when rehab matters most.

We use this tool only when:
✅ Pain is localized (not radiating)
✅ Movement helps your symptoms
✅ There’s no obvious weakness on one side
✅ You need help tolerating corrective exercise

Used strategically, it helps people move better 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.

Not every back or neck pain needs a “crack” — but the right approach at the right time can make all the difference.

🧠 Curious if this could help your pain or training? Feel free to reach out.

Is stretching overrated? 👀

If you stretch before every workout to avoid injury… or hit a deep hamstring stretch post-WOD to fight off soreness… you’re not alone.

But here’s the truth: stretching might not be doing what you think it is. 🙅‍♀️
✔️ It doesn’t significantly reduce injury risk
✔️ It might decrease your power if done before lifting
✔️ And it doesn’t do much for muscle soreness

So what does help?
💥 Dynamic warm-ups
💪 Strength at end ranges (aka active mobility)
📈 Smart recovery strategies

“𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐓: 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠, 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬.”
Hi, I’m Dr. Maya Inozemtseva, PT, DPT, ATC 👋 A dual-credentialed Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer serving active adults, runners, and CrossFitters in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.
I graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Boston University in 2018 and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training. Over the years, I’ve worked with a variety of sports teams and active populations—helping runners, strength athletes, and weekend warriors recover smarter and move stronger.
But my passion for PT started long before my degrees. Growing up as a track and field athlete, I struggled with my own injuries and chronic back pain. Working with a physical therapist completely reshaped how I viewed pain, movement, and recovery—and I’ve carried that lesson with me into my practice ever since.
After years in Boston and traveling the U.S. as a physical therapist, I settled here in Ventura and fell in love with the community. Now, I bring 𝟏:𝟏 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬-𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 directly to my patients —helping them recover from injuries, prevent pain from coming back, and stay in the activities they love.
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭:
Unlike traditional clinics, I come to you—whether that’s your home, gym, or office—so you get 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝, 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬. This one-on-one approach allows me to tailor every session specifically to your goals and environment, making rehab more convenient and effective.
If you’re an active adult who’s tired of injuries slowing you down—or want a personalized plan to feel stronger and more resilient—I’d love to help. Send me a DM or tap the link in my bio to get started.

Manual therapy gets a lot of hype—and yes, it 𝘤𝘢𝘯 help. Hands-on techniques like cupping, soft tissue work, and adjustments often reduce pain, loosen stiff areas, and make movement feel easier.

But here’s what we know: these effects are 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲. They work by calming the nervous system, not by fixing the root cause of pain.

That’s why the real long-term fix comes from 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡, 𝐦𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲.

Manual therapy can absolutely play a supportive role—as a reset to help you tolerate exercises or as a recovery tool. But if the plan stops there, you’re missing the key piece for lasting results.

🚨 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧…🚨
Here’s the truth: you can be making 𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 progress in physical therapy—even if the pain hasn’t completely gone away yet.
Pain is only one part of the story. It doesn’t always mean there’s damage, and it doesn’t define whether your body is healing. Some of the biggest signs of progress have nothing to do with pain at all.
Here’s what REAL progress can look like: ✅ Adding 10 lbs to your deadlift while your pain stays the same 🏋️‍♀️ ✅ Running an extra half mile before discomfort kicks in 🏃‍♀️ ✅ Going a full day at work or with your kids without needing extra breaks 🙌 ✅ Having flare-ups that are less frequent and shorter in duration 🕒
🎯 When you shift your focus to 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐝𝐨, you’re sending your nervous system a powerful message: “Movement is safe. My body is strong.”
Over time, this helps calm down an overactive pain response and rebuild trust in your body. You’ll notice that the more you focus on function, the more confident you feel—and the less power pain has over you.

Strength training isn’t just for the off-season—it’s one of the most effective ways to improve your running performance and prevent injuries. Whether you’re aiming for a new PR or just want to run pain-free, building strength and mobility is key.
✨ In my latest blog, I share how strength training helps: ✅ Boost speed and endurance ✅ Improve running efficiency ✅ Reduce risk of common injuries like shin splints, IT band pain, and tendonitis
Don’t let nagging aches or tightness linger—small issues are much easier to address now than after they’ve become chronic.
I help runners with: ✔️ Personalized strength programs ✔️ Physical therapy evaluations for injuries ✔️ Hands-on recovery work (deep tissue massage, cupping, Graston, stretching)
📩 Ready to feel and move better? All new patients (or returning clients who haven’t seen me in 2025) get $𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐨𝐟𝐟 their first session this month.
📲 DM me today to get started. Your body—and your miles—will thank you.
