I help active adults and athletes get out of pain so they can amplify their movement, sport, & life

Warm ups before a run can be kept simple. Three exercises runners can add before a run to get prepped:

Low pogo variations - increases neuromuscular control, power, joint stability, and bone density

Single leg explosive RDL - combines single leg balance, foot and ankle stability with core control and stacking

Lateral lunge shift + reach - opens up the hips, stretches adductors, adds trunk rotation, and drives weight shifting into ankles and feet

Most running related injuries aren’t random.
 They happen when the demands of running exceed your tissue capacity.

Tissue capacity = how well your muscles, bones, joints, and nervous system can handle force, fatigue, and repetition.
When you build: • Strong muscles → better shock absorption • Strong bones → resilience over time • Quality mobility → joints that move well under load • Proper hydration & recovery → tissues that perform when needed • Fatigue resistance → fewer breakdowns late in runs • Neuromuscular control → smoother, safer movement
You don’t just train to run faster. You train so your body can keep running.

Build capacity first. Miles come second.

After age 30, we lose about 3–8% of muscle per decade without strength training.

Lower strength is strongly linked to higher injury risk, joint pain, and loss of function.
Progressive loading is what builds tissue tolerance — not rest alone.

Longevity is about having the capacity to keep doing what you love.

Exercise isn’t just about getting stronger or looking better.

Intentional movement improves blood flow to the brain, sharpens focus, and helps regulate stress so decisions feel clearer instead of forced.

Train your body, and your brain shows up better for work, family, and life.

Pain is an invaluable teacher. Experiencing pain is always individualistic. Pain is important to experience and is normal—pain all the time is not normal. But, there are ways to change your body and brain’s response to pain. It is inevitable that your brain and body will change. But HOW your brain and body change is not inevitable.

Inflammation isn’t the enemy—it’s your body’s “clean-up and repair” crew.

It shows up after injury, training, or even stress, not to hurt you—but to help you heal.
Sometimes, though, the alarm system stays on too long. That’s when pain sticks around after the tissue is healed.

Understanding the difference between damage and sensitivity is a game-changer.

Increasing your own knowledge about pain and inflammation helps to navigate your own rehab process.
