Would you rather have surgery or great physiotherapy care? Most people I know, and our patients would take the Physio!
✨I recently saw a patient who had seen multiple orthopedics for her hip impingement.
✨She was told she’d need surgery to fix her impingement. However, she decided to come in to her evaluation with us and here’s what we found…
✨Many things to improve on! There was mobility, strength, motor control and more. These are low hanging fruit that when we address will most likely fix her pain and get her back to lifting and running without pain! 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏋️♀️
✨If you’re in pain and don’t want to get a surgery for your *insert pain here* we can help🤝
✨Our 3 step process to your recovery✨
We use a personalized 1:1 approach to
1. Find the root cause of your pain
2. Address the underlying root cause
3. Give you the tools to stay pain free long term!

Knee pain when running or lifting? Your ankles can be a sneaky cause of knee pain and other issues! Here’s how I improve ankle mobility in patients with a stiff ankle joint!💪
✨First a traction manipulation goes a long way. This patient didn’t have as much stiffness with this but there was a small audible crack!
✨Second thing was an ankle mobilization with movement. I’m essentially helping this patients ankle move the way it is supposed to.
✨As your knee goes over your toes the shoe joint glides backwards. Pressing down helps the joint glide backwards.
If you’re working out or lifting with pain it doesn’t have to be that way🤝 Shoot us a DM or click the link in the bio to sign up for a free consultation with a movement expert.

If you’ve ever been interested in how to test your glute strength at home… here you go!
I call it the glute bridge test. The goal is to bridge up with both feet, kick one leg out, and hold it up!
✨If your pelvis drops or rotates off to the side, this indicates you could use some glute strength/activation exercises!
Give this a shot at home!
If your hip drops and it’s hard to hold the position you might benefit from some Physio! Especially if you have knee pain or another kind of ache or pain.

Is MOBILITY the secret sauce to your running?? In this episode, Dr. Matt Silver, DPT (@mattsilverpt@alphaprojectphyzio ) dive into the science of mobility and tissue quality! We talk about how hip extension, ankle dorsiflexion, and thoracic mobility are KEY for not only performance but long-term running success, talk about tightness - when you need to stretch vs strengthen - AND learn the surprising importance of big toe mobility for that perfect push-off! Plus, Dr. Matt teaches how to use those lacrosse balls and foam rollers properly!

This is how I assess for a runners ability to counter rotate. Think of counter rotation as your ability to rotate through space when walking and running!
✨The pelvis and shoulders move in opposite directions! This takes mobility, strength, and most importantly motor control.
✨Having the ability to rotate through your spine is HUGE! This will help you run more efficiently and keep injuries away! A win win 🏆
If you’d like to learn more about improving your counter rotation check out our next reel!

If you’re crossing-over excessively that may be causing pain or injuries when running!😬
✨Essentially, this stresses and strains the inside ankle and outside hip musculature. With small amounts of running volume this may not be an issue.
✨However, this can catch up to you if you are running ALOT of mileage!
