Introducing 30 days of shoulder health. For the next 30 days (weekdays only), I’m going to share one observation per day from the frontlines of shoulder health. I have the privilege of running a rehab clinic, specializing in shoulder rehab, where patients have experienced the effectiveness of progressive rehab, where I’ve seen the biggest challenges they face post-surgery, and have developed deep transformations with patients of all athletic backgrounds (novice, advanced, experienced, retired) and sports (baseball, bodybuilding, CrossFit, oly, and most recently Hyrox), I get to help hundreds of patients a year, and I want to bring that help to those tired of cookie cutter programs and oversold claims who want a solution to shoulder health. There’s just one rule: 1) Each day is actionable & understandable. First post coming later.

A lot of new faces here this week. Welcome. I'm a sports chiropractor, rehab coach and former strength and conditioning professional with a passion for human performance and independence. I spend my days helping people keep their neck, shoulder and back healthy for the long haul, and I teach clinicians how to do the same without fear mongering. So let's put me to work. What's the question you've always wanted to ask a chiro/PT/orthopedist but never had time to in a 10-minute appointment? Or because you were afraid to ask? Drop it below. I'll answer them this week.

Just picked up a keg, two strongman stones, and farmer carry blocks for free. Winter training just got a lot more fun.

This is what a treatment office should look like.

9 months in the making…

I didn’t get to go hunting this weekend, but I’m spending the weekend with some amazing clinicians teaching them how to use dry needling to improve outcomes, how to communicate for better compliance, and how to create programs patients actually improve through. It’s been a great Saturday. Time to go do a little work, have a drink and maybe enjoy a cigar before day 2 tomorrow. Hunting isn’t over… it’s just waiting for me to show up.

Teaching on a Saturday

What are the odds!

First world coffee problems.

If you haven’t watched The Gentleman season 2. You are missing out. I cannot see a way there’s no season 3

The impossible has now been made possible.

This year has flown by. Just a few days ago my wife and I returned home with our first baby and now he’s 9 months old. I’m about to head out to teach our last Dry Needling & Rehab for the year and I’m already scheduling courses and plans for January. Holly heck.

Somebody DM'd me asking about a foot mobility routine they could do without starting a program with me. Here's my go-to mobility video for foot an ankle mobility. If any of them hurt while you are doing them, it's time you invest in your own rehab and stop looking for personalized answers for free. youtu.be/HczKsd8ymTU?si=cpei…

Hamstring injuries? Make them a thing of the past. Or better yet, get them moving and start the rehab process right from the comfort of your own home. youtu.be/Is1mRPHHwQk?si=Mrpl…

25% of overhead athletes will experience shoulder pain in their lifetime. That’s 1 in every 4 strength athletes, CrossFit athletes, and even Hyrox athletes. 40% of them will suffer from shoulder pain for over a year. This just elevates the chance of pain happening again. Guess how many of them seek treatment?

In ten years, your health and what you are capable of doing regardless of your age will be the symbol of high status.
