As a child, a man of God placed his hands on my shoulders and told me,
“Your hands are your gift. You will help many people with them.”

At the time, I didn’t fully understand what he meant.

Now, looking back, I truly believe God spoke to me that day.

For the past 17 years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping thousands of people regain function — to walk without pain, to run again, to play with their children, to return to work, and to enjoy the simple moments that make life meaningful.

Physical therapy is more than a profession to me — it’s a calling.

I feel blessed and honored to use my hands, knowledge, and experience to change lives every day.

If you or someone you love needs guidance, support, or a plan for recovery, please reach out. Even if we’re not the right fit to treat you directly, we are always happy to help you navigate the healthcare system and point you in the right direction.

Understanding Return to Sport After an ACL Injury

We’ve had several patients ask why Lindsey Vonn was able to compete after sustaining an ACL injury during training.

From a rehabilitation standpoint, here’s what’s important to understand:

An ACL injury does not automatically prevent an athlete from participating in sport. In certain cases, highly trained individuals may demonstrate:
• Exceptional lower-extremity strength
• Advanced neuromuscular control
• Years of sport-specific movement training

These factors can sometimes allow athletes to function at a high level despite ligament injury. However, this does not mean the knee is fully stable or that the risk of injury is eliminated.

Without an intact ACL, the body often relies more heavily on surrounding muscles and joints for stability. Over time, or during high-demand activities, this can increase stress on other structures in the lower extremity.

When additional injuries occur, such as fractures, the rehabilitation process typically becomes:
• More complex
• Longer in duration
• More demanding in terms of strength, mobility, and overall recovery

Key takeaway:
Every injury and every athlete is different. Decisions regarding return to sport should always be made on an individual basis, considering strength, movement quality, risk factors, and long-term joint health.

At R&R Orthopedic Physical Therapy, we focus on:
• Evidence-based rehabilitation
• Reducing compensatory movement patterns
• Helping patients make informed, safe decisions about activity and recovery

If you have questions about an injury, return-to-sport readiness, or long-term joint health, we’re here to help.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed a steady increase in pickleball-related injuries.

The causes vary, but many players mention:
• Long wait times between matches
• Suddenly playing more hours when court availability opens up
• Jumping back in without much warm-up or preparation

Interestingly, this lines up with recent research showing that overuse and increased frequency of play are among the most common contributors to pickleball injuries. Awareness around warm-ups, strength, and mobility seems to play a big role in staying healthy long term.

Besides a sore ego, Jake Paul probably woke up with a stiff neck too 😅

Don’t be like Jake.
Before the stiffness sets in, try this quick 5-minute neck routine every morning to improve mobility, posture, and reduce tension.

Your neck takes enough hits from phones, desks, and long days; no boxing required.

Save this routine and make it part of your daily reset.

🎄💻 End-of-Year Hustle Check! 💻🎄

It feels like everyone is working extra hard right now, closing out projects, hitting quotas, or earning a little extra cash for those holiday gifts 🎁

But here at R&R, we’re seeing the other side of the grind 👀
More screen time = more neck tension, tight shoulders, and cranky low backs.

The good news?
👉 Small daily ergonomic adjustments can make a BIG difference.

Take a quick look at this proper office ergonomics guide and see how a few simple changes to your desk setup can help relieve neck and low-back pain, without adding more to your to-do list.

…and if this doesn’t do the trick 😉 give us a call.
We’ve got you covered.
