Rehab chiropractor who specializes in reducing pain through movement.

Running season means a lot more miles and usually a lot more runners dealing with the same injuries.

Different injuries require different approaches, but the common denominator is building enough capacity to handle the demands of running. Mobility matters, strength matters, and most importantly, progressively loading the involved tissues MATTERS.

Getting your arm overhead isn’t just the shoulder. Your scap has to rotate, your humerus has to externally rotate and your spine has to extend so the scap has room.

A stretch doesn’t help build it.

If you can get overhead lying down but not standing, you’ve got the range. You just can’t hold it.

If you’re getting adjusted every week for the same SI joint pain, something needs to change 🤦🏼‍♂️

The SI joint is one of the most stable joints in your body. We’re talking a few degrees of motion, max. It’s designed to handle force, not move around.

It doesn’t “go out” every week.

Adjustments can calm things down and make movement feel better short term. They don’t realign your pelvis, and they don’t make the area more stable on their own.

One of the biggest misconceptions about knee pain is that the joint needs more rest when sometimes what it really needs is better movement and the ability to tolerate more load.

The knee is designed to move through flexion, extension, and even small amounts of rotation.

That’s why I prescribe exercises that focus on restoring active range of motion and increasing strength through different positions.

For me, it’s about having another tool that can help support movement while we work on improving mobility, strength, and tolerance to load.

The goal isn’t to rely on tape or passive treatments forever. It’s to use tools that complement active rehab while building a knee that can tolerate the demands of training, sport, and everyday life.

Mobility needs to do two major things:

1️⃣ Bring you to your end range of usable motion.

2️⃣ Actually challenge you

It’s not meant to be passive and easy. However it is relative to the person and their level of experience or ability to move.

Here are a few of the common general thoracic spine mobility drills I use with my clients at REBUILT.

Knee pain when you twist, squat, or pivot? Could be your meniscus.

Meniscus pain usually lives along the joint line. It can come with swelling, stiffness, and a clicking or catching feeling.

The right rehab can make a big difference. Restoring range of motion and building strength around the knee often means less pain and better movement.

BUT Some cases do need more. A knee that locks, gives way, or blew up after a specific injury should get checked out.

Achilles tendinopathy isn’t really an inflammation problem. It’s a load problem. The tendon is doing more than it was ready for, too fast.

More running, more jumping, new shoes, a sudden spike in training.

The tissue starts breaking down faster than it can rebuild. Collagen gets disorganized and the tendon loses its ability to handle load.

So you rest. Pain calms down. You go back to running and it flares right back up.

Isometrics change that. Holding a contraction lets you load the tendon without the irritation of fast, repetitive movement.

They often take the edge off pain, and they start rebuilding the tendon’s tolerance from day one.

Swipe for the isometrics I use with my Achilles patients.

Ligaments don’t blow out from one pitch. They break down over months of throwing on tissues that lack capacity.

The flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor digitorum superficialis sit directly over the anterior bundle. When they have capacity they take stress off the ligament.

Build the grip, the flexor pronator mass, and the posterior cuff.

One thing I look at with almost every patient dealing with shoulder issues is their ability to rotate their shoulder.

Your rotator cuff plays a huge role in this. It’s not just about stabilizing the shoulder, but also being able to actively control internal and external rotation.

Whether you’re throwing, lifting, pressing, or reaching overhead, your shoulder needs rotational capacity to move efficiently.

When you’re limited in that motion, your body may start finding it somewhere else like your thoracic spine and elbow.

That’s why I spend a lot of time working on both rotational mobility AND strength.

High ankle sprains are a unfortunately a common occurrence in sports like football, soccer, and basketball where cutting and pivoting are prominent.

Unlike a traditional lateral ankle sprain, a high ankle sprain involves the syndesmosis, the ligaments connecting the tibia and fibula just above the ankle joint.

These injuries often require a more gradual rehab progression due to the demands placed on those structures during running, jumping, and changing direction.
