A pretty great way to spend the weekend as Athlete Care Team for Showdown Grappling | The Modern Athletic Show 002

I love this sport and understand first hand the physical demands that come with training and competing

If you train jiu jitsu in the Nashville area and have an injury, limited mobility, or just want routine maintenance care to stay on the mats, let’s work together. Schedule a chiropractic appointment at Excel SPT through the link in my bio or learn more about my services at www.excelspt.com

Yesterday, I was promoted to Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the great Shawn Williams.

I’ve been doing Jiu-Jitsu since I was 15, and it’s been a huge part of my life.

Jiu-Jitsu means a lot to me. In many ways, it reminds me of chiropractic. Neither is something you ever truly master. There’s always more to learn, more to refine, and new ways to improve. Both are pursuits you can study and practice for a lifetime.

I’ve been fortunate to train at a lot of different places and meet countless incredible people along the way. I’m grateful for everyone who’s been a part of the journey.

I received my brown belt almost exactly five years ago, and now here we are.

Year 34 is starting out on a high note.

Two cases where dry needling was a great addition to the treatment plan.

One of the therapies I use in the clinic is dry needling. It involves using thin, acupuncture-style needles inserted into targeted tissues, commonly muscles, to help manage pain and improve movement.

Some common cases where I may use it include:

* Neck pain and tightness
* Radiating symptoms into the arms or legs
* Golfer’s and tennis elbow
* Tight or irritated calves
* Muscle pain and restricted mobility

Dry needling can be a useful tool for helping people feel better and move more comfortably, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

I like combining it with hands-on treatment, exercise, and progressive loading to help people not only feel better now, but build the strength and capacity to keep doing what they love.

The goal isn’t just temporary relief. It’s getting you back to doing what you want to do.

Curious if dry needling could be a good fit for what you’re dealing with? Shoot me a DM, and let’s talk.

Nothing clinical, just super hyped to learn from one of my favorite grapplers of all time.

The sport of Jiu-Jitsu is cool because you can train and learn from the top guys in the sport. And wear the same super sweet Carbyne kit as them 😏.

Reviews like this get me fired up.

I truly have a passion and a mission to help people feel better, move better, and get back to doing the things they love.

I’m constantly learning, growing, and working to build Excel SPT into the kind of clinic I want it to be—one where people feel heard, have a clear plan, and get high-quality care tailored to them.

If there’s something that’s been holding you back, don’t just keep working around it.

Let’s figure out what’s going on and build a plan to get you back to doing what you love.

Shoot me a DM or reach out to the office. I’d love to help.

I have a passion for working with athletes. Working with people who push their bodies, want to perform at their best, and want to get the most out of what their bodies can do gets me excited.

But I also love working with anyone who has an injury, wants more out of themselves, and is willing to put in the work to get better.

At Excel SPT, we see a long list of injuries and work with people in all kinds of circumstances — from competitive athletes trying to get back to their sport to everyday people who simply want to move, feel, and function better.

We provide specialized conservative care for people who want more than a temporary fix. Whether your goal is getting back on the mat, back in the gym, back on the course, or just back to doing the things you love, our goal is to help you get there.

No two cases are the same. But our general outline for getting people better is outlined above.

We use a person’s story and goals, combined with their physical testing, to create a customized plan to get them where they want to be.

We take a multifaceted approach using hands-on techniques, rehab programming, and progressive strength training to help everyday and competitive Jiu-Jitsu athletes feel better, move better, and stay on the mats.

The demands Jiu-Jitsu puts on your neck are different than most sports.

We’re constantly getting rolled up on, pulled, pushed, and cranked into positions our neck isn’t used to.

That’s why having a strong, resilient neck is so important for grapplers.

And if you’re already dealing with neck pain, this is a sign that strengthening your neck needs to happen ASAP.

These are two of my favorite neck exercises to add in because they’re progressive, scalable, and have a really low barrier to entry.

You don’t need an expensive Iron Neck or a bunch of fancy equipment.

Start low. Start slow. Build from there.

Give these a try and let me know how they go.

And if neck pain has been keeping you from training or you’re not sure how to safely build your neck back up, shoot me a DM. I’d be happy to help you figure out a plan.

I know these whiteboards are filled with my bad handwriting and probably don’t make much sense to most people

But they weren’t written for most people.

They were written for the person sitting across from me.

Every note, exercise, and thought is part of a customized plan to help that person overcome pain, build capacity, and get back to doing what they love.

No pre-written handouts. No generic game plan.

Just teamwork, problem solving, and a plan built around the person in front of me.

A lot of this eventually gets transferred into the training app I use with my patients so they have everything they need between visits. But I love using the whiteboard to finish a session—laying out what we’ve found, how things are going, and where we need to go next.

Your body, your goals, and your situation are different from everyone else’s.

If you’re tired of generic advice and want a plan that’s actually built around you, come check us out.

Here’s one of my typical lower-body training days:

Power: Jumps or Olympic lifts

Strength: 2–3 compound movements

Accessories: 1–2 exercises

Spine/Core: 1 exercise

Conditioning: Air bike or rower sprints

Nothing fancy or crazy—just a simple approach that I can consistently execute and continue to progress.

I think training should help you build a body that can handle the things you want to do, whether that’s Jiu-Jitsu, golf, playing with your kids, or just feeling good day to day.

If you have questions about sensible strength training or an injury that’s holding you back, reach out. Let’s see what’s going on and figure out a plan.
