POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The past month has been a tough one in the running department 😅 You can do everything “right” and there’s always something out of your control. In this case, a misstep on a flat gravel path.
A big goal can disappear from the calendar in the blink of an eye, but the belief must stay. The fire needs to continue burning bright. I spent the better part of this year—outside of work—running and training my mind, body and soul to race in the elite field at the Run Rabbit Run 100 miler. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to the start line. I went through the grieving process as one does but I noticed that I was able to move through it with grace, not dwell and immediately feel excitement for those racing and for the future. I didn’t feel FOMO I felt sad to miss the celebration. This is something to savor.
A lot of incredibly positive things have happened this year and that race was simply a bump on the larger timeline of our lives. It will be there again as will other opportunities to toe the line. This reset has been an opportunity to focus and reflect on what truly matters in life— and I’ve concluded that community, health, love, kindness and hope are pretty high on the list.

Thank you for everyone in my corner, you not only support me but you make me a better person along the way 💕

An animal physio’s tools of the trade.
.
To be able to assess and treat our animals, physios require a few items to treat and evaluate the effectiveness of our treatments. These are some of the items I use most frequently;
.
Measuring tools including a tape measure to track muscle girth/size and a goniometer (not pictured) to assess joint angles.
.
Reflex hammer to assess the health of the nervous system when an animal presents with neurological signs and symptoms.
.
ETDs (electrotherapeutic devices) including red light therapy, ultrasound, estim etc that use sound waves or controlled electrical currents to help manage pain, inflammation and muscle strengthening in certain conditions.
.
Other than my 🖐️ manual therapy tools including a @wavetoolstherapy to help carry out soft tissue techniques. This really works well on larger animals that require more pressure, such as horses.
.
And of course a treat bag because no rehab session would be complete without treats! Most dogs do very well with a bit of motivation to help them engage in their exercise program.

Do you have tennis elbow? Do you get pain in your forms or hands? Do you have limited range of motion in your elbow? Do you have tendinitis? In this video, we will look at releasing the fascia in the forearms, around the elbow, and in the palms. Releasing the fascia can help increase circulation, improve pain, and help open up the area for deeper / muscle release work. Give these releases a try and let me know what you think in the comments below!

In this video, we use The Wave Tool from @wavetoolstherapy 🩵 This is the tool that I, personally, use at home and with clients. It is extremely economically, friendly and easy to use. This tool was created by a physical therapist for practitioners and those looking to release their tissue at home. I love this product so much and I hope you do too! If you’d like to purchase The Wave Tool, go to the link in my bio or www.wavetoolstherapy.com and use code ELITE15 for 15% off!

Wild Horse Challenge 🐎 ✔️

What a weekend! Two weeks ago @tgehrlein and I spent the weekend riding and running out in De Beque, CO.

Day 1 was a 46-mile gravel ride with just shy of 4k vert (65 miles with 5,800ft vert for Thomas). Followed by a half marathon trail race on Sunday 🏃‍♀️

I have no idea how to race a bike so it was really cool to try something like this and get through it in one piece 😅 some of the technical downhill and washboard was rugged but I felt really strong going up and kept making time back so that was a plus!

The 1/2 marathon was humbling but got it done and, again, going up felt strongest 💪

Shoutout to all the awesome organizers, volunteers and fellow racers out there!

I was the only woman to complete the Challenge (bike + run), so that was a cool bonus 😎

Thanks to @jessetrich for getting me ready with nutrition and training 🙌

In this video, I will show you how to fascially release 3 specific areas for typical plantar fasciitis pain. I use this exact technique on my clients with this exact tool.

Essentially, after working on enough clients with plantar fasciitis, I found a similar pattern in the fascia in their low leg. Most notably, the fascia below and medial to the patellar. Releasing this area, the other two areas, and rolling/scraping the bottom of the foot, is extremely beneficial for relieving symptoms. Give these releases a try and let me know what you think in the comments below! I’m happy to answer any questions :)

For this release, we are using The Wave Tool. This is a light weight fascial scraper created by 2 physical therapists that needed an ergonomic and affordable way to scrape their clients fascia. This is the exact same tool I use in my massage practice because it absolutely saves my hands. Plus, my clients like it better because it’s not cold stainless steel. To purchase this tool, go to the link in my bio or www.wavetoolstherapy.com and use code ELITE15 for 15% off 💚

Comment what fascia scraping areas you want to see next!! Happy to make more videos with this tool.

A mini session with Coach Pat, who is a personal trainer at a climbing gym in the Bay Area.

A few things I did with Graston working on the whole connected chain on the left side as he was feeling some pain in his elbow. He can feel the relief right away.

As I was talking to him about the @wavetoolstherapy how he can do it for himself as a daily routine to help with speeding up the recovery and to take care of the muscles better.

Some inspiration to level-up your rehab, prehab, and training.

I use external tools almost on the daily (between my cupping set, stainless steel scraping tools, WaveTool, lacrosse balls, and foam rollers). There are so many unique tools that we can implement into our self-care and rehab programs that can help to reduce our recovery time, help us warm-up for training, and that can actually produce effective tissue change.

It can be intimidating to learn how to use these tools on your own, or where to start. There are ample resources on the internet— but if you don’t want to sift through the chaos, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to point you in the right direction and share people’s work who I trust.

Big shoutout to @wavetoolstherapy for making such amazing products, and leading our community towards more autonomous healthcare.
