ATP Physical Therapy and Performance

08/07/2026

For years I've been building a philosophy.

One that rejects the idea that pain automatically means damage.

One that views rehabilitation and training as part of the same continuum.

One that's grounded in evidence but tested every day with real athletes, real patients, and real people.

Today that philosophy finally has a home.

**Welcome to Body (Re)Building.**

This community brings together everything we've been building over the years:

• Evidence informed rehabilitation
• Bodybuilding and strength training
• Nutrition education
• Live coaching calls
• Ask a PT sessions
• Practical resources you can immediately apply

Whether you're trying to get out of pain, build muscle, improve performance, or simply understand your body better, Body (Re)Building was built for you.

No gimmicks.

No fear based messaging.

Just practical coaching, thoughtful discussion, and a community committed to getting better together.

I'd love to welcome you inside.

Modern sports rehabilitation meets bodybuilding. Coaching and consulting for lifters who want to perform, recover, and grow regardless of injury.

Pain is not random, in bodybuilding and weight training it more often than not is a capacity problem.

Every tissue has a threshold for stress. When training demand exceeds what that tissue and the system around it can tolerate, something flares up. Not because you are broken. Not because lifting or any specific movement is bad for you, but because load outpaced capacity.

This is where most people get stuck. They either stop training entirely (or are told to by an outdated clinician) or they keep forcing intensity without addressing the variables that actually lowered their tolerance in the first place. Sleep, nutrition, psychological stress, sudden volume spikes. Capacity is cumulative. So is stress.

The solution is not resting forever or pushing harder out of frustration, it is pulling both levers. Build tissue capacity through intelligent loading and progression. Reduce systemic stress when recovery bandwidth is low. That is how you keep training. That is how you rebuild beyond baseline.

Client Case Study:

Tyler came to me already knowledgeable and experienced. On appt he could make the right calls, but often over analyzed and second guessed himself. He needed an objective set of eyes, refinement to his system, and to offload much of the decision fatigue related to prep so that he could simply execute.

The beauty of that coaching relationship is that the learning curve is so rapid that small changes has the opportunity to make immediate impact on the athlete.

Along the way Tyler learned to navigate a prep with work related travel and was able to adapt his typical rigid practices to something more adaptable and flexible - without sacrificing success.

DOMS - Delayed onset muscle soreness

DOJS - Delayed onset joint soreness

One is an acronym that us bodybuilders seemingly seek out as a litmus test for progress, how hard we are training. We wear it like a badge of honor.

The other is an acronym that I completely made up, but represents a phenomenon that many of us can relate to and fear.

The stiff back upon waking, the aching shoulder when reaching, the tender knee when taking the stairs.

You didn’t feel anything when you were training, but now a day later it’s here and it’s scaring you.

What did I do wrong?
Do I need to go to the doctors?
Is it safe to train?

I want you to start to reframe the delayed onset joint soreness in the same lense that we frame delayed onset muscle soreness - as a byproduct of acutely overreaching in an under recovered state.

Does this resonate? Let me know below.

Sissy Squats.

If I had a penny for everytime someone commented “wait until you’re (insert arbitrary age) for this movement, well I’d have at least a pocketful of pennies.

Today’s post isn’t a soap box about tissue resiliency and th ability to adapt over time based on demands placed on the tissue, so I won’t godown that rabbit hole.

However, this movement is certainly on the more advanced and nuanced side of training and CAN be provocative for those with a history of knee pain.

It could be substituted to some degree with a reverse Nordic, Spanish squats, or any variation of quad focused squat patterning in that they all can be utilized to build anterior knee resiliency and tissue capacity in a rehab setting.

It has the somewhat unique capability of training the quads in a lengthened position, which can supplement more traditional wud training methodologies.

I personally utilize it as a pre-fatigue technique and as a way to add supplemental quad volume without additional axial loading or systemic fatigue caused from heavily loaded interventions.

It’s not necessary, but it works.

Client Case Study:

She’s much more than a client at this point. She’s a friend, a colleague and peer, and a pillar of the community that we are building together under the ATP Performance banner.

She sets the standard for my clients and is someone who I respect deeply.

Had the opportunity to consult with on the use of BFR training to assist our mutual client with some limiting recurrent knee pain.

Low load training for those that are load sensitive, that’s been shown to be equally effective to traditional loading schemes when used appropriately, with the added benefit of a world class pump.

Always grateful to work with such high level professionals in their craft.

A vast majority of non-contact, non-traumatic injuries are the classic “overuse” type diagnoses.

They are the individual that is pushing their body to the limits and have simply exceeded that tissue’s specific capacity at that given time.

They don’t need more volume or tone spammed with an array of “correctives.”

They need rest, recovery, a temporary deload, and a logical progression of load/volume/intensity applied to the structures to rebuild and then build better.

TLDR: you aren’t broken, there isn’t a magic exercise that will fix your issues, you simply need a system that is dynamic in nature and a clinician who is aware of your limitations to accommodate your personal journey to strength and health.
