Engine Room Performance Physical Therapy

Being treated like just another appointment on a schedule versus being treated like an athlete with a performance goal to get back to. That’s the difference.

At other clinics, you might get 15 minutes and a stack of exercises you’ve seen a hundred times before. Here, you get one-on-one time, a plan built around your training and long term goals, and a team that actually knows your name and your story.

Everybody is an athlete and every athlete deserves expert care.

Absolute 🚀 from my boy Dom the other night!

The rec fem is unique in that it’s the only quad muscle that crosses two joints, the hip and the knee. 🦵

That biarticular setup lets it transfer power between joints instead of just generating force at one, so it acts like a conduit shuttling energy from the hip down through the knee during an explosive movement like kicking for power. It’s also why it’s more susceptible to strains and tendon avulsions, that same cross joint action puts it under tension at both ends during the wind up.

Here are a few examples of how we can bias rec fem by adjusting hip position during our therapy rod exercise prescriptions.

Hope you enjoy! What muscle do you want to see next?!

“Two more, then let’s pause”

3 mistakes we see all the time in ACL rehab 🦵

1️⃣ Not getting full extension back
Your knee needs to straighten all the way, and early. Miss this window and you’re chasing it for months. It changes how you walk, how you run, and how much load your quad can handle.

2️⃣ Not working with a provider who treats a lot of ACLs
This isn’t a rehab you want someone learning on. You want a PT who knows the timelines, the surgical procedure, and what “ready” actually looks like at each phase.

3️⃣ Doing too much too soon
The first few weeks are about earning a quiet knee. Swelling and pain shut your quad down, and nothing else progresses until they settle. Calm it down, then we build.

Every athlete deserves expert care, and this is exactly the kind of rehab where it matters most.

If you’re post-op or heading into surgery, we’d love to help.

Dental student. 🦷
Gym regular. 🏋️
Frisbee player. 🥏
Spikeball enthusiast.

Most importantly, an athlete.

He didn’t need to stop training.

He needed a plan to build his shoulder back up.

So that’s what we did. Strength. Capacity. Gradual exposure to the demands of the gym, his occupation and the field.

And he crushed it.

Back to training consistently. Back to hitting shoulders. Back to frisbee and spikeball without a second thought.

That’s the whole point. Not just getting you out of pain, but giving you the strength and confidence to go do the things you love.

Everybody is an athlete and every athlete deserves expert care.

Proud of you, Chad. 👊

Shoulder holding you back? DM us. Let’s build your plan.

The word athlete doesn’t just belong to the pros.

It belongs to the runner training through winter. The dad who wants to keep up with his kids. The lifter who’s been told to quit. The person who has something they love doing and a body they want to keep doing it with.

We built Engine Room for them.

This is what it looks like inside. One clinician, one patient, one plan built for one person. Expert care that treats your goals like they matter, because they do.

Everybody is an athlete and every athlete deserves expert care.

Stiff, achy neck from a full day at the desk? 💻🫠

You don’t need anything fancy to fix it. You need to move it against gravity.

Try these 3 simple neck drills, using your head’s own weight as resistance:

1️⃣ Cervical flexion, lying on your back
2️⃣ Cervical side bend, lying on your side
3️⃣ Cervical extension, lying on your stomach

Start smooth and within a comfortable range of motion. If they feel too easy, add resistance and build from there.

If you’re sitting most of the day, your neck needs regular movement and loading just like anything else. This is where you start.

Stick to the basics. Keep it simple. Build capacity. 💪

Try these during your next work break.

This advice is more dangerous than your actual back pain.

Back pain is complex. Telling someone to just stop lifting doesn’t fix anything, it just adds fear to a problem that was already frustrating. That kind of nocebo advice can do more damage than the pain itself ever could.

If you’ve heard this before, it’s time for a second opinion. Everybody is an athlete and every athlete deserves expert care.
