Outdoor Physical Therapy for Outdoor Athletes in Denver
A couple weeks ago Jess and I were at REI picking up a few supplies and gear for some upcoming adventures this Summer and I was reflecting on their brand. I took a step back and thought, how would people describe REI if you asked them? Most people would say, its an outdoor clothing and gear store and it got me thinking. These are people at Tundra Performance and Physical Therapy that we work with and treat everyday, outdoor athletes. Why couldn’t we be described as an Outdoor Physical Therapy company?
A Rainy Memorial Day Weekend in Colorado
This past weekend, along with a few family and friends, we were able to slip away to the mountains to find some rest and relaxation. As more people rolled in, the updates of the rain followed. Couldn't believe how much rain dropped this past weekend and heres to hoping everyone was able to find some sunshine in there, got the yardwork in the were looking to complete, and got out a bit this past weekend.
A Giant Pain in the Butt: Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy
Proximal hamstring tendinopathy is a common injury in many runners due to the hamstring’s job in slowing down your limb right before it hits the ground. What does this really mean? It means the hamstring tendon, where it attaches at the pelvis, overtime became irritable usually as a result of a change in training or weakness.

Nobody Would Actually Pick Winter
7 Years ago, Jess and I were visiting with her family, Josh and Emily, in Durango and got into a heated debate about which season was the best. We weighed out pros and cons of the weather, what activities were available, and the emotions that each season stirred up. There was conclusive agreement that we all loved parts of all four seasons Colorado has to offer and it's a big reason as to why we choose to live here. Blessed to get over 300+ days of sun, powder days dumping feet of snow on the mountain within a couple days, and beautiful changing colors in the Fall and Spring.
Dungeons & Dynamometers in Denver
The title makes it sound like we went to a comic con conference. However, instead this past weekend we explored all things dynamometry and testing through a course called Dungeons & Dynamometers. I personally loved it because it validated all of my confirmation bias about standardization of testing and what goes into fulfilling a detailed, comprehensive evaluation with our patients. What's not to love when you feel heard!
