I became the clinician I needed when I was younger.

For most of my life, injury meant being told what I had to give up.

Soccer.
Basketball.
Triathlons.
Lifting.
Even playing guitar.

After 9 surgeries, countless injuries, chronic pain since 2000, and 32 doctors for my wrist alone, I eventually got tired of hearing all the reasons I couldn’t do the things that mattered to me.

So I started asking a different question:

“How CAN I keep doing what I love?”

That question changed the trajectory of my life—and ultimately became the foundation of both Coastal Performance Chiropractic and The Educated Meathead.

My experiences with injury and chronic pain are a huge part of why I care so much about helping people get back to their “event.”

And your event doesn’t have to be a sport.

Maybe it’s getting back under a barbell.
Running again.
Playing soccer.
Competing.
Playing with your kids after a long workday.
Or simply doing something you love without constantly thinking about pain.

Sometimes an injury means we have to modify the plan. Sometimes we need to rebuild capacity. Sometimes the road back takes longer than we want.

But “you can’t do that anymore” shouldn’t automatically be the starting point.

If someone has taken your event away—or you simply want to perform better at it—let’s see what we can do…together.

You are NOT broken.

You are NOT fragile. 💪
