🩸 Had PRP for tendon pain—or considering it? What happens AFTER the injection matters, too.

When should you rest? When can you start strengthening? And when is it time to return to training?

In this video, I walk you through the four phases of tendon recovery after PRP:

✅ Protecting your tendon
✅ Reintroducing gentle movement
✅ Gradually rebuilding strength
✅ Returning to sport and activity

I also cover pain relief, recovery timelines, and warning signs to watch for.

Recovery isn’t just about resting—it’s about gradually rebuilding your tendon’s capacity, with guidance from your treating clinician.

Getting a cortisone injection is only part of the plan—what you do afterward matters, too.

In my newest video, I break down 5 common mistakes I see patients make after their injection:

❌ Panicking over a temporary pain flare
❌ Returning to exercise too quickly
❌ Overlooking changes in blood sugar or blood pressure
❌ Stopping rehabilitation once the pain improves
❌ Getting into a bath, pool, or hot tub too soon

I explain what to watch for and why pain relief doesn’t mean your recovery is complete.

Sprained your ankle… now which brace should you actually wear? 🤔

Compression sleeve? Lace-up brace? Rigid brace? Walking boot?

They’re NOT all designed to do the same thing — and more support isn’t always better.

In my newest video, I compare the different types of ankle braces and explain which ones I typically recommend depending on the injury and how much support you actually need.

Have you ever worn an ankle brace after a sprain? Which type did you use?

🦶 You roll your ankle playing sports or walking on uneven ground...

Do you think you automatically need an X-ray?

✅ Yes
🤔 Only sometimes
❌ No

I just uploaded a new video explaining exactly how healthcare providers decide whether an ankle needs an X-ray using the Ottawa Ankle Rules.

I didn’t expect to like this knee brace…

But after testing it in real-world movement, it actually surprised me.

I just posted my full breakdown of the Anaconda Knee Brace — including who it’s for, and who should NOT be using it.

Would you ever wear a knee brace for workouts or rehab?

If you’ve ever rolled your ankle and felt like it took forever to recover, this might help.
I just tested a brace I wish more patients knew about — it stabilizes your ankle without locking up your movement the way lace-ups and Aircasts do.

I walk through who it’s best for, how it compares to the classic braces, and when I actually recommend it in clinic.

If ankle sprains or instability have been slowing you down, this one might be useful.
