About this listen

I spent six straight hours working on 17 student athletes at a George Mason track meet — runners, throwers, different events, different bodies.


But by the end of the day, I realized I wasn’t treating 17 different problems.


I was seeing the same two patterns over and over again.


Runners with low back, hamstring, knee, and calf tension.

Throwers with shoulder pain that actually started in the chest and shoulder blade.


And it hit me…


The body doesn’t care what you do.

It only knows the patterns you live in.


These are elite, conditioned athletes — and their bodies were telling the exact same story I see every week on my table with parents, desk workers, first responders, and veterans.


Recovery is built into an athlete’s schedule.


But the people who carry the heaviest physical and mental loads? It’s not.


That’s why this matters.

That’s why MilFirst exists.


In this episode, we talk about the patterns your body is living in — and a simple reset you can do right now.


If you’re local, you can find me at Woodhouse Day Spa in Gainesville, VA.
