    This is where sports medicine and performance trai This is where sports medicine and performance training meet.

As a sports medicine physician working with active adults and athletes, I’m not just thinking about strength — I’m thinking about durability, control, and long-term resilience.

The bamboo overhead squat introduces controlled instability, forcing the shoulder to stabilize in real time under load.

This is the type of training that:

• builds true shoulder stability
• reinforces movement quality
• bridges rehab back into high-level performance

Not every exercise needs to be heavy to be effective.

Sometimes, the right stimulus is precision and control.

    Always a student. Just completed my Precision Nut Always a student.

Just completed my Precision Nutrition recertification — not because I have to, but because I believe our clients deserve more than surface-level care.

At Physician Coach, we don’t guess. We integrate.

Every certification, every course, every hour spent learning is about one thing:
➡️ Becoming better for the people who trust us with their health and performance.

My approach will always pull from multiple lenses:
	•	Conventional medicine
	•	Functional medicine
	•	Sports medicine
	•	Nutrition science
	•	Strength & conditioning
	•	Rehab + movement

Because real results don’t come from one lane — they come from understanding how everything connects.

This is how we deliver:
Precision in diagnosis.
Clarity in the plan.
Confidence in execution.

Always evolving. Always refining. Always raising the standard.

If you’re looking for a different approach — one that actually makes sense for your body and your goals — we’re here.

    This is the kind of timing that matters. “Big exp This is the kind of timing that matters.

“Big expedition in 10 days… training had taken a toll, especially on my glutes.”

We were able to quickly identify what was contributing to symptoms and use targeted dry needling to address it.

Numbness improved.
Confidence restored.
Back to final prep.

When you’re pushing your body, small issues can turn into bigger problems quickly.

The key is getting the right treatment at the right time so you can keep moving forward — not shut things down.

If you’re heading into an event or dealing with something that just isn’t improving, getting clarity early can make all the difference.

    Hamstring pain that lingers — especially high up n Hamstring pain that lingers — especially high up near the glute — is often more than just a “tight muscle.”

One of the most common things I see in runners and active adults is hamstring tendinopathy or partial tearing at the tendon.

This type of injury can:

• stick around for months
• flare with running, hills, or speed work
• not fully respond to rest or stretching

This is where diagnostic ultrasound changes the game.

During your appointment, we can:

• visualize the hamstring tendon in real time
• identify tendinopathy vs partial tear
• pinpoint exactly where the injury is

No guessing. No waiting weeks for imaging.

Once we know what we’re treating, we can guide recovery more precisely.

Treatment options may include:

• ultrasound-guided needling (tenotomy)
• PRP injections to support tendon healing
• progressive loading programs to restore strength

Don’t let a nagging hamstring injury keep you benched or off the trails.

Get clarity. Treat it right. Get back to running.

    One of my favorite updates to receive 👇 This pati One of my favorite updates to receive 👇

This patient recently shared her DEXA scan progress — and it’s exactly what we’re aiming for.

Since July:

• Weight: 152 → 138 lbs
• Body fat: 26.9% → 18.2%
• Lean mass: ⬆️ increased 💪🏽 

Let’s pause on that last one.

She lost body fat AND gained muscle ‼️

That’s not accidental.

That’s intentional.

⸻

When GLP-1 medications (like tirzepatide) are used correctly, the goal isn’t just weight loss.

The goal is:

• Improve body composition
• Preserve (and build) lean mass
• Support metabolic health
• Create sustainable results

This patient also recently transitioned to a lower dose and continues to feel great — which is exactly what we want.

Less medication.
Better physiology.
Stronger body.

⸻

This is why our approach is different.

We don’t chase the scale.
We build resilient, high-functioning bodies.

⸻

If you’re curious about a medical approach to body composition and performance — we can help guide you.

    PRP is one of the most powerful tools we have in s PRP is one of the most powerful tools we have in sports medicine—but only if it’s done correctly.

The biggest mistake I see?
➡️ Blind injections

If you’re not using ultrasound, you’re guessing where the needle is going—and in tendon injuries, millimeters matter.

At Physician Coach, every PRP injection is:
✔️ Physician-performed
✔️ Ultrasound-guided in real time
✔️ Based on a full diagnostic exam

Because your diagnosis should be seen, not assumed.

If you’ve been told you have:

“Tendinitis”
“Wear and tear”

Or you’ve failed PT or injections…

There’s usually more to the story.

    One of the coolest things I get to witness in clin One of the coolest things I get to witness in clinic is the healing capacity of the human body 🤯

This ultrasound image shows a grade 3 medial gastrocnemius tear with significant retraction — the kind of injury that can look pretty dramatic early on and leave athletes wondering if they’ll get back to their sport.

Fast forward 5 weeks ⏳

After a PRP injection 💉 and — just as important — a progressive PT loading program 🏋️‍♂️, we’re already seeing some amazing changes on ultrasound.

The retraction has reduced, and we can see healthy fibrotic scar tissue forming — part of the body’s natural repair process.

Watching tissue reorganize and heal in real time on ultrasound never gets old.

Pretty incredible what the body can do when we give it the right environment to heal. 🔬

    Numbness or tingling in your hand isn’t something Numbness or tingling in your hand isn’t something you have to just live with.

Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist. Traditionally, treatment options have been limited to splints, injections, or surgery.

But ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection offers a minimally invasive option that can help relieve pressure on the nerve and restore movement.

Using diagnostic ultrasound, we can evaluate the nerve in real time and guide treatment precisely.

If you’re experiencing persistent hand numbness, tingling, or weakness, evaluation is the first step.

Waiting for referrals.
Waiting for imaging.
Waiting for answers.

At Physician Coach, injury evaluation works differently.

Every 60-minute visit includes diagnostic ultrasound performed during the appointment — so we can identify the exact tissue involved in real time.

And when appropriate, we can perform ultrasound-guided treatment in the SAME visit.

No referral loop.
No fragmented care.
No unnecessary delay.

Evaluation. Imaging. Treatment. Plan.

    Pickleball is exploding in Tacoma — and so are ove Pickleball is exploding in Tacoma — and so are overuse injuries.

The 3 most common I’m seeing:

• Knee pain (often labeled “just arthritis”)
• Pickleball elbow
• Calf strains and partial tears

What concerns me most isn’t the injury.

It’s the delay.

Being told to “just rest.”
Waiting weeks for imaging.
Trying rehab without knowing exactly which structure is injured.

That’s how acute pain becomes chronic.

At Physician Coach, every injury evaluation begins with diagnostic ultrasound during your appointment — so we can see exactly what’s going on in real time.

And when appropriate, we can begin ultrasound-guided treatment in the SAME visit — including PRP, prolotherapy, or needle tenotomy.

No guessing.
No unnecessary delay.
No automatic “stop playing.”

Just clarity, precision, and a plan to get you back on the court stronger than before.

If you’re in Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Puyallup, or University Place and dealing with persistent pickleball pain — appointments are available the same week.

Stop guessing. 
Start playing.

    “Numbers don’t lie. But they can change your life. “Numbers don’t lie. But they can change your life.”

VO₂ max isn’t just a fitness metric.
It’s one of the strongest predictors of long-term health and longevity.

When you test your VO₂ max, you’re not guessing:
• You learn how your body actually uses oxygen
• You find your true training zones
• You see how efficiently you burn fat vs carbs
• You uncover metabolic weaknesses before they become problems

And most importantly — you walk away with a plan.

At Physician Coach, we don’t just hand you numbers.
We explain what they mean in real life…
so you can train smarter, improve energy, and protect your future health.

Longevity isn’t accidental. It’s measurable. It’s trainable.

Retesting every 6 months = proof your hard work is working.

If you’re an active adult who wants to stay strong, capable, and metabolically healthy for decades — this test matters.

Ready to see where you stand?
