For you
Nobody arrives here describing a body part.
They arrive describing a thing they've stopped doing. The knee is how you explain it to a doctor; the Saturday you gave up is the actual reason you're reading this. So these pages are organised the way people actually think — by what you want back.

The turn is asymmetric, the training is symmetrical, and day one is the biggest day of the year. Knee, back and shoulder rehab for people who intend to have a whole season.
For desk workers
Nobody has ever fixed this with a chair. Why the posture story hasn't helped you, what actually holds up, and rehab five blocks from most of downtown.
For pickleball players
The easiest sport in the world to start, played overhead and sideways — two directions most bodies over 50 haven't loaded in decades. Shoulder and knee work.
For hikers
Everybody trains the climb. Nobody trains the descent, which is where the knees actually go. Braking strength, and what the research says about downhill damage.
For riders
A rider's back is usually paying for a hip that stopped contributing. Why the core work you were given is the wrong core, and getting back on after a fall.
For cyclists
You got fitter and your back got worse, and those two facts are related. Road and mountain treated separately, because they are different problems.
For runners
It's the same injury every year, and that isn't bad luck — it's a pattern that was always there meeting a week where you asked for more. What the load research actually shows.
For golfers
Somebody told you your swing is why your back hurts. That story has been tested more than once and it hasn't held up. What the evidence does support instead.
Not on the list?
It doesn't matter much. The sport changes which demands we test for; it doesn't change the method. If what you do isn't here, the quickest route in is by the thing that hurts — everything we treat — or by where you are with it: still in pain, cleared but not ready, or worried about doing it again.
If there's an activity you'd like covered, email jamie@jamieatlas.com. It's how most of these got chosen in the first place.
Whatever it is you've stopped doing.
A 30-minute consultation — your history, my honest read on whether I can help, and a clear plan if I can.
