Got absolutely roasted by an 11 year old athlete recently. 😂 The conversation went something like this:
Her: what’s your favorite football position?
Me: ooh good question… probably a cornerback.
Her: Is that because that’s the only position you know?
Me: 💀
One of my favorite things about being a sports PT is also being able to help my friends with their injuries and helping them get back to their sport even stronger 🥹
If I had a dollar for every time an athlete decided to do something before I told them they were cleared for it, I could pay off my student loans 🤦🏽♀️
Working with one of my high schoolers today and mentioned something I did in high school and they responded “oh I think I was in preschool at that time” is this what it feels like to be old? 🙈
Just recently pulled together my updated 5 year plan that consists of intense career and academic pursuits and shared it with my sister tonight who listened intently and responded at the end something along the lines of “love it, but also, there’s this guy I want you to meet” 🤦🏽♀️
Did I do the exercises with my patient my last hour at the clinic because I didn’t want to go to the gym after? Maybe… Did it also help motivate her? 💯 Sometimes it’s a double win
Working with high level athletes is super humbling. Had a patient post ACL working on their return to sport program. Did I try to demonstrate the explosive power exercise & almost pull a hammy? Maybe… 😅 I can rehab ya, but don’t make me do the same exercises I’m prescribing 🙈
Nothing like trying to sleep and instead finding ants in the bed! 🙈 Shoutout to Daryl who’s been the real MVP helping me navigate the house the last 7 weeks. Who would’ve thought we’d have to kill so many ants. RIP the little homies ����
SO FREAKING PROUD OF THIS TEAM!!! My voice hurts like heck from cheering so much this weekend (also my hands from all the manual therapy I did on tight muscles) but I wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍

Second time flying since I got tsa pre-check, second time getting “randomly” selected for a pat down. At this point it feels targeted and no longer random 😂😂
Today a patient of mine said “it’s Friday!”. To which I responded “yeah it is!” “Uhh Rachel, it’s Sunday” one of the PT’s whispered. That’s when I realized the pt I was talking to has dementia and working weekends has my days all messed up. Well, technically today’s my Friday 😂
After work, I visited my grandmother who’s in memory care. Her memory is getting worse and she only occasionally remembers who I am. Today she looked me straight in the eyes and said “I like beautiful people and you’re more than that. I love you so much. 🤍” BRB gonna go cry now
Not me waddling around the day of a tryout because I finally had time to workout again and gave myself DOMS. My gpa thrived the last month of school, but my fitness did not 😂
