Today I break down the most valuable exercise for skiers.  I get asked daily, and I've been meaning to record an episode to reference when people pose the question. 

This episode is very general and as a result I've decided to produce several spin-off episodes further breaking down the contents.

PT Revolution started in August 2020.   Jason Collin, Justin Dorn, Ian Anderson, & Angie Hagenah got together after being furloughed from the local hospital system in March of 2020.  After months of furlough, the 4 of them got together and ultimately decided to start PT Revolution.  They  share the same philosophy of the importance of training and love the concept of performance therapy and wanted to create a business that brought this to the mountain athletes in Tahoe.   They offer not only performance physical therapy but also performance training and coaching services. They specialize in sports and orthopedic physical therapy and performance training and all believe in the importance of  training to build capacity, strength, stability, mobility and improve overall performance.
