Active Recovery + Performance

With vacations, travel, and back-to-school craziness happening, we’ve decided to push our Open House to later this year when everyone is back in a routine!

And we’re making it even better! Our Open House is becoming a Fall Patient Appreciation Party with fun for everyone. 🎉🍂

We’ll have more details and a new date coming soon, so stay tuned! For now, enjoy what’s left of summer!

- The Active Team

Tricia is not your average physical therapist! 💪✨

After having three kids and staying highly active herself, Tricia saw firsthand how little support active women often receive during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. So she decided to do something about it.

While pregnant with her third child, she became certified as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist. She later became a Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism Coach so she could provide even better care for pregnant and postpartum athletes.

Tricia understands that active women do not just want to “take it easy” forever. They want to run, lift, train, compete, parent, and feel strong in their bodies again without guessing what is safe or being told to simply wait it out.

She also brings a background as a certified personal trainer, which helps her bridge the gap between rehab and performance for highly active patients.

Outside of work, Tricia has been a lifelong runner, has completed 10+ marathons, including Boston several times, and recently made the switch to trail ultramarathons, finishing as first female in a 50-miler last spring! 👏

She is also a huge fan of HIIT workouts, garage training, and what most people would consider an unreasonable number of daily pushups and pull-ups.

Clinical expertise. Real-life experience. Serious athletic credibility. Just another incredible member of the team you get here at Active.

Come meet Tricia and and the rest of the team at our Open House on August 15 from 9 AM–12 PM or call 804.378.6035 to book your appointment today!

Sam brings a rare mix of clinical depth and athletic experience to massage therapy at Active. 💪

She has been a licensed massage therapist for 11 years and specializes in manual lymphatic drainage, post-surgical swelling, prenatal discomfort, autoimmune conditions, cancer-related care, and sports massage. She has also worked with professional and elite athletes, including members of the , and

Massage at Active is not just about relaxing for an hour. Sam uses hands-on problem solving, different techniques, and years of experience to help patients recover, reduce discomfort, improve movement, and get back to doing what they love!

As a former softball player herself, she understands athletes and especially enjoys helping people support performance, recovery, and injury reduction.

Outside of work, Sam’s two sons are the joy of her world! She also loves exercise, gardening, hiking, kayaking, making new recipes, and spending time with family.

Clinical skill. Specialized training. Real experience with patients and athletes of all kinds. Just another incredible member of the team you get here at Active.

Come meet Sam and and the rest of the team at our Open House on August 15 from 9 AM–12 PM or call 804.378.6035 to book your appointment today!

Happy ! 👏 Meet Jim!

For a long time, Jim was waking up every night with numbness in his hand. He even tried sleeping with a wrist brace, but nothing seemed to solve the problem.

After a few visits with our team and staying consistent with the exercises Mills and Dr. Hancock gave him to do at home, things started to change.

Now, Jim has been symptom-free for more than two months and is finally getting a good night's sleep. 🙌 Way to put in the work, Jim! We're so glad you're feeling better.

No two people train the same, so why should their workouts?

That’s why Deemah doesn’t train from a template.

She works with triathletes, ultramarathoners, golfers, tennis players, soccer and lacrosse athletes, and people who simply want to get stronger, move better, and feel better in everyday life.

Every program is built around the person in front of her. Your goals, your schedule, your sport, your strengths, and what you need to keep making progress.

And she’s been there herself. Deemah has competed in powerlifting and recently trained for a strongwoman competition, where she pulled a 12,000-pound truck. 💪

Whether you’re training for your next race, getting back after an injury, or just want to feel stronger, Deemah will meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.

Just one more reason we’re proud to have her on the Active team!

Happy ! 💪 Meet Keith!

A few years ago, Keith came to Active after struggling with injuries that had taken him out of triathlon. After seeing several providers without much success, he wasn't sure he'd be able to get back to racing. Fast forward to today, and he recently completed his third Half Ironman! 🏊🚴🏃

Throughout training, Keith stayed consistent, not just with his workouts, but with taking care of his body. He worked with Dr. Green, Dr. Tricia, Sam, Deemah, and the rest of the team to keep moving well so he could perform at his best on race day.

Seeing patients get back to the things they love is why we do what we do, and watching Keith get back to racing has been incredibly rewarding. Way to go, Keith! We can't wait to see what's next.

Patient shoutout to Jack! 🚵‍♂️

Jack races downhill mountain bikes, and when neck and knee pain started getting in the way, he came to see Dr. Hancock.

After finishing his treatment plan, he transitioned into personal training with us to keep building strength, speed, and endurance.

Last month, Jack traveled to Whistler, BC to ride and cleared a 40-foot gap while feeling stronger and faster than ever.

You’re awesome, Jack! We can’t wait to see what you do next!

– Dr. Hancock
