💥 Meet Coach Brian! 💥
Brian Womac brings years of experience in strength and performance coaching and has been helping people reach their fitness goals since 2018. His approach focuses on building strong movement foundations first, then progressively increasing intensity to help clients train safely, improve performance, and prevent injury.
In addition to coaching, Brian serves as the Wellness & Fitness Center Director for the FAA and is completing his degree in Exercise Science. He specializes in strength training, hypertrophy, corrective exercise, and functional training.
Brian has also competed in bodybuilding and trained in multiple mixed martial arts disciplines — including Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, and Wrestling — which shaped his disciplined and technical approach to training. 💪
Outside the gym, Brian enjoys hiking, swimming, and snowboarding. He stays busy with his wife, their two young boys, and their Bernese Mountain Dog.
Be sure to say hi and welcome Brian! 👋

QUANTITY or QUALITY?
When clients perform heel raises after injury/surgery — the quantity of heel raises (3 sets of 10) or the quantity of weight/resistance added (50#) is often the primary measure of success— BUT while QUANTITY is important, we also need to address the QUALITY of the movement 👉
✔️ How high can you get that heel up?
👉 Are you able to use the full range of the ankle — accessing greater range of gastroc -soleus complex?
✔️ Where does the movement occur?
👉 Can you keep the big toe/5th MTP in contact with the ground — and if not, is this a big toe mobility issue or is this a body awareness/neuromuscular issue?
✔️ Are there compensations as the heel rises and what could they potentially mean?
👉 Does the ankle turn out/overpronate or the foot pop into supination at end range?
✔️ And more…
Remember ➡️ while QUANTITY of our reps and weight matters — the QUALITY of the movement is also crucial
Thanks to @fingermash for a recent 💥 presentation on QUALITY of movement (check his IG page for a much more intriguing look at how he understands and interprets quality!)
💥 Meet Coach Joey! 💥
Joey Hannant brings decades of strength and performance experience to our coaching team. He`s worked everywhere from Division I collegiate athletics to high-performance fitness environments, helping people build strength, resilience, and long-term performance.
Joey currently works with the Wounded Warrior Project supporting veterans through health and wellness coaching, and we`re excited to have him bringing that same passion for helping people improve their lives through movement here with our community. 💪
When he`s not coaching, Joey loves being outdoors — hiking, biking, kayaking, paddleboarding, and hitting the slopes for winter sports. He`s also a self-proclaimed nerd who enjoys a great book, museum, or documentary.
Give Joey a warm welcome when you see him at Physio! 👋

Knee pain is rarely just a knee problem.
It`s usually part of a bigger movement story.
The hips and feet play a huge role in how the knee feels. That`s why we fix the chain, not just the symptom.
When the whole system works together, pain often fades. That`s how movement should feel. It`s how how you deserve to feel.
Comment "MOVE" if knee pain has been slowing you down.

International Women’s Day is an awesome day to recognize the dancer athletes of @thephysioperformance!💃🏻
Competitive dancers are some of the hardest working athletes — spending 3-6 hours daily 3-5 days/week (plus weekend competitions, conventions, and trainings).
They often have the best body awareness (IYKYK 😉) and put their bodies through the rigors of extreme mobility work, power, strength, and grace — making movement look effortless.
So proud to have so many dancer athletes addressing both injury rehab and performance @thephysioperformance this year! We have seen dancers from @eliteschooldance @allegroperforminggroups and @cultivate_dance_project 🙌
Shout out to these amazing young women for their strength, grit, and dedication to their sport 💃🏻
If we have worked on you in the past year (at Physio Performance or at a Convention/Competition)— we included you here:
❤️Gabby
❤️Claire
❤️Hailey
❤️Shay
❤️Bella B
❤️Keira
❤️Abby
❤️Anea
❤️Austin
❤️Ellary
❤️Ellie
❤️Avalynn
❤️Isabel
❤️Perry
❤️Plus a few more 😉

Hip flexor "tightness" isn`t always about muscles being short.
In many cases, it`s a sign the body is relying on posture and passive structures instead of active control.
When the pelvis shifts forward, the hip flexors are already lengthened and working overtime to stabilize the joint. The goal isn`t more stretching, it`s restoring strength and position so the body doesn`t have to grip for control.
Understanding the why behind discomfort is often the first step toward lasting change.
