Who's writing?

Hey, I'm Dr. Hector

I built Voltex because I got tired of watching capable people get handed a sheet of stretches and a shrug. You don’t need to be babied. You need to know what your body is actually asking for – and how to train through it instead of around it.

So once a month I write one short letter about the stuff that actually moves the needle: load management, recovery that’s worth your time, what the research really says, and how to keep getting stronger in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

If you run, lift, swing a racquet, or just want to still be doing this in twenty years – this is for you!

What's inside

Things you'll walk away knowing

01

Train through it

How to keep training around a niggle instead of shutting everything down and losing six weeks of fitness.

02

Recovery, ranked

Which recovery tools are worth your money and your minutes, and which ones are expensive placebo.

03

Build capacity

How to build strength that holds up at mile 20, set five or the third set, not just in the gym.

04

Read the research

What the evidence actually says, translated out of academic-speak and into something you can do this week.

05

Play the long game

How to keep making progress past 40, and why "just accept it" is terrible advice.

06

Move like an athlete

Sport-specific work for runners, triathletes, golfers and racquet players, whatever your level.

Who is it for?

Written for Austin athletes

The letters draw on the same work we do in the clinic every day. If one of these is you, you’ll recognize yourself in most issues.

Questions

Before you subscribe

Quick answers to the questions we get most.

How often does The Current come out?

Once a month. That's it. One letter, about three minutes to read. No daily emails and no sales blasts between issues.

Who writes The Current?

Dr. Hector Tricas, PT, DPT, PhD, FAAOMPT, founder of Voltex Physical Therapy in Austin, Texas. Every letter is written by him, not a marketing agency.

Do I have to be a Voltex client to subscribe?

No. The Current is free and open to anyone. Most subscribers have never set foot in the clinic — they just want better information about training and recovery.

Is this only for runners and endurance athletes?

No. We work with runners, triathletes, tennis and pickleball players, golfers, and lifters, and the letters cover principles that apply across all of them: load management, recovery, strength, and training past 40.

Will you sell my email address?

No. Your email is used only to send The Current, and every issue has a one-click unsubscribe link.
