NASHVILLE, Tenn. — On this episode of the NFM Podcast, hosts Abby Miranda and Collin Schoen sit down with Dr. Blake Huddleston, owner of Volunteer Performance Therapy in Murfreesboro, to discuss injury prevention, performance training, and helping athletes move better.

Huddleston, who grew up in Murfreesboro, opened Volunteer Performance Therapy in 2020 with a mission to serve athletes and active adults in his hometown community. His clinic focuses on helping clients stay pain-free while continuing to train, compete, and perform at a high level.

Throughout the conversation, Huddleston breaks down his approach to physical therapy, explaining how his methods differ from more traditional models. Rather than only treating pain after it happens, his work emphasizes building effective performance programs, improving movement, and helping people push their limits safely.

The episode also explores what makes a strong training program, how athletes can reduce their risk of injury, and why recovery plays a key role in long-term success. For fitness enthusiasts, competitive athletes, or anyone looking to move and feel better, Huddleston offers practical insight into staying healthy while performing at 100%.
