We’ll also go over things like workload planning, warm up routines, and recovery strategies. Every program includes a home exercise plan with video guided cues to keep you consistent.
Return To Sport Testing
We know you’re ready to get back into the sport you love, but before you return to competition, we use functional testing to confirm readiness.
Examples include:
- Single leg hop testing
- Change of direction drills
- Landing mechanics
- Strength benchmarks that compare side to side performance
Meeting these targets helps reduce the risk of potential setbacks and supports confidence when you return to full-speed play.
Post Operative Sports Rehab
If you had surgery for ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, rotator cuff repair, labral stabilization, or other procedures, then your therapist will follow your surgeon’s protocol while customizing exercises to meet your goals.
We will review the milestones at each stage, manage any possible swelling and pain, and progress in range of motion, strength, and power safely.
What To Expect At Your First Visit
During your first visit, please bring a photo ID, insurance card, and any imaging or surgical notes. We suggest that you wear athletic clothing and shoes so we can assess movement.
At the time of your visit, we will review your training history, test strength and mobility, and set a baseline for balance and power. You will leave with your first week home program and a clear plan for follow up visits.
Training Load, Recovery, And Injury Prevention
Balance matters with the body for healing and improvement. Performance improves when training, sleep, and recovery are in balance. We help you track weekly load, plan deloads, and refine technique so you can keep making gains.
Please ask us about our foam rolling routines, mobility checklists, and simple strength screens you can use during the season to catch problems early.
