What we look for
We look for those underlying factors in how you train and how you move, and we build your plan around what we find.
What we treat
Athlete Injury Prevention
Care for high school and collegiate athletes who want to keep training and competing all season. It starts with the same evaluation somebody in pain gets, and you do not need an injury to begin.
Book an evaluation
Your request is in.
We will call you at the number you gave us to find a time for your evaluation, and nothing is booked until then.
No referral needed. No injury needed.
What you want to get back to
Play the whole season.
You want to play the whole season, and you want the last practice of the week to feel as strong as the first.
Tell us the sport, the position and the training schedule you are on, and the exam measures where you stand against that load today.
-
Before the season
Before the season, the evaluation gives you a baseline for strength and joint range on both sides, with no injury needed to book it.
-
During the season
During the season, your program runs around your training schedule, and we retest as the season goes on.
-
The off season
In the off season, the work turns to strength, power and the movement patterns your sport asks for the most.
How sports injuries build up
Where injuries come from.
Many sports injuries develop gradually over time rather than from a single event, through repetitive stress, training errors, inadequate recovery and movement inefficiencies.
Strength, mobility and movement
Limited mobility and poor movement patterns can lead to compensation and injury, so we assess how you move as well as how strong you are.
Your program builds strength, power, endurance and resilience around your sport, your training schedule and the goals you bring to the first visit.
Lacrosse, football, soccer, tennis and golf
We help athletes refine movement quality, manage workload, improve recovery strategies and build physical capacity through a demanding training cycle.
Lacrosse, football and soccer load the hips, knees and ankles, while tennis and golf load the shoulder and the low back. The exam covers all of them, because a knee that hurts in a game often traces back to a hip.
Common injuries in athletes
What we see most.
The conditions listed here are the ones we see most in athletes, and each one starts with the same whole-body exam.
- Ankle sprains
- Hamstring, calf, groin and quadriceps strains
- Hip and knee pain
- Shin splints and stress reactions
- Shoulder sprains
- Achilles tendinopathy
The first visit
Where it starts.
The evaluation is the same one somebody in pain gets, starting with a history and an exam of the whole body.
Both sides, measured
We measure strength and joint range on both sides, and those numbers become the baseline we retest against.
Coming back from an injury
If you are coming back from an injury, we test your strength and how you move before you return to training and competition.
You get those numbers in plain language, and the plan says what still needs work before you play again.
What you leave with
You leave with your findings in plain language and with a written plan for the months ahead.
Care here runs one to two sessions a week, and we retest against the numbers your exam produced.
Book an evaluation
Leave your number and we will call you back to find a time, since nothing is booked until we speak.

The eight areas we treat
About physical therapy- Spine & Musculoskeletal Pain
Back and neck pain change how you sit at work and how you sleep, and we start with whichever one matters most to you.
- Upper Body Pain
Shoulder and elbow pain shows up when you reach overhead or carry a child up a flight of stairs.
- Lower Body Pain
Hip and knee pain shows up on the stairs and on the walk back from the car, long before it shows up sitting down.
- Running Injuries
Running places repetitive stress on the body and can lead to injuries when training loads exceed tissue capacity.
- Strength, Mobility & Performance
You have nothing wrong and you want more from your body, which is a different starting point from an injury.
- Longevity & Healthy Aging
Aging is inevitable.
- Weight Loss & Body Composition
Changing your body composition takes training and eating together, and both of them run on one written plan here.
- Athlete Injury Prevention
Care for high school and collegiate athletes who want to keep training and competing all season.
