Cinthia is a runner who had been experiencing ankle and knee pain that was putting a damper on her regular training

She wanted to get her pain under control so she could run in an upcoming race, but didn’t want to see a PT who would just tell her to stop running and do body weight calf raises to solve her injuries

Cinthia booked a call with us, came in for an initial assessment, and then crushed her rehab plan for the next three months

During this time she not only solved her ankle and knee pain, but ran in her race completely pain free!

We’re super proud of the work that Cinthia has put in, and can’t wait to see her kill it in more races in 2025!

A common thing that we see every day is the “gap” between traditional PT and the level of performance that lifters and athletes are looking for

What is “the gap”?

The gap is the difference between where you’re discharged from traditional PT and the level of performance you want to be at

We’ve worked with so many people that have gone through traditional PT and said “I felt a bit better and could do regular daily activities without pain, but I couldn’t lift/run/play my sport without a lot of pain still”

Want to know how to get over that gap?

DM us!

Today’s client win comes from a runner who had been dealing with back pain that was limiting her workouts

For her, running is not only a way to stay physically healthy, but is a huge form of stress relief as well

So when her back pain stopped her from being able to run the way she used to, she knew that she needed help to get back to 100%

She was consistent with her rehab work, began a running-specific strength training program with us, and followed our guidance on how to modify her running training to solve her pain

After only a few short months, not only is she well on her way to being completely pain free, but her running has gotten BETTER!

Here are just a handful of stories from the hundreds of clients we’ve worked with since opening our doors in 2020

These clients all had several things in common

1️⃣ They were dealing with injuries that were stopping them from being able to do the things they loved

2️⃣ They didn’t want to go to traditional PT clinics just to be told to stop lifting, running, or all the other activities they enjoy

3️⃣ They decided to make the jump and invest in their health and wellness, even if they were skeptical that we could help or trying out-of-network PT

So, they scheduled a phone consult with us, came in for an initial assessment, and got completely customized plans that were specific to THEM and THEIR goals

Now, they’re back to doing all the things they love and are crushing their fitness and performance goals!

We’ve worked with hundreds of people over the last 4.5+ years and here is something that we’ve noticed…

The people who take action the FASTEST, or who are proactive with their health, do the best

While we have absolutely helped many people who had been dealing with pain for multiple years, it’s usually a tougher and longer road to recovery than people who have only been dealing with pain for a few weeks

And that’s one of the reasons we’ve developed our Open Enrollment Program

We want to give you a HUGE incentive to take action on your health NOW, and be proactive for your health and wellness in 2025

So if you want to make 2025 your best year yet, avoid having to miss time from training due to injury, and get expert support hitting your goals while saving a TON on money, DM us “OE” and we’ll see if our Open Enrollment Program is the right fit for you

PS. We have options for both in-person PT and Online Rehab and Performance Coaching, so you have no excuses 😜
