The athletes who make it to the highest level are already strong, fast, and competitive.

What separates them is their ability to sustain it year after year.

That’s where physical therapy and performance training intersect - building strength that doesn’t break the body down.

At Motus, our mission is to keep athletes durable, efficient, and resilient, so they can focus on doing what they do best!

This college wrestler has been working with .alexa_gonzalez after dealing with chronic low back and hip pain, a common result of the repeated lifts, takedowns, and scrambles in wrestling.

Over a series of sessions, we’ve been rebuilding strength, control, and power:

▪️ Posterior chain activation and eccentric control to safely absorb force through the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back

▪️ Rotational power drills to improve torque and stability for quick direction changes

▪️ Integration into wrestling-specific movements, translating strength into sport-ready performance

Each session builds on the last, retraining the body to move efficiently under the demands of collegiate wrestling.

Chronic pain often stems from compensations, and this approach addresses the root cause while restoring confidence and performance.

Still feeling pain months after your injury “healed”?

Here’s why that’s normal, and why physical therapy is often the missing link.

A lot of people think once the injury “heals,” the pain should stop.

But the truth is, soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments usually repair in 6 to 12 weeks.

What often lingers are functional limitations, compensations your body develops to protect itself, and neurological pain pathways that keep sending pain signals even when the tissue has healed.

That’s why rehab isn’t just about getting out of pain, it’s about retraining your body to move properly, rebuild strength, and restore confidence in your movement.

If you’re stuck in that awkward “not injured but still hurting” phase, it might be time to chat with our team!

ACL strength day with a workout buddy riding along 🐶

What you’re seeing:

Pushes and pulls load the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core without heavy joint impact.

Why it works:

That steady resistance builds power and control so the knee tracks properly during cuts and sprints, reducing risk of reinjury and speeding up safe recovery.

Our founder Drew Morcos always says pain doesn’t usually start where you feel it.

It’s usually the final signal from a body that has been compensating somewhere else.

That is why we use the 4P Joint by Joint Approach developed here at Motus to find where the pain is coming from, why it is there, and how to fix it…for good!

Sometimes hip pain doesn’t come from a bad hip. It comes from a stiff foot or a tired core that has left the hip doing all the work.

We look past the pain and fix the chain, not just the link.

Change of direction is one of the highest demand movements in sport and one of the most common mechanisms for groin and hip injuries.

When returning to play, it’s not just about pain going away. It’s about restoring strength, balance, and movement control in the exact patterns that caused the injury in the first place.

Here, we’re working on just that: Groin and hip control under load, with sharp cuts and reactive movement.
