Services — Return to strength
Pain-free isn't the finish line. Strong is.
The most common gap we see: pain is gone, the joint is 'fine', and the athlete is still 30% weaker on one side. Return to strength is a coached, tested bridge from clinical exercises to real barbells, real plyometrics, and real confidence.
Who this is for
- Athletes discharged from rehab but nowhere near baseline
- Post-op patients cleared for progressive loading by their surgeon
- Runners and skiers who have never strength trained and keep re-tweaking
- Anyone whose single-leg strength, hop, or press numbers don't match sides
What we actually do
- 01 Baseline testing: isometric strength, single-leg capacity, jump and hop metrics
- 02 Individually programmed strength blocks, coached in the clinic gym
- 03 Plyometric progressions — extensive to intensive, two feet to one
- 04 Re-testing every 4–6 weeks with the numbers charted next to your baseline
- 05 Handoff programming for your gym or club once you pass
Honest timelines
Strength change is slow and measurable: expect 8–12 week blocks, visible numbers each month, and a finish line defined in advance — typically ≥90% limb symmetry across strength and hop tests.
