Physiotherapy + strength coaching:
Better together

The current model is broken.

Too often, a rehab approach leaves the athlete unsupported when they’re most vulnerable. Imagine this: you’re finally out of pain, you’ve just been discharged from physical therapy, and you’re staring down the activity you love only to realize you have no idea if you’re actually ready to go back.

I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

By seamlessly combining physiotherapy and strength coaching, together we’ll make sure there are no gaps in your recovery. Our work isn’t over when we get you out of pain, our work is over when you’re independent, confident, and less susceptible to injury for years to come.

Overcome injury

If you’re struggling with pain or severely restricted mobility, we’ll start on the physiotherapy end of the continuum with an assessment of your movement control, joint mobility, and strength.  I’ll educate you on the results and together we’ll create a roadmap toward your goal.

Along the way, we’ll use treatments like soft tissue and joint mobilization, neuromuscular re-education, and strength-training to manage your pain, optimize your movement control, increase your functional mobility, and start the process of maximizing strength. Finally, let’s not forget the homework: you’ll always walk away from our sessions with specific guidance (therapeutic movements, recommended lifestyle modifications, or mindfulness practices) to help accelerate your recovery.

As pain decreases and mobility improves you’ll feel increasingly independent managing any remaining symptoms, and our focus will shift toward strength training, after all, the real goal here isn’t just to get you out of pain, it’s to make you strong enough to ensure that it doesn’t come back. At this point you’ll be confident in identifying and executing the types of exercise that are the best medicine for your body.

Maximize strength

When designed around the needs and goals of the individual, strength coaching is appropriate and beneficial for almost everyone, especially those making the transition from physiotherapy back to their favorite sport, activity, or lifestyle challenge.  Whether your goal is to lift your kids with ease, do your first unassisted pull-up, or pull a double bodyweight deadlift, you’ll get to your goal fastest through customized training.

If we’ve just gotten you out of the acute phase of your injury, this is where we make you “bulletproof” and restore total body strength and conditioning.

If you’re uninjured and want to get stronger, we’ll begin by identifying any barriers (joint stiffness, limited movement control, or specific muscle weakness) standing between you and your goal. We’ll incorporate strategies to overcome these barriers within the bigger picture for faster achievement of your desired outcome with minimal risk of injury.

Regardless of where you’re starting, strength coaching is really about helping you become your most empowered, most confident self.

Regain confidence

Cookie-cutter fitness won’t cut it.

Once you’ve built the mobility and strength foundations that prepare you for training without supervision or return-to-sport, you’re still left with the question of the best way to train as your goals evolve.

Every one of us has our own medical/injury history, movement goal, training preferences, and lifestyle demands. Our long-term approach to fitness should reflect those factors that make us unique.

Through custom fitness programming and digital support we’ll keep your training program up-to-date to meet your ever-evolving goals regardless of where you are on the globe and how your schedule and lifestyle change over the years.

Why would I do physio or training remotely when I can do it in person?

 

Remote physiotherapy and strength coaching are remarkably effective. Not only does a remote approach allow for the pillars of a successful in-person intervention to be upheld, but it offers something traditional appointments can’t: FLEXIBILITY.

  • Don’t have time for the commute? Just open your laptop and roll out your mat.

  • A traditional gym isn’t comfortable or accessible to you? We’ll work out in your home.

  • Looking to avoid high fees associated with hiring a professional to commute to your home? I’ll tele-commute.

  • Frequent business travel? Now there’s no reason you can’t train regularly or make progress toward your goal without a home-base location.

  • Just arrived at your destination and you’re experiencing discomfort after a long flight? Let’s get you pain-free in time to enjoy your vacation without the hassle and uncertainty of seeking out local intervention.

  • Can’t access top-notch PT locally? Remote interventions make assessment by an experienced set of eyes accessible with ease.

  • Looking for a home-office ergonomic assessment? I’ll “meet” you there and we’ll troubleshoot together.
