To be compared to Insurance PT is to make as assumptions that we are the same. We are in the same family of care however Self-pay (Cash-Based) PT is not the same thing.

It’s like Apples vs Oranges, (Not apples to apples just a different variety), we are same fruit family, but we are different experiences from beginning to end.

Comparing two insurance clinics is okay, they both operate in a similar way, maybe approach in treatment is different, generally you get the same experience.

Cash-based PT vs Insurance PT, is to consider that we operate the same (spoiler alert: we don’t), details in the video, to the experience patient will have is the same (again spoiler you won’t)

Insurance PT and Cash-PT, are two different things.

Utilized Insurance for PT if you sole goal is to get out of pain. If you don’t want to achieve more beyond that. Insurance covers the focus on addressing pain, but given the requirements and limitations (like visit limits), making sure you can perform the activities you want to insurance generally won’t cover. (Unless you had surgery, even then PT stops due to visit limits and or no physical pain).

Injury prevention is another area that gets asked about, truth is the only way to”prevent injury” (really reduce the risk at best) is by getting assed, know how you are able to move for the demands of the activity you want to do! You have my payers to those that want to do it yourself.

Over the last 2.5 years we have collected various high school athletes and their performances metrics. This is the spread we have seen…

If you’ve read this far, the honest truth, most of this data is from injured athletes, who have been “cleared to return to sport.”

Athletes are to often cleared early, because they no longer have “pain”. Pain does not equate to 100% back to baseline, ready to preform…

Wait till you see the results compared to health norms…

Most people are not told what this test is actually measuring…

The Countermovement Jump is typically performed with hands on hips…

We choose to do Hand Free, we want to see:
1. How high you jump?
2. How well do you absorb impact?
3. How symmetrical are you in a controlled space? (Sport will only expose more asymmetry)
4. And should you have an injury, can you jump at your pre-injury height? (if you can’t your not ready for returning back to sport!)

Volume: the total amount of work performed during a given exercise, workout, or training week.

Intensity: how heavy the weight is, how fast or power is and exercise being performed.

These two key principles lead to most people to my table because they are over training looking for a good sweat when unprepared. And working this back is worse than getting a better understanding of where you’re starting at.

Respect the principles of strength and conditioning…

If you have no idea what I’m mean and you workout on your own, there’s something wrong there.

Find yourself a good strength and conditioning coach who understands the fundamental principles and will coach you the fundamentals.

More often than not injuries are a result of not respecting them, leading to over loading, over training and sacrifice of quality for quantity.

All “Bad knees” are impact and loading intolerances.

“bad Knees” = weak knees = poor impact tolerance.

This leads to mobility deficits, stability difficulties, and strength loss.

I’ve seen a lot of overuse knee injuries mostly from high reps, some overloading, in youth athletes. The common theme, most of them have struggled with impact, not absorbing through the entire legs, landing very stiff.

Start with a depth drop to begin building your impact training.

Your body is the only asset you carry for life.

It can compound… or it can decline.

The difference isn’t time, it’s how you invest.

Train it. Fuel it. Build it.

Because the ROI shows up in everything you do.
