Rehab 2 Perform

We like gyms.
We like coaches.
We like trainers.

Our job is not to replace them. Physical therapy should bridge people back toward those environments with the clinical progression and confidence to participate well. 🤝

Runners: film five slow single-leg step-downs from the front.

👀 Watch what happens at the hip and pelvis, not just the knee.

Do both sides look similar?
Can you control the movement all the way down and back up?

Simple tests can start useful conversations.

Runners: your hips are working every single stride, whether you train them on purpose or not. 🏃

A simple single-leg step-down can tell you a lot about hip and pelvic control. Stand on one leg on a step, slowly lower the opposite heel, and watch whether your hip stays level or drops.

It is not a “good runner/bad runner” test. It is information. And sometimes the things you cannot feel during an easy run are exactly what start to show up once mileage and fatigue climb.

Our latest running article walks through the test and a few ways to start building hip strength.

Most runners never test hip strength until something hurts. Try the single leg step down test our PTs use, plus two exercises to fix it.

Perform For Life is a bigger idea than getting through this week without symptoms.

It means building and maintaining the ability to do the things that matter to you for the long haul.

Rehab can be one part of that process, not the finish line. 💪

Almost time. 👀

You don’t get ready on gameday. You get ready for gameday.

Whatever yours looks like, put in the work and be ready when it shows up.

Happy Friday. 🔥

Return to sport should look more like a staircase than a light switch.

Build strength. Add speed and power. Reintroduce sport-specific demands. Then prove you can tolerate them.

'Cleared' should not be the first time your body sees the demands of your sport again. 🏃

One of the best things an assessment can give you is direction.

What are you doing well?
Where is there an opportunity to build?
What should the next few weeks actually focus on?

Testing should help answer those questions, not just produce numbers. 📊

Scaling a workout is not the same as giving up on the workout.

Changing load, range, speed or volume can keep you training while respecting what your body can handle today.

Modification can be part of progress. ↗️

Injured doesn’t mean you stop being an athlete.

Address what’s going on. Build back strength, movement and confidence. Keep your goals in the conversation.

Your rehab should understand the athlete you are and the level you want to perform at. That’s performance-based physical therapy.
