04 / Sports Rehab
We don't just get you out of pain. We load the tissue, test it under stress, and clear you to return to your sport — measured, not guessed.
Who it's for
You've been cleared by a doctor but still don't trust the joint under load.
The injury keeps coming back the moment you push intensity.
You have a race, a season, or a comp on the calendar and a deadline to be ready.
You want a number — ROM, strength symmetry — not a vague "you're fine."
The protocol
Movement screen, force-plate symmetry, and ROM in degrees. We baseline the gap so we can prove it closed.
Restore the missing range first — manual work, needling, and targeted drills before we ever add weight.
Progressive strength under control. We rebuild the tissue's capacity so it stops failing at intensity.
Re-test against your baseline. Strength symmetry within 10%, full ROM, no compensation — or we keep working.
A graded return-to-sport plan with the loads, volumes, and check-ins to keep the fix permanent.
What to expect
Average pain reduction by phase 3
Average ROM regained at the joint
Typical return-to-sport timeline
Inside the hour
Ten minutes measuring where you are today.
Manual work and needling to unlock range.
Strength work you'll repeat at home, coached live.
Your lead
Ran return-to-play for a pro volleyball squad. She'll own your testing, set the numbers you have to hit, and refuse to clear you until you hit them.
About this treatment
Sports rehabilitation at Kinetiq is built on a simple principle: pain relief and performance are the same project. Getting you out of discomfort is only step one — the goal is a body that can take load again without breaking down.
Most reinjuries happen because the original problem was never fully resolved. The pain faded, the athlete returned, and the underlying deficit — a weak link, a missing range of motion, an asymmetry between left and right — was still there, waiting. We attack that deficit directly. Every program starts with objective measurement: force-plate testing for strength symmetry, goniometry for range of motion in degrees, and a movement screen to find compensations you can't feel.
From there we sequence the work deliberately. Range before strength, control before load, testing before clearance. We borrow the periodization principles used in elite sport — progressive overload, deload weeks, and graded exposure to the exact demands of your activity — and apply them to recovery. That's why our rehab room has barbells, plyo boxes, and force plates next to the treatment table.
Conditions we commonly treat in this stream include post-surgical knee and shoulder rehabilitation, recurrent hamstring and calf strains, tendinopathies, low-back pain in lifters and runners, and the general "I was cleared but I don't trust it" presentation. Sessions are always one-on-one with the same clinician, so nothing gets lost between visits.
You'll leave each session with homework — specific loads, sets, and movements — because what you do in the other 167 hours of the week is what makes the fix permanent. Return-to-sport is a decision we make together, backed by your numbers, not a date we guess at the start.
Questions
No. You can book directly. If your insurer requires a referral for reimbursement we'll flag it and help you get one.
Most return-to-sport timelines run six to nine weeks. We give you an honest estimate after the first assessment and re-test against it so you can see progress.
Loading a healing tissue can feel like work, but it should never be sharp or alarming. We coach intensity carefully and adjust in real time.
Almost always yes — we'll tell you what to modify, not just stop. Staying active around the injury usually speeds recovery.
