Post-Injury & Return-to-Training
Coming back from an injury is where a lot of people get hurt all over again. They either rush it or baby it for too long. I help you find the line in between.
I’m not your physical therapist and I won’t pretend to be. But once you’re cleared to train, the stretch between “cleared” and “back to normal” is where I do my best work, and it’s where a lot of people reinjure themselves going it alone.
We start lighter than your ego wants
The instinct after an injury is to test it. That’s exactly how you tweak it again. We start under the weight you think you need and build from there, and you’ll be surprised how fast it comes back when you stop setting yourself back.
I’ll work with your PT
If you’ve got a physical therapist or a doctor with instructions, send them my way. I’d rather build on what they’ve told you than guess at it.
Most people call me after the big gyms didn’t work out.
They signed up somewhere, went a handful of times, and drifted off. When I ask why, it’s almost always one of these.
The gym was a hassle
Driving over, waiting for a rack, getting self-conscious in a crowd. It adds up to enough friction that most people quietly stop showing up.
So I come to you.The plan wasn’t yours
A printout or an app that a few thousand other people got too. It ignored your bad knee, your travel weeks, and what you actually wanted out of this.
I write your program after I’ve watched you move.Nobody watched your form
No corrections, no progression, no one to answer to. By week three the motivation runs out and you’re back where you started.
I’m there every session, and I answer my own phone.You got hurt
Pushed too hard too soon, tweaked a back or a shoulder, and spent two months undoing it.
I’d rather go slower and have you still training next year.How we’ll work together.
Nothing complicated. Here’s what the first few weeks actually look like.
We start with an assessment
First time we meet, I watch how you move, ask what hurts and what you’ve already tried, and get clear on what you’re after. No real workout yet.
I write your program
Then I build it by hand, around what I saw. It changes as you do, but it’s never something I handed to anybody else.
We train
At your place, the studio, or over video when you’re traveling. I’m watching your form, adjusting the load, and keeping you honest.
We adjust as you go
Every few weeks I re-check and change what isn’t working. That’s how you keep making progress instead of stalling out.
In their words.
Other places I train.
Tell me what you’re after.
The first call is free. We’ll talk through what you want, how your week looks, and whether I’m the right person for it. No pitch, no pressure. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.
