Physical Therapy & Athletic Enhancement
Athletic Strength & Conditioning
Injury prevention and management are not only goals of a Physical Therapist, but also goals of parents and coaches. Effective injury prevention starts with a good strength and conditioning program. Our Physical Therapists will develop a tailored strength and conditioning program to help you reach your maximum potential as an athlete.
Dr. Jake Tesch has been a part of the strength world for 20+ years. Beginning with general athletics and progressing into power lifting, Jake has seen the fads come and go and has personally experienced all the mistakes when it comes to training. This is why he has dedicated the last 10+ years to becoming a forward thinking, life-long strength coach and athlete.
Having a strength coach who is also a Doctor of Physical Therapist allows movement to take priority in training, and thus optimizes training outcomes and prevents injury. Our For Life Model of Care can be placed into the strength world, whether pain is present or not. If pain is not present we move directly into mobility and joint stability. Proper movement before higher intensity not only allows training without risk of injury, but also places appropriate focus on the muscles being trained. This means a more efficient training session and faster results.
Our Physical Therapists have all invested in strengthening and conditioning, both personally and professionally, gaining experience in all aspects. People are becoming athletes at all ages and stages of life and the benefits of continued strengthening throughout our lives are profound. Whether you are a middle school athlete or retired and joining community leagues, we are the experts you need to reach optimal performance through tailored strength and conditioning. We will work along side you for every step.
