Professional Philosophy

THE PRS APPROACH

Using a combination of expertise in physical therapy and strength training, Progressive Rehab & Strength coaches take an individualized approach for each client to help them train optimally, remain injury-free, and surpass every goal. 

Coaches adjust programming to meet every athlete’s unique needs, recognize potential movement and programming issues, and make adjustments before those issues lead to injury. Every PRS coach uses a hands-on, active approach to physical therapy, strength, and nutrition programming that yields proven results. 

The PRS coaches have helped elite athletes come back from injuries, weekend warriors realize ambitious goals, and people of all activity levels and ages move more freely, get stronger, and live their best lives. They’re with you every step of the way: from the treatment table, to the weight room, to the win on the platform.
