Restorative Strength & Conditioning blends the best of what the fields of physical therapy and strength & conditioning have to offer to create a new and innovative approach to restoring and enhancing your ability to do the things you love. While personal training focuses on improving general fitness and health outcomes, Restorative Strength & Conditioning involves a more specialized and data-driven approach to creating measurable gains in health and performance. Additionally, while the main focus of traditional physical therapy is to return you to your prior level of function, Restorative Strength & Conditioning goes a step further by helping you exceed your prior level of function until your body is more than capable of meeting the demands of your life. This allows you to choose how healthy and resilient you want to be- not your insurance company.

We will begin by conducting a thorough assessment. Max will listen to your story, collaborate with you to determine your goals, and take inventory of the problems and barriers that are preventing you from reaching them. We will collect a baseline measurement of your current capacities and determine your specific needs. Max will use the information gathered in your assessment to create a customized Restorative Strength & Conditioning program.

The answer to this question will depend on your individual needs. In general, our Restorative Strength & Conditioning programs consist of multiple progressive phases, lasting anywhere from 1-4 weeks each. Each phase is designed to provide your body with the physical adaptations necessary for success in the next phase. By the end of your program, you will have developed the specific skills and movement patterns required for you to achieve your goals.

Your program will be tailored to blend seamlessly with your daily life and schedule. We will determine a regular time to meet weekly for at least one 1-hour appointment, where we will assess and improve your exercise technique, and collaborate to ensure that your program is providing the most efficient route toward your goals. This will allow you to make undeniable, objective progress within 30-90 days.

Most Restorative Strength & Conditioning programs will include some sessions that you will complete independently. To successfully reach your goals, the most important factor is your ability to adhere to the program. Because of this, we place a strong emphasis on making each independent training session concise (usually between 10-30 minutes total), and highly specific to your individual needs. We aim to fundamentally change the way you move for the better, without wasting any of your time. During our weekly meetings, we will assess your performance from the previous week, and adapt your program accordingly so that we are keeping you on the road to progress, even when life gets hectic.
