You’ve been discharged from physical therapy, but you don't feel ready. You lack the confidence to push yourself, and the fear of re-injury is holding you back. This is where standard training fails and our expertise begins. We specialize in the one thing most others can't solve: guiding you from post-rehab to a full, powerful return to the sport and life you love.
You diligently followed your physical therapist's plan. You did the exercises, you were discharged, and you were told you're "good to go." But you know you're not.

Alex's story is a common one. We have clients who come in after years and years of PT, lost and confused to why their body still feels "different" and "shaky". They are worried the injury has permanenty changed their body for the worse. When we told Alex he could still deadlift weights, he thought we were crazy. He said that doing so would re-injure his hip again. Hear him tell his story.
Our founder, Sam Pitcairn, has a Master’s Degree in Sports Science from the University of Pittsburgh, served as a Sports Scientist for Pitt and led return-to-play programs at UPMC. We've helped countless clients who were stuck in a PT loop return to their pre-injury lifestyle, and be in even better shape than before they were injured.
Our process is systematic, transparent, and designed for one outcome: getting you back to performing at your best, with confidence.
We begin with a deep-dive diagnostic session to understand your injury history, movement capacity, strength deficits. This goes far beyond a simple consultation to establish a baseline for your program.
Based on your assessment, we design an individualized program. This plan will address your weaknesses, rebuild sport-specific strength, and progressively re-introduce dynamic movements.
You will execute your program under the eye of an expert coach in our small group setting. You get the benefit of one-on-one attention to ensure your form is perfect and the motivation of a focused community, all while working on a plan that is 100% yours.
Physical therapy does a fantastic job of getting you out of pain and restoring basic function. Our job is to take over where they left off. We focus on rebuilding the high-level strength, power, and sport-specific movement patterns required to handle the demands of competition and intense activity, significantly reducing the risk of re-injury.
Yes. We work with people of all fitness levels. We've treated people who just wanted to play pickup basketball without knee pain, dedicated amateur marathoners, parents who wants to be able to ski with their kids confidently again. If you have a performance goal and an injury is holding you back, this program is for you.
Absolutely. With direct experience leading a major hospital's return-to-play program, we are experts in the specific protocols and progressions for a wide range of post-surgical and non-surgical recoveries. Safety and proper progression are the cornerstones of our methodology.
The assessment is a 60-minute session where we analyze your movement quality, test for strength imbalances, assess your core stability, and discuss your specific goals. It provides us with the critical data needed to build your program and provides you with a clear understanding of why you're struggling and how we're going to fix it.
After you submit this form we will be in contact within 24 hrs to set up an appointment to come into our East Liberty location for a performance assessment.
