How Every Program Works

Three steps. One plan.

Go at your pace. Everyone starts with Assess. What we find points you to Recover if something needs work, or to Perform if you’re ready to build.

Assess Know your baseline

Where every plan starts, before any treatment. An injury and performance evaluation gives you a clear picture and a baseline of your ability, injury, and health.

What’s involved

  • Injury and performance evaluation: personalized care focused on recovery, strength and performance
  • Force plate and 1080 baseline testing (Lubbock and Colleyville)
  • A plan that points you to Recover or Perform

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Assess is the evaluation only; treatment starts in Recover or Perform.

Part of your care in

Recover Rehab + re-test

Rehab and hands-on care to get you back. For an injury, a surgery, or a gap your baseline found: a structured rehab block, then a retest against your baseline.

What’s involved

  • Rehab following your surgeon’s protocol after surgery: personalized care focused on recovery, strength and performance
  • Hands-on care such as manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and IASTM (all three clinics)
  • Recovery tools such as Normatec and localized cryotherapy (Lubbock and Colleyville)
  • Retests before each step forward

Part of your care in

Perform Keep building

Training, retesting, and performance, with recovery support. For athletes who are back, or healthy and training.

What’s involved

  • Strength and performance training
  • 1080 and force plate work (Lubbock and Colleyville)
  • Recovery support such as hands-on care, Normatec, and localized cryotherapy
  • Retests about every 12 weeks against your numbers
