Our Approach
Evaluation
After your initial consultation, a comprehensive evaluation of muscle strength, range of motion, cardiovascular, and/or balance will be performed. A thorough discussion of your injury, surgery, or diagnosis, will also be completed by an Exercise Specialist who has extensive training in orthopedic and/or cancer exercise techniques.
Custom Protocol
The specialist will then create a custom protocol for you and set up goals in which progress will be measured with advanced technology.
Measuring Progress
All assessments and workouts are documented in your client-specific profile. Due to the uniqueness of our technology, the data included in progress reports become a vital tool for assessing the progression of your physical recovery that can be shared with your orthopedic surgeon, neurologist, oncologist, and/or healthcare professionals to analyze your particular circumstance.
Program Details
Each program is specific to individual client needs.
On average, each client visits us at our facility 2-3 times per week for 30-minute or 60-minute sessions.
Depending on the client’s condition, every 4-6 weeks a basic exercise assessment may be performed to determine new exercise selection programs or modifications to ensure progress does not plateau.
Injury or Surgery (pre/post-rehab)
Clients may work with a Training Specialist for 14-18 months before transitioning to a regular fitness program, which may be independent or with a trainer.
Orthopedic Disorders or Neuropathies
Depending on the aggressiveness of the condition, clients may work long-term with one of our Corrective Exercise Specialists.
Cancer Diagnosis
Depending on the prognosis, clients may work with a Cancer Exercise Specialist for the duration of treatment.
Many cancer survivors have the ability to transition to a regular fitness program, which may be independent or with a trainer. This is decided on an individual basis with lymph node damage/removal taken into serious consideration.
