PERFORMANCE MAINTENANCE & RECOVERY

Performance Maintenance & Recovery

Stay Durable. Recover Smarter. Keep Moving Forward.

Your body works hard—whether that’s in sport, the gym, on the job site, in the yard, or keeping up with your family. Performance Maintenance & Recovery is designed to help you manage physical stress, prevent injuries, and stay strong for the long haul.

Instead of waiting until something hurts, this proactive approach keeps your body moving efficiently and recovering properly between physical demands.

What Is Performance Maintenance?

Performance maintenance focuses on:

  • Keeping joints mobile and muscles functioning properly

  • Addressing small movement issues before they become injuries

  • Maintaining strength, stability, and control

  • Improving durability under repeated stress

It’s ideal for athletes, active adults, and individuals with physically demanding work or hobbies.

What Is Recovery-Based Care?

Recovery care supports your body’s ability to bounce back from:

  • Intense training sessions

  • Games and competitions

  • Long workdays or repetitive tasks

  • Yard work, home projects, or recreational activities

Recovery may include:

  • Targeted mobility work

  • Soft tissue treatment

  • Circulation and tissue stimulation

  • Strategic strength and movement work

  • Education on load management and programming

The goal is to reduce fatigue, restore tissue quality, and keep you consistent.

Who Is Performance Maintenance For?

Performance maintenance is ideal for:

  • Athletes in-season or between seasons

  • Active adults who train or work physically

  • People with physically demanding jobs

  • Individuals with recurring aches or past injuries

  • Anyone who wants to move better and feel stronger long-term

  • Value staying active without downtime

You don’t have to be injured to benefit.

What Does Performance Maintenance Address?

Performance maintenance helps manage:

  • Muscle tightness and joint stiffness

  • Training or work-related wear and tear

  • Movement restrictions and imbalances

  • Fatigue and overuse before it becomes injury

  • Declines in strength, mobility, or control

The goal is to keep small issues from becoming big problems.

What Does a Session Look Like?

Sessions are customized based on how you move and what you do. They may include:

  • Mobility and movement assessments

  • Targeted mobility and flexibility work

  • Strength and stability training

  • Movement efficiency and technique refinement

  • Programming adjustments

  • Soft tissue and joint treatment when needed

  • Recovery strategies to support return-to-training and workload

Everything is chosen to support your specific demands—sport, job, or lifestyle.

Why It Matters

Most injuries don’t happen suddenly—they build up over time from unmanaged stress and poor recovery.

A structured maintenance and recovery plan helps you:

  • Improve tissue tolerance to load

  • Move more efficiently

  • Reduce strain during daily tasks

  • Recover faster between workouts or work shifts

  • Stay consistent in the activities you enjoy

Consistency is what builds performance—and prevents setbacks.

How This Fits Into Your Life

Performance maintenance works for:

  • Sports and training programs

  • Outdoor and recreational hobbies

  • Daily chores like lifting, carrying, and bending

  • Repetitive or physically demanding work tasks

  • Busy schedules where downtime isn’t an option

Care is efficient, purposeful, and built around real-world movement.

How This Is Different from Traditional Therapy

Performance Maintenance is:

  • Proactive rather than reactive

  • Focused on movement quality and capacity

  • Built around what you actually do day to day

  • Designed to keep you active—not sidelined

It bridges the gap between rehab and performance.

Is Performance Maintenance Right for You?

Performance maintenance may be a great fit if you:

  • Want to stay active without recurring pain

  • Have a history of injuries you want to manage

  • Train, work, or move at a high level

  • Value prevention and long-term performance

Your physical therapist will help determine the best schedule and focus based on your goals and demands.

Our Philosophy

Your body is an investment—not something to fix only when it breaks.

Performance maintenance helps you move better, perform confidently, and stay consistent in the activities that matter most to you.
