Struggling to keep your balance during walking lunges?

A lot of people lose form when the weights get heavy. The knee drifts, the torso shifts, and the lunge turns into a balancing act instead of a strength movement.

Planting your front leg first gives you time to line up your knee with your toes. This keeps the movement stable and lets you push through the front leg for better strength and safer reps.

Great for anyone who feels wobbly during lunges or notices their knee collapsing forward during workouts.

Tight hips or knee discomfort when you move? You might be missing true hip mobility.

A lot of knee pressure actually comes from a hip that isn’t rotating well. Straight-leg CARs help the joint move the way it’s supposed to.

This drill builds control, restores motion, and reduces the stress your knee feels during workouts and daily activity.

Great before squats, running, or anytime your hips feel stiff.

Ever wonder why some clinics choose not to take insurance?

Insurance often limits what a physical therapist can treat and how long they can work with you. That usually means shorter sessions and care that stops once you’re “good enough” for daily life.

Our model lets you get longer, higher-quality one-on-one care without restrictions. You get treatment based on what you need, not what insurance allows.

Perfect for active adults, athletes, and anyone who wants a full return to the gym, sport, or work without setbacks.

If you want care that prioritizes long-term results, book your visit in Las Vegas or Bloomfield Township.

Feeling stiff through your upper body after years of heavy lifting?

Powerlifting builds strength, but it can also leave the rib cage stuck in a compressed position. Tactical athletes like firefighters need more expansion, rotation, and adaptability in their movement.

This split stance cable row teaches your rib cage to move again. You’ll learn to expand, rotate, and separate rib cage motion from your spine, which helps restore balanced movement.

Great for firefighters, first responders, and anyone shifting from strength-only training to more dynamic tasks.

If you want to move better and train with more balance, book your visit with us in Las Vegas or Bloomfield Township.

Shoulder or upper-back pinching that won’t go away?

That “stuck” feeling usually shows up when the joints around your shoulder blade and rib cage don’t have enough space to move.

A lacrosse ball against the wall is one of the easiest ways to open that space. It targets tight areas through the upper back so your shoulder can move with less pinching and more freedom.

Perfect before workouts, after long workdays, or anytime your back feels locked up.

If you want help figuring out why your shoulder feels pinchy, you can book a visit at Optimize Physical Therapy and Performance in Las Vegas or Bloomfield Township.

Struggling with tight ribs during rotation?

Sometimes the rib cage doesn’t rotate well, which makes golf swings and other rotational movements feel stiff or awkward.

This drill puts you in a low setup and trains your body to twist through the spine and rib cage with better control. It teaches the ribs to change shape so rotation feels smoother.

Great for anyone who feels “stuck” during their downswing or notices their torso can’t rotate the way they want.

Struggling with stiff ankles or a heavy-feeling stride when you walk?

A lot of people miss one key part of the gait cycle. If your foot can’t roll from heel strike to mid-stance smoothly, the ankle feels tight and the whole stride becomes inefficient.

This drill teaches your heel, arch, and shin to work together so the ankle can move forward without jamming. When the arch softens and the foot relaxes, the shin finally has space to glide.

Great for runners, lifters, and anyone who feels tight during walking or warm-ups.

Struggling to hit good squat depth without your low back tightening up?

Sometimes the muscles around your hips get stiff after heavy sets or long hours sitting. That stiffness can make your squat feel restricted and your back work harder than it should.

This simple supported squat drill helps you relax at the bottom, find a better stacked position, and restore clean movement without forcing anything.

Great before your workout or sprinkled between sets to stop your hips from locking up and your low back from flaring.

Want a deeper and more comfortable squat? Book a session with our team in Las Vegas or Bloomfield Township, MI.

Struggling with ankle stability during workouts?

This modified Bulgarian split squat adds a floating heel so your calf and ankle have to work harder to keep you stable. It forces your body to create control instead of relying on the floor.

Holding that heel up builds strong co-contraction through the calf and ankle. That gives you better balance, stronger landings, and more control through your knee and hip.

Great for anyone who wants better stability in single-leg strength work or notices their heel dropping during lunges or jumps.

If you want help building ankle stability for better performance, you can book a visit with our team in Las Vegas or Bloomfield Township anytime.

Struggling with tight shoulders or stiff lats?

Sometimes the ribs and lats get locked up, which limits how far your arms can reach overhead.

This drill opens the lats and ribcage while teaching your shoulders to move without your low back doing all the work. You’ll feel more space, better reach, and less tension.

Great before upper body workouts or anytime overhead motions feel restricted.

Power training feeling inconsistent lately?

This explosive split squat teaches you how to load your leg properly and push with real power. It’s a simple way to build stability and speed without jumping into full plyos.

It improves how your ankle, knee, and hip work together, which means cleaner reps, better force production, and fewer breakdowns when you’re tired.

Great for field athletes, runners, and lifters who feel like they lose power when the reps climb.

Ready to get more out of your core training?

Most cable core exercises stay in one place. This version mixes rotation with lower body movement so your whole system works together.

It fires your obliques, teaches your core to stabilize under load, and builds real strength you can feel in everyday movement.

Great if your workouts feel flat or you want more power through your mid-section.
