The goal of traditional physical therapy is the restoration of “normal” function and the absence of pain. Often with adequate rest and no medical intervention, this criterion is easily met. Normative values in physical therapy are typically based on minimal standards of physical function, not always that which is necessary for you to achieve your goals. The standards for movement and fitness are trending in an alarmingly low direction. It is now normal, and often medically acceptable, to lack the ability to perform fundamental human movements, to be plagued by nagging injuries, and to be fragile when faced with physical stress. At Resilient, optimal is the norm for which we strive. The greatest void in sports medicine falls in the realm between acute rehabilitation and performance training. Rehabilitation and performance are commonly regarded as distinct entities and not as a fluid spectrum. Resilient recognizes this continuum and excels at bridging the gap between these two seemingly divergent endpoints. Each member of the Resilient team is a doctorally-educated physical therapist with experience in elite athletic development. High-end athletic performance is ultimately about the expression of speed, power, and fitness in a dynamic, unpredictable environment. This expression is contingent upon healthy joint function, biomechanical efficiency, and neuromuscular patterning. Optimal joint function is the foundation of the performance pyramid. Resilient’s method of evaluating and facilitating the integration of joint action throughout the body is its essence. Resilient recognizes the influence of all biological and psychological stresses on pain and performance. We treat orthopedic conditions with a client-centric model that empowers one through exercise-based behavioral modification. There is no void between acute rehabilitation and sport-specific training because our programs are based on systematic biomechanical, behavioral, and neurophysiological progressions.
