Cleared by your PT — but don't feel ready to perform like before?

Discharge is a milestone, not a green light. It rarely answers whether an athlete is ready for the speed and power their sport demands. Testing involves a detailed overview of your physical level and is performed in Wesley Chapel; the history intake and your written report are handled remotely.

What we measure — and what it tells you

Clearance says the tissue healed. These are the numbers that say whether your athlete is ready to perform at their level.

  • Sport-specific control

    How the body handles the exact demands of the sport — planting, rotating, landing — so you know they can compete, not just train.

  • Side-to-side symmetry

    Both limbs measured against each other. A side deficit is invisible on the field until it isn't — and it's fixable once you can see it.

  • Confidence in the movement

    Athletes who don't trust the limb try to protect it, and the protecting is what gets them hurt again. We test whether the trust is back.

  • A roadmap in writing

    Every number turns into a specific gap and a timeline to close it — something you can hand to the PT, the coach or the athlete.

How the readiness review works

Testing is done in person at our Tampa Bay facility. Intake and the written report are handled remotely.

  1. You send the history

    Injury, surgery if any, discharge date, and what still doesn't feel right. Five minutes on the form.

  2. Testing session

    One 90-minute on-site session: strength, power, tissue capacity, mechanics, limb symmetry and more — numbers, not opinions.

  3. You get the gaps in writing

    Within three days, a clear picture of what is back to baseline and what isn't, in language you can share with the PT or coach.

  4. Bridge the gap

    Proposed 4–8 week build phase, two to three sessions a week around your season, that closes the specific deficits — then a retest against the same numbers.

My PT got me healthy. This got me back to actually pitching. The retest numbers were what convinced my coach.

My shoulder was pain-free months before my serve came back. The testing found the overhead power gap on that side and gave me a number to chase. I'm serving at full pace again without guarding it.

Common questions

I was cleared by the physical therapist. Why do this?
Clearance means the tissue has healed and the basic movement is safe. It doesn't confirm the athlete can sprint, decelerate and cut at the speed their sport demands. Those are different tests, and they're the ones that predict whether the injury comes back.
Does this replace physical therapy?
No. It starts where PT ends. We work with the discharge notes, not around them, and we're happy to share the testing numbers with your PT or physician.
Where does the testing happen?
The testing session is in person at our Wesley Chapel/Zephyrhills facility — one 90-minute visit. The history intake and your written report are handled remotely, so the only travel is the session itself and the retest.
How old does the athlete need to be?
We work with middle school, high school, collegiate and professional athletes. The testing is scaled to age and training history.
What if they're still having pain?
Tell us in the form. If pain is still present we'll say so and point you back to your medical provider rather than train through it.
What does it cost?
The readiness review and written report typically run $150–$250 depending on the injury and how much testing it calls for. Build phases are quoted per athlete once we see the gaps. There's no payment or commitment when you submit the form.
How long until they're back to full performance?
Testing to retest is usually 4–12 weeks, depending on the injury and the demands of the sport. We retest against the same numbers so the decision to return is based on data, not a calendar.

One in three athletes re-injures within a year of returning. Testing tells you which third you are in.
