How 931 Performance Therapy Was Created

Hello everyone! I hope this finds you living well, pain free, and moving right. I wanted to write this first blog post to help you better understand me and why I wanted to start 931 Performance Therapy.

As a kid growing up and playing many different sports, I was frequently injured. Whether it was my shoulder from baseball, my ankles from basketball, or my low back from golf, there was constantly something to improve and work on. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a resource that allowed me to better prepare for these challenges that I faced when being injured. I knew going into college that I wanted to help athletes better prepare and then rehab them through injuries in their sport. Athletic Training seemed like the best fit- I would see patients from the onset of injury, throughout the rehabilitation process, and then help them return to their sport, work, and daily life.

While at my clinical rotations in graduate school, I could tell that my mind was already picking a path and the direction that I wanted to go. I was very interested in how the human body moves and how it leads to injury. In a typical athletic training setting, movement is not a top priority. We usually see patients immediately after injury and we have to do everything we can to help the athlete return back to the field or competition floor as quickly as possible. I wanted to spend more time with them and really allow my evaluation to see if the injury sustained was an unfortunate, spontaneous accident or a result of poor biomechanics in their sport.

At 931 Performance Therapy, we want to ensure that athletes, everyday gym-goers, and recreational athletes have the right tools that will keep them healthy and without any aches or pains. We want you to be able to to work, exercise, and play with your kids when you get home, PAIN FREE! We want athletes to trust their movement, have power, agility, strength, and mobility to perform at the highest level in their sport.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope it gave you some insight as to why we started 931 Performance Therapy and what we want to achieve!
