PRevention and education are the priorities

musculoskeletal rehab track - return to the things you love

Movement and musculoskeletal rehab occurs over the course of weeks or months. This is 1-on-1 work or collaborative in the COR clinic.

With prevention and education as the foremost priorities, the goal is to matriculate into a prevention group, or have the tools to maintain musculoskeletal health independently, or enter community fitness with a deeper understanding of how to tend to your system.

durability - Do the things you love with more confidence

Athletic Restoration strives to be a resource for musculoskeletal health education and prevention. Since Sarah’s background involves sports rehabilitation, she is particularly well suited to address prevention.

If you would like to increase durability for your sport, occupation and/or recreation by building strength, mobility and stability, a group is typically recommended for this work. The Durable Athlete program is very individualized while still allowing for the empowerment and camaraderie of a group. Preseason classes are offered for Ice Hockey, Alpine Skiing, Nordic Skiing, Swimming, Running, Cycling, and Paddle Sports. All classes are small (3 people).
