Getting cleared by your doctor doesn’t always mean you're ready to perform. At Revive Performance Therapy, our Return to Sport programming is designed to bridge the gap between “rehab complete” and “game ready.” We don’t believe in discharging you with a list of basic exercises and hoping for the best. We believe in rebuilding you for the demands of your sport.
Whether you're coming off surgery, recovering from a lingering injury, or just working your way back after extended time off, our goal is to restore your confidence, strength, and readiness. We create an environment that supports both recovery and high-level performance so you can move forward without fear of re-injury.
Every Return to Sport plan at Revive begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We assess mobility, strength, balance, power, and sport-specific movement patterns to identify any lingering deficits that could hold you back. Then we build a progressive training strategy that reintroduces stress in a smart, controlled way that is tailored to your body and your sport.
With expert 1-on-1 guidance from our Doctors of Physical Therapy and cutting-edge tools like force plates & dynamometry to measure strength, power, symmetry, and readiness — you’ll train with clarity, precision, and confidence. At Revive, we don’t just help you get back to your sport, we use objective data and personalized programming to help you return stronger, more resilient, and better prepared than ever.
The Revive Difference
At Revive Performance Therapy, our Return to Sport program is built to help you bridge the gap between injury recovery and peak performance. Whether you’re coming back from surgery, a lingering injury, or time away from training, we provide a structured path to rebuild strength, restore confidence, and return to doing what you love without hesitation.
Access & Identify
We begin with a detailed movement and strength assessment to pinpoint any lingering deficits, mobility restrictions, or asymmetries that could put you at risk. This step ensures we’re not just clearing you for activity — we’re setting you up for sustainable success.
Restore Function
Once we know what’s holding you back, we implement a customized plan that rebuilds strength, control, and joint stability. Through targeted mobility work, progressive loading, and motor control training, we restore the physical foundation needed for your sport.
Optimize Performance
As you regain capacity, we shift to high-level training — speed, power, agility, and sport-specific skill work. Our goal is to not just get you back, but get you back better — with the tools and confidence to perform at your highest level and reduce the risk of re-injury.

Over a year ago I was in a lot of pain. My back hurt every morning and my neck/shoulder area was so tight that it was making my hands numbs. A friend of mine recommended Revive. After just one visit I was able to move better, have less pain and stand for long periods of time. The entire Revive team is friendly, knowledgeable...

Revive is AMAZING. I was having SI issues and having pain in squats, any hinge movement, and even sit-ups! Working with Revive for 3-4 sessions cleared up my issue completely and I am able to train hard again now. As an experienced strength and conditioning coach, I value a movement-oriented PT who is knowledgeable AND...

Revive Therapy has changed my life. Prior to starting with Revive I had numerous aches and pains. Since working with the team at Revive all of those have gone away! I also added at age 40 a mile run time of 5 minutes and 19 seconds to my fitness bucket list. I couldn’t have done this without the team at Revive working alongside myself to...

My daughter plays competitive/ travel soccer. Anytime she is injured, Revive is our 100% trusted go-to for thorough evaluations, and up-to-date recommendations and treatments.

I started working with Revive when I was in high school and I sprained my ankle in the first basketball game of the season. I was really hoping to push through the season with it, and was able to finish the year with my ankle getting better towards the end of the year. My experience at Revive was always fun, I would look forward to it

We sought out Revive Performance Therapy after my daughter tore her ACL during a soccer game. This injury... The therapists at Revive provided exceptional patient care. The therapy they provide is unconventional - it’s personal patient care, it’s therapists who are highly educated, but still continuing to learn and stay up to date with...

I was recommended to Revive based on a friends advice to see a sports centric physical therapist. The staff at Revive Performance Therapy have been incredible for me. I had sought multiple different treatments for my back and nothing really worked. They were able to work with me and my specific issues so well that I kept coming back...

I don’t think I can say enough good things about Revive PT! I made an appointment due to having severe hip flexor pain. It was to the point I wasn’t able to continue my workouts and my every day life was starting to become effected. I started feeling better after my very first session! The way Revive takes the time to get to know you and...

Product Designer, GoogleRevive PT are miracle workers. I honestly thought I would never have a healthy back again as it had hurt for over a decade after having surgery when I was just 19. Finally my back decided to give out completely and thought it was over for me. After my first visit with Revive, I could already tell a huge difference. After a few months the pain...

I've been doing physical therapy for 6 months now since tearing my ACL. I have been through a revolving door of physical therapists who didn't really care about me or my recovery. My PT experience has completely changed since going to Revive. Eric is without a doubt the best PT I have ever been to. He gives me the one on one

For years I struggled with my hamstrings and glutes getting super sore after leg workouts, with practically minor soreness in my quads. Over the past year I had a few episodes of sciatica that didn’t seem to be coming from my back but from my glute area. I’d never been through any kind of in office type physical therapy but someone...

I was doing physical therapy at a hospital in the area for 3 months with no improvement doing nothing but cookie cutter exercises and being rushed out after every visit with no real sense of care whether or not I got back to being able to perform. From one visit, Eric was able to improve the range of motion I had lost by SEVERAL degrees and...
