Your PT discharged you.
Now what?
You were cleared, handed a sheet of exercises, and sent back into a life that asks a great deal more of your body than that sheet does. Most people stall right here — too nervous to load anything, too far along to keep seeing the clinic.
This is the gap we were built for. We screen what you have got now, talk to your Doctor of Physical Therapy, and rebuild from there.
Bring your clearance. We will tell you honestly what we can and cannot do.
We need
Clearance from your PT
We start with
A full movement screen
We coordinate
Directly with your DPT
We do not
Diagnose or treat
We are careful about this for a reason
Jesse’s father was diagnosed with motor neuron disease. Jesse sat in on the sessions and watched good clinicians push volume the research did not support for that condition, and watched his father lose the use of the muscle groups they were working.
That is where our rules come from. Screen before you program. Stay inside your scope. Let the data decide. When someone walks in six weeks after a knee replacement, those rules stop being a philosophy and start being the whole job.
“Too much, too early, on a body that has not been looked at properly — that is how you undo someone’s recovery.”
Jesse Covele, Founder
The people we see most often after a discharge
Knee or hip replacement
The joint is sound and the limp has gone, but the leg is still visibly smaller than the other one and stairs are still a decision.
Shoulder or rotator cuff repair
Range came back in the clinic. Reaching overhead in real life, with something in your hand, still does not feel like it belongs to you.
Back surgery or a long-running back problem
You have spent years avoiding certain movements. The avoidance has now created its own problems, and you would like to stop planning your day around your back.
A repair that never quite finished
The surgery was years ago. You got mostly better, stopped there, and have been quietly working around it ever since. It shows up on the screen immediately.
Nothing gets loaded until we have looked
You bring the clearance
Whatever your surgeon or Doctor of Physical Therapy has given you in writing, plus any restrictions you were told about. We read it before we do anything.
We screen where you are now
A full movement screen, scored. Not where you were before the operation and not where the average person your age sits. Where your body is this week.
We talk to your clinician
With your say-so we contact your DPT directly, so what we load and what they are watching are the same conversation rather than two.
We rebuild, and we re-test
Load goes on gradually, from your screen, in private sessions. Then we re-score you so the progress is on paper instead of in your head.
Where our job stops
What we do
- Screen your movement and score it
- Build and coach a strength program from it
- Coordinate with your DPT and dietitian
- Re-test and show you the numbers
What we do not do
- Diagnose anything
- Treat an injury or replace physical therapy
- Override a restriction your clinician has set
- Take you on before you have been cleared
If what you need is clinical, we will say so on the call and point you back to the right person. That is not us losing a client — it is us doing the job properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually yes. Bring the clearance to your consult. We screen you, we talk to your Doctor of Physical Therapy, and we tell you honestly what we can and cannot work on. We work alongside clinical care, never around it.
No. Physical therapy treats an injury. We take a body that has been treated and make it strong enough that the injury is less likely to come back. Different jobs, and they work best in sequence.
Tell us on the call. Some discomfort is normal at this stage and some is a message. We are trained to know which side of the line a movement sits on, and when it belongs with your clinician we send it there.
Sooner is generally better, because the gains physical therapy gave you fade if nothing keeps building on them. But it depends on the procedure and your clearance, which is exactly what the free consult is for.
We usually start you private, because in the early weeks we want eyes on every rep. Plenty of people move into semi-private later once the foundation is solid, and your program comes with you when you do.
No. Old repairs that were never fully rebuilt are some of the clearest things a screen picks up, precisely because you have spent years compensating around them without noticing. That is a solvable problem.
