🚨Client Shoutout🚨

Lance came to us in April looking to get stronger and explosive in volleyball and basketball. He’s done just that within 4 months working out with us three days a week.

Within this timeframe he’s gained 5 lbs of muscle and dropped 2% body fat! He absolutely crushes every workout and continues to excel with any movement asked of him. We’re truly excited to continue seeing his progress in the gym so he can continue jumping on the courts.

We are offering individual and small group training to athletes getting prepared for their fall season. First two signups get 25% off! DM us for more information.

🚨Please welcome our newest intern Trenton Sandler!🚨

Trenton is coming to us as a recent graduate from Blue Valley North High School. What is even more awesome is that he was a previous player of ours during our time at BVN. Trenton is studying Exercise Science and Kinesiology at Louisiana State University while running track as a mid-distance runner! Trenton is here to get more experience in the field and to figure out where he wants to land in the exercise science/sports medicine field. He will be helping us produce more content so be on the look out for some useful tips and tricks the next couple months.

A fun fact about him is that back squat is his favorite lift. Which Coach Kurt also shares the same opinion.

Mondays can be a little tough to get excited about coming into work. But waking up to a text like this can really get the passion ignited again! It’s a great reminder of why we do what we do. Life sucks living in pain. We’re happy to be in a position to be able to help decrease pain and help people move better and be able to perform at their jobs.

We love tough workouts. We put our clients (and ourselves) through tough workouts all the time.

But sometimes your body needs some soft tissue work to help it operate optimally. We use up to date techniques to help free up some sticky muscles and joints that may be holding you back from becoming your best self.

You don’t have to google best ways to recover. Just book an appointment with us. We’ll take care of you.

Treating and training soccer players is our passion. If you have a nagging ache or pain, don’t wait until you are sidelined. We have specific manual therapy and corrective strategies to help you optimize your performance.

Allow us to take care of your treatment and training plan so you don’t have to take weeks off of practice and games.

Happy National Athletic Training Month to all of my fellow athletic trainers out there!

Only a small amount of the general population knows what athletic trainers are. An even smaller amount of people know what athletic trainers are trained to do outside of throwing ice on an injury 😢 or taping an ankle.

Athletic trainers are trained in injury evaluation, injury prevention tactics, and rehabilitation of injuries. Athletic trainers are also healthcare professionals trained in how to respond to traumatic injury events and how to assess emergency medical situations with their athletes.

We are so proud to be amongst some of the most versatile healthcare professionals out there, and we are happy to be in a position to share what we do in a private practice setting. Working with an athletic trainer in a private practice setting is so valuable because we can rehab some of the most common injuries in-house, and train you like the athlete you were meant to be. Throughout the month we will be showcasing what we do here. Reach out to us if you want to take your health and fitness to a whole different level.

Hey everyone just wanted to take a moment and reintroduce myself. My name is Kurt and I love helping people move better and feel healthier.

With the new year upon us we are all looking to make resolutions to ensure we have a better year. My goal is to make it a weekly habit of posting content on here to help people with some things that may be holding them back.

If you would like more in-depth help please reach out to me.

We had an exceptional time at the first High Performance Summit held by the Sporting KC Performance and Rehab staff. We heard from some of the best in the world in their craft when it comes to soccer strength & conditioning and rehabilitation. Now on to putting what we learned and turn it into practice!

Happy Friday all! We have a client here with a post-Jones fracture on the left side. After some work on her lower leg we decided to give a helical tape job a try to assist with foot pronation and driving through her big toe. After some soft tissue work and the job she found she immediately had better stability during a single leg RDL exercise. We’re giving that brain a whole lot of new input in the lower leg to help facilitate a better movement pattern to decrease her symptoms. Neat stuff.

This is for days that are just a pain in the neck y’know? Tweak taping to assist the slide and glide of muscle under sticky fascia. Assisted posture correction to remind my client here not to roll his right shoulder forward causing some symptoms in his neck/upper trap area.

We are taking a step out of our typical day of training to do some sports medicine coverage in the community for .

Just rest doesn’t fix a problem. The right dose of movement at the right time does though.

Say it with me now…

We have an athlete here demonstrating a version of the Copenhagen Plank. Major hip and core stability exercise here. She is another soccer player we have working with us and this exercise works adductors and obliques (slightly important in the sport). What is awesome is this athlete noted that we attempted this exercise a couple months ago and was unsuccessful. Now she’s able to do it with a smile for the Gram. Give this exercise a shot and attempt a smile. 30 seconds up to 1 minute here for a few sets.

Experienced our first convention. It was a fantastic experience being around other individuals passionate about coaching the worlds most beautiful game. We’re also excited to apply some of the concepts we learned not only on the field but in the weight room with our athletes
