Performance Enhancement: Bend Physical Therapy

Athletes have a “ceiling” of athletic potential. Pushing the limits may increase the risk of injury. A strong foundation and efficient movement patterns can reduce the possibility of injury and enhance performance. Therapeutic Associates has the only certified Sportsmetrics™ training program in Central Oregon. Sportsmetrics™ is scientifically proven to reduce the incidence of knee injuries.

With an increase in weight lifting and the use of supplements among athletes today, muscle and joint injuries are on the rise. Additionally, there is an alarming increase in the number of orthopedic injuries. Therapeutic Associates believes that standard weight lifting techniques and machines may create muscle imbalances and strengthen muscles in non-functional patterns.

Athletes are not body builders . . . why train that way?

To reach your maximum potential, conditioning programs must include strengthening, endurance, flexibility, neuromuscular stabilization, power building, and speed and skill training. For this reason our staff develops a customized, systematic performance conditioning program specific to each individual’s needs.
