Injury prevention training in Woodbridge.

A cause-first movement screen for the hips, knees, and ankles, built for athletes who want to stay off our schedule, not fill it.

What It Is

A screen before the setback.

Most injuries we see in athletes don’t come out of nowhere. A hip that doesn’t stabilize well, a knee that tracks slightly off, an ankle that never fully regained its balance after an old sprain: these show up on a movement screen long before they show up as pain.

Injury prevention training starts with that screen. We take a cause-first look at how the hips, knees, and ankles move, load, and balance under the same demands your sport puts on them, then build a targeted program around what we find.

We run this as community-based instruction for teams, programs, and individual athletes around Woodbridge, not just a one-time appointment. The goal is fewer trips back to the sideline, not more visits to us.

What It Helps

Where injury prevention shines.

You’ve seen it happen to a teammate: one wrong landing and a season is gone. That’s exactly why you’re reading this instead of waiting for it to happen to you. If you’ve been injured before, or you compete in a sport that puts real stress on the hips, knees, or ankles, a screen is worth the hour.

Questions, Answered

Injury prevention, no mystery.

Youth athletes, weekend competitors, and adults getting back into a sport after time off. It’s especially useful if you’ve had a past hip, knee, or ankle injury and want to know whether that joint is actually ready for the demands you’re putting on it again, not just guessing.

A series of movement tests for the hips, knees, and ankles, done under loads similar to what your sport demands: jumping, landing, cutting, single-leg balance. We’re looking for the specific patterns research links to higher re-injury risk, then building a training plan around what we find.

Because you’re not being treated for an existing diagnosis, prevention screens are usually self-pay rather than billed to insurance. We’ll walk you through the cost upfront so there’s no surprise. Questions before then? Call us at (703) 763-3922.
