We work with athletes from all kinds of different backgrounds, but which sports would they want to be great at if they could choose differently? 🤔

Jack suffered a fifth metatarsal fracture that required surgical fixation. With this type of injury, the early stages of rehab can be a slow process. He spent 8 weeks in a boot before being able to begin loading the foot again.

Once cleared, the focus became gradually rebuilding his ability to accept and tolerate load through the foot and lower extremity before returning to higher-level activity.

His progression included:
🥍 Gradually restoring weight-bearing tolerance
🥍 Retraining the body to accept and absorb force
🥍 Progressing back to impact and jumping
🥍 Advancing to running, acceleration, and deceleration
🥍 Introducing cutting and sport-specific movements

These clips are great examples of an important part of return-to-sport rehab that can sometimes be overlooked: learning to absorb force again after a major injury and significant time away from impact.

Too often, athletes progress directly to running or practice drills without first rebuilding their ability to safely accept and absorb load through the healing bone.

Return to sport isn’t just about whether the bone has healed, it’s about preparing that tissue and the entire athlete to handle the forces their sport will demand.

Can’t wait to watch you on the field this year, Jack!

Running through pain and just hoping it goes away? Your body might be trying to tell you something.

These are 3 signs Cortney looks for to see if running mechanics could be behind those nagging injuries. Swipe through to see if any of these sound familiar. If they do, it might be time for a running analysis.

We’ll break down exactly what’s going on and build a plan to fix it, so running works for your body instead of against it.

Grace Elliott is a collegiate softball player at Marietta University who underwent a hip labral repair with capsulorrhaphy in May after battling through a season of pain and attempting conservative treatment while at school.

She came to Prime for her post-operative hip rehab with one goal: get healthy, get strong, and get back on the field.

Our approach to hip rehabilitation goes beyond simply rebuilding strength. We focus first on restoring neuromuscular control of the deep core and hip stabilizers before progressing to strength and power development of the larger muscles surrounding the hip.

Throughout Grace’s rehab, we focused on:
🥎 Rebuilding deep core and hip stability
🥎 Improving neuromuscular control and body awareness
🥎 Restoring strength of the major hip muscle groups
🥎 Progressing strength into power and athletic movement
🥎 Preparing her hip for the demands of collegiate softball

This progression helps athletes develop better control of their movement while improving hip joint stability, strength, and confidence as they return to their sport.

Grace spent 4 months with us this summer, consistently progressing through each phase of her rehab. She is now preparing to return to Marietta College and get back on the diamond for the upcoming season!

We’re excited to watch all of her hard work pay off this year!

Your feet go through a ton as a dancer, and most of that work is done with shoes on. This is a quick warmup for your feet that will help your dancer be ready for their next class or competition! 💃

Who benefits most from a running analysis? It’s a common question, but the answer is pretty all-encompassing.

🏃 The recreational runner who keeps getting the same nagging injuries
🏃 Anyone returning to running after time off (injury, life, or just a break)
🏃 New runners who want to build good habits from day one
🏃 The everyday runner who just wants to keep doing what they love, pain-free

A running analysis looks at your foot strike, cadence, hip/knee alignment, arm swing, and more, to expose the patterns that are invisible to you but show up as pain, tightness, or recurring injuries over time. Once we can see what’s happening, we can help you fix it.

You don’t have to be a pro. You just have to run.

Avery is a 14 year old soccer player who competes for and is beginning her freshman year at Walsh Jesuit, where she earned a spot on the varsity soccer team.

After tearing her ACL in September 2025, Avery spent the year working with us through every phase of her recovery, from early-stage rehab to strength and performance training and, ultimately, a full return to soccer.

Avery completed 6 months of progressive sport-specific rehabilitation and strength training, followed by 3 months of structured return-to-play progression. At 9 months post-op, she successfully passed her return-to-sport testing, regained greater than 90% quad strength, and earned her full release back to soccer.

Most importantly, she returned not only stronger, but with improved movement quality, strength, and mechanics designed to help reduce her risk of future injury.

At Prime, we do not believe in generic ACL rehab. Every athlete’s program is individualized based on their sport, position, goals, and level of competition.

We’re incredibly excited to watch Avery take everything she worked for back onto the pitch this season!
