Performance Rehab

A runner, dancer, athlete, and post-operative patient all place different demands on their bodies. Their rehab should reflect that.

At Performance Rehab, treatment plans are built around the individual, their goals, and the way they move. From return-to-sport training to balance, strength, mobility, and performance-focused rehab, no two plans look exactly the same.

Honoring and remembering those who gave their lives in service to our country this Memorial Day.

You’re actually slightly taller when you wake up in the morning than you are at the end of the day.

As you move, walk, sit, exercise, and go about daily activities, the discs in your spine gradually compress from normal pressure and gravity. Overnight, while lying down and resting, those discs rehydrate and decompress.

Don’t believe it? Measure yourself before bed tonight, then measure again first thing in the morning.

Let us know in the comments if you try it out!

Our therapists use a specialized, individualized approach to help patients improve function, reduce discomfort, and feel more confident in their daily activities.

During OT Month, we’re highlighting the role of hand therapy in the rehab process.

With a focus on the hand and upper extremity, our occupational therapists address limitations in strength, mobility, and function through a more specialized, hands-on approach. It’s a key part of helping patients move and use their hands more effectively throughout recovery.

A recent feature by Roo News highlights an important conversation around the lack of athletic training support for dancers.

We’re proud to see our PT, Kendra Gage, recognized for the work she does with dancers at the UMKC Conservatory, providing guidance, care, and support where it’s needed most.

Through our Performing Arts Medicine program, Performance Rehab is committed to helping performers stay strong, supported, and performing at their best.
