🏃‍♂️⚽🏀 🏈⚾️🎾Ready to get back to your sport after an injury?
Feeling ready and being ready aren’t always the same thing.

Return-to-sport testing provides objective data that helps determine whether your body is truly prepared to handle the demands of competition. Through strength testing, power assessments, movement analysis, balance testing, and sport-specific performance measures, a performance physical therapist can identify lingering deficits that may not be obvious during everyday activities.

Why does this matter?
✅ Reduces the risk of re-injury
✅ Identifies strength and performance asymmetries
✅ Builds confidence in your return
✅ Provides measurable benchmarks for safe progression
✅ Ensures you’re prepared for the demands of your sport

Research consistently shows that athletes who return before achieving appropriate strength and functional benchmarks are at a significantly greater risk of sustaining another injury.

Don’t leave your return to sport up to guesswork.
At Onward Physical Therapy, we use evidence-based return-to-sport testing to help athletes return stronger, safer, and more confident than before.
Don’t just feel ready.
Be ready.

Our free 16-week Hyrox training plan just dropped — and it was built for almost anyone willing to do the work.

Typical gym-goer? Start at Week 1. The early weeks build your aerobic base and introduce Hyrox-specific movements progressively. No deep end on day one.

CrossFitter with a conditioning base? Consider jumping in at Week 4 — a compressed 12-week version. Your engine is already primed. This plan just directs it.

Runner? Start at Week 1 no matter what. The strength work in this program isn’t optional decoration — it’s what keeps you moving through eight stations of sled pushes, lunges, wall balls, and farmer carries after you’ve already been running for over an hour.

16 weeks. Periodized into Base, Build, Peak, and Taper. Quarter, half, and full race simulations built in. Sled work, compromised running, and RPE-guided strength — all mapped to race day.

“Gluteal amnesia” sounds catchy… but there’s no scientific evidence that your glutes can literally “forget” how to fire. 👀

What people are often experiencing is weakness, poor load management, pain inhibition, fatigue, reduced movement variability, or lack of single-leg stability — not sleeping glutes.

If you want stronger, more functional glutes, stop chasing endless banded “activation” drills and start building:
✔️ Single-leg stability
✔️ Pelvic control
✔️ Hip strength through full ranges
✔️ Progressive loading
✔️ Coordination under real movement demands

Your glutes are designed to stabilize, absorb force, and produce power — especially during walking, running, climbing stairs, lunging, and changing direction. That’s why single-leg training can be such a game changer for improving glute strength and control. 🔥

And remember: if your hips or low back hurt during training, don’t just push through it or assume your glutes “aren’t firing.” Pain is more complex than that.

As performance physical therapists we can help identify what’s actually contributing to your symptoms and build a plan specific to you. 💪

Train smarter. Hurt less, Get Hurt Less.
