Performance & Injury Prevention

We help athletes move better, not just feel better.

Injury prevention and performance care start with understanding how your body handles stress, load, and movement over time. Our approach identifies limitations early so you can train consistently without setbacks. Our approach identifies limitations early so you can train consistently without setbacks. Our approach focuses on identifying these factors early so you can continue training without setbacks.

Mobility
We assess joint and soft tissue mobility to identify restrictions that may be limiting performance or increasing strain elsewhere in the body.

Stability
Mobility must be supported by control. We evaluate core stability, hip strength, and shoulder mechanics to ensure joints are supported during training and sport-specific movement.

Load Tolerance
Your body needs to tolerate the demands you place on it. We help improve tissue resilience and strength so you can lift, run, and train without recurring flare-ups.

Biomechanics
We look at how you move during squats, hinges, running, and sport-specific patterns. Small inefficiencies compound over time and can lead to overuse injuries.

Movement Assessment
Every athlete receives a targeted movement assessment to identify asymmetries and compensation patterns. This allows us to create individualized treatment and rehab strategies that support long-term performance.

Our goal is to help you stay consistent with training, recover efficiently, and reduce injury risk while maintaining performance.

At our Mountain View sports chiropractic clinic, we help athletes and active adults recover from injury, improve mobility, and stay performing at their highest level. Whether you’re a runner, lifter, weekend warrior, or competitive athlete, our care is designed to get you back in the game safely and efficiently.
