Your body needs more work beyond the point of becoming pain-free, because relative weaknesses aren’t necessarily painful. 1 2 3 4 WHERE MOST PT STOPS 01 ### Restore Get in control of your symptoms We start with weekly sessions to find the root cause of your pain and what led to it. We take time to fully assess your body and build an in-depth plan, and we keep reassessing as you respond, so the plan evolves with you. Our priority is getting you in control of your symptoms while you keep moving as much as possible. Where most PT stops Why care usually ends here Care here is less individualised, and it doesn't progress into coaching - which is what actually builds your injury buffer. Insurance is much of the reason: it covers you up to the point where you can get through daily, non-active tasks without pain, and stops there. Our clients are trying to be genuinely active. Insurance doesn't account for that, and it doesn't cover proactive care. 02 ### Reload Build back to full training This is often the longest stretch. Rebuilding from low mileage back to your full training takes time. The goal is a sustainable return, at a pace your body can absorb. We rebuild your strength, mobility, and tissue capacity so your body can handle your goals, and you learn to read your symptoms and adjust your plan with confidence. 03 ### Optimize Build your [injury buffer](https://www.steadystatehealth.com/the-active-maine-blog/the-injury-buffer-why-so-many-runners-are-chronically-injured) We work on the long-standing weaknesses and habits that led you here. We build capacity above your old baseline, so the normal ups and downs of training, life stress, and imperfect recovery don't cause another injury. You take on more than you did before, on purpose. 04 ### Run for Life Train with purpose, stay consistent The main goal now is preventing injuries, because injuries are the biggest thing that breaks consistency. Consistent, purposeful training is what builds durability, and it improves your performance when that's your goal. In a down or off period, we find the minimal dose that keeps you ready to return without re-injury. Next step ## We always start with a chat. We want to make sure that we’re a good fit for you & that you’re a good fit for us. Let’s hop on a call to get started & you can ask any further questions you might have. ![The front desk at Steady State Health in Portland, Maine.](https://www.steadystatehealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/230505-BDoscher-SteadyState-164.jpg?width=900&name=230505-BDoscher-SteadyState-164.jpg "The front desk at Steady State Health in Portland, Maine.")
