Traditionally, the purpose of physical therapy is to return a patient to functional levels of activity.  In the eyes of insurance companies, this includes average activities of daily living without pain.  Climbing stairs, walking around at your job, tending to your flower or vegetable garden are all activities that fall within the average activities of daily living category.



Traditionally, this does not include brutalizing your body during marathons or even ultra marathon.  Participating in an Ironman competition and swimming Alcatraz just for fun are also not considered average activities of daily living.  However, endurance athletes are not “average” folks.  So what do you do after your insurance company deems you rehabilitated?  Traditional PT clinics would discharge you with a smile and a pat on the back for a job well done.




Real PT clinics take it a step beyond to provide post-rehab support and programs to take patients to the next level of performance.  Communication and collaboration with a personal trainer or coach is one way to provide a post-therapy program.  This is particularly beneficial when the trainer is certified as a Medical Exercise Specialist (MES) or when the coach is knowledgeable about injury prevention.



Another option for post-rehab is a virtual program.  Endurance athletes are busy people.  Sometimes an online presence is just what the doctor ordered!  90 Revolutions recognizes this dilemma and has responded to patient concerns about maintaining and enhancing their gains in strength and flexibility safely and effectively.



Exercise Central is starting as a database of video exercises that are systematically assigned for post-rehab training.  The programs progress and change to meet the specific needs and goals of the patient post-rehab.
