Elite Sports and Tactical Athlete Rehabilitation and Recovery

Take a good look at our website, and you will see that we are different.  Don’t take our word for it, watch our athletes’ video testimonials.  A warrior rehab mindset for the warrior in you!  Whether you are a soccer player, runner, football player, or BJJ or MMA fighter, we are here to serve you.  At The Athlete Lab, we know that participation in sports, competition, and physical fitness means so much more to you.  It is a big part of who you are and your life.  It is a part of your identity and who you are.  It makes you proud of what you are able to accomplish and to be able to share with others.  When that ability is lost, it has a big impact on you mentally as well as physically.  An injury not only keeps you off the field or off the mat, but has a lot of downstream effects on your health (current and future).  At The Athlete Lab, we know that, and we are here to help athletes not only recover to a higher degree, but also to come back faster and stronger, and to help them remain active for the rest of their lives.  To set them up for a lifetime of physical fitness and improved health.

The Athlete Lab is the only physical therapy clinic to reinvent how rehabilitation should be done.  We don’t just address your range of motion, mobility, strength, and stability, but also your internal chemistry (through technology, rehabilitation science, biologics, nutrition, and supplementation). We provide you the optimum environment to heal….. faster.  Studies show it can mean the difference of 4-6 weeks in rehab time!  At The Athlete Lab, we understand that and have always been at the forefront in this area.  Understanding how red light, peptides, stem cells, and BFR impact your body and how these biohacks can be stacked (biostacking) to optimize how your body heals.  Everything we do at The Athlete Lab is designed to aid in enhancing and optimizing your internal chemistry to accelerate your results and improve your outcomes.  Hear what our athletes have to say in our testimonials.

The Athlete Lab we leverage the latest in sports science & research and blend it with the latest in sport technology to provide athletes with a level of service, typically only experienced at the professional or elite military level.  Our services are provided by sports physical therapists who are specialized and certified in the various unique services we offer to provide our athletes with a consistent, comprehensive, and holistic approach to their care.

The Athlete Lab was founded by Dr. Trent Nessler, an internationally recognized sports physical therapist and sports biomechanist.  Dr. Nessler has worked with athletes of all levels (Olympic to professional to recreational) and elite tactical athletes for almost 3 decades.  Dr. Nessler has developed several commercial programs and technology products that are currently used in professional and collegiate sports and by first responders and military groups all over the US.  The ViMove+ AMI, co-developed by Dr. Nessler, in partnership with DorsaVi, has been used on 490,000+ athletes across 5 countries and is now the largest objective sport and tactical athletic movement database in the world.  This has led to the development of specific programming and approaches that provide optimal outcomes and results not seen in traditional rehabilitation models.
