Train like an athlete. Perform like one

Sport-specific training that builds strength, power, and resilience—whether you’re competing at elite levels or staying active for life.

The Gap

You're Ready for More Than Maintenance

You’ve recovered from your injury. Your pain is gone. But now what? Without proper training, you risk losing rehab gains, developing compensatory patterns, or never discovering what your body is truly capable of.

“Generic gym programs don’t account for your injury history… and fear of re-injury keeps you from reaching peak performance.”

Our Philosophy

Performance Rehab: Where Recovery Meets Results

At Salinas Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, we don’t just get you back to baseline—we help you surpass it.

Injury-Informed Programming

We design programs that work around or through previous injuries. This isn't a generic gym program—it's precision training based on your movement assessment, injury history, and sport-specific demands.

Evidence-Based, Data-Driven

Advanced technology—dynamometers, vertical jump testing, movement analysis—objectively measures progress.

Periodization-Based Progression

We use proven training principles to systematically develop your physical qualities through structured phases.

Elite Facility

4,200 sq ft facility with dedicated turf area and performance zone.

Elite Training for Your Sport

Tennis Performance Training

Led by a Certified Tennis Performance Specialist, our program develops strength, power, rotational capacity, and movement patterns essential for competitive tennis while preventing common injuries.

Baseball Performance & Arm Care

CSCS-certified specialists use the SPARQ rating system to develop complete baseball athletes. Combined with our Pitch Safe arm care program, we build throwing velocity and explosive power while preventing arm injuries.

Golf Performance Training

TPI-certified therapists focus on rotational power, stability, and mobility specific to the golf swing. We address swing faults caused by physical limitations and build strength for consistent, powerful ball striking.

ACL Injury Prevention

Evidence-based screening and training reduces ACL injury risk by 50-70%. Essential for cutting/jumping sport athletes and anyone with previous ACL injury.

Performance Assessment & Goal Setting

We evaluate movement quality, strength, power, and sport-specific abilities using advanced technology. Based on your assessment, we design a periodized training program.

Coached Training Sessions

Testing & Optimization

We regularly retest strength, power, and movement quality to objectively track progress and adjust programming based on results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is performance training different from physical therapy?

Yes. PT focuses on recovering from injury. Performance training focuses on optimizing strength, power, and speed—taking you beyond baseline to peak performance.

Do I need to be an athlete to do performance training?

Not at all. Our programs are for anyone who wants to get stronger, move better, and live more actively—from competitive athletes to active adults.

What makes your sport-specific programs different?

Our certified specialists design programs based on the actual demands of your sport, using proven assessment systems like SPARQ and USTA testing protocols. It’s sport science, not generic training.

How long until I see results?

Most athletes and active adults notice strength improvements within 4-6 weeks. Significant performance gains typically occur within 8-12 weeks of consistent training.

Insurance Coverage

We accept all major PPO insurance plans, Medicare, and Workers’ Compensation. Elite-level sports injury care shouldn’t be reserved for professional athletes alone.
