Phase One
Pain
Take the heat out of it.
Hands-on work, dry needling where it fits, and focused shockwave therapy aimed at deep tendon targets. Your training gets modified around the tissue, not cancelled around it.
What We Treat
You have a race number and eight stations waiting on you. Being told to stop training isn’t a plan, it’s a pause. A cause-first evaluation finds what’s failing under fatigue, then builds you back toward the start line.
Sound Familiar?
Two or more? That’s not a fitness problem. It’s a capacity one.
Why It Happens
The thing that makes this sport hard is the same thing that hurts people: you run while already tired, push a sled, then run again. Fresh, your mechanics hold up fine. Deep into a race or a heavy block, the hip or calf that should take its share stops taking it, and one tissue absorbs the difference for another thousand steps. That’s how a knee, an Achilles, or a low back goes from quiet to loud without a single dramatic moment.
So the question isn’t where it hurts. It’s what runs out first, and why. A cause-first evaluation looks at how you load, absorb, and push off, and movement assessments like SFMA and FMS show which link is under-doing its job. Raise the capacity and that tissue stops being the one that pays for everyone else.
The Honest Truth
Rest isn’t a plan. It’s a pause, and the calendar doesn’t pause with you.
How We Fix It
You work one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every visit. Here’s what the four phases look like for a Hyrox injury.
Phase One
Pain
Hands-on work, dry needling where it fits, and focused shockwave therapy aimed at deep tendon targets. Your training gets modified around the tissue, not cancelled around it.
Phase Two
Prime
Movement assessment finds the link that quits under fatigue. Calf, hip, and trunk capacity get rebuilt on purpose, so one tissue stops absorbing everybody else’s work.
Phase Three
Perform
This is the phase that decides your race. Sled push and pull, wall balls, lunges, and carries come back one at a time, then get stacked with running the way the course stacks them. We test you tired, because fresh reps prove nothing about station six.
Phase Four
Prevent
You leave with your own load rules: how to build volume, when to pull back, and the small amount of work that keeps this quiet through a race build. Personal training picks up where rehab ends if you want the handoff.

Questions, Answered
Usually yes, in a modified form. Stopping everything calms the pain without changing what caused it, and it costs you the engine you spent months building. What we do instead is work out what your tissue can handle right now, keep you at or just under that line, and raise the ceiling on purpose. Some weeks that means swapping a station or trimming run volume. Some weeks almost nothing changes.
Nobody can give you an honest date before they’ve seen you move, and we’re not going to invent one. What you get is a plan with an endpoint and criteria you can hold your race date against: easy running without symptoms, then the loaded stations, then running and stations stacked together under fatigue. You’ll know which phase you’re in and what’s left, so the call on your race is a real decision instead of a hope.
Usually neither, not to get started. Scans turn up tendon and disc changes in plenty of athletes who feel great, so an image on its own doesn’t tell you what’s driving your pain. We start with a hands-on, cause-first evaluation of the movements that actually hurt. In Texas you can see a licensed physical therapist for up to 30 days without a physician referral, and treatment beyond 30 days needs one. If imaging becomes genuinely necessary, we’ll help you get it.
