5 months post ACL repair, @tjcadden21 is strengthening his knee for sharp routes and quick cuts.

🦵 Single-leg decel – control the eccentric landing so the knee absorbs force safely and sets up the next push-off.
⚡ RFD (rate of force development) – train the knee to hit peak force in the first 200 ms for an explosive first step.
🔁 Impulse – maintain high force through the entire ground contact, powering all the way out of the cut.

Testing day with BC ⚽️ midfielder @elly.slensky

We collect metrics using @vald_health Force Plates + Dynamo dynamometer to capture…

▶️ Force curve – shows how efficiently she produces and absorbs force.
▶️Strength symmetry – compares quad and hamstring strength on both legs to flag imbalances.
▶️Deceleration profile – measures how well she slows down and changes direction, a key demand in soccer.

📈The data gives the PT a clear picture of what’s strong, what’s lagging, and how they can improve. They turn that information into an individualized rehab program to target the exact needs and goals of the athlete.

I was fresh out of surgery with a torn rotator cuff and I was sent to Petroski Physio by my doctor. I was in a lot of pain and feeling bad about myself and my long road to recovery. As I walked through the door I was greeted by Taylor and Jared who were so energetic and engaging, and it really gave me a good vibe right from the start. Then I met Dom , my therapist (and guru), and he evaluated me and went over how PT would go. Dom is an amazing therapist! He had hundreds of different exercises for me to work on just on my shoulder! That’s not what makes Dom great however, it’s the dedication and compassion he showed me every session. He never missed a session- rain, sleet or snow. In a matter of fact, all the therapists are terrific! As I would do my exercises I would observe the crew at work and they are tremendous because they don’t give up on you ever! If you come in to PT, they are there for you no matter what. Eric, Nick, Sean, Taylor, Jared, all the interns, and especially Dom, thank you so much for getting my shoulder back to normal! I would recommend Petroski to anyone that needs physical therapy for anything because these guys really do care about you.

After I fractured my humerus, Dom helped me build my strength back and even surpass where I was before. I recommend going to Petroski Physio for any rehab or strength training.

During my high school baseball season with Holy Ghost I tore my labrum in my left shoulder. I had surgery at the end of the summer and my goal was to be healthy for the 2025 spring season. Nick and the team at Petroski Physio helped me rehab my shoulder super fast and exceeded those expectations. I now feel even stronger than I did before my labrum tear. The whole staff is extremely reliable, flexible, and intelligent.

Had lower back pain and extreme tightness. Pain and tightness was gone in 2 weeks. Couldn’t ask for any better service!

Such a great experience here. Quickly made progress with my lower back and at the same time got to strengthen my whole body. Very friendly and motivating environment with great people.

Went in for pain in my left knee due to cartilage missing. Pat took care of me and made the pain go away within a month. Would go back if physical therapy was ever needed again.

5 Stars! I had the pleasure of working with Jared at Petroski Physio after undergoing a knee scope in July. I had been struggling with significant pain from refereeing basketball for years, and my experience at Petroski Physio was nothing short of excellent. Not only did Jared focus on my knee recovery, but he also worked on improving the mobility of my hips, glutes, and other surrounding areas. We also spent time on plyometrics, strength, and conditioning. Thanks to his expertise, I am now pain-free and feeling the best that I have in about ten years.Petroski’s atmosphere is fantastic, and their entire PT team is young, healthy, and innovative. They are always up-to-date on the latest PT techniques and sports rehabilitation. Jared went above and beyond by sending me an at-home program after my final visit, which has been incredibly helpful in maintaining my progress.I highly recommend Petroski Physio to anyone seeking top-notch care and rehabilitation. They truly made a difference in my recovery, and I’m grateful for their exceptional service. If I ever have future pain or issues, I’ll be sure to return to Petroski!

Back in March I broke my right leg in a pole vaulting accident which left me immobile for many weeks. Going to Petroski really helped gain the strength back in my leg and make it even stronger than it was before. Not only is the therapy outstanding but the environment is fantastic as-well. Every time I walk through the door I’m greeted with a fist pump and asked how my day was. Thanks to Petroski I’m able to move my leg like I used to without discomfort. Best therapy around!

One year ago, I started my journey at Petroski Physio after undergoing ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. As a Division 1 softball player at Rider University, I knew I needed a staff and environment that would challenge me and help me get back on the field. Petroski did so much more than that. Every member of the team has not only helped me regain my physical strength but also built my mental strength in recovery. Thanks to their support, I just finished my first fall season feeling great and can’t wait for the spring! I can’t recommend Petroski Physio highly enough for anyone looking to recover and get stronger with an amazing team!

Jared and everyone at Petroski Physio have been great! The staff are extremely knowledgeable and create an inclusive and positive environment. I have been dealing with post op shoulder pain for 2 years which has been limiting my ability to fully participate in CrossFit. Since I’ve been coming to petroski, I have finally been able to get back to CrossFit and fully participate pain free! Highly recommend Petroski Physio whether you’re returning to sport or have any pain limiting function.

As a college basketball player recovering from an ACL tear, finding the right place for rehab was very important while being home for the summer. Petroski Physio has been the place for me. The training, care and overall experience here is amazing.Over the past few months, I’ve seen great progress in my recovery. The team at Petroski Physio has guided me through each stage of rehab, helping me get strength, stability, and confidence in my knee. I’m feeling stronger every day. Highly recommend Petroski Physio to anyone recovering from a sports injury.

I decided to go to Petroski Physio after having a cervical spine fusion. The location was right around the corner from my home, so very convenient. My therapist Jared, is top notch, much different than my previous PT experiences. Jared was able to get back from post op, to feeling myself again in no time. All of the staff at Petroski are very friendly and welcoming. Don’t hesitate to use Petrosky Physio for all of your physical rehab needs!

Choosing Petroski was one of the best decisions I have made. All of the staff members are amazing and make your recovery process feel exciting rather than difficult and stressful. They are always giving advice, encouragement, and guidance. With the help of Taylor and Jared my knee pain is gone after tearing my meniscus 3 times with a surgery that set me back. With the help of them and the entire team, I was able to continue to play and commit to play D2 soccer.
