Synergy Performance Rehab

Most athletes recover.ELITE ATHLETES RECOVER STRONGER.

Let's get you better, the right way. As a licensed athletic trainer, I look for why you hurt in the first place, measure it with objective testing, and build a plan to help you get out of pain and back to your best.

It's the standard pro teams pay for when a player off the field costs them millions, and it's why athletes, their families, and everyday CrossFit parents trust Synergy. No insurance runaround. No hand-offs. Everyone here is treated like an athlete.

Recover stronger, start to finish.

Testing leaderboard

Who’s leading the testing lab.

Live rankings from our Output and VALD testing. Every athlete is measured the same way, every session.

Synced from Output and VALDUpdated daily
What it is

Lab-grade testing, built for athletes.

Output sensors measure how fast and how powerfully an athlete moves. VALD strength sensors measure how much force each side produces. It’s the kind of technology pro and college training rooms rely on.

What we measure

Power, stability and strength.

Jump height, rotational power with the med ball, plank stability, and grip, hip and shoulder strength. Every athlete takes the same tests, the same way, every session.

Why it matters

Problems show up in the numbers first.

A weak or uneven side often shows up in testing before it shows up as pain. For a growing athlete, that means catching it early, building the right strength, and coming back on proof instead of a guess.

Loading rankings

    Each athlete’s best result. Athletes are named only with their permission. Rankings compare athletes across ages, so the reports show each athlete against his own baseline.
