True Core™ - Rehab Focused Strength Training

When you need more than physical therapy…

‍

True Core's™ Rehab Focused Strength Training is typically used by people in one of 5 categories:

Physical therapy isn’t working/hasn’t worked for them, and they tried EVERYTHING and ANYTHING else with no success
Physical therapy initially helped, and now you’re stuck. You can’t get back to your normal activity (or are still in pain) and you feel like you’re working hard to just simply maintain the little bit of improvement you initially achieved
The physical injury/issue isn’t something that is defined enough to be approved for physical therapy (decrease in balance, walking strangely, back or any joint pain without a specific injury event, neck stiffness, etc.), but is interfering with your ability to engage in your normal activities
They have an opportunity to avoid surgery OR are recovering from surgery, and you know you need more than physical therapy to get back to the level of activity and physical function that you want
They need to lose weight but their injuries keep them from being physically active or finding a personal trainer who can safely train them

‍

All of our clients tend to be physically active or want to become physically active, whether it’s doing Zumba with their grandkids 3 days a week, daily brisk walks, martial artists, recreational sports, competitive/amateur sports, adaptive athletics, or enjoy using their bodies in the gym

‍

If you need more than physical therapy, rehabilitative strength training is the next level.

Train. Evolve. Rebuild. ^(Repeat)

FAQ’s

Have Questions?

What days and times are sessions offered?

Strength & Conditioning Training, Rehab Strength, and Muscle Activation Technique™ sessions are offered Mon-Fri 6am-6pm and Saturday 6am-12pm, based on client and coach shared availability.

Do you offer help with healthy weight loss/muscle weight gain?

For athletes and active individuals (or those wanting to become active with strength training), we offer nutritional coaching as a separate service to encourage weight loss/muscle gain. This can be offered as part of an Intentional Strength™ - Strength & Conditioning program or Intentional Fitness™ - Active Adults Program

How young do you accept athletes/youths into your Intentional Strength™ - Strength & Conditioning Program?

Typically, our youngest athletes and youths are around 12 years old. However, we train younger athletes and youths on a case-by-case basis.

What is Rehab Strength Training?

Our True Core™ - Rehab Strength Training Program is a unique strength training program. It's for those who find themselves in the 'gap' between needing more than what physical therapy can provide, but not quite being ready or able to start regular strength training again. Click here to learn more about this kind of strength training and see if it's what you've been missing.

Do you train girls / women athletes differently?

While the basic principles of strength training (and rehab) are generally the same across the board, at ISP we specifically take into account structural differences between girls and boys, men and women, with training. Most of all, we work hard to ensure our girls/women reach the strength and conditioning level needed for their performance goals (not just to gain exposure to training or just get a 'little better'). If you've felt that other coaches in the past haven't challenged you or your child in the past to (safely and strategically) meet your/your child's physical potential, you won't feel that at ISP.

Client Testimonials

Gryffin (Recovering Athlete)

“I used to be completely dependent on my old service dog to help me walk...Between my knee surgeries and spinal condition, I didn't think it was possible, but I managed to come to the point where I'm learning to run again...I love it, it's awesome. It's nice to be able to be back in the real world.”

Tasha (Fitness Enthusiast & Runner)

“It has been a really good experience. I have noticed a significant difference on my fitness level and energy level. I've gone down 2 pant sizes, which is fantastic. And Katrina has really helped me understand and make the right kind of health choices in terms of being physically active and nutrition. Just do it. Just like Nike says. Just do it."

Rick (Record Holding Olympic Weightlifter)

With ISP's help, Rick qualified for the Olympic Weightlifting World Championships and was inducted into the New York State Strength and Power Hall of Fame in the same year.

Nika (5k Runner)

ISP helped Nika resolve knee pain, drop 6 pant sizes and run a 5k in 3 months. In her own words..."She has been amazing. I have finally been able to do exercises and using weights that I'd never thought I'd be able to use. I highly recommend Katrina because she not only focuses on body, but on the inside - everything! She's the whole package."

Nick (BJJ & MMA)

Nick is a BJJ instructor and retired MMA fighter. Here are his thoughts on MAT, "I had a consistent stinger in my neck that had been going on for 6 or 7 months and towards the end before coming in to see Katrina, my thumb and forefinger were pretty much buzzing 24/7. It was time to do something. Worse case scenario, I though I would need neck surgery. But it just turns out I wasn't moving correctly...Katrina's constantly chasing the problem and you couldn't ask for more from someone who's trying to help you."

Jiazi (Avid Skier, Kayaker, Hiker)

Jiazi is an avid skier, hiker, and kayaker who wanted to improve her fitness and recover from an ankle injury. In her own words, "My experience has been nothing short of amazing! This personalized approach has not only aided in my healing but also in strengthening my body significantly. Katrina is more than a trainer; she's a crucial part of my health journey. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized and effective fitness experience."

Jacenta (Lifelong Gym Goer)

“I think the world of her [Coach Katrina]! She is very unusual as a coach. She's very open-minded, she'll listen to what you have to say, and address the problems you have. And what's really neat, is that working with her made me concentrate on certain exercises, giving them my all. But more than that, she made it fun. She has a special way of getting the most out of your workout and getting the most out of you.”

Dr. Shawnte (Chiropractor)

"I love it [MAT]. I absolutely love it. I feel like so often a lot of patients put their hat in one arena as far as receiving care, when sometimes they need a couple of different things to achieve the best results. I have plenty of patients who I know have muscle activation issues that I know for sure need your services."

Brandon (BJJ & Powerlifting)

ISP worked with Brandon to overcome his back injury and adjust his training program for better performance and to avoid re-injury. He says..."I did a little bit of research, and it felt like it [MAT] offered something that I wasn't getting through traditional physical therapy or any of my chiropractic care, and my back was in such pain and it was so debilitating, that I was willing to try everything...It's almost complete recovery at this point and it's been about 4-6 weeks. The weights on the bar are about right where I was before I was injured."
