Featured Success Story: Michael's Comeback

From recurring hamstring injuries to peak performance.

Michael, a professional soccer player, had been struggling with recurring hamstring injuries for three seasons. Despite working with multiple therapists, he continued to experience setbacks that limited his playing time and performance.

When Michael came to Athelite Performance Therapy, our comprehensive assessment using the Vald Dynamo and ForceDecks systems revealed significant asymmetries in his posterior chain strength and altered landing mechanics that were placing excessive stress on his hamstrings.

We developed a targeted program that addressed these issues through:

  • Progressive strength training to correct the asymmetries
  • ARPwave therapy to address neurological imbalances
  • Movement retraining to optimize biomechanics
  • Regular reassessment to track progress

After 12 weeks, Michael returned to competition with balanced strength profiles and improved movement patterns. He has remained injury-free for two full seasons and reports feeling stronger and more explosive than ever before.

"After years of recurring hamstring injuries, I was frustrated and worried about my career. Athelite's technology identified the root cause that other therapists had missed. Their targeted approach not only got me back on the field but has kept me injury-free for two seasons now. I'm playing better than ever and have complete confidence in my body."
