What we do
One team. Every stage of recovery.
From the first day of pain to your return to sport, work and life — every service is delivered hands-on, one-on-one.
Pain Management Through Rehab
Address the cause, not just the symptom. Movement-based strategies that reduce chronic and acute pain without relying on medication.
Preventive Rehabilitation
Total-body screening and corrective programs that find weak links and fix them before they become injuries.
Nutrition
Practical fueling and recovery nutrition guidance that supports healing, energy, body composition and long-term health.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on massage, targeted stretching and joint mobilization to restore range of motion, relieve tension and speed recovery.
Total Body Wellness
Mobility, strength, sleep and lifestyle habits built into a sustainable plan — so feeling good becomes your baseline.
Performance Training
Sport-specific strength, speed and conditioning that takes athletes past baseline — from weekend warriors to competitors.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Structured recovery protocols after orthopedic surgery — ACL, rotator cuff, joint replacement and more — coordinated with your surgeon.
Sports Injury & Return-to-Play
Athletic-trainer-led care from sideline to full clearance, with objective testing to confirm you're ready to compete again.
Movement & Injury Risk Screening
Full-body movement assessments that identify imbalances, asymmetries and risk factors — with a clear plan to correct them.
Balance & Fall Prevention
Stability, strength and confidence programs for older adults and anyone recovering from balance-related setbacks.
Recovery Services
Cupping, instrument-assisted soft tissue work and percussive therapy to reduce soreness and keep training on schedule.
StemWave® Wave Therapy
Non-invasive focused acoustic wave sessions that stimulate the body's own repair response — about five minutes, no downtime. How it works ›
Our system
The Kinetic Continuum
From the operating table to the Octagon — one interconnected system designed to rebuild and optimize the human machine. Tap a phase to see how it works.
Recover — Rebuild baseline function
Orthopedic rehabilitation and pain management for traumatized and surgical joints, built on precision joint mechanics and neurological trust.
Targeted Muscle Isolation
Focused protocols work around trauma zones — mechanically locking the muscle, firing the quad, and safely mobilizing the kneecap to engage stabilizers without stressing the repair.
Post-Op Environment Management
Navigating fresh surgical sites to safely clear built-up fluid, localized inflammation and surgical debris while the repair heals.
Assess
Identify the difference between normal post-operative discomfort and harmful mechanical pain.
Stage 1 · Acute discomfortCommunicate
Overcome neurological barriers — learn to "talk to the joint," signaling the brain the limb can safely accept pressure and bear weight.
Stage 2 · Transition & regulationAdapt
Use controlled, incremental biomechanical pressure to map new, pain-free movement pathways in the nervous system.
Stage 3 · Managed mobilityRestore — Tissue, fuel and full range
Manual therapy restores tissue elasticity while nutrition and total body wellness rebuild the internal environment recovery depends on.
Myofascial Release
Targeted hands-on massage breaks down rigid scar tissue and clears local inflammation from acute trauma sites.
Guided Elongation
Advanced stretching protocols scientifically designed to restore uninhibited elasticity and full range of motion.
Joint Mobilization
Freeing mechanically restricted joints for optimal kinetic force transfer throughout the body.
Nutrition as Architecture
Customized macro- and micronutrient protocols supply the chemical building blocks for tissue repair, structural reinforcement and sustained output.
Systemic Alignment
Rehab stalls if internal physiology is compromised. We align systemic health with your physical goals to accelerate recovery across the continuum.
Reinforce — Bulletproofing the body
Rehab isn't just for post-injury recovery — it's armor for upcoming battles. Preventive rehab stabilizes structural vulnerabilities before they cost you.
The Science of Prehab
Highly targeted agility and joint-strengthening work that aggressively stabilizes weak links before a fight camp, season or high-impact event.
Structural Stabilization
Vulnerable structures — rotator cuffs, knees, ankles — reinforced with progressive loading so they hold up under real-world demands.
Fight-Camp & Event Prep
Preparation protocols proven with professional combat athletes heading into competition at the highest level.
Perform — Elite output & agility
Where rehabilitation ends, elite optimization begins. Grounded in the extreme physical demands of professional stunt work, this tier develops supreme agility, explosive power and sustained cardiovascular endurance.
Explosive Power
Tailored strength regimens that push the boundaries of force production while protecting the structures you just rebuilt.
Supreme Agility
Movement-quality and reactive-agility work that prepares the body for chaotic, real-world athletic demands.
Sustained Endurance
Conditioning built for extreme physical taxation and flawless execution — from competition to stunt-level performance.
The Methodology Matrix
Three tiers, one system — how the goals, targets and protocols differ across the continuum.
| Orthopedic Rehab | Preventive Rehab (Prehab) | Performance Training | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary goal | Restore baseline mechanical function | Fortify against future injury | Maximize physical power & agility |
| Target tissue | Traumatized or surgical joints | Vulnerable stabilizing muscles | Prime movers & cardiovascular system |
| Example protocol | Meniscus isolation & debridement management | Fight-camp agility & joint stabilization | Stunt-level explosive conditioning |
Where are you on the continuum?
Whether you're navigating fresh post-op recovery, mitigating daily mechanical pain, or peaking for professional competition — the Kinetic Edge system is ready.
In-clinic technology
StemWave® focused wave therapy
Kinetic Edge USA is equipped with StemWave — a non-invasive focused acoustic wave device in use at over 1,200 clinics nationwide. In sessions of roughly five minutes, it delivers precisely targeted acoustic energy deep into affected tissue to stimulate the body's own repair response. No needles, no medication, no downtime.
The science: three stages
Non-invasive — no needles or incisions
~5 minute sessions
No medication
No downtime — walk in, walk out
Pairs with rehab & manual therapy
Stage 1 · Energy delivery
Applications
Used across 150+ treatment zones — from chronic joint pain to sports injuries. Common applications at our clinic include:
Chronic knee pain
Lower back pain
Shoulder pain

33 years. Every level of the game.
Kevin brings a rare combination of 33 years of clinical and on-field experience spanning every level of sport, from high school athletics to the professional ranks. This extensive background gives him a deep understanding of the physical and psychological demands athletes face, allowing him to bridge the gap between traditional rehabilitation and high-level performance.
"Your rehab isn't finished when the pain stops — it's finished when you are stronger, more resilient, and performing better than you were before the injury." Kevin's philosophy of care
Kevin rejects the standard model of simply returning a patient to "baseline." His approach focuses on comprehensive biomechanical restoration, functional performance training, and long-term injury prevention. By treating the root cause of dysfunction rather than just the symptoms, he ensures that every athlete he works with returns to their sport with a competitive edge.
- Comprehensive injury rehabilitation — milestone-based recovery protocols that transition seamlessly from acute care to functional athletic movement.
- On-field emergency management — over three decades managing acute orthopedic trauma and complex field decisions.
- Biomechanics & movement screening — identifying movement compensation patterns to correct inefficiencies before they lead to re-injury.
- Sport-specific performance integration — final-stage rehab tailored to mirror the exact velocity, cutting, and conditioning demands of your sport.
