✔ Hands-on manual therapy and dry needling to restore optimal movement.
✔ Sports-specific strength training to reinforce stability and power.
✔ Movement screening and performance assessments to identify weaknesses before they become injuries.
✔ Education and injury prevention strategies to keep athletes performing at their highest level.
Bulletproof PT is more than a rehab clinic—it’s a performance-driven movement facility built for athletes and active individuals who refuse to be sidelined by pain.
Beyond Basic Rehab: The Performance Physical Therapy Approach
Traditional physical therapy often focuses on short-term symptom relief rather than long-term movement optimization. Many PT clinics prioritize passive treatments, insurance restrictions, and outdated rehab protocols, which can leave athletes feeling stuck in a cycle of recurring pain and limited progress.
At Bulletproof PT, rehab is about more than just healing an injury—it’s about building long-term resilience. Every treatment plan integrates:
Strength training as rehab: Progressive resistance training isn’t just for athletes—it’s the foundation of injury prevention and performance longevity.
Sport-specific movement re-education: Whether it’s refining a golf swing, improving sprint mechanics, or optimizing a deadlift, rehab must translate to real-world performance.
Neuromuscular training and motor control development: Injury prevention is about more than strong muscles—it’s about movement efficiency, reaction time, and stability under load.
Instead of relying on cookie-cutter rehab exercises, Bulletproof PT develops customized movement prescriptions that ensure athletes return stronger, faster, and more resilient than before. Whether you’re an elite competitor, a weekend warrior, or an active parent, this hybrid model of physical therapy and strength training gives you the tools to move pain-free and stay in the game for life.

Strength Training as Rehab: Why Bulletproof PT Goes Beyond Injury Treatment
For too long, traditional physical therapy has relied on passive treatments and isolated exercises that don’t reflect the real-world demands of sports, training, or daily movement. At Bulletproof PT in Houston, the approach is different—rehab isn’t just about healing an injury; it’s about building a more resilient body that can withstand the stresses of training, competition, and an active lifestyle.
Strength training isn’t just for athletes trying to improve performance—it’s the foundation of long-term injury prevention. Without adequate muscular strength, joint stability, and movement control, the body is more susceptible to breakdown. That’s why Bulletproof PT integrates progressive resistance training into every rehabilitation program, ensuring that clients don’t just recover but return to movement stronger, more efficient, and more injury-resistant than before.
The Bulletproof team combines principles of sports science, movement optimization, and strength training to create highly individualized rehab programs. By using sport-specific loading strategies, neuromuscular control training, and force absorption drills, clients improve their ability to handle stress, generate power, and reduce the risk of future injury. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, working through chronic pain, or simply trying to bulletproof your body against injuries, Bulletproof PT ensures that strength training is an essential part of your rehabilitation.
ACL & Return-to-Sport Rehabilitation: A Smarter Approach to Injury Recovery
An ACL injury is one of the most feared setbacks an athlete can face. The recovery process is long, physically demanding, and mentally challenging, and if not done correctly, athletes risk re-injury or never fully regaining their pre-injury performance. Unfortunately, many traditional rehab models rush athletes back to sport before they’re truly ready, leading to poor movement mechanics, compensation patterns, and an increased risk of a second ACL tear.
At Bulletproof PT, ACL rehab follows an evidence-based, performance-driven model that ensures athletes return to play with confidence, strength, and full neuromuscular control. As a member of the ACL Mastermind Group, Dr. Tyler Humphrey and his team use the latest research-backed protocols to guide athletes through progressive strength training, neuromuscular retraining, and return-to-sport testing.
The ACL rehab process at Bulletproof PT includes:
✔ Progressive strengthening of the quads, hamstrings, and glutes to restore knee stability.
✔ Single-leg control drills to improve balance, coordination, and movement symmetry.
✔ Force absorption and plyometric training to reintroduce explosive movement safely.
✔ Return-to-play testing to ensure athletes meet strength, agility, and power benchmarks before competition.
By prioritizing movement efficiency, force production, and joint stability, Bulletproof PT ensures that athletes don’t just return to play—they return stronger, faster, and more resilient than before.
Golf Performance & Injury Prevention: TPI-Certified Rehab for Golfers
Golf may not be a contact sport, but it places significant strain on the body, particularly the spine, hips, and shoulders. Many golfers struggle with low back pain, mobility restrictions, and inconsistent power output—often because of poor movement mechanics, lack of flexibility, or strength imbalances.
At Bulletproof PT, Titleist Performance Institute (TPI)-Certified specialist Dr. Tyler Humphrey helps golfers enhance performance, prevent injuries, and optimize their swing mechanics. The TPI screening system identifies movement restrictions, strength imbalances, and mobility deficits that could be affecting your club speed, ball control, and endurance on the course.
The Bulletproof golf performance program focuses on:
✔ Hip mobility and rotational strength to create more efficient swing mechanics.
✔ Core stability training to reduce lower back stress and improve shot consistency.
✔ Strength and power development to increase clubhead speed without increasing injury risk.
✔ Posture and movement analysis to optimize swing efficiency and minimize joint strain.
Whether you’re a competitive golfer looking to gain an edge or a weekend player trying to avoid nagging injuries, Bulletproof PT provides the expert guidance needed to improve performance and keep you playing pain-free.
CrossFit & Functional Fitness Rehab: Keeping Athletes Moving Pain-Free
CrossFit and functional fitness athletes push their bodies to the limit with high-intensity, multi-joint movements that require mobility, strength, and endurance. While this training style builds impressive athleticism, it also increases the risk of shoulder impingements, knee pain, hip mobility restrictions, and overuse injuries—especially if movement mechanics break down under fatigue.
At Bulletproof PT, Dr. Sara Steinocher—a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and Functional Gymnastics Specialist—combines sports rehab with performance coaching to help athletes stay strong, mobile, and injury-free. Whether you’re struggling with chronic tendonitis, postural imbalances, or movement restrictions that limit performance, Bulletproof PT provides sport-specific rehab strategies that address mobility, stability, and strength deficiencies.
The CrossFit and functional fitness rehab program at Bulletproof PT includes:
✔ Shoulder stability and mobility work to prevent impingement and overhead movement restrictions.
✔ Knee and ankle control training for safer squats, lunges, and box jumps.
✔ Postural control and core training to support heavy lifts and gymnastic movements.
✔ Dry needling and manual therapy to relieve tightness and improve movement efficiency.
Whether you’re training for CrossFit competitions, Olympic weightlifting, or functional fitness longevity, Bulletproof PT helps you build a body that can handle the demands of high-intensity training without injury setbacks.
Running & Soccer-Specific Rehab: Speed, Agility, and Injury Prevention
Running and soccer require explosive acceleration, deceleration, and change of direction—movements that place tremendous strain on the ankles, knees, and hips. Without proper strength, stability, and neuromuscular control, these athletes are at a high risk for ACL tears, hamstring strains, Achilles tendon injuries, and overuse syndromes.
At Bulletproof PT, Dr. Paige McKenzie specializes in running mechanics and soccer-specific rehab to help athletes enhance performance while reducing injury risk.
This specialized rehab program includes:
✔ Gait analysis and sprint mechanics coaching to improve efficiency and reduce energy leaks.
✔ Hip stability and core training to improve balance and agility.
✔ Strength and power development to increase explosiveness and endurance.
✔ Joint mobility work to prevent common injuries like shin splints and IT band syndrome.
Whether you’re a competitive runner, soccer player, or endurance athlete, Bulletproof PT ensures that your rehab plan is designed to improve your speed, movement efficiency, and injury resilience.
Postpartum Return to Sport: Strength Training for New Moms
Returning to sport and high-impact training after pregnancy isn’t as simple as “waiting six weeks” and jumping back into workouts. Many postpartum women experience core weakness, pelvic floor dysfunction, lower back pain, and decreased stability, yet traditional medical advice often lacks the progressive strength training strategies necessary for a safe return to movement.
At Bulletproof PT in Houston, Dr. Sara Steinocher, a Postpartum Return to Sport Specialist and CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, helps new moms restore core stability, rebuild strength, and safely return to high-intensity activities like running, weightlifting, and functional fitness.
The postpartum recovery program at Bulletproof PT focuses on:
✔ Core and pelvic floor re-training to restore strength after pregnancy.
✔ Progressive strength development to rebuild lost muscle and endurance.
✔ Mobility and stability drills to address postural changes and joint laxity.
✔ Sport-specific movement coaching for women returning to running, lifting, or high-impact workouts.
Bulletproof PT provides a structured, evidence-based approach to postpartum rehabilitation, ensuring that new moms can safely return to the activities they love without setbacks.
