CAN YOU RELATE?

You’re an active go-getter who loves to channel your former competitive days on the beach court in the summer, the rink in the winter and the Peloton when you need a comedic sweat with Cody (IYKYK).

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS...

Each time you step onto the sand, you are reminded of your old ankle sprain

– and when you hop off the rink on Sunday morning, your back tightens and you groan as you bend over to peel your skates off your feet.

If you are like any of the clients we work with —

YOU MAY HAVE BEEN TOLD:

>> That your knee pain is from “wear and tear” <<eye roll>>

>> That you should consider switching to pickleball

>> OR that your back pain is a normal part of getting older

And that leaves you feeling dismissed and at a loss for what to do...so you've tried:

>> Powering through your Crossfit lifts

>> Inventing beautifully crafted tape jobs (of questionable utility) so you can hit the court with your bestie

>> Spending hours scrolling through your Instagram feed in search of the latest fitness influencer that you can copy in hopes of finding the magical exercise to combat your achy back

DOES THAT SOUND LIKE YOU?

You are not alone AND you aren’t doing anything wrong!

HERE'S THE TRUTH:

As an athlete, you were likely led to believe that working hard is what led you to all of your achievements, and chances are, you were rewarded for your perseverance with praise, medals and ribbons.

But your younger days as an athlete also led you to believe that pain and injury are the price you have to pay for being active and getting older – and so you continue to push through the pain, secretly wondering when the day will come that you will have to stop doing the things that bring you the most joy:

beach in the summer
women’s league in the winter
and peloton rides to fill in the gaps

The truth is, most injuries don’t happen overnight and sports are designed to motivate athletes to keep playing at the expense of listening to their bodies --

But it is 100% possible for you to be pain-free doing the things you love -- now and for the rest of your life, despite your list of injuries and aching body.

By having a professional teammate who knows your body and sport, and can provide you with the comprehensive support you truly need, you can play beach in the summer and your women’s league in the winter with complete ease and trust in your body.

WE CAN BE YOUR TRUSTY TEAMMATE

At EMP -- we are here for you and we can help you go:

Feeling frustrated that your serve doesn’t quite hit the same way it used to

Hobbling up the stairs after Sunday morning pick-up

Racing up the stairs to grab your gym bag without a thought about your knee

Filling with embarrassment as you message your team looking for a sub (again!) after re-aggravating your back on your mountain bike

Feeling a complete sense of trust in your body as you agree to a co-ed tournament and shredding trails on your bike

This is 100% possible for you!
