REHAB

Got Pain?

When your hurting and things are just off all you want is to get back to normal, right? We can help. Simply pick up the phone, give us a call now and let's talk about your rehab needs. Let us understand where you are right now physically and where you want to be. With our guidance we can overcome any limiting belief or constraint you feel is keeping you from living your best life. As you can see from the video we take holistic approach to fitness and, of course, that includes taking into consideration any limitations you may have regarding mobility and strength and injuries.
This makes us uniquely qualified to bring fitness specifically to the injured and those with physical limitations, and not only rehab your injury or other limited movement but we can go beyond that training to improve your overall conditioning so it's unlikely you will face this same limitation in the future. If you like you can keep going and maximize your results by continuing your personal training. You are in charge we use our knowledge and experience to facilitate your recovery.

 

Need Pre-Op Fitness?

If you’ve got surgery coming up, getting in better shape beforehand can make a huge difference in how you recover. Think of it like this—if your body is stronger going in, it’ll bounce back faster coming out. We’re not talking about intense workouts or pushing yourself too hard, just the right kind of movement to help you build strength, improve mobility, and make recovery easier.

Everyone’s situation is different, and that’s why we take the time to figure out what works best for you. Whether it’s gentle exercises to strengthen the muscles around a problem area or a plan to improve overall endurance, we’ll make sure you’re as prepared as possible.

If this sounds like something that could help, let’s chat. We can go over where you’re at now and find the best way to get you feeling stronger before surgery.

Expert Rehab Workouts

If you’re recovering from an injury or preparing for surgery, I know how overwhelming it can feel. The thought of rebuilding your strength or getting in shape beforehand might seem like a challenge, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

We take a simple, practical approach to rehab and pre/post-op fitness, helping you move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence, all without pushing too hard or causing setbacks. Every workout is tailored to what your body needs right now, whether you’re easing back into movement after surgery or trying to build strength before a procedure. It’s not just about working muscles; it’s about protecting your joints, tendons, and connective tissues so your body heals the right way.

And if surgery is coming up, we can sit down and go over the best way to prepare your body, so recovery is smoother and easier. The goal is to keep you as strong, mobile, and comfortable as possible, every step of the way.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Let’s find the best plan for you and get you moving in the right direction—at your own pace, in a way that works for you.
 

Personalized Rehab with Gym Truck Chico


As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer at Gym Truck Chico, I understand how overwhelming it can be to face challenges with a part of your body that isn’t functioning properly. Whether you’re dealing with stiffness, limited mobility, soreness, or a serious issue like a torn muscle or tendon, I’m here to guide you through a safe and effective path to recovery.

A Comprehensive Approach to Your Recovery
When we start, my first step is to conduct a thorough assessment. I take the time to understand your medical history, the specifics of your injury or condition, and any recommendations from your doctor or physical therapist. This information is the foundation for designing a program tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that every exercise we do aligns with your recovery goals.
For example, if you’ve experienced a rotator cuff tear, I’ll collaborate with your healthcare provider to focus on rebuilding strength and mobility in the shoulder while avoiding movements that could cause strain or reinjury.

Rehab in the Comfort of Your Home
At Gym Truck Chico, I bring the gym to you—literally and figuratively. We use your current living environment as part of the therapy, turning everyday activities into opportunities for recovery. For instance:

  • If you have stairs in your home, we can use them for controlled step-ups to build strength and improve joint stability.
  • A sturdy countertop can become a station for modified push-ups or stretching exercises.
  • Even sitting and standing from a chair can become a functional movement to enhance leg strength and mobility.
This approach ensures that your rehabilitation program integrates seamlessly into your daily life, making it practical and easy to follow.

Tailored Techniques for Every Rehabilitation Challenge
Rehabilitation isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s why I carefully design each session with progression in mind. Here’s how I approach common challenges:
 
  • Stiffness and Limited Mobility:
    For stiffness in areas like the shoulders or hips, we’ll use dynamic stretching routines that gradually improve your range of motion. One example is arm circles to loosen up stiff shoulders or seated hip rotations for tight hips. Over time, these movements help you regain flexibility.
  • Soreness and Discomfort:
    Active recovery is key for managing soreness. This might include low-impact exercises like gentle walking or using resistance bands to perform light movements that stimulate circulation without straining the affected area. For instance, if your lower back is sore, we could do cat-cow stretches or pelvic tilts to release tension and promote healing.
  • Torn Muscles or Tendons:
    In more serious cases like a torn hamstring, the focus is on strengthening the surrounding muscles to provide stability. Controlled exercises such as glute bridges or seated leg curls (using resistance bands) can rebuild strength and support the healing tissue. I also ensure that every movement is performed with proper form to prevent further injury.

Turning Setbacks Into Comebacks
Recovery takes patience and persistence, but with a clear plan and consistent effort, it’s absolutely achievable. My goal is to not only help you heal but also to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to maintain your progress long after our sessions end.

Let’s transform your living room into a functional space for healing, use your daily activities as tools for recovery, and bring the gym right to your doorstep. Together, we can turn setbacks into comebacks and get you back to doing the things you love.
