Welcome Brandon Rodriguez , our newest Athletic Training Intern from TTUHSC MAT Program

Brandon brings fresh knowledge, hands on energy, and a passion for performance rehab that fits right into everything we do here.

Through this internship Brandon will be developing his clinical skills, contributing to our programming, and helping us continue to push the standard of care we provide to every athlete who walks through our doors.

This is what building the future of athletic training looks like. And we are proud to partner with TTUHSC to develop the next generation of clinicians, right here at iTOP.

Welcome to the family Brandon. Let's get to work. 💙

Data don't lie 📊

We put our tennis athletes on the 1080 Motion to measure force output, power, and performance gaps.

But more importantly, we use it to track exactly how much they've improved since day one.

The data tells the story the eye can't always see.

This is how iTOP develops tennis athletes. From the data up. 🎾

It never feels like just another appointment 🌐

This is what happens when your clinician actually knows you. Your goals, your story, your sense of humor. The work is still real. The progress is still tracked. But it never feels like just another appointment.

That's what separates iTOP from everywhere else. You're not a chart. You're not a case number. You're a person, and we treat you like one every single session.

This Is iTOP Care. 💙

The single leg squat to fatigue test on the 1080 Health is one of the most telling assessments we run before clearing an athlete for return to play.

One minute doesn't sound like much, until you're on that leg and the fatigue starts setting in.
That's exactly the point.

Because games aren't won in the first play. They're won when your body is tired, under pressure, and has to perform anyway. The 1080 Motion captures every rep in real time, force output, velocity, power, and the exact moment mechanics start to break down under fatigue.

No assumptions. No guesswork. Just live data telling us precisely when your body holds strong and when it starts to compensate.

When the minute is up, the numbers tell us everything.

That's how we know you're ready. Not guess. Know. 💙

Here's exactly what's happening, and why this treatment matters. 🔬

When the Adductor Longus tears, the body immediately begins forming scar tissue around the injury as part of the natural healing process. That scar tissue is the body's bandage, but if left alone it becomes a problem.

Scar tissue mobilization manually breaks up that disorganized tissue, realigns the muscle fibers, and restores blood flow to the area. The goal is to turn restricted scar tissue back into functional, pliable muscle that can handle the demands of sport.

Scar tissue is dense, disorganized, and restrictive. It limits how the muscle fiber moves, reduces flexibility, and creates weak points that break down under athletic load. Add a blood clot to that equation and the tissue becomes even more restricted and compromised.

Skip this step and the athlete returns to play with a ticking clock.

Do it right and they come back stronger than before. 💙

Your hips are tighter than you think 👇

Lower internal rotation work is one of the most overlooked pieces of athletic training. When your hips can't rotate freely inward, your body compensates.

Your knees take extra stress. Your lower back absorbs what your hips should be handling. Your power output drops.

Opening the hips through internal rotation work fixes the root, not just the symptom.

Better range of motion. Better mechanics. Better performance.

Thrown 20 feet in the air. Caught by human hands. That's just a Tuesday for a cheer athlete. 📣

Cheer athletes are some of the toughest we see walk through our doors. Throwing, catching, tumbling, and sticking landings at full speed, the physical demand is unlike anything else.

We treat them like exactly what they are, elite athletes.

The Single Leg Perturbation Test is one of the most important tools we use before clearing an athlete for return to play. Here's why 👇

When an athlete gets hurt in a game it's rarely planned. An unexpected cut. A bad landing. A push from a direction they didn't see coming. Their body has a fraction of a second to react, stabilize, and protect itself.

That's exactly what this test replicates.
We have the athlete land on a single leg from a platform, then we push them in a random direction. No warning. No preparation. Just a pure reactive response from their nervous system, their muscles, and their joints.

What we're looking for:
✦ Can they stabilize under unexpected load?
✦ Does the knee cave? Does the hip drop?
✦ How fast does their body react and correct?
✦ Is there a difference between the injured and uninjured side?

Feeling ready and testing ready are two very different things. This test shows us the truth, before the game does.

That's why we don't guess. We test. 💙
