Improve Sports Performance & Recoveryin Oxford, MI.
Active adults in Oxford have the easiest commute to Thera Performance Lab. About 10 minutes south on M-24. We work with high school and club athletes from Oxford Community Schools, golfers from Boulder Pointe and Devil's Ridge, runners and walkers from the Polly Ann Trail, and active adults across Oxford Township and Addison Township who train consistently year-round.
Thera Performance Lab is approximately 10 minutes from downtown Oxford via M-24 south. No referral needed. Same-day appointments available most weeks.
What this looks like
For golfers, runners, lifters, BJJ practitioners, and weekend warriors who refuse to slow down. We map your kinetic chain, address the mechanical patterns that cause repeat injury, and accelerate recovery between training days using the RX2600 and a TPI-certified mobility framework.
Recover faster. Train harder. Eliminate the compensation patterns slowing you down.
Local context
Inside Oxford.
Oxford's training community runs deep. Oxford High School and Oxford Middle School athletics produce a steady stream of multi-sport athletes whose families want PT that treats the whole movement chain, not just the painful joint. Boulder Pointe Golf Club and Devil's Ridge Golf Club anchor the local golf scene, TPI-framework work is a frequent ask. The Polly Ann Trail is a regional draw for cyclists and distance runners, and the lakes around Oxford (Stony Lake, Squaw Lake, Long Lake) are popular with paddlers, anglers, and watersport athletes who train through summer. Add in the working-professional commuter population running M-24 daily to Auburn Hills and Pontiac, and you have a city built for clinical care that fits around real training schedules.
Who we see from Oxford
Common cases.
Oxford patients tend to be one of three profiles. The first is multi-sport youth and high-school athletes, Oxford schools produce serious volume across football, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and wrestling, and parents bring in athletes who need movement-pattern correction, not a generic protocol. The second is golfers prepping for or recovering during the Michigan season, TPI Medical Level 3 work for hip rotation, thoracic extension, and pelvic stability. The third is endurance athletes off the Polly Ann Trail dealing with IT band, plantar fascia, or chronic hip flexor issues that haven't resolved with general PT. The 10-minute drive makes weekly cadence easy for any of these.
Modalities we use
The tools behind the work.
The RX2600 Therapeutic Robot
Sustained pressure, targeted heat, and controlled vibration that hands cannot replicate. The only RX2600 Therapeutic Robot in the region.
Read moreBlood Flow Restriction Training
Strength gains at lighter loads. Useful in post-surgical recovery and for joints that don’t tolerate heavy weight.
Read moreManual Therapy
Joint mobilization and myofascial work delivered one-on-one with your therapist. No aides, no handoffs.
Read moreDry Needling
Thin filament needles release deep trigger points and restore movement faster than manual work alone.
Read moreSoft Tissue Mobilization
Hands-on release of trigger points and tight tissue around the joint or chain you’re working on.
Read moreMuscle Scraping (IASTM / Graston)
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to release scar tissue and restricted fascia.
Read moreConditions we treat
The pain that brings you in.
Sports Injuries
Acute or chronic. We get you back to the field, court, or course faster than passive rehab will.
Read moreShoulder Pain
Shoulder pain that comes back after every fix usually starts at the thoracic spine, not the joint itself.
Read moreKnee Pain
Knees show up where hips and ankles fail. We assess the whole chain. Not just the joint that’s complaining.
Read moreHip Pain
Your hip might be reacting to what your ankle isn’t doing. We trace it back to find the actual source.
Read moreMuscle Tightness
If a muscle keeps tightening up, the cause is somewhere else. We find what your body is protecting.

Questions worth asking.
Is the drive from Oxford manageable for weekly visits?
Easily. Most active adults from Oxford are at our clinic in under 10 minutes via M-24 south. The stretch between Oxford and Lake Orion is light traffic outside of school hours, and the route is a straight shot with no turns.
Do you work with Oxford high school or club athletes?
Yes. We see multi-sport athletes from across Oxford schools. Football, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, wrestling. Particularly for the chronic ankle, hip, and shoulder issues that build up across season transitions. The kinetic chain framework is well-suited to growing athletes whose mechanics are still developing.
I train on the Polly Ann Trail. What makes your approach different for endurance running injuries?
The chronic running injuries that show up on rail-trails, IT band, plantar fasciitis, hip flexor pain. Are almost never a problem at the symptom site. They trace back to a hip stability deficit, an ankle mobility limit, or a thoracic rotation problem. We map the full chain and address the actual link that's driving the pain.
Do I need to be injured to come in?
No. Many of the highest-performing active adults we work with come in healthy. They want to identify weak links in their kinetic chain before those weak links become acute injuries. Movement screening and conditioning are equally part of what we do.
I’m a golfer. What does TPI Certified mean?
Our clinical lead is a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified Mobility Specialist. TPI is the gold standard for golf-specific movement assessment. Used by tour-level coaches and physical therapists to identify the swing-limiting mobility deficits in a player’s body. We bring that framework to every golfer who comes through.
How quickly can I get back to training after an injury?
Faster than passive rehab gets you there, in most cases. The combination of the RX2600, BFR for joints that can’t take heavy load yet, and a kinetic chain plan that addresses what allowed the injury in the first place. That combination is materially faster than insurance-based protocols.
