What Is Athletic Training Plus ?
Athletic Training Plus — AT+ — is Restore Thrive's post-rehabilitation performance program. It's the step that most clinics skip entirely: the bridge between finishing physical therapy and returning to full athletic performance.
Too many athletes complete their PT, get cleared by their provider, and then walk back into the gym or onto the field without a structured plan. They're pain-free but not performance-ready. That gap is exactly where AT+ lives.
Working one-on-one with Dennis Dolan, MS-ATC — Head of Athletic Training at Restore Thrive with over 20 years of experience — you'll build the strength, resilience, and durability to perform at your best and stay that way.
Who Is Athletic Training Plus For?
AT+ is built for:
Athletes who have completed physical therapy and want to return to sport at full capacity
Active adults who want to build performance after an injury
Athletes looking to prevent injury and train smarter
Beginners who want a structured, individualized approach to strength and conditioning
CrossFit athletes, powerlifters, runners, and team sport athletes at any level
Anyone who wants the benefits of a personal trainer with the clinical knowledge of a licensed athletic trainer
You do not need to have had a prior injury or completed physical therapy to work with Dennis. AT+ is open to any athlete or active adult who wants to move and perform at a higher level.
What Does a Session Look Like?
Every AT+ session is one-on-one and built around your specific goals. Dennis starts by understanding where you are — your movement history, current fitness level, performance goals, and any areas of concern. From there, he designs a progressive training program that builds week over week.
Sessions may include movement screening and assessment, strength and power development, sport-specific conditioning, movement pattern correction, injury prevention work, and programming for your training outside of sessions. You'll also leave each session with a clear understanding of what you're working on and why — because education is part of the process.
What Outcomes Can You Expect?
Clients who work with Dennis leave AT+ stronger, more durable, and more confident in their bodies than before their injury. The goal isn't just to get you back to where you were — it's to get you better than before, with the knowledge and physical capacity to stay there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have had physical therapy before starting AT+? No. AT+ is open to any athlete or active adult — you don't need a prior injury or PT history to work with Dennis. If you're unsure whether AT+ is the right fit, schedule a free phone consultation and we'll point you in the right direction.
How is AT+ different from working with a personal trainer? Dennis brings 20 years of clinical athletic training experience to every session. He doesn't just design workouts — he understands how the body moves, how injuries happen, and how to build performance without breaking you down. That clinical foundation is what separates AT+ from general personal training.
Can I do AT+ and physical therapy at the same time? In some cases, yes. If you're finishing a PT plan of care and ready to start building performance, Dennis and your PT provider can coordinate your programming to ensure a smooth transition.
What sports and activities does Dennis work with? Dennis has worked with athletes across a wide range of sports including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, CrossFit, powerlifting, running, and obstacle course racing.
