Athletic Training Plus

Bridge the Gap Between Rehab and Peak Performance

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?

Athletic Training Plus is designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and perform at your best — whether that's returning to your sport after an injury, hitting a new personal record, or simply staying pain-free while doing what you love. Clients typically see improvements in strength, mobility, movement quality, and sport-specific performance within the first few weeks. Our approach combines personalized programming, hands-on coaching, and ongoing assessment so progress is measurable and sustainable.

You'll work one-on-one with a certified athletic trainer who understands how to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and high-level performance. No rotating providers. No generic programs. Just expert-led training built around your goals.
