Become the Clinician Jiu Jitsu Athletes Seek Out

Learn How to Treat Grapplers and get them back to the mats

Learn how to evaluate, rehabilitate, and return grapplers to the mats with confidence.

Whether you're treating hobbyists, competitors, or professional athletes, you'll learn the unique demands of jiu jitsu and how to bridge the gap between traditional rehabilitation and real-world return to sport.

Most rehabilitation education is designed around traditional sports.

Jiu jitsu athletes present unique challenges:

Unique mechanisms of injuries
High rate of extremity and spine injuries
Constant exposure to end-range loading
Athletes who continue training while injured
Return-to-sport decisions that rarely fit traditional rehabilitation models

Without understanding the sport, it can be difficult to answer the questions athletes care about most:

"When can I go back to rolling?"

"What positions / techniques should I avoid?"

"How do I return safely without losing progress?"
