Injury Prevention Training FAQs

Common Questions About Our Services in Downers Grove

1. Do I need a referral?

No referral needed! Illinois is a direct access state, which means you can schedule injury prevention training or physical therapy without seeing a doctor first. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO in-network and provide out-of-network reimbursement assistance.

2. What is VALD testing?

VALD technology provides objective return-to-sport testing by measuring force production, power output, and limb symmetry. This data validates whether you’re truly ready to return to competition or if injury risk remains—helping prevent re-injury.

3. What recovery methods do you offer?

We integrate advanced recovery modalities including dry needling for trigger point release, cupping therapy for tissue mobility, Normatec compression equipment for circulation, and Tendon Health Recovery sessions for overuse injuries. All sessions are one-on-one for your full hour.
