☀️ Summer Training Tip: Respect the Heat

Whether you're training, playing sports, or working outside the summer heat places additional stress on your body. Fatigue arrives sooner, recovery takes longer, and dehydration can sneak up before you realize it.

A few simple ways to stay ahead:

✅ Hydrate before you feel thirsty
✅ Train earlier in the morning or later in the evening when possible
✅ Slow your pace and adjust expectations on hot days
✅ Replace electrolytes during longer workouts
✅ Pay attention to warning signs like dizziness, headache, unusual fatigue, or cramping

Train smart. Recover well. Keep showing up.

Every session is different, dynamic, and challenging.

Hard Work. Consistency.

We see it.

We work together to help get you to your next level.

What is your pain costing you in time?

At Chardon Performance Therapy, we see this often. People come to us after trying multiple providers, treatments, or quick fixes that never addressed the real issue. Not because anyone intentionally gave poor care, but because healthcare can sometimes become fragmented.

One provider looks at one piece.
Another provider looks at another piece.
The full picture never gets connected.

We believe your time deserves better.

Our PTs don’t just work on your case while you’re in studio they prepare you for home based exercises to continue your care at home.

‼️Upcoming Workshops‼️ ACL Injury Prevention

Comment for link

June 17th: General ACL Injury Prevention
July 8th: Girl Power Edition
7pm start

ACL injuries can change an athlete’s season, confidence, and long-term performance. The good news? Many risk factors can be identified and trained before injury happens.

Join our team for a practical workshop focused on:
• Jumping & landing mechanics
• Strength deficits linked to ACL risk
• Cutting and deceleration control
• Common movement mistakes athletes make
• What athletes, parents, and coaches can do now to reduce injury risk

This workshop is built for athletes who want to move better, perform stronger, and stay on the field longer. Whether you’re in-season, off-season, or preparing for the next level, this is an opportunity to learn what actually matters when it comes to protecting athletic performance.

It’s hard to find a PT that listens to you. Here at Chardon Performance Therapy our PTs are here to listen. Our level of care sets us apart from the rest.

A secret weapon ⚔️ Dry Needling!

#performancetherapy #physicaltherapy #chardon #dryneedling

Here at Chardon Performance Therapy we know rehab isn’t only a one person job. Shared goals between PTs and patients is a recipe for success.

#physicaltherapy #chardonperformancetherapy #chardon #performancetraining #foryou

Torn hamstrings are no joke. Strength testing is an essential part of rehab so athletes can get back to both the weight rack and the field. Work hard play hard.

Parents:
Would you want to know if your athlete had a hidden weakness BEFORE it became an injury?

That’s exactly why we created this FREE Fall Athlete Combine.

Most middle and high school athletes never receive objective testing to identify:
• strength imbalances
• reduced explosiveness
• poor force production
• asymmetries linked to injury risk
They just keep training harder and hope for the best.

At Chardon Performance Therapy, our Doctors of Physical Therapy use advanced sports performance technology to give athletes real insight into how their body is functioning — not just how it “looks” on the field.

This combine is designed to help athletes:
*Move better
*Perform better
*Understand their body better
*Reduce avoidable setbacks during the season
And honestly… many athletes are shocked by what we find.

15 spots. Free to attend.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Listen in on Dave’s conversation with @grindstonejiujitsu. It’s not about being the best in the room. It’s about showing up when it’s hard and earning progress anyway. That’s where confidence is built.

Find podcast on Apple and Spotify.

#jiujitsu #chardon #consistency

In this Episode, Dave Nelson sits down with Will Brooks and Jeremy Prokop from Grindstone Jiu Jitsu Training Center, for a conversation that goes deeper than just training. They break down what draws people to jiu jitsu in the first place—and why so many stay. From discipline and resilience to confidence and identity, this episode explores how the grind on the mat translates directly into real life.

They dive into what it takes to build a culture inside a gym, how coaching goes beyond technique, and why accountability is the difference between showing up and actually progressing. You’ll hear how beginners evolve, how setbacks shape growth, and why the right environment can completely change someone’s trajectory.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost momentum, or questioned your next step—this conversation connects the dots between physical challenge, mental clarity, and long-term performance.

Listen Now everywhere you can find your podcasts!

New podcast dropping tomorrow!! Stay tuned to listen in on @grindstonejiujitsu story and learn a little more about the owners behind this local business.

Episode drops at 9am on all streaming platforms.
