From physical therapy
to real strength.
Coming out of PT can feel like stepping into the unknown. Our signature program takes the guesswork out of what comes next — connecting rehabilitation with results-driven training.
If you have finished physical therapy in Reno and are not ready for a regular gym, Performance EDU Fitness in south Reno is built for that step. Bridging the Gap takes the handoff from your physical therapist and rebuilds strength, mobility, and confidence with 1-on-1 coaching.
Kime Performance Physical Therapy shares our building at 3000 Airway Drive, so if you were treated there, the handoff happens under one roof. Every client starts with a 60-minute movement evaluation ($125). We serve Reno, Sparks, and the Reno-Tahoe area.
The missing link in your recovery.
Bridging the Gap is for people recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic pain who have completed physical therapy but still need expert support to regain strength, mobility, and function.
Whether you're looking to return to daily activities, sports, or an active lifestyle, our coaches work closely with your therapist (when applicable) to ensure a safe and effective plan — one that picks up exactly where your PT left off.
This is our flagship program. It's what Performance EDU was founded on in 2010, and it's the reason physical therapists across the region refer their patients to us.
Every client receives:
Initial Movement Evaluation
An in-depth assessment by our experienced coaches to understand where you are and what the safest path forward looks like.
Collaborative Care
We coordinate with your physical therapist or medical provider when needed — so nothing falls through the cracks between clinic and gym.
Individualized Program Design
Tailored to your abilities, history, and goals — not a generic post-rehab template handed to every client.
Progressive Training Plan
Systematically builds strength, balance, and movement confidence over time — with coached adjustments as your body adapts.
1-on-1 or Semi-Private Sessions
Choose the format that matches your comfort level and needs. Both give you direct coaching attention throughout every session.
This program is built for you if:
Post-surgical
Knee, shoulder, spine, hip, or any major procedure — you've cleared PT and need what comes next.
Chronic pain or mobility limits
Living with ongoing limitations that need structured, expert-led training rather than generic workouts.
Former PT patients
You finished physical therapy but aren't ready for a general fitness class — this is your next step.
Athletes in return-to-sport
Rehabbing an injury and preparing to get back on the field, court, or slope safely and confidently.
Accountability seekers
You need structure and a coach who will push you — but also know when to pull back.
After three back surgeries, I wasn't sure I'd hike again. With the help of the team at Performance EDU, I transitioned from physical therapy into strength training — and now I'm stronger than I was before my injuries.
Fifteen years of doing this, and only this.
Performance EDU has helped countless clients rebuild after rehab. We understand how to carefully scale training intensity, coach proper form, and monitor progress. That combination creates a safe environment that emphasizes long-term health and performance — not short-term numbers.
This isn't a service we added. It's what we built the facility around.
Every session ends with TableEDU — coach-led stretching and mobility work on the table, targeted to what your evaluation found. See how it works →
Straight answers.
Where should I train after finishing physical therapy in Reno?
Look for a coach who assesses you first, coordinates with your physical therapist, and progresses conservatively. That is what Bridging the Gap at Performance EDU does, at 3000 Airway Drive, Suite 175, in the same building as Kime Performance Physical Therapy.
Why not just go back to a regular gym after PT?
Being discharged from physical therapy means you are no longer in pain. It does not mean you are ready to load a barbell or return to your sport. Coached, individualized progressions close that gap.
What is the difference between physical therapy and return-to-performance training?
Physical therapy is clinical care: diagnosing and treating an injury and restoring function until you are out of pain. Return-to-performance training starts where PT ends, rebuilding the strength, power, and control you need for your sport or active life. Kime Performance Physical Therapy provides the clinical care in our building, and Performance EDU coaches take the handoff.
What kinds of surgeries and injuries do you work with?
Knee, shoulder, spine, hip, and other major procedures, plus chronic pain, mobility limits, and athletes returning to sport. See ACL rehab training and back surgery recovery.
How much does it cost?
The movement evaluation is $125. 1-on-1 sessions are $75 for 30 minutes, $100 for 45 minutes, or $125 for 60 minutes, with 10% off a 24-session pack.
