What Chiron is, how the model works, and how we fit alongside the coaches and providers already invested in your athlete's success.
Traditional sports medicine and performance are often separated. At Chiron, everything works together. Our physician-led team combines sports medicine, performance testing, recovery, and individualized training into one integrated system designed to help athletes stay healthy, improve performance, and reduce injury risk. Instead of reacting after an injury occurs, we focus on identifying opportunities before they become problems.
The Chiron Method is our physician-led approach to athlete development. Every athlete follows the same five-step evaluation process before receiving an individualized Athlete Blueprint built around the Chiron Six: Power, Speed, Control, Elasticity, Resilience, and Readiness. Rather than guessing where to improve, every recommendation is based on objective testing and physician evaluation.
Your Athlete Blueprint is your personalized roadmap. It combines your medical evaluation, movement assessment, performance testing, and recovery profile into one actionable plan showing your biggest strengths, areas needing improvement, injury risk considerations, training priorities, recovery recommendations, and your reassessment schedule.
Most performance facilities don't have a physician involved in every athlete's care. Because your evaluation begins with a sports medicine physician, medical concerns, previous injuries, movement limitations, and performance goals are considered together — not separately. This creates one coordinated plan rather than multiple disconnected opinions.
Movement quality matters — but objective data tells a much more complete story. Using technology from VALD, we measure strength, power, balance, asymmetry, force production, mobility, and readiness so we can track meaningful progress over time rather than relying on observation alone.
Every athlete is reassessed throughout the year using the same objective testing used during the initial evaluation. This allows us to compare your results over time and adjust your program based on measurable improvement — not assumptions.
Every athlete completes our Initial Comprehensive Athlete Assessment: an athlete interview, a physician sports medicine evaluation, a movement assessment, performance laboratory testing, and your Athlete Blueprint review. The entire process takes approximately 90 minutes.
No. Many of our athletes begin training while healthy. Our goal is to improve performance while identifying potential limitations before they become injuries.
Our performance laboratory uses industry-leading technology including VALD ForceDecks, HumanTrak, SmartSpeed, ForceFrame, NordBord, and DynaMo, plus SOZO body composition assessment, SmartHeart cardiovascular screening, and SNAP eye-tracking technology for concussion evaluation. These tools allow us to measure performance objectively and monitor progress over time.
Athletic development doesn't happen in a single appointment. Our membership model allows us to continually monitor performance, adjust programming, reassess objective data, and support athletes throughout the entire year.
Yes. Athletes can schedule an Initial Comprehensive Athlete Assessment without becoming a member. Many athletes choose to continue with a membership after receiving their Athlete Blueprint.
Reassessment frequency depends on your membership level and goals. Most athletes are reassessed every 12 weeks, while higher-level memberships include more frequent monitoring.
We work with athletes of all ages and levels, including middle school athletes, high school athletes, collegiate athletes, professional athletes, tactical athletes, and adult active individuals.
Not at all. Whether you're trying to make your middle school team or preparing for collegiate athletics, every athlete deserves an individualized plan based on their goals.
Yes. Because sports medicine and performance work together at Chiron, we can bridge the gap between rehabilitation and return-to-performance while monitoring your progress objectively.
School athletic trainers play an essential role in keeping athletes healthy, managing injuries, and helping them safely return to sport — often across hundreds of athletes and multiple teams. Chiron is designed to complement, not replace, that care. We provide comprehensive physician-led evaluations, objective performance testing, individualized programming, and ongoing monitoring that extend beyond what most school athletic programs can realistically provide. When appropriate, we also collaborate with athletic trainers so everyone is working toward the same goal.
Many athletes already have excellent strength and conditioning coaches. Our role is different: we help ensure that training is based on objective data. We identify strengths, asymmetries, movement limitations, injury risk factors, and performance opportunities that can guide more individualized decisions — in many cases enhancing the work already being done by a strength coach.
No. We believe athletes perform best when everyone is working together. Our goal is to become one part of your athlete's performance team by collaborating with physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, strength coaches, skills coaches, and parents whenever appropriate.
Because even great coaches need great information. Most coaches are responsible for entire teams and make decisions using observation and experience. Chiron adds another layer by combining physician expertise with objective performance data, movement analysis, and advanced technology to understand how each athlete functions as an individual. Our role isn't to replace coaches — it's to equip them and the athlete with better information.
First, congratulations — that's an incredible achievement. But earning a scholarship isn't the finish line. The jump from high school to college athletics often brings increased training volume, greater physical demands, faster competition, and a higher risk of injury. Our goal is to help athletes arrive on campus healthier, more resilient, and physically prepared to compete for playing time — not just a roster spot.
Elite athletes often have access to outstanding coaches, medical professionals, and performance staff. Chiron is designed to complement those resources. Our physician-led model integrates sports medicine, performance testing, recovery, and individualized programming to provide an additional layer of objective insight — monitoring progress, evaluating readiness, supporting return-to-performance, and identifying opportunities for continued development throughout the year.
We don't believe in changing what works. We believe in measuring it. Many successful athletes train exceptionally hard, but few consistently quantify why they're successful or identify where meaningful improvements remain. By combining physician evaluation with objective performance data, we help athletes make informed decisions while preserving the strengths that got them here.
Chiron is a cash-based practice. This allows us to spend more time with each athlete, provide comprehensive evaluations, use advanced performance technology, and build individualized programs without the restrictions often associated with insurance-based care.
Our goal isn't simply to provide workouts. We provide a comprehensive system that helps athletes understand their body, reduce injury risk, improve performance, and track progress using objective data throughout the year. Many athletes and families view this as an investment in long-term athletic development rather than paying for isolated appointments.
The best athlete development starts with understanding. One connected system — medical, movement, performance, and recovery — built around you.
One comprehensive assessment. Approximately 90 minutes. You leave with a complete performance baseline and a personalized Athlete Blueprint.
