Physio, chiro, massage, injections, maybe surgery — and it keeps coming back. Chasing the pain doesn't work when the pain isn't the problem. Ninety minutes, and you'll know what is.
Staff instruction, program implementation, and case consultation. Institution names indicate where the methods are in use, not endorsement by the institution.
Nearly everyone who comes to me has already been somewhere else. Physio, chiro, massage, injections, sometimes surgery. They've been given exercises for the painful area and told to rest, and the thing keeps coming back.
It comes back because the painful area usually isn't the problem. A hip that can't rotate will keep failing the tissue downstream of it, on that same side, for years — and no amount of treating the hamstring will change that. Until someone finds the hip, nothing changes.
So the assessment isn't a formality before the real work. It is the work. Everything after it is only as good as what we find here.
Point A and Point B aren't language I made up for a website. It's the framework I work in and build on with my colleagues at Absolute Sport Science — a full method for establishing where someone actually is and defining what has to change to get them where they need to be.
It's been tested at the level where being wrong costs someone a season. Ohio State runs our Learning Module as a foundational part of its intern education. The Pittsburgh Pirates implemented our reverse hyper program on their major league roster after a day of staff instruction. Programs at Florida, Miami, and UCLA use the work, and coaches in the NFL and Division I bring me in on cases they want another set of eyes on.
What you get in an assessment is that framework applied to one body instead of a roster — by someone who teaches it to the people who run it at that level.
Absolute Sport Science →Find the actual constraint. 90 minutes, online, anywhere.
Book your assessment — $400Three of them you fill in before we speak, so the session itself goes entirely to the assessment rather than paperwork.
Conditions, medications, surgeries, imaging, and the full picture of the complaint — when it started, what makes it worse, what's been tried, what actually helped. Along with sleep, stress, and load outside of training, because they change what your tissue can tolerate.
Completed before the callLive, on camera. Table tests and a CARs analysis joint by joint — comparing what a joint can do passively against what you can control actively, and where it's limited. That gap is usually where the answer is.
The session itselfWhat you've already been through and how your body responded — which treatments resolved things and which didn't, what your training has actually developed, and what it has quietly never touched.
Completed before the callWhat you're trying to do, at what level, and what's getting in the way. Where you fall behind, what your own read on the limiting factor is, and what a good outcome looks like a year from now.
Completed before the callPick a time and pay. You'll get the intake forms straight away, along with what you'll need for the session — room to move, a camera that can see all of you, and any imaging or reports you already have.
Takes a few minutesHealth, treatment and training, and performance history. It's detailed on purpose — fill it in with your records in front of you rather than trying to recall dates on a call. I read all of it before we speak.
Before the sessionTable tests and CARs analysis, live. I'll walk you through each one and tell you what I'm seeing as we go. By the end you'll know what your joints and tissue are actually doing, and where the constraint is — usually somewhere nobody has looked.
90 minutes, on videoWe define where you need to get to, what has to change to get there, and roughly how long that takes. You get it in writing afterwards as a Point A / Point B report. If continuing together makes sense, we'll talk about it then — and if it doesn't, you still leave with the answer you paid for.
End of the sessionWhether or not we work together afterwards, you walk away with something you didn't have.
Named and demonstrated, not guessed at. Including why the thing you've been treating hasn't resolved it.
What your joints and tissue need to be capable of for what you're asking of them — a specific target, not a vague goal.
A written Point A / Point B report you keep — so you can act on it, or hand it to your own coach or therapist.
This is limited intake and I'd rather keep the slots for people it will actually help. If you're in the right column, don't book — you'll be wasting your money and my time.
I came to Paul with bad lower back problems putting me out of work for days at a time. He located the problem, treated it, and educated me on why my pain persisted. Two years later — I haven't been out or in pain.
— Mike B.Early 40s with a laundry list of chronic injuries from competitive sports, drilling rigs, and a decade fighting forest fires. I'd been at my wits end with therapists who sent me home with zero results. We've resolved almost all of my injuries — and in some cases I'm stronger now than I was in my 20s.
— NickI had not been making much progress with my ankle and heel after two ORIF surgeries. The amount of flexibility and range I've been able to unlock with Paul is nothing short of a miracle. He pushes in all the right ways.
— PatrickPaul is hands down the best practitioner I've worked with. He's helped me through two car accidents, multiple volleyball injuries, and an overuse shoulder injury — and he always knows when to push and when to hold back.
— SantanaI came in with persistent back and hip issues that limited my movement. I've seen continued gains in both mobility and strength — and what I appreciate most is the focus on long-term progress.
— KateClients treated in person at Champion School. Individual results vary.
Stop guessing at what's wrong. Start with the assessment.
Book your assessment — $400Ninety minutes, online, anywhere in the world. Intake forms come to you as soon as you book, and I read every one before we speak — so the session goes to the assessment, not to admin.
Intake is limited. If there's nothing available, you'll be able to join the waitlist.
Yes. Table tests and CARs analysis both work on camera — I'll direct you through each position and watch what your joints actually do. What I can't do remotely is hands-on treatment, so if your case needs that, I'll say so and help you find someone local.
No. This is assessment and programming. It doesn't replace diagnosis or treatment from your physician, and if you're in undiagnosed pain you should see them first. Where you already have a care team, I'd rather work alongside them than around them.
That depends on what we find. Some people leave with the answer and run the progression themselves or hand it to their own coach. For others it makes sense to keep working together, and we'll talk about what that looks like at the end of the session. There's no obligation either way.
Enough room to lie down and move, a camera that can see your whole body, and clothing you can move in. If you have imaging, surgical reports, or previous assessments, upload them with your intake forms.
It usually makes the work better. With your say-so I'll speak with them directly, so what we find fits into what you're already doing instead of competing with it.
Move it up to 48 hours beforehand at no cost. Inside 48 hours the session is held, since the time was reserved and the intake already reviewed.
Every case starts the same way — with an assessment.
