A candidate can pass a physical and still be physically wrong for the job. The cost of that mismatch, first-90-day injury, claim, turnover, far exceeds the cost of a structured screen up front.
Generic medical clearance asks "is this person healthy?", not "can this person's body actually do THIS job, shift after shift?" Without a job-demand-specific screen, you're hiring blind on the most expensive variable: how the body holds up under real load.
What we usually hearSixty minutes with Courtney, our Director of Training. We'll see how you move, find what's driving it, write you a plan, and tell you the truth about what it'll take.
Functional Capacity Evaluation calibrated to your specific job demands. We document the lift, carry, push-pull, and endurance demands of the role, then test candidates against that profile. ADA-compliant, defensible, and tightly correlated with first-year safety outcomes.

“It is times like this that I truly wish there was a 6 star option. From the initial visit to the coaches checking in with my progress after classes, I could not be happier with my ADAPT experience. They have exceeded all my expectations.”
“Sixty-eight years old. Came in for shoulder pain, stayed for the strength classes. The PT and the trainers are on the same team. Nobody else does that. My golf swing has never felt better.”
“I've been attending group fitness classes at ADAPT since 2019 and have experienced each class they offered. Since attending ADAPT, I have experienced less over-use injury and more comfort and confidence while hiking, backpacking and cycling. A big shout out to Carly, Caitlin, Jessica, Eric and Sheldon.”

Your PT and your coach aren't running separate playbooks. They read the same intake and apply the same movement principles, so restoring better movement in the clinic and reinforcing it in training is one continuous plan, not a baton pass.
Skip the doctor's-office stop-over. Walk in, get assessed, start moving better. PT is cash-pay: only motor-vehicle-accident (PIP) insurance is billed.
Continuity that compounds. Each session builds on the last because the same eyes track how your movement is changing, and consistency is what actually changes the body.
A few weeks of relief is fine. Decades of capability is the goal. Getting older doesn't mean giving things up. Members come in for one problem and stay for years because the system keeps progressing with them.
Imaging describes the structure. The movement assessment shows where your body is compensating and loading the wrong tissue. We work with what your body actually does, then restore it doing the right job.
Per-candidate screen runs 30–90 minutes. Volume packages available. Most companies see measurable reductions in first-90-day claim rates within the first hiring cycle.
