A rehab experience driven by making you feel more resilient, with simple systems that are proven to get you out of frustrating pain cycles while keeping you active and returning to unrestricted athletic enjoyment.
Hi there, it's Mitch :)
​
Thank you for your interest in working with me - it means the world.
​
I look forward to potentially supporting you however I can!
​
This page will highlight the majority of questions to determine if we're a great fit! If you are still left with questions, feel free to email me: Mitch.Tanner.Training@gmail.com or shoot me a DM on Instagram.
​
Once you've decided you're ready to talk with me about more details you can click any of the bright blue buttons that will take you to a brief questionnaire. All you have to do is click the button, fill out some quick questions, and I'll reach out within 24 hours.
​
Hopefully we can connect further soon!
What I want for you in the rehab process:
-
Resilience: an ability to withstand uncertainty, setbacks, and frustrations (both physical and emotional) by accepting that the pain or injury you're facing is temporary and by focusing on what is within your control NOW.
​
-
Physical Abundance: the ability to do more with less pain and live life to the fullest again. When most people seek out injury rehabilitation, they just want the pain to go away, but we can accomplish much more - including building muscle, reducing fat, developing performance metrics, increasing energy, & improving health markers.
​
-
Mental Wealth: the burden of pain and limitations that come with an injury effect more than just our abilities, but it can also negatively impact our social lives, relationships, life satisfaction, and mental health. Together we can rewrite your experience to help you accrue a wealth of fulfillment in these areas while simultaneously addressing your physical symptoms.
​
-
Sustainable Results: the person who can impact your pain experience and healing the most is YOU. You'll learn how to take control of injuries from the moment they occur, feel confident that you can navigate any setbacks that may come your way, and keep a healthy perspective in the process. ​
​
-
Authentic Health: by leveraging your values and trusting yourself, you'll become more confident in your ability to manage the pain, fear, and frustration that come with injuries. I know our time together has been successful when you tell me that you feel healthy, confident in your abilities, and like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

My Virtual Pain & Rehab coaching is right for you if...
You're dealing with pain that limits your ability to perform or enjoy life to it's fullest.
​
Whether you just got hurt and you don't know how serious it is, are dealing with nagging aches and pains, or you already tried physical therapy but didn't get back to the level you wanted, I can support you to regaining control and feeling excited about the process.
​
You've been training in the gym for at least 1 year.
​
My online pain & injury rehab coaching services are not for absolute beginners, but you also don't have to be an elite professional like the some of people you see above. I want you to be safe and get the most out of our time together, so having enough experience to train unsupervised without hurting yourself is crucial. Typically I work with people aged 23-50 who train recreationally, but do support competitors as well!
​
You're sick of the traditional physical therapy model.
​
Maybe your PT in the past looked like this: see the PT occasionally while they split their attention between 1-3 other patients while you do easy table exercises with some bands & get a hot pack or ice... NOT WITH ME! Rehab will look a lot like your normal training but I adjust the program with consideration to your current limitations. It's coaching!
​
You want the person supporting your rehabilitation to truly understand your athletic demands, goals, and how injuries impact multiple areas of your life.
​
Many well-meaning clinicians set out to support athletes without a REAL grasp of how big your goals are. How do back extensions prepare you to get back to deadlifting 500+ pounds? How do endless calf raises and a TENS unit return to marathon running? I walk-the walk as an athlete, and know exactly how to help get your life back.
​
You want to be comfortable navigating setbacks and flare-ups independently.
​
You want to regain control of your health and create balance as you train in the presence of pain. This doesn't mean grinding through pain, but doing the work you can in other areas and feeling safe in the presence of mild discomfort. Let's be real, there are ALWAYS setbacks in rehab. You'll learn my system of how to approach it with no sweat.
​
You're starving for clarity and confidence with your rehab strategy.
​
We don't guess, we assess. I provide a clear picture of the process ahead of you and make sure you understand HOW we'll achieve those results. The plan will develop as your abilities do, so you'll be confident in your progress.
​
You're finally ready to make your effort count and invest in your lifelong health.
​
You've spent enough time putting in effort without the level of reward you want. You're serious about following through on those promises to yourself and finally getting out of pain and living life fully again. You recognize that you're not just doing this for yourself, but for those you love (and potentially those you inspire).
