A CLEAR WAY TO EVALUATE YOUR OPTIONS.
Choosing a sports rehab provider should come down to clear questions: who evaluates you, how progress is measured, how the plan connects to your sport, and whether the same clinician stays involved.
What Valen Provides and What to Ask
| FEATURE | VALEN REHAB AND PERFORMANCE | A USEFUL QUESTION |
|---|---|---|
| Session format | A 60-minute, one-on-one clinical evaluation with Dr. Keagan Barrett | Who will evaluate me, and how much direct time will I have with that provider? |
| Assessment technology | Objective testing selected when it can guide a decision | How will findings and progress be measured? |
| Treatment approach | Rehab and performance training guided by the same clinician | How will rehab reconnect to practice and competition? |
| Return-to-sport criteria | Testing and sport exposure matched to the athlete's needs | What criteria will guide each return-to-sport progression? |
| Progress tracking | A baseline, written priorities, and planned re-testing | When will the plan and testing findings be reviewed? |
| Clinician credentials | Doctor of Physical Therapy with orthopedic manual therapy certification and sports-focused experience | Who will interpret my findings and coach the plan? |
| Continuity of care | Dr. Keagan remains the clinical point of contact throughout the plan | Will I work with the same clinician from evaluation through return to sport? |
| Performance integration | Strength and conditioning added according to the athlete's stage and needs | When and how will strength, speed, and sport demands return to the plan? |
What Sets Valen Apart
Full-Hour Sessions, Every Time
The clinical evaluation is a dedicated 60-minute visit with Dr. Keagan Barrett. Ongoing recommendations are based on the athlete's needs and plan.
Measured Decisions
Valen uses objective testing when it can answer a useful clinical or performance question. Numbers guide decisions, but they do not replace clinical judgment.
Rehab-to-Performance Continuum
Rehab is the primary service. As the athlete earns each gate, the plan can progress into the strength, power, speed, and sport exposure required for competition.
One Clinician, Full Continuity
Every athlete works directly with Dr. Keagan Barrett, DPT, COMT. The same clinician evaluates the problem, coaches the plan, interprets the data, and guides the return to performance.
Strength and Conditioning Integration
Strength and conditioning are added according to the athlete's current stage. The purpose is to rebuild the capacity required for training and competition.
Your Program, Always Accessible
The patient app keeps assigned work and exercise demonstrations available between sessions. Program updates are made as the plan progresses.
Athletes Valen Works With
Valen serves competitive athletes of all ages across every sport. The approach is built around the demands of athletic movement, regardless of which field, court, or surface you compete on. Baseball is the flagship specialty while all sports remain included.
