What Is Performance Therapy?
Performance Therapy is a layer of input aimed at optimizing the quality of daily practice. Its purpose is to accomplish incremental gains in movement efficiency, and therefore aid in the promotion of wellness and improved performance. It is not a replacement for any variety of inputs - clinical or otherwise - beneficial to athlete recovery from training efforts.
More on this from Coach Pfaff.
Course Format
The main body of this digital Course is divided into three ‘books’ - lenses through which we manage our most relevant problems in sport, specifically PROBLEMS OF CHAOS and PROBLEMS of CONTEXT. These books are:
- BOOK 1 - PHILOSOPHY (things we need to know to identify problems)
- BOOK 2 - SCIENCE (things we need to know to identify solutions to problems)
- BOOK 3 - ART (things we need to know to solve problems)
We also present further insight with practical examples and case-studies. This includes reference to the here and now at ALTIS, as well as our own previous experiences, and those of our friends and colleagues from around the world. Finally, we offer our thoughts on current ‘hot-button’ topics in sport medicine, including return to play, hamstring injuries, medical imaging, and tendinopathy.

Dr. Michael Ashton, DPT, ATC (Professional Basketball)
The Course really challenged me by making me go beyond my comfort zone. It challenged some of my core beliefs, uncovered some biases…and provided a framework on how to function within a performance team. I would without doubt recommend anybody to take this course. The content is valid and would benefit all practitioners spanning all types of environments - not just the elite sports environment.

What to Expect From the Content
This course spends a significant amount of time introducing ideas, concepts, and methods before we actually get into the details of how we manage problems. Through this lens, we explore why problems exist, and how to go about understanding the most-appropriate management strategies to these problems.
We spend a lot of time on context - a lot of time on the process. This is important to us, as a crux of this Course pays homage to the fact that we all have our own unique challenges - our own problems - within our own environments. To simply employ a ‘paint by numbers’ approach to solving these problems is not an effective way to further our own individual knowledge, nor that of the industry in which we work.
Throughout, we then offer examples explaining how we have gone about these processes within our own environments - both here at ALTIS currently, and in the past within previous environments we have found ourselves in. This includes Dr. Ramogida’s experiences with the Seattle Seahawks, and Dan Pfaff with the lead up to Donovan Bailey’s world record 100m run in Atlanta in 1996. Finally, we share examples of how some of our friends have provoked a shift in thinking with respect to how problems are approached within their own industries - including Dr. John Berardi with nutrition, and Dr. Fergus Connolly with training for team sports.

READ THE REVIEWS
“Purchased and blown away with the volume of content! Being honest, I’ve skimmed through a lot of the content to get to book 3 and am now going backwards and forwards reading the material in depth, watching the videos numerous times and making many notes. I think it’s an excellent bit of work that is a great expansion to the foundation and short sprint courses as it adds a new context to what had been learnt previously.” Mike Fountain | Founder & Lead Coach for Speed Development Project, UK
“Currently working my way through book 1 and am really enjoying it so far. I like the mix of video and written content along with the checkpoints. I find that these really help me reflect on how it is relatable to where I currently am and how I want to apply it going forward.”
Caitlin Marshall | Athletic Therapist with UNB Track and Field/Cross Country
“I am two sections completed and loving the content. As expected you guys are bringing a unique and timely perspective to this subject matter. Challenging convention is one of my first loves and this program is most certainly on that path. Also happy to have been able to contribute in some small way to the outcome. Looking forward to the next few weeks of learning, contemplating and integration into my own process. Thanks for all you guys are doing!”
