Why Built by Borda Is Different

Rehab That Moves You Forward

Some rehabilitation models can pull athletes out of the gym, slow training exposure, or focus primarily on pain rather than full performance.

At Built by Borda, rehabilitation is designed to support athletes who want to stay engaged, stay strong, and return to sport prepared—not just cleared.

What Sets This Approach Apart

✓ We focus on what you can do, not just what you can’t.
Even during injury recovery, most athletes are capable of training in some capacity. Programming is modified to maintain strength, conditioning, and movement while respecting the healing process, helping athletes stay physically and mentally connected to their sport.

✓ You receive a detailed, sport-specific return-to-play plan.
Clear progression matters. Athletes are guided through appropriate skills, drills, conditioning, and loading so expectations are defined and progress feels intentional.

✓ The mental side of recovery is part of the process.
Confidence, fear of re-injury, frustration, and uncertainty are common during rehab. Addressing these factors is essential for a successful return to sport and long-term performance.

✓ Rehabilitation transitions seamlessly into strength and performance.
Rather than stopping at symptom resolution, rehab blends into strength training and sport preparation—bridging the gap so athletes don’t feel “cleared but not ready.”

What rehab looks like here.

Physical therapy at Built by Borda blends rehabilitation, strength training, and sport preparation into a cohesive process. Sessions are designed around the athlete’s current abilities, injury status, and sport demands—whether that’s gymnastics, another competitive sport, or an active lifestyle.

Care may include:

  • Injury assessment and movement analysis

  • Progressive rehabilitation exercises

  • Strength training tailored to the athlete

  • Sport-specific preparation and load management

  • Education around training modifications and recovery

The goal is not just recovery—but capacity.

Who is this good for.

  • Gymnasts managing injuries while continuing to train

  • Youth and adult athletes returning from injury or surgery

  • Athletes with recurring pain or lingering limitations

  • Individuals who want rehab to connect to performance

  • Athletes who want guidance beyond basic exercise sheets

Return to sport is a process

Return to sport is treated as a gradual, intentional progression—not a single clearance date. Programming focuses on restoring strength, tolerance, and confidence so athletes can safely reintroduce skills, conditioning, and training volume.

Return-to-sport planning considers:

  • Physical readiness and fatigue tolerance

  • Sport-specific demands and skill exposure

  • Confidence, fear, and mental readiness

  • Communication with coaches and families when appropriate

Beyond Rehab

Rehabilitation at Built by Borda does not end when pain improves. Strength training and performance principles are integrated to help athletes transition from rehab to full training with fewer setbacks and greater confidence.

This approach helps athletes leave rehab:

  • Stronger than before injury

  • More resilient to future injury

  • Better prepared for sport demands

There are also options to continue working on injury prevention, strength, and performance improvement.

Learn more about Jenny

Athletes and parents who work with me say…

  • “Working with Jenny has been transformative for my gymnastics. She has helped me make my body stronger and healthier by learning exercises and strategies to help with any aches or pains that may have came my way in my sport, and prevent those pains from coming back. With her help, I have been able to improve my form and keep my body ready to go and healthy before, during, and after season."

    Karleigh Reutzel

  • "It is clear that Jenny cares about me and other patients as humans before athletes. I had a severe shoulder injury last season and was in a very low place. I was even contemplating if I wanted to continue my career in gymnastics. However, having seen Jenny consistently since the spring, I am pain-free and have found a love for gymnastics again. I can’t thank Jenny enough for everything she has done for me!"

    Emma Pritchard

  • “Literally the best coach I’ve had in any sport/activity I’ve done. Corrects and critiques in the right way while still having fun and being positive! She works my butt off, but I love it!"

    Taylor Weiss

  • " first met Jenny when I was in high-school and I worked with her to PT dance-related knee and hip injuries. After dancing through college, I was struggling with chronic pain in my hip and increasing instability. I reconnected with Jenny and worked with her through her Injury Prevention Program. This program WORKS. I gained so much more strength, stability, and flexibility in my hip.. and best of all, I was in significantly less pain. Jenny’s programs allowed me to get back to dancing professionally and addressed issues I had been neglecting for too long. "
