RESILIENT STRENGTH
Tendon-specific strengthening: the key to lasting resilience after physical therapy – reduce re-Injury risk with forged training.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I’ve seen the foundation that conventional physical therapy provides—but I know it’s just the first step. To achieve lasting resilience and reduce re-injury risk, 6 months of progressive tendon-specific strength training is mandatory. That’s why I created Forged In Motion: to help you build true resilience and pursue a stronger, more active future.
Physical Therapy is Over…Now What?
Personalized Coaching
Personalized coaching delivers tailored guidance from a Doctor of Physical Therapy, ensuring your training aligns with your unique goals to reduce re-injury risk and maximize resilience after physical therapy. You’ll get the elite, personalized support you deserve with a highly selective approach, designed to fill the gaps after physical therapy. Physical therapy does well at removing pain, but there’s a difference between pain-free and resilient strength.
Tendon-Focused Training
Tendon-specific training builds the foundation for all movement, strengthening connective tissues to reduce re-injury risk and foster lifelong resilience after physical therapy. It’s the critical first step to ensure your body can handle the demands of an active life, no matter your activity level. With Forged Training, you’ll rebuild stronger tendons to support every step, lift, and stride with confidence.
Nutritional Guidance
Nutritional guidance fuels your body with the right nutrients to support tendon and cartilage health, enhancing recovery and resilience. It includes tailored guidelines and weight loss recommendations—because every 10 pounds lost reduces 30-40 pounds of pressure on your knees—crucial for tendon and connective tissue health, reducing re-injury risk, and sustaining your strength and longevity through every workout.

I’m Nathan Appleby, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and I launched Forged In Motion after noticing a glaring gap in rehab and personal training—you leave physical therapy feeling better, maybe even pain-free, but deep down, you’re worried about re-injury. Conventional personal training highlights weight loss and aesthetics but fails to address connective tissue strength. PAIN-FREE DOES NOT EQUAL STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE. Without the right training, re-injury risk remains a concern. You’re just one wrong twist away from throwing your back out. One extra throw with the kids before the shoulder pops. You don’t want to jeopardize that rotator cuff surgery you just had—don’t waste all that effort by stopping before your tendons are truly resilient and strong. You’re yearning to feel stronger and more resilient than in your 20s. You’ve bought the lie that you’re just getting “older”. This is where Forged Training starts, focusing on tendon specific strengthening—a key factor for building resilience—through a 3-month virtual program designed to support your recovery. Tendons typically need at least 12-14 weeks of targeted training to adapt and strengthen, and with nutritional guidance to aid recovery and manage inflammation, you’ll have the tools to work toward a stronger body. If you’re ready to pursue true resilience—not just a quick fix—this program offers personalized coaching and custom programming to guide you on that journey, helping you strive for a body that’s ready to tackle life’s challenges.
