Prehab
Identify the vulnerabilities in your movement before they become injuries. Stay ahead of the problem.
How prehab works at INVICTUS
Prehab is the most underused tool in sport. Most athletes only see a clinician when something goes wrong. Prehab flips that: it is about finding the cracks before they become fractures.
A thorough movement screen identifies asymmetries, mobility restrictions, loading deficits, and mechanical compensations, potential vulnerabilities that, left unaddressed, may contribute to injury over time. In most cases, identifying these early is far less costly (in time, training disruption, and recovery) than treating them once they've become injuries.
Prehab at INVICTUS is not a generic screening program. It is built on Rudy's ability to combine chiropractic assessment with personal training and strength and conditioning knowledge, giving you a clinical picture that a coach alone or a clinician alone simply cannot provide.
It is an investment in longevity. The athletes who stay healthiest are rarely the most talented. They are the ones who manage their bodies most intelligently.

Prehab: FAQ
Any athlete or active individual who wants to reduce their injury risk and extend their career. Particularly valuable before a new season, training block, or event.
A warm-up prepares you for a single session. Prehab is a structured program that builds the capacities (mobility, stability, strength) that help reduce injury risk and support consistent training across a season.
Yes, with appropriate modifications. Prehab and rehabilitation often overlap. Rudy will assess what is appropriate for your current state and build accordingly.
Frequency depends on your goals and training load. Many athletes begin with fortnightly sessions to establish the program, then move to monthly monitoring once movement quality improves.
Your initial consultation
Your first appointment is 45 minutes.
We start with your history: what’s happening, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and what you’re working towards.
From there, Rudy moves into a physical and orthopaedic examination to identify what’s driving the issue and what’s contributing to it.
Where appropriate, initial treatment follows, and you leave with a clear plan for next steps.
