For athletes, parents of youth players, and coaches who can’t afford lost seasons or cookie‑cutter rehab, here’s the real talk: picking the “right” healthcare provider feels confusing, slow, and expensive—mixed messages, long waits, zero sport context. And you’re stuck Googling while preseason (or combine season) is already here. Jump High Now bridges the performance–medical gap—coordinating with your clinician, layering in vertical jump specialization, plyometric programming, and strength & conditioning cycles—so your care plan actually matches your sport. Not pushy, just practical support that keeps you moving.
1) How do I verify credentials and sport experience?
Check licensure (state board), board certifications, and years treating athletes in your sport—soccer hamstrings aren’t the same as volleyball knees. Ask, “How many athletes like me have you treated in the last 12 months?” You want specific numbers. If this feels awkward, Jump High Now can prep your question list so you get clear answers fast.
2) Do they perform a thorough movement assessment (with video)?
Ask about movement screens, return-to-play testing, and Remote coaching with video analysis. Why? Because seeing your mechanics—landings, cuts, accelerations—beats guessing. Providers who welcome video clips (or record in-session) spot issues sooner. Jump High Now shares slow‑mo clips and timestamps with your provider so everyone’s on the same page.
3) Can they integrate training with care—strength & conditioning cycles included?
Real progress needs periodization. Confirm they’ll coordinate Strength & conditioning cycles with your rehab timeline. No random workouts. You want clear loading progressions, rest blocks, and testing milestones. Jump High Now can build the mesocycle while your clinician manages symptoms—zero turf wars, just aligned execution.
4) Do they offer sport-specific speed work and plyometric programming?
Look for Sport-specific speed work that mirrors your game demands and evidence-based Plyometric programming (contacts per session, landing mechanics, volume caps). This isn’t just “do some box jumps.” Jump High Now designs progressions—acceleration, max‑V, COD—that your provider can approve so the plan stays safe and effective.
5) What about vertical jump specialization—do you actually need it?
If you play volleyball or basketball, yes, probably. Ask how they’ll address rate of force development, tendon capacity, and landing asymmetries. Expect measurable goals (e.g., +3.0 inches in 10 weeks). Jump High Now tracks each variable—so your provider sees data, not hype.
6) Will they implement injury risk reduction protocols?
You’re looking for structured Injury risk reduction protocols: Nordic hamstrings, Copenhagen planks, hop-test thresholds, and exposure management. Ask for their screening cadence (every 4–6 weeks? ideally 4) and how results change training. JHN fits these into weekly plans—no extra fluff, just the essentials.
7) Do they support athlete nutrition planning?
Fuel dictates recovery speed. Ask if they provide Athlete nutrition planning or collaborate with a sports RD—protein targets, iron/ferritin checks, hydration, and travel strategies. Jump High Now can sync menus and lift loads, so your macros match your training day—simple, but wildly effective.
8) How transparent are costs, insurance, and scheduling?
Request CPT codes, cash rates, and typical visit counts before you start. Ask about message response times (under 24–48 hours is solid) and next-available slots. No surprise bills. If this turns into chaos, Jump High Now helps map the schedule and coordinate provider touchpoints so you don’t miss a beat.
9) What questions should I ask at the first visit?
Try these: “What’s my phased plan for 4, 8, and 12 weeks?” “What metrics prove I’m improving?” “What would derail progress?” “How will you and my coach communicate?” If answers feel vague, that’s a red flag. JHN sets shared dashboards—so progress is visible, not vibes.
