Force Labs Physical Therapy & Performance was created to address a gap that many active individuals experience during rehab: care that doesn’t fully reflect the physical demands of sport, training, or long-term performance.
In traditional outpatient physical therapy settings, high patient volumes, limited visit time, and insurance-driven constraints often shape how care is delivered. Progress may be assessed subjectively, and return-to-sport decisions are frequently guided by timelines rather than objective readiness. For runners, strength athletes, and individuals aiming to return to higher-level activity, this can leave important questions unanswered — Am I strong enough? Am I ready? What actually needs to improve?
At Force Labs, care is structured differently. Sessions are one-on-one and centered around objective assessment and progressive loading. Strength deficits are identified, progress is measured over time, and decisions are guided by data rather than guesswork. Tools such as dynamometry and performance-based assessments are used to better understand capacity, symmetry, and tolerance as rehab and training progress.
This model allows rehab to extend beyond symptom resolution and toward meaningful preparation for return to activity. Rather than treating diagnoses in isolation, care is guided by the specific demands of running, lifting, or sport — helping bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance.
Force Labs exists to provide clarity, structure, and individualized progression for people who want more from their rehab process and value informed decision-making throughout their recovery.
The philosophy behind Force Labs reflects how care is delivered day-to-day and the clinician guiding the process.
I’m Kevin Lucas, a physical therapist and strength coach with a strong interest in working with runners, strength athletes, and individuals returning to sport after ACL injury.
My background spans both traditional outpatient physical therapy and performance-based training environments. Over time, I became increasingly focused on how strength, loading, and objective measures influence long-term outcomes — especially for active people aiming to return to higher-level activity, not just “feel better.”
In my work, I prioritize clear assessment, progressive strength training, and education that helps people understand why they’re doing what they’re doing. I believe rehab works best when expectations are clear, progress is measurable, and decisions are guided by data rather than guesswork.
When you work with me, you can expect one-on-one care, honest communication, and a structured process designed to support confident, sustainable return to running, lifting, and sport.
