Centers and Programs

From concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBI) to chronic conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and Alzheimer’s, these challenges can deeply impact daily life. We combine monitored exercise, clinical assessments, and carefully guided reintroduction of physical and cognitive activity to support recovery and improve quality of life. At the same time, we are developing innovative tools and protocols to better understand how the brain heals, define the safest pathways for recovery, and create strategies that help individuals regain independence.

As people age, there is an inevitable loss of skeletal muscle, resulting in the reduction of strength and power. Most adults reach their peak muscle mass around the age of 40, but without proper nutrition and exercise, people can lose up to 3-5 percent of their muscle mass after the age of 40. That's why countermeasures taken earlier in life can prevent disability later. Muscle Matters is a monitored resistance, metabolic conditioning exercise and nutritional program designed to decrease or reverse the muscle strength losses that arise in the course of aging.

Today, about two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese, and it's estimated that up to 50 percent of adults are insulin resistant. This program is a combined resistance, metabolic conditioning and nutritional program designed to improve insulin sensitivity, and decrease fat weight when needed.

Peak performance requires an athlete to possess elite levels strength, power, speed, agility, balance, and metabolic conditioning. Each sport is unique and the relative contribution depends on the demands of the position and game. Inadequacies in the physical requirements necessary for the sport could stunt performance or lead to injury.  HHPI provides comprehensive sport-specific testing batteries for soccer, football, baseball, softball, swimming, wrestling, among other sports that are age appropriate and state-of-the-art.     

Police officers, fire fighters, emergency personnel and other first responders play an essential role in society. Due to the rigorous and unpredictable nature of their job duties, they must maintain a constant state of physical readiness. Moreover, the stress of their jobs can negatively impact health, leading to early onset of chronic diseases. The Fit for Duty Program involves task specific testing, strength training and metabolic conditioning as well as health screening opportunities.
