What Care Looks Like
Nobody should start care without seeing the shape of it.
Every plan below is what care typically looks like for a single primary complaint — your actual plan is built from your examination, your history, and what your muscles tell us on day one. (Bringing more than one thing? Many people do — see the note near the bottom.) You deserve to see the pattern before you ever book: how many visits, how far apart, what happens at each one, and — most importantly — what “done” looks like. We measure before and after, every visit. And we don’t book visits your body doesn’t need.
An acute injury — turned an ankle, tweaked a back, this week
- Visit 1 — within about 72 hours
- Safety screen first, always. Then we measure what your muscles are actually doing — the baseline everything else gets compared against. You leave knowing what's switched off, what to protect (briefly — rarely more than 3 days), and your first home activations: three things, about five minutes a day.
- Visit 2 — a few days later
- Protection ends, loading begins. Re-test, progress your card.
- Visits 3–5 — weekly
- Re-test, progress, and at each visit a decision: on track, adjust the plan, or you're done early.
- Around week 4 — the handoff
- Most acute plans complete here: you graduate to an 8-week home program that finishes the job.
Typically about 5 visits for a single recent injury. If something isn't responding by the second week, we change the plan — we don't just add appointments.
The stubborn problem — “I've tried everything”
For the pain that's been there months or years, that's outlasted other care, that imaging couldn't explain. This is most of our practice.
- The comprehensive first visit (60 min)
- The full picture: hundreds of specific muscle and joint checks, your history, and a written plan with your graduation criteria — what “done” will actually look like, defined before we start.
- The Restoration arc — typically 9–12 visits over 8–10 weeks
- Weekly as the default. For long-standing or multi-region cases we may offer a front-loaded start — twice a week for the first two weeks — because the total amount of work matters more than stretching it thin. Your call, openly discussed, with the reasoning.
- Integration — visits space out
- Two to four visits as your system holds its gains under more load.
- Graduation
- The re-test against your day-one baseline. Plan closed — on purpose, with the numbers in front of you.
A defined finish line, checked every visit. You graduate — you don't subscribe.
After surgery, or the complex case
For post-surgical recovery support, multi-system cases, and the “everyone says it looks normal but it isn't right” situations other providers send us.
- Records first
- We review what's been done before you're on the table — your surgical and medical team stays lead on medical management; our lane is how your muscles and movement are recovering around it.
- Extended Visits (60 min with Dr. Luke)
- Longer visits, more regions, methodical measurement of what's inhibited and what's compensating.
- The arc is individual
- Complexity sets the pace, and we tell you honestly at each re-test where things stand. Same rule as every plan: measured before and after, every visit, with graduation criteria in writing.
The athlete — performance, not just pain
You don't have to be injured to be running at 80%. Muscles that test weak under load steal from every rep and stride.
- Baseline visit
- Sport-relevant testing — what fires, what doesn't, what's compensating.
- A short focused arc — often 3–5 visits
- Re-tested against load each time; the standard is performance under YOUR sport's demands, not comfort on a table.
- In-season tune-ups
- Brief, targeted, scheduled around your calendar.
The standard we inherit from the sports world: test it before you leave — under real load, not just lying down.
Active after 55 — keep the pickleball, the grandkids, the garden
Shoulders, knees, hips, and feet that have carried decades deserve specific attention — not a generic stretch sheet.
- The comprehensive first visit
- Paced for you, covering the regions that limit what you love doing.
- A gentle-by-design arc — typically weekly
- With home activations that are three simple things a day, sized to your starting point.
- The goal is capability
- Measured grip, balance, stepping, reaching — the numbers that decide whether you keep your activities. We test them, work on them, and re-test them.
From out of town — the compressed visit block
People travel to Georgetown for this work. Two honest rules before anyone books a trip: first, a complimentary 15-minute phone call with Dr. Luke — a conversation about fit plus a review of the records you send ahead, at no charge and with no obligation to book. Second, day one is a standard first visit with a mutual go/no-go before the block is scheduled.
- The block itself
- About three visits a week, 24–48 hours apart — the spacing the work needs, not the travel calendar. Two to three weeks ≈ evaluation + 8 returns + a graduation re-test, with a written home plan and an optional remote check-in after you're home.
Straight published pricing, summed. The value is the structure and access — not a markup, not a discount.
Staying tuned — after graduation
- One 40-minute reboot per quarter, auto-scheduled when you graduate
- Like the dentist, for your movement: re-test the regions we restored, catch small compensations before they become patterns, update your home activations. Most graduates keep this and nothing else.
🧩 Coming in with more than one thing? Most people are.
The journeys above each describe one primary complaint — but bodies rarely file things one at a time, and a shoulder that’s been compensating for a hip is often part of the same story. Here’s how that works honestly:
- Complaints share visits. We work what your body presents each visit, so two complaints don’t simply mean double the visits — but they do mean more total work than one.
- Each complaint gets its own finish line. Your written plan from day one lists every region we’re addressing, each with its own graduation criteria and its own re-test. You’ll always know what’s done, what’s in progress, and what’s next.
- The counts above are the shape, not your quote. Your real number comes from your examination — in writing, before your plan starts, never as a surprise later.
Every plan above ends the same way: a re-test against your own day-one numbers. That’s the promise we can make honestly — not how you’ll feel by a certain date, but that you’ll always know where you stand, and that the plan will always have a finish line.
Want to know which plan fits you? That's what the first visit answers.
