FIT Therapeutics — Where Our Patients Go for the Work That Keeps Them Healthy for Life.
This is not traditional physical therapy. FIT Therapeutics is the next-level fascial care, pain management, sports performance, wellness, and resistance training clinic that completes the care plan we begin at The Fascia Institute. Every patient leaves here better off going there — even if it is just for a single check-in or reset.

The Fascia Institute diagnoses the structural problem and performs the medical work — diagnostic ultrasound, Hydrofascia Release™, regenerative injection care, and the protocols Dr. Courseault has built around fascial pathology. FIT Therapeutics is where the tissue is then loaded back into shape — and where the modality and manual work that consolidates change actually happens.
The two clinics are partners by design. Same medical direction. Same patient. Same standard. A patient who has just had a procedure at The Fascia Institute will heal faster, hold the result longer, and return to full activity sooner when they walk through the door at FIT in the days that follow. A patient who has not had a procedure — but who is managing chronic pain, sports performance demands, or hypermobility — frequently does just as well with FIT alone.
This page exists for one reason: if you are a Fascia Institute patient, you should know what is available across the partnership. Even a single check-in or “reset” session at FIT is, for many of our patients, the difference between a treatment that lasts and a treatment that fades.
01 · Why Even a Single Visit Matters
This is not traditional physical therapy.
FIT Therapeutics is not a list of exercises and a hot pack at the end. It is fascia-trained clinicians, clinical-grade modalities most clinics in the region do not have, and a one-on-one model of care designed around the kind of structural change that holds. Even one well-timed session can reset a pattern that has been compensating for months.
02 · The Clinicians
Fascia-trained experts — not generalists.
FIT Therapeutics is led by Andrew Bergeron, DPT and Chappell Evans, ATC under the medical direction of Dr. Jacques Courseault. They are nationally regarded specialists in fascia, hypermobility, and sports medicine — the rare clinicians who can read tissue with their hands and integrate the modality stack that the case actually needs. You will never work with a tech. Every session is one-on-one with the clinician who diagnosed your case.
03 · The Equipment & The Evidence
Clinical-grade tools — and the published science behind each one.
Every modality on the FIT floor earns its keep in the peer-reviewed literature. The cards below pair what we do with the studies that explain why it works. Each external link goes directly to PubMed — the National Library of Medicine’s index of clinical research.
04 · Who Benefits
The patients who walk out saying it changed their life.
If you fall into any of the categories below, a visit to FIT — whether as part of an active care plan or a single check-in — is genuinely worth your time.
Recovery & Pain Management
Post-procedure, post-op, and chronic pain.
After Hydrofascia Release™, prolotherapy, or PRP at The Fascia Institute. After ACL, meniscus, labrum, rotator cuff. Chronic low back, plantar fasciitis, Achilles, tendinopathies that have failed conventional rehab.
Sports Performance
Athletes & return-to-sport.
Professional, NCAA, and high-school athletes. The marathoner training for CCC. The cyclist with a chronic Achilles. Heavy slow resistance, eccentric overload, velocity-based work on OxeFit, AlterG-protected return — the loading principles pro sports rehab actually uses.
Wellness & Longevity
The check-in that keeps you healthy for life.
Periodic resets for the active patient who wants to stay ahead of compensation. Hypermobility / EDS management. Resistance training under fascia-trained supervision. The maintenance work that keeps tissue resilient across decades — not just episodic care.
05 · Always Advancing
We change as the evidence changes.
The fascia field has moved faster in the last decade than at any time in its history. Imaging that visualizes fascial layers. RCTs that put manual and modality techniques to the test. Mechanistic work on radiofrequency, photobiomodulation, and shockwave that finally explains why the techniques work clinically. We track that literature constantly — and the protocols we offer at FIT update as the evidence does. The clinic is built on a single discipline: do what the science actually supports, integrate it skillfully, and stop doing the things the literature has moved past.
Schedule at FIT Therapeutics
The next step in your care lives one block off the streetcar.
Whether you are coming out of a procedure at The Fascia Institute, managing chronic pain, training for a sport, or simply trying to stay ahead of the compensations a busy life keeps adding — FIT Therapeutics is the room where the next change happens. Direct access. No referral. Often same-day.
