Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about our services and processes.
Our online coaching programs are designed to provide structure, accountability, and personalized guidance, just like in-person training. We utilize video demonstrations, detailed feedback, and regular check-ins to ensure you're performing exercises correctly and progressing towards your goals. Many of our clients achieve outstanding results through our online programs. Plus, you save time by not having to drive to a clinic, and PTO without having to take a ton of time off to get to your appointments.
Our programs are designed to be adaptable to your available resources. While standard gym equipment is beneficial, we can modify exercises to utilize minimal equipment and provide effective workouts regardless of your gym access.
Investing in your health and fitness is an investment in your ability to pursue your passion for hunting. Our programs are designed to provide long-term value by improving your performance, preventing injuries, and extending your time in the wilderness. We offer various plans to fit different budgets, and the personalized guidance and support can significantly accelerate your progress compared to training on your own.
Safety is our top priority. Our coaches are rehab professionals who are experts in movement modification. We'll assess your abilities, address any prior injuries or limitations, and tailor exercises to your specific needs. We also emphasize proper form and technique before loading up with weight to minimize the risk of injury.
We understand hunting and working out is usually not our clients’ full time gigs. Our programs are designed to be flexible and adaptable to your lifestyle. We'll work with you to create a plan that fits your available time and helps you achieve your goals efficiently.
There is not a single company in the hunting industry doing what WiFI Physio is doing. The goal is for you to be taking the reins of your own health and program development. The programs you’ve encountered didn’t give you the tools to be successful on your own, year after year. We're not just about handing out workouts; we're about preparing you for a lifetime of hunting adventures with friends and family.
We offer a free consultation to discuss your goals, experience level, and preferences. We'll help you determine which program aligns best with your needs and provide personalized recommendations. The worst to come out of the call, you have clarity as to why your fitness goals haven’t been met. The best thing to come out of the call, clarity of what you need to do, and a roadmap to get it done. To get started, take our readiness. quiz
This starts with you, and your “why.” If your why isn’t deep enough, you’ll continue to waver in and out of exercise routines. We can “motivate” until we’re purple in the face, it won’t do a bit of good if your “why” isn’t there. We provide the ongoing support, encouragement, and accountability. Regular check-ins with your coach, access to our community forum, and personalized feedback all contribute to helping you stay committed and on track.
Absolutely not! We're committed to providing you with comprehensive support throughout your journey. You'll have access to your coach for questions, guidance, and feedback. We also offer community forums and resources to ensure you have the tools and support you need to succeed.
While we offer different tiers of service, even our most accessible plan ("Spike Camp") provides modules for cardio/strength, movement, recovery enhancement, and injury prevention. Higher tiers provide direct access to one-on-one coaching and custom movement and workout feedback.
While we cannot guarantee specific results (as individual effort plays a significant role), we are confident that our programs, when followed consistently, will lead to significant improvements in your fitness and hunting performance. We encourage open communication with your coach, and we'll work with you to adjust your plan as needed to optimize your progress.
Yes! If you're not ready to jump into a full coaching program, you can explore our individual courses to gain valuable knowledge and skills in specific areas like injury prevention or backcountry fitness. The Spike Camp Membership is a great way to experience our approach, learn the platform, and see the value we provide before making a larger commitment.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Odie F.
"Rob is amazing! He listened to my concerns and challenged me with my recovery, which was helpful! I didn’t feel like just another patient. Not every day you go to physical therapy and are asked how your family is doing! Rob is legit!”
Will M.
“Wilderness PT is the real deal. I could draw my bow back, but had a lot of discomfort on the right side of my neck. He went through the exact exercises/stretching I needed to do. I'm still doing these exercises, but I am entirely pain free.”
Crystal F.
"Rob did such an amazing job helping my husband after having bilateral knee replacements. My husband was NOT looking forward to PT, but he liked going once he met Rob. Thanks for helping to get him up and going again for hunting and fishing season!”
Justin B.
"Dr. Rob will you get back on the mountain in no time with his program. Easy to follow exercises and great one on one experience."
Nicole D.
"Dr Rob with Wilderness Physical Therapy has been amazing to work with! While preparing for hunting season, I tried a couple of his programs and am amazed by the results I’ve seen so far. Highly recommend Dr Rob and any of his services!"
Melissa Herek
"I recently completed the Wilderness Fitness Program, and I can't recommend it enough! Rob provided exceptional personalized coaching that not only focused on movement but also taught me how to structure my workouts effectively.
Over the 12 weeks, I saw significant improvements in my physical health and the benefits and knowledge I gained will help me moving forward. What I appreciated most was the holistic approach—Rob also addressed critical performance factors like nutrition and sleep, which have truly optimized my overall health and fitness.
This program has empowered me to take charge of my wellness long-term. Whether I’m hunting, hiking or working out, I am healthier and stronger than I ever have been(25# lighter as well!).
Rob, thank you for your guidance and support on this journey!
If you're looking to enhance your physical performance and overall well-being, this is the program for you!"
Chase R.
“I started working with Dr. Rob in January of 2020. I was not a runner by any means. He asked what equipment I had, the time I had, and all the places I could possibly workout. As a UPS driver with a wife and 2 kids, I had very limited time. In the 8 or 9 months of training, I stayed completely injury free.”
Chris F.
"Rob is a great physical therapist and got me in shape for my sheep hunt in September! I had horrible knees and he got me to 100% in no time!"
Klint R.
"Wilderness Physical Therapy was a terrific experience. I talked with Rob about an issue I was having with my shoulder. After pointing out the area, he introduced me to accutubing. I began using the tubing as he directed and after just a few days, I was already experiencing relief from the shoulder pain."
Audrey P.
"Rob's passion for fitness, as well as, the outdoors is undeniable. I've been using his exercise methods to help alleviate my knee pain, and now my hip pain. I've saved a lot of money by not having to take pain meds anymore; and I have been able to run the hills during turkey season, shed hunting, and deer season."
Stan A.
"It's been lots of years since my lower back and hips didn't hurt. Met Rob at an archery shoot in Durango and tried his 15 minute free session. After that, I signed up and he built me a program. After a few weeks, I can definitely say I feel so much better. No more daily constant pain. He does amazing work."
Chris B.
“During a pick-up game of basketball, I rolled my ankle. I had an Arizona late season elk hunt in less than two weeks. Instead of going to the ER, I called Rob that evening. We talked about what may be wrong, and what I needed to do to heal up enough to be able to handle a backpack mountain hunt. We talked about exercises to help heal and strengthen the ankle as much as possible, as well as, good brace options. Thank you Wilderness Physical Therapy for helping me make the most of this long awaited trip.”
Bryan C.
“This past season I injured my shoulder while letting my bow down. I worked on it some (being a PTA I thought I knew just what to do). At the first shoot of the season, it festered and became inflamed. At that shoot, I met Rob with Wilderness Physical Therapy! He quickly diagnosed the issue and provided me with the AccuTubing. I’m happy to report, after a few weeks of diligent work, I’m back to shooting completely pain free!”
Connor E.
"I met Rob at a MAF event where I was really struggling with a knee injury. I work with a federal agency doing wildland fire; having a knee injury, particularly in the summer, is the worst possible scenario. After just a couple weeks of working with Rob, my knee was feeling better. Just 8 weeks later, I am better than I was pre-injury. Runs, hikes, and work all feel great. To anyone on the fence about telehealth and working with Wilderness PT, check it out and trust the system. You’ll be good to go for work or play.”
David P.
“I was having back issues for quite a while. I could not seem to alleviate the pain despite seeing a PT in the clinic. I talked to Rob, he gave me some exercises over the phone to do; plus some video tapes of how to execute the exercises. Within a few days pain started going away, and within a week to two weeks, the pain was gone altogether. Without him, I’m not sure I could’ve went on my last big hunt.”
Adam D.
“Rob is awesome at what he does and his tubing workouts are great. His video and instructions are super easy to follow along with!”
Mel E.
“I absolutely love the approach to maintaining proper health and strength, to both prevent and heal injuries in the outdoor industry. Wilderness Physical Therapy does a phenomenal job at targeting activity specific needs.”
