How we work

Reset · Restore · Reload

Three phases. Built for rowers. Used for every client.

01

Reset

Get out of pain. Address the source, not just the symptom — so you stop coming back to it.

02

Restore

Rebuild the base — control, technique, capacity. The foundation for everything you do next in the boat.

03

Reload

Add load. Add speed. Achieve the goal — whether that's a personal record, a podium, or your first 2K under target.

"I injured my shoulder when I flipped a single last year. Adrien has worked with me to restore range of motion, and to strengthen muscles so I won't be so susceptible in the future. It is wonderful to work with a PT who understands rowing! I have referred several friends to her with non-rowing issues and they are also raving about her. She is curious, thoughtful, and great fun to work with. I actually look forward to PT!"

"Adrien created an offseason training program that addressed my concerns and complimented my daughter's rowing goals — helped her maintain her cardio level, with exercises to strengthen and protect her muscles. With Adrien's expertise, my daughter has continued to PR on 2k and 5k erg tests. She loves how nice and personable Adrien is, and how genuinely interested she is in her progress."

"I went to Adrien for physical therapy after a muscle tear. Not only did she help me rehab my injury, but worked with me to improve my running and overall physical strength. Adrien listens and spends time with you, looking at the body as a whole in addition to the injury, helping you reach your goals (and beyond). Thank you Adrien!"

"I highly recommend Adrien Reidy's Rowing on the Square training program. The in-person classes lead by Adrien provide the type of knowledge-based strategies that can take you to the next level of rowing. The CrewLab app has provided additional support, workouts, and accountability to keep the team moving forward. Will repeat next session."

"Adrien is amazing! Her understanding of rowing and the body quickly helped resolve things for my daughter and got her back in a boat in no time without pain. We are so grateful to have found her to navigate the stress of Division I rowing and all it brings to the body. Highly recommend her for any physical concerns!"

"Adrien's space is beautiful, clean, and you can row while looking at trees out the large windows. Makes winter training more tolerable! Signing up for classes was super easy through her website — she's super knowledgeable and has created a wonderful space."
