You’ve tried stretching, foam rolling, and generic PT exercises. Still limping to the gym everyday for practice?
It’s not your fault. You’ve been handed temporary fixes.
Systems Approach
Most pain programs isolate the joint in pain. We don’t do that.
We rebuild your system from the ground up—feet, glutes, deep core, and spinal alignment—so the knee is no longer overworked and overstressed.
Restore Muscle Balance
Your body can’t function under load—or move pain-free—if it’s built on dysfunction.
We reset your posture through fascia release, breath control, and integrated core activation so your joints finally move like they’re supposed to.
Functional Movement
We don't just fix your pain—we build you back to perform.
Our system integrates strength, breath, and movement patterns that are transferable to real-life demand: jumping, landing, cutting, squatting, and walking.

From College to Pro, our Pain-Free Performance System has helped 100's of athletes escape chronic pain, restore athleticism and continue to realize their hoop dreams.
Jerome Robinson
Pro; France
"DCliff really helped me focus on the full body connection. This allowed me to let go of my aches and pains from previous injuries, and work through the knots in my body. It made me feel young again."
Travante Williams
Pro; Romania
"When I was down and out I reached out to Cliff - after learning a fraction of what he knows. I felt more secure in being a better athlete . It’s the small things that make up recovery - the results come when you work!"
C.J. Happy
College; Princeton
"The DCliff method had me back on the court feeling lighter than ever. His program activates muscles that get lost through traditional strength training and his workouts helped me rebuild my foundation after surgery."
Phase 1: Relax and Reset
The perfect foundation for the Phase 2 rebuild.
Self myofascial release to address muscle imbalances
Breath work for your nervous system response
Postural reconstruction
Phase 2: Rebuild Foundation
Rebuilding the feet, glutes and core.
Addressing weaknesses in the kinetic chain
Integrating lines of tension throughout your whole body.
Strengthening and restoring function to your posterior chain.
Phase 3: Restore Movement
Recalibrating your movement literacy.
Getting the body to move as a system again
Developing the sling systems
Plyometric and ballistic movements for nervous system and fast twitch muscle fibers.

Your body is one system. We manipulate lines of tension to get better muscle usage, and to free up blood and energy flow.
We find better alignment in stationary postures and in movement for better muscle contractions - which means less stress on joints.
Resetting the nervous system; understanding that all rehab and performance is psychosomatic, and there's ways to enhance how we handle stress.
Relearning how to move again, in a way that translates to the court. Before adding strength and power, movement literacy is a must.
Our Features; Your Pain-Free Results
Breath work
We teach different methods of breath work for each stage of our process - recovery, alignment and power.
SMR
Self Myofascial Release (SMR) is one of the most powerful tools you can use to start your rehab journey. This is foam rolling on steroids.
Posture
Finding better alignment puts less stress on your joints. First, we assess your pelvic tilt, then we look at how we can improve muscle contractions in different shapes and movements.
Corrective Exercises
Our Core 4, building from the ground up. Feet, glutes, core and rib cage. Building these areas, which are hugely neglected, often yields the quickest and best results.
Tissue Loading
In Phase 2, once we have established a good baseline pain tolerance, we start loading the tissues with Isometrics, and then progress into Eccentrics.
Plyometrics
The last step is plyos! This helps synchronize the brain with fast twitch muscles and rewire it to trust your body again!
Innovation
Fresh, creative solutions.
Integrity
Honesty and transparency.
Excellence
