our promise to you
To leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of better health. You will have a smooth process to see a well-trained and prepared provider to work with you every step of the way.
we listen to you
This seems obvious, but in healthcare, personal attention isn’t the norm. We’re not the norm. We structure time to understand you and understand your condition. Your journey of how you got here is critical to our ability to coach you to the next steps. All of your sessions will be one-on-one with the physical therapist, not passed to support staff.
WE apply science
Science has given us many fundamental rules of healing and movement. It’s common sense to apply these principles to your treatment plan. But, as we know, common sense is not so common. In our case, we can guide you to best practices in your recovery.
we measure
You can’t start down a path if you don’t know where you are. Let’s get a baseline and set goals to see progress. We use experience and cutting-edge technology to determine where to start and how to develop a path to success.
we deliver a plan
This is what you came for. You deserve to know what is going on in your body and what actions you can take to change it.

California has officially recognized May as ACL Awareness Month.
And for good reason.
ACL injuries have more than doubled over the last two decades — especially in youth athletes — becoming one of the most common and devastating injuries in sports today.
But this is bigger than awareness.
Research consistently shows that evidence-based neuromuscular training programs can reduce ACL injury risk by 50–88%.
That means prevention is possible.
The challenge is implementation.
KIME Human Performance Institute (KIME HPI) is a nonprofit organization built to help solve this exact problem — providing teams, athletes, and communities with access to performance testing, movement analysis, injury prevention strategies, and evidence-informed training systems designed to reduce injury risk and improve long-term athlete health.
One of the ways we do this is through advanced return-to-sport testing using force plate technology — including Single Leg Countermovement Jump Power testing — helping us objectively measure asymmetries, power output, force production, and recovery progress following ACL injury and reconstruction.
Athletes receive a comprehensive ACL Return-to-Sport Report Card that can be shared directly with physicians, surgeons, physical therapists, coaches, and families — providing objective data to help determine readiness, confidence, and performance capacity before returning to play.
Our goal is not just to help athletes return.
It’s to help them return stronger, more prepared, and performing at a higher level than before injury.
Awareness matters.
Access and implementation change outcomes.
California is acknowledging the problem.
Our mission is to help create the solution.

This week, we’re proud to recognize Long Li as he completes his Premiere Sports Clinical Rotation at KIME and reflect on the impact he made during his time at our KIME + Ultimate Fitness performance facility in East Sacramento.
Currently completing his Doctor of Physical Therapy program at University of California, San Francisco, Long brought a strong background in sports rehabilitation, movement science, and performance-based care into the KIME environment.
Under the mentorship of Clinic Instructor & KIME Fellow Drew Reid, DPT, Long gained hands-on experience in the integration of rehabilitation, performance training, objective testing, and return-to-sport decision-making — a key part of what defines the KIME model.
Beyond direct patient care, Long also contributed alongside Drew and the research team at KIME Human Performance Institute, supporting injury prevention initiatives focused on youth athletes and long-term athletic development through KIME’s nonprofit research and human performance efforts.
The Premiere Sports Clinical Rotation is built to expose future clinicians to more than traditional outpatient physical therapy. It places students in an environment where sports medicine, performance, research, education, and leadership development all intersect.
Throughout his rotation, Long demonstrated curiosity, professionalism, initiative, and a genuine commitment to growth — qualities that made an impact on our team and reflected the kind of clinician he is becoming.
We’re grateful to have been part of Long’s development journey and excited for what’s ahead.
And with any luck… we may just see Long back at KIME after graduation.
Congratulations, Long — we’re excited for your future and the work still to come. Let’s go!
KIME Premiere Sports Clinical Rotation Spotlight: Matteo Del Mastro
As Matteo Del Mastro wraps up his Premiere Sports Clinical Rotation at KIME this week, we’re proud to recognize the impact he made during his time at our Sacramento clinic inside Sacramento Athletic Center.
Matteo is currently completing his Doctor of Physical Therapy program at University of California, San Francisco, where he has built a strong foundation in orthopedic rehabilitation, performance-based care, and strength & conditioning.
During his rotation, Matteo trained under Clinic Instructor & KIME Fellow Josef Mielke, gaining hands-on exposure to the integration of rehabilitation, objective testing, performance training, and return-to-performance principles that define the KIME model.
He also contributed to injury prevention efforts supporting tactical athletes and first responders — gaining experience in the unique physical demands and performance considerations of these populations.
Matteo brought a strong research mindset, coaching background, and commitment to continuous learning into every environment he entered. His passion for evidence-informed care and movement-based coaching aligned naturally with the culture and standards we strive to build at KIME.
The Premiere Sports Clinical Rotation is designed to expose future clinicians to more than traditional outpatient physical therapy — immersing them in an environment where sports medicine, performance, education, and leadership development intersect.
As Matteo prepares to continue his career in the Bay Area following graduation, we’re excited to watch his continued growth as a clinician and grateful for the time he spent with us at KIME.
The next generation of sports medicine clinicians is being developed differently.
