About ResolveX
ResolveX Performance Physiotherapy was built around a simple idea:
Rehabilitation should lead somewhere.
For active people, athletes, and patients with real physical demands, the goal is not simply to reduce pain. The goal is to restore function, rebuild capacity, and return to activity with confidence and structure.
That is the standard ResolveX is built around.
THE CLINIC PHILOSOPHY
A different physiotherapy model
ResolveX sits in the space between traditional rehabilitation and performance preparation.
That means the work is not limited to short-term symptom management. It includes proper assessment, targeted rehabilitation, structured loading, and progression back to the real-world demands placed on the body.
For some patients, that means returning to sport.
For others, it means returning to work.
For others, it means regaining the capacity to train, move, and live actively again.
The common thread is the same: return to meaningful function.
The Approach
- Objective assessment over assumption
- Structured progression over generic rehab
- Performance outcomes over symptom management
About Xan
Xan is a physiotherapist and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt.
Her clinical experience has been shaped through almost a decade of work in acute care, rehabilitation, and spinal management under Dr. Paul Licina at Backspace, where she is the lead clinician in the acute care clinic.
Her work includes:
· pre-operative preparation
· post-operative rehabilitation
· back and spinal care
· rehabilitation aimed at avoiding surgery where possible
· structured return to activity following surgery or injury
Alongside that clinical background, her experience as a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt gives her a direct understanding of the demands involved in combat sports, training load, return to performance, and the gap that often exists between ordinary rehab and real sporting function.
ResolveX is built at that intersection.
Physiotherapy X Jiu Jitsu - the ResolveX difference
A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt doesn’t just understand movement—
they understand how joints fail under pressure because Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is built on joint control, joint stress, and joint failure.
Most physiotherapists study joint mechanics.
A Jiu Jitsu black belt lives them—under resistance, in real time.
Every Jiu Jitsu class involves:
· End-range joint loading
· Rotational force under control
· Dynamic instability
· Immediate feedback if something is wrong
That creates a level of understanding you cannot get from:
· Running
· Field sports
· General gym training
Because at the end of the day:
· A knee under valgus stress is a knee under valgus stress
· A shoulder at end range is a shoulder at end range
The difference is:
Xan has seen those positions tested at the absolute edge.
Built on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Applied to everything.
You’re working with a physiotherapist who:
· Is a BJJ black belt and active competitor
· Understands joint mechanics under real pressure
· Has spent years operating at the edge of injury and control
· Brings that understanding into every rehab plan
From combat athletes to general population— the standard is the same: return to full function, not just reduced pain.
The Approach
· Objective assessment over assumption
· Structured progression over generic rehab
· Performance outcomes over symptom management
