Build your Body’s Resilience.
Whether you’re dealing with longstanding aches and pains, a recent ankle sprain, dizziness or vertigo, a concussion, or recovering from surgery — whatever brings you here, our goal is to help you return to what matters most. At Flexed Mettle, Eric and Katie work closely together to design an evidence‑based, individualized plan of care that aligns with your goals.
What does evidence‑based mean? It reflects the integration of three key components:
Current research — what the latest scientific evidence recommends.
Patient preferences — what you want your therapy to look and feel like.
Clinical expertise — the skill and judgment of your provider. Eric is a board‑certified orthopedic physical therapist with advanced vestibular training through the American Institute of Balance.
With Flexed Mettle’s vision and philosophy guiding your care, we are confident in our ability to help redefine what physical therapy can look like for you.
Let’s begin this journey together and create a plan built specifically for YOU.

Tour-Level Biomechanics & Performance Training—Delivered to Your Door.
The Mission At its core, Flexed Mettle is an elite physical therapy and performance clinic. Led by Eric Norman—an Orthopedic Board-Certified Specialist, Strength & Conditioning Coach, and avid golfer—FMG bridges the gap between swing mechanics and physical capacity. We bring high-level golf lesson analysis and strength training directly to you in an affordable, highly effective, and streamlined package.
How FMG Works
The 1-on-1 Intake: You speak directly with Eric to review your injury history, swing struggles, and performance goals.
Video & Data Synthesis: You submit your swing videos. We leverage AI to cross-reference your swing markers against vast biomechanical research databases in seconds.
The Clinical Audit: Eric personally validates the data, filters out the noise, and maps your swing faults back to physical mobility and strength limitations.
Custom Programming & Support: You receive a tailored 1-month strength, mobility, and swing-drill program delivered via email, backed by direct asynchronous communication with Eric whenever you need guidance.
Why FMG vs. Doing It Yourself with AI? Anyone can paste a video into AI, but data without clinical context leads to injury or lost speed. Here is why working with FMG makes the difference:
Expert Translation: Biomechanical data can be dense and misleading. As a movement specialist with years of physical therapy, strength coaching, and golf experience, Eric filters the data down to what actually matters for your body.
Fact-Checked Clinical Rigor: AI is only as good as its prompt, and it can hallucinate bad advice. As a board-certified specialist, Eric critically audits every piece of research and AI-generated analysis to ensure your program is safe, evidence-based, and built specifically for your body.
