What Is USA Track & Field Masters and How Do Athletes Continue Competing After Age 35?

USA Track & Field Masters is a competitive division designed for athletes aged 35 and older. These athletes are not “slowing down”—many are training, competing, and performing at remarkably high levels.

However, competing at this stage of life requires a different approach to training and recovery.

At Kickstart Physical Therapy, our goal is to empower you to function at your very best. Isn’t it time for you to Kickstart your health journey?

How Physical Therapy and Personal Training Improve Track and Field Performance

This is where individualized physical therapy becomes essential.

At Kickstart Physical Therapy, the focus is not just on treating injuries, but on:

  • Identifying movement inefficiencies
  • Improving strength and mobility
  • Preventing injuries before they occur
  • Supporting performance goals

Why Physical Therapy Is Essential for Performance Training (Not Just Injury Recovery)

One of the biggest misconceptions is that physical therapy is only for when you’re injured.

It allows athletes to:

  • Maintain optimal biomechanics
  • Recover more effectively between sessions
  • Continue progressing without setbacks

  • Stay strong
  • Move well
