About Us
Breaking Lines of Pressure is a female owned company based in Folsom, CA, that specializes in education and developing injury prevention curriculum for soccer clubs nationwide. Our mission is to address the ever rising rates of musculoskeletal related injuries in young soccer athletes that keep them side-lined.

Join us in breaking barriers and setting new standards in US Soccer.
Our Story
Our founders—a physician, a physical therapist, and an elite coach from one of the nation’s top-ranked soccer clubs—came together with a shared frustration. From the clinic to the training field, we saw the same pattern: players breaking down under the physical demands of the modern game. The injuries weren’t just accidents; they were predictable, preventable, and far too common.
That’s why we built Breaking Lines of Pressure—a proactive, science-backed injury prevention curriculum designed specifically for soccer clubs.
Our approach combines medical expertise, rehabilitation science, and elite coaching strategies to help clubs reduce injuries, optimize player performance, and build resilient athletes who can compete at the highest level. We don’t just teach recovery—we train players to move smarter, strengthen key areas, and build the durability they need to stay on the field.
Soccer is evolving—faster play, higher intensity, and greater demands on young athletes. But injury prevention has been slow to catch up. We’re here to change that.
At Breaking Lines of Pressure, we integrate injury prevention seamlessly into training sessions—not as an afterthought, but as a fundamental part of player development. Because in the end, the best ability is availability.
