Optima Muscle
is launching in Austin, Texas.
Monday Nov 17 – Friday Dec 5.
We’re launching city by city, bringing our world-class MRI-driven muscle analysis program directly to athletes and high performers across the country.
Austin is first and is limited to just 15 athletes and because this is our flagship launch, Austin “Founding 15” clients who sign up by Fri Dec 5th will receive a credit of $1000 toward a future bi-annual Optima Muscle MRI and report.
If you’re not in Austin, don’t worry, we have limited remote capacity in other major cities (like New York, Dallas, and Los Angeles). Choose a city below and schedule a call for availability.”

Musculoskeletal asymmetries and imbalances are some of the leading causes of poor performance and unnecessary injury.
Our new full body MRI-based muscle scans use an AI-powered analysis, layered on top of the world’s largest muscle health database, to tell you with unmatched precision exactly where you have asymmetries. Only once you find them can you fix them, resulting in improved performance and reduced injury potential.
Using innovative imaging techniques we create a data-rich, anatomically precise digital twin, which is converted into a 360°, fully interactive 3D model, providing you with unprecedented insights into your complete musculoskeletal system to identify asymmetries and imbalances that would otherwise go undetected. We can now find them, quantify them and fix them better than ever.
If you want to get to the next level, this is how you will break through.
You Need Better Data
Traditional methods (DEXA, strength tests, subjective assessments) can’t reveal what’s really happening inside your individual muscles.
The level of precision in Optima Muscle is beyond anything you’ve done before. If your left tricep is 11.2% bigger than your right tricep, we will be able to detect it and fix it (before you tear your pec off the bone…). This is because a major asymmetry in muscle size, strength and/or range of motion will cause you to compensate over and over again both limiting peak performance and eventually causing injury.
The most intelligent approach is to stop the injury before it starts all while improving performance. Not fixing a hidden imbalance will limit performance, increase injury risk and, in the end, waste years of time and effort. To find and fix the problems you can’t see you need BETTER DATA…
Why Fixing Muscle Asymmetries Matters
Balanced Muscle = Stronger, Safer, Longer Performance
Correcting discrepancies in muscle size and strength reduces injury risk by eliminating weak links that joints and connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, etc.) compensate for.
Establishing optimal ratios between opposing muscle groups (quads vs. hamstrings, chest vs. back, left vs. right) ensures balanced force output and resilient joints and muscles.
Improved movement efficiency leads to better performance in sports and daily life; often with fewer aches and pains.
Increasing muscle symmetry enhances both performance and appearance.
Optima Muscle identifies your weak links and designs precise strategies to correct them so you perform, move, feel, and look your best.

The Process: How it Works
STEP 1
Kick Off Call:
Meet the team, discuss your goals and needs as well as schedule your scan.
STEP 2
Data:
MRI captures 140+ individual muscles for size and symmetry as well as fat infiltration, long bone length, muscle mass percentage, body fat percentage and more. Thorough evaluation of movements and compensation patterns with an expert Doctor of Physical Therapy. Comprehensive strength and performance assessment to check for relative and absolute weaknesses with expert Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
STEP 3
Analysis:
Human movement experts review your full musculoskeletal system for asymmetries, imbalances and other risk factors that may limit performance.
STEP 4
3D Report:
Interactive digital twin (3D model) of your body with detailed insights.
STEP 5
Plan:
Personalized training and recovery strategies based on your unique data. Our team of physical therapists, exercise physiologists and strength and conditioning specialists will educate you on: what we found, what it means, what to do and how to do it to take your performance to the next level.

FREE BONUS:
For the first time ever, you know your "Muscle Mass Percentage"
You likely know your Body Fat Percentage but you DO NOT know your Muscle Mass Percentage.
You don't know because it's never been available... until just a few months ago!
Healthy, athletic men should be above 40%.
Healthy athletic women should be above 35%.
This is critical for:
- Peak physical performance
- Healthy aging
- Minimizing metabolic diseases and dysfunction
- Staying injury-free
- Sustaining high levels of health, energy, and vitality
Curious to know your muscle mass percentage?
How about your muscle:fat ratio?
Your muscle:fat ration should be at least:- 3:1 for high performing men
- 2:1 for high performing women
Tracking Total Muscle Mass and Muscle Mass Percentage over time is critical for maintaining peak performance and optimizing health and strength span as you age.
These calculations are included as a FREE BONUS for all Optima Muscle athletes!
FAQ
Unlike DEXA or InBody that only measure body fat percentage, we use MRI data to build a 3D view of individual muscles measuring actual muscle volume, density, and symmetry for unparalleled accuracy.
Depends on your schedule and how quickly you can get in to get scanned. Once scanned we’ll get the MRI the data back in 7-10 during which time we’ll be working together collecting additional data on movement and performance. You’ll get your full report within two weeks of your scan.
You meet with our team to review and to ensure you understand how to implement. You’ll have Slack and Zoom access to your coach for the first two weeks to ensure you have quick answers as questions arise. We also offer monthly coaching options if you do not already have a team behind you and you’re interested in a higher level of ongoing support.
Yes. MRI is non-invasive and radiation-free. All scans and reports are handled with full HIPAA compliance for data security and privacy.
Depends on the severity of the issue discovered. Between 6-12 months is Improved strength ratios, reduced injury risk, better performance metrics, and measurable gains in symmetry, power, and recovery. We recommend getting re-scanned twice per year to track progress. <
Absolutely. We’ll write a full training program for you. Your existing team is welcome to make adjustments and modify how they see fit.
