Since 2006
The movement intelligence
behind the world's best athletes
We start every athlete from one assumption: their potential hasn't been reached. Twenty years of decoding elite athlete movement tells us where to find it.

Movement Intelligence
Upstream of
what matters
Until P3, the movement of elite athletes had never been studied at scale. We’ve tested athletes on force plates since 2006 and with 3D motion capture since 2012. Every assessment shapes that athlete’s training from day one. Then we track what happens next — who gets hurt, who stays healthy, who gets better — and every result makes the next assessment smarter.
That's how we spot problems before they show up. A fitness tracker tells you how hard you worked. We show how your body actually moves, and where it's headed.

P3's knee injury model can identify 6 of the next 10 serious knee injuries in the NBA before they happen.
Proven at the top
Trusted by
the NBA
70%
of current NBA rosters have been assessed at P3.
P3 pioneered the use of force plates and 3D motion capture in pro sports. From 2014 to 2023, P3 built and ran the NBA Draft Combine's biomechanics assessment. Today, all thirty NBA teams have biomechanics labs.
Expertise
Built
to train
Sports medicine was built to treat injuries. P3 was built to get ahead of them. We began in 2006 as a training facility, measuring athletes so we could train them with more precision than anyone else. Identifying risk is the start. The work is changing it, so athletes perform better and for longer.
"My body feels better now than it did at 23, and that doesn't happen in pro sports."

Recognition
Founded by Dr. Marcus Elliott, a Harvard-trained physician. In 2019, Dr. Elliott was named the 12th Augustus Thorndike Lecturer at Massachusetts General Hospital, the most prestigious lectureship in American sports medicine. Every previous lecturer has been an orthopedic surgeon; he is the only one recognized for predictive, data-driven performance science. It was a signal that the future of sports medicine lies in prevention, and that P3 is leading it.
