When you can’t afford another injury.

Managing injuries after athletes are cleared is a nonnegotiable. It’s not just about load. It’s how movement responds to load. Analyze them together — on-court, on-field, on-ice.

Start with one athlete See what it shows

START WITH ONE ATHLETE - SCALE AS NEEDED.

Built for the athlete you’re progressing right now.

  • Games stop being a blind spot

    See how each leg handles full minutes, whether they’re just back or managing an old injury.

  • Progressions run on numbers

    When someone pushes for full load early, you have more than a gut feeling, and everyone gets the same update.

  • Every decision backed by data

    If they break down, you can show what you saw and why you progressed.

Understand how they actually move.
Where they actually play.

After clearance, load is only half the question. The other half is how their movement responds to it. Most monitoring tools capture either load volume or movement quality. Select a tool to see what it measures.

Load Quality

Track distance, speed, and accelerations from position data. See how much an athlete moved, but not how they moved.

Load
Measured
Quality
Not measured

Every other tool tells us what the athlete did. Plantiga tells us how they did it, on the court, where it matters most.

Norman does the heavy lifting for you and summarizes each session for you in plain English.

The metrics that matter, at a glance

Key metrics of load and quality, surfaced to you in the context of the population norms and the athlete’s own typical range.

Asymmetries, split into intensity bands

Go beyond counting accelerations and decelerations. See the asymmetries in each intensity band to know where your athlete is compensating.

What we hear from practitioners when they reach out to us:

"He's skating, he's lifting, but there's still asymmetry there. We have no eyes on the ice, and that's where it counts."

Head of performance, NHL team

Hockey

"She's playing 34 minutes a night on a knee that's already been done once. All I have is force plates, and the games are where it matters."

Performance staff, WNBA team

Basketball

"GPS says his high-speed running is back. It doesn't tell me how that side is functioning. Last time we found out when it tore."

Head of performance, Premier League team

Soccer

"She's nine months post-op and back on the court. We're trying to quantify how much she's favoring the healthy side."

Athletic trainer, NCAA Division I women's basketball

Basketball

"He's cleared and playing Sundays, still managing that foot. Catapult gives me volume, not whether that side is braking."

Performance staff, NFL team

Football

"Are the last six minutes of practice worth it when his mechanics fall apart? Our LPS shows center of mass, not side to side."

Performance staff, NBA team

Basketball

Start collecting data in minutes.

Sensors go into the athlete’s own footwear. From there, every practice and game is measured without changing how they train.

Easy setup

Download our app, plug in the dock, and charge the sensors. The sensors then go inside the insole, orthotic, or shoe/skate.

Movement, not pressure

IMUs sampling at 500 Hz, trained on 150 million steps to read how a leg moves, not how hard it presses on the ground.

Works beside what you already use

Keep your force plates and GPS. Add Plantiga as a real-world movement quality layer.

Norman reads every session.

An AI is as good as the data it's fed. Norman is fed with our own proprietary 150 million steps from 13,000 athletes. With the context you provide, it knows the injury and what to watch for from day one. Then it reads every session against the athlete's own baseline, flags when one side starts doing more of the work, and summarizes it in plain English. Then you make the call: push, pause, or pull back.

FAQs

  • No problem, we can retrofit nearly any custom orthotic. You ship us the pair, we mill the cavity, and overnight it back in two days. Or tell your lab (Foot Management and Foot Care Express already build for us) and they will create a new custom orthotic with the cavity in at the mold level.

    We charge $150/pair for orthotic retrofits.

  • We get it - everybody has comfort preferences, and if your athlete isn’t comfy, they won’t wear the sensors no matter how valuable the data is. We can retrofit nearly any off-the-shelf insole, custom orthotic, or shoe to hold our sensors.

    We charge $150/pair for retrofits.

  • Yep, we can connect to whatever AMS you are using. You can also download data directly from our web platform.

  • Our lead time is 7 days from purchase.

  • Start by following the setup steps in our Plantigapedia. Our Applied Sport Science Team will then be available for Data Dives and you can email support@plantiga.com at any time with questions or issues.

One athlete.
Three months.

There’s a window after clearance when the athlete steps back into competition and the tools that measured them stay in the lab. One pair of sensors in their own footwear covers it.

Force plates cost more than five years of Plantiga, and the athlete has to come to them. Plantiga goes where they go.

Athletes coming back, and staying back, with Plantiga.

Every athlete here is managing lower-body injuries, whether past, present, or mitigating future ones. Each has a practitioner using Plantiga data to drive day-to-day decisions.

All five are Founding Athletes and Global Ambassadors who have personally invested in Plantiga.

Gabe Landeskog, Captain, Colorado Avalanche

Cartilage replacement surgery, nearly three years without a game, and no protocol for bringing an NHL captain back from this type of surgery. When Plantiga entered the picture in 2022, he started collecting data in his skates and his shoes every single day. He came back in the 2025 playoffs, 1,041 days after his last game, and has been at the top of his game ever since.

"Gabe could be home in Denver, getting up in the morning to walk his dog, and I could analyze his movement patterns and have full visibility. Every day was dialled in."

— Marcin Goszczynski, his Performance Therapist.

Petteri Lahtela is a Finnish entrepreneur and co-founder of Oura Health, the company behind the Oura Ring, one of the most widely used wearable devices for sleep and recovery tracking. He founded Oura in Oulu, Finland, in 2013 alongside Kari Kivelä and Markku Koskela, and served as the company's founding CEO from 2014 to 2018, later continuing as Chief Innovation Officer and President until his departure in 2020.

Under Lahtela's leadership, Oura grew from an early-stage Finnish startup into a globally recognized health technology company, now valued at over $2.5 billion with more than two and a half million rings sold worldwide. He led the decision to build the product as a ring rather than a wrist-worn device, based on the finger's ability to deliver more accurate biometric data, and helped shape Oura's global-first approach to market from the company's earliest days.

Lahtela holds a bachelor's degree in Computer and Information Science and a master's degree in Computer Engineering and Telecommunications, along with an Executive MBA in International Business from the University of Oulu.

Take the guesswork out of return-to-play.

Managing injuries in sport is an ongoing process. It's not just the load. It's how their movement responds to the load. Plantiga quantifies load and movement on-court, on-field, on-ice.

TAKE ATHLETE LOAD MONITORING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Athlete performance and availability are keys to success. Our technology takes the best elements of GPS (like accurate speed bands and load) and kinematic analysis (like step-by-step stride asymmetries and ground contact times) and brings us closer to the sorts of measures we get from dual force plate systems. Except this is an IMU sensor that fits into any shoe, insole, or cleat.
