Performance Physical Therapy

Lorraine Jackson
I was treated for my neck and shoulders, primarily by Jennifer. I also saw a few other therapists, but not once did I have to repeat my story. The environment of PPT and the friendliness of all the staff made my visits enjoyable! I can’t believe how pain free I am! I’ve been to other therapy places; PPT is TOPS!

Always helpful professional knowledgeable. Just an all out great experience.

Before coming to PPT I saw another physical therapist about hip pain. After seven weeks there wasn’t any improvement. A friend recommended PPT and the results were phenomenal! Sean thoroughly tested my range of motion and prescribed several stretching and strengthening exercises. He progressed these weekly. He re-tested my ROM after six weeks and the improvements were remarkable. Plus the pain was gone! Sean will be my PT for life!

From the start of my PT everyone I encountered was very friendly and pleasant. I was impressed with the interaction between staff and how knowledgeable Taylor (PT) as well as the techs were when I asked questions. I would recommend this office!!!

I came to Performance Physical Therapy several years ago because I had heard good things about them, having been disappointed in other PT practices I had used over the years. Most recently, the last two sets of therapy have been with Jordan Morris, who is an outstanding diagnostician and therapist. He carefully evaluated my aches and pains and the exercises he used and therapies he applied succeeded in vastly improving my strength and flexibility. I would most definitely work with him again if I have any other issues. He is an asset to the practice.

Knowledgeable, friendly, and great staff well organized.
Karen Riordan
Highly Recommend! I was extremely impressed w/the quality of care I received. The Physical therapist, Sam Bachman, had her Doctorate in Physical Therapy - was up to date on the latest treatments and had me 100% for a shoulder issue in just a few short weeks, after months of pain. I would definatly go back to PPT for any future needs!

Is Your Balance the Problem?

4 Simple Tests to Find Out

Balance means different things to different people.

To a 5-year old, balance means learning to ride a bike without training wheels.

For an adult, balance means successfully catching yourself, as you’re carrying an armload of groceries, after tripping over the bike that the 5-year old left laying in the driveway.

As an older adult, balance can be as simple as staying upright as you walk or regaining your footing without falling if you stumble.

Good balance is extremely important for an older person in maintaining their independence, a common fear expressed by our elderly patients.

Falling and breaking a bone, especially in the hip, knee, foot, or ankle, often leads to the loss of independence and in some cases, even death.

Fortunately, early attention to the problem can help you maintain good balance throughout your life.

Balance Can Be Complex

Once you hit your 40s, maintaining balance can get a bit tricky. But don’t worry! Adding balance training to your workout routine is crucial for overall well-being.

Balancing exercises are just as essential as cardio, strength, and flexibility workouts. They all work together to enhance your stability and reaction to challenges.

Your balance can be affected by various factors like medications, inner ear problems, vision issues, and blood pressure. But fear not! Physical therapy focuses on muscles, bones, joints, and nerves, promoting excellent balance.
