Testimonials

Pam Jones says:

Peak Performance Physical Therapy gave me my life back. Like everything else I’ve ever done, I managed to turn gardening into an extreme sport. The result was acute and chronic low back pain. I could no longer garden, pick up my groceries, hike, sit or stand for any period of time, and my sleep was disrupted because of the burning in my hip.

My family practitioner gave me a prescription for some sessions of physical therapy. I went to a locally renowned physical therapist and became more and more debilitated during the treatment.

Then someone at my gym said Melinda at Peak Performance Physical Therapy had helped them a lot, and I should give her a try. The first thing Melinda did was suggest an MRI so we could see what was going on structurally.

The MRI showed a bulging disc and osteoarthritis in my sacrum. Melinda stopped everything I was doing except walking on a flat surface and some very gentle back exercises she gave me. It turns out that even the exercises from the previous PT and the yoga I did on my own were increasing my pain.

PPPT also gave a class in proper body mechanics while gardening. I learned that everything I could have done wrong during my 20 years of gardening, I did wrong.

Armed with new skills about how to respect my body while moving through life, I am now doing the things I love again.

The rest of the staff and atmosphere at Peak Performance Physical Therapy are warm and inviting. Now that I no longer need their services, I miss being there.
