Proof that physical therapy really works

Physical therapy is a rapidly growing field. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of physical therapists is projected to grow by 28 percent between 2016 and 2026. More and more doctors and health care professionals are recommending physical therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for a wide range of conditions and injuries.

While growth in a profession indicates popularity, it does not necessarily indicate effectiveness. However, there is growing proof that physical therapy does work and that it can help reduce health care costs when pursued as a form of treatment. In fact, a study published in the journal, Health Services Research, reports that using physical therapy as a first management strategy resulted in 72 percent lower health care costs for patients in the first year.

When you come to us, we want you to be confident that you will be receiving excellent care designed to return you to the quality of life you deserve. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated team at any time.

What our patients are saying

The highly-trained physical therapists at Peak Performance work with each patient to perform a full evaluation that includes movement, strength and balance tests, and a review of your treatment history. For physical therapy to work, it has to be individualized and one-on-one.

While every patient and outcome is different, we have a track record for helping patients find relief and get back to their lives. Here are just a couple of success stories:

• “Five stars all the way! My PT, Jerry, is wonderful and made conquering bursitis, tendinitis and frozen shoulder enjoyable. The whole staff is upbeat and fun. Therapy goes faster and less painful when you’re having a good time. Here, the hour seems like it’s over in a blink of an eye. I will never go back to a chiropractor. You get so much more with a therapist and therapy center. Thank you, Peak Performance!” — Margot S.

• “I had a fantastic experience at Peak Performance! Darrin was wonderful to work with and was always willing to answer my questions and tailor the exercises to my needs. I was able to see signs that the exercises were working very quickly! The facility is a fun environment to be in and the staff was very attentive, you can tell that they truly care about your recovery. I highly recommend them!” — Tayvia D
