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!

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.

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!

What I See When I Go to the Gym

What I See When I go to the Gym

A lot of my patients have said to me in the past, “I bet you see some crazy things people are doing when you go to the gym”. I have to politely smile and calmly say that, indeed, I do see a lot of “interesting” exercises and techniques when I observe others in their fitness routines. What I want to say is that any given day I enter a fitness facility, I will see a significant number of people performing exercises that are not appropriate for their condition and even more people doing exercises with incorrect form.

Frankly, I feel like every time I see a person doing an exercise incorrectly, I am looking at my next patient!

I have no doubt that many of these folks are performing their routines with all good intent of improving themselves in some way. In most cases, they may have seen an exercise in a magazine or even been taught a routine by a well meaning employee of the gym. But, as we all know, it is easy to fall into bad habits which ultimately leads to performing a movement incorrectly. It is not unlike swinging a golf club. You may be taught the proper technique, but over time, you deviate from that. So you start slicing or hooking the ball. In your attempt to correct the problem you head to the driving range….only to practice the same incorrect swing over and over again. It is only when a golf pro looks at your swing that you can understand what you are doing wrong, and then you can make the correction.

Here are some common errors and suggestions to correct these mistakes, in addition to some tips for improving your form during exercise.

So, check yourself when you go to the gym next time. Just remember, I may be watching you!!
