Performance Physical Therapy

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.

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!

Sneaky Fitness Tips and Tricks

Sneaky Fitness Tips & Tricks

Sneaky Fitness Tips and TricksEveryone is busy. We are. Our patients are. You are. In this society, and in this economy, everyone is trying to do more with less (including time used to do all the things that we need to do). In our practice, almost every patient that we treat has some form of ‘homework’ following an office treatment, meaning some activity that they are asked to do to help them feel better. That is quite a challenge for us, given everyone’s time limits.

As I tell my patients, ‘I can give you enough exercises for that shoulder (or knee, or back), to keep you busy for 2 hours. The problem is you will probably not do it, because I am sure that I would not do it myself!’ My goal is condense all the things that I would LIKE to do, into 10 or 15 minutes of things that I MUST do to get better.

Now, let’s take that idea and apply it to something that applies to us all-exercise. We know that exercise is good for us. We know we should do it. We hear that 3 hours of exercise per week is necessary for good health. But who has 3 hours a week to spare?

First of all, you need to re-think what you thought was exercise. Perhaps it is more than going to the gym. Perhaps it is more than getting changed into ‘workout’ clothes and running a few miles.

Here are some tips for easily ‘sneaking in’ exercise throughout your week:

1. Buy a pedometer. For less than $10, you can get a good quality pedometer that you attach to your belt. The number to remember is 10,000. Everyday, try to walk 10,000 steps. This may be the single best and easiest way to burn calories in your day. For example, while talking on your cell phone, walk. Having a meeting? Make it a walking meeting. The increased blood flow may even give you extra brainpower as well!

2. When standing in line somewhere (grocery store, restaurant, shopping), stand on 1 foot as long as you can. You are working on balance, coordination, agility, and leg strength.
3. Standing still near a wall? Put your back against the wall, slide down 3 inches, and hold it for 30 seconds.
4. Sitting in a chair with armrests? Put your hands on the armrests, and try to push up with out using your legs until your arms are straight.
5. Reading this at the breakfast table? Read standing up!
6. My favorite tip of all: don’t park so close! Park at the end of the parking lot and walk in from there. You added 1 minute to your errands, but burned calories and stretched your legs.

So, try to re-think the idea of exercise, and get sneaky about ways to fit in a little bit of moving your body! I’ll look for you standing on 1 foot at the mall!
