When getting back to your life is priority – it’s time to see the experts at Peak Performance.
The Peak Performance team of experts pairs the most recent scientific advances with proven effective techniques to get you back to your level of “peak performance”. We get to know “you” in depth, your goals, how your body specifically works (and doesn’t work), and what interventions need to be done to make it function in a pain-free, optimally performing manner. We consistently earn accolades from our patients and referral sources for our intensive approach to treatment, returning clients to function and athletes to sport in fewer visits than required elsewhere, and at a higher level of function than they thought possible.
Peak Performance has earned a reputation for providing exceptional muscoloskeletal rehabilitation services.
An in-depth evaluation guides client-specific treatment of orthopedic musculoskeletal conditions. Treatment often consists of manual therapy to restore joint or soft tissue mobility, skilled therapeutic exercise prescription specific to the stage of healing and client abilities, (No “Back, Knee or Shoulder Exercise” handouts here! All exercises are developed specifically for you according to your presentation on that day.), neuromuscular re-education to engage the nervous system in learning control of optimal movement, and modalities such as taping, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, laser or iontophoresis to promote soft tissue healing and help support the manual therapy and exercise interventions, as deemed necessary by your therapist.
Our treatment approach is based on the understanding of the relationship of the hip and back in function and the differences in musculoskeletal structure and function of the female body. Recent scientific advances have shown that women (and girls) move differently than men and are vulnerable to different types of injury. We utilize the latest scientific information and an in-depth analysis of the problem, including the stage of life, to guide female-specific treatment.
Our therapists undergo extensive training and aggressively pursue the latest scientific information to bring unparalleled expertise to the area of sports injury management. We utilize an extensive evaluation of biomechanics, movement analysis and tissue function to bring together a program specific to the athlete, their sport and their goals. We advocate and help facilitate a team approach which includes the athlete, doctor, coach, parent, trainer, PT and any others involved in the athlete’s care.
Our goal is to return the athlete to their sport a more capable performer than when they were injured, with improved movement patterns and an understanding of their own biomechanics that leaves them able to make greater advances in their performance than prior to injury.
Our athletes are constantly amazed that despite being away from the sport with an injury, they were able to return with increased first step quickness, improved agility and lateral stability, more explosive movement and improved top speed. Coaches are relieved to find that their athletes come back at the appropriate time, often before anticipated and without having lost ground due to their injury and ready to jump back into their training with minimal to no limitation.
