Performance Physical Therapy
Achieve Your Goals With Performance Physical Therapy
Move better, get stronger, and get more out of your body with hands-on physical therapy and performance-focused exercise training tailored to your goals.

The JMPT Approach
Get The Most Out Of Your Body
Everything the body does is performance, whether it is playing basketball, walking your dog, going for a hike, working your job, or playing with your kids. An injury, surgery, or nagging aches and pains can limit your ability to participate in the activities you love.
In performance physical therapy, we look at you as a whole. We focus on moving better, moving more, getting stronger, and getting more powerful—tailored to your specific goals and activities.

Evaluation
We perform a complete structural and functional assessment to create a performance physical therapy plan tailored to your goals.

Hands-On Difference
Manual therapy and hands-on techniques may include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and resisted exercises.

[Re]Building
Corrective exercises, strength training, and neuromuscular re-education help restore and improve mobility, control, and strength.
