PEAK PERFORMANCE
Performance Coaching & Physical Therapy for Runners and Triathletes
ABOUT US
Reforming the standard of care when it comes to rehabilitation of runners and triathletes. We realize rest rarely solves an athletes problem. What if you could continue to train, while also rehabbing from an injury? We believe you can. If you're an athlete working us, then minimal time is lost from training as we can pivot on a moments notice. If you're working with an outside coach or team, you don't need a referral, we work directly with your team to ensure a seamless experience and minimal time off from training. Not an endurance athlete? That's OK. We still believe you deserve better than the status quo. Learn more about our "why" here.
We believe in a team based, comprehensive, and holistic approach. We realize physical therapy is more than just exercise, and our reach extends beyond the treatment table. We'll help establish realistic and holistic goals and habits. We'll help you find effective strategies that will produce meaningful results in a timely, cost-effective, and autonomous manner.
Regardless of whether you're new to a sport, a seasoned vet, trying to set a PR, qualify for a team or race, or simply looking to get back to a consistent, healthy active life, we can help.
