ABOUT
You don't need to be injured, experience pain or be recovering from surgery to benefit from physical therapy. Physical Therapists are experts in analyzing and correcting movement, ensuring symmetrical strength throughout your body, and mitigating risk of injury. At Pillar Performance, we emphasize the importance of physical therapy together with personal training as a Pillar of long- term health.
In our experience and that of many patients, most standard physical therapy visits end once you are no longer in pain. Rarely do they challenge the patient to perform high-level activities that closely mimic the demands of the sport, activity or lifestyle they hope to get back to.
The goal of Pillar Performance is to bridge the gap between standard physical therapy and high-level performance training. Empowering people to recognize with the right guidance, there's no limit to what they can achieve physically - even if previously told otherwise. Operating out of Sky Health, a fully equipped state-of-the-art fitness facility, we leverage our skill set as both physical therapists and strength coaches to provide the highest quality care for both acute injuries and as a Pillar of long-term health.
