What Our Clients Have to Say

quotesThe most innovative and aggressive therapists you will find anywhere

I have been coming to Functional Performance for many years. I have had at least one surgery on every extremity. I keep coming back, because I truly feel Derek and Sara are the most innovative and aggressive therapists you will find anywhere. They are not just concerned with your current injury, but in treating and strengthening every muscle and joint around your specific injury, as well as the cause of your injury. Three of my kids have also been treated for their injuries as well. We have all enjoyed our experiences at Functional Performance Center!

quotesDerek and Sara are THE BEST!

I have been going to Functional Performance off and on for several years. They can almost always fix what is ailing me. Everything from a sore back to plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonosis. (Or something like that). It is great to get fixed up and get strong. Derek and Sara are THE BEST! Oh yeh. If you need custom orthotics, this is a great place to get them. The front office staffers are always nice and efficient too.

quotesSo thankful for the knowledge, time, and friendly atmosphere

I had a horrible problem with my right shoulder, it didn't move and I was in a lot of pain. After therapy for bicep tendonitis I am able to move my shoulder and get back in the gym. I'm so thankful for the knowledge, time, and friendly atmosphere. It has been a few months since I have been there and I miss everyone very much. I really learned a lot during my therapy and now have a solid shoulder routine I do once a week and daily stretches, to keep the mobility and strength in both shoulders now. Thank you Sarah for your help.

quotesBy far the best I've been to
I've been to a lot of PT. FPC is by far the best I've been to. They've never forgotten which side/area of my body was injured, their attention to detail is amazing. Even if there is 10 patients in the building I would be told to correct my exercise from across the room if the therapist was busy.

Sara has made a difference in my life.

I saw Sara for vestibular issues I had struggled with on and off for years. I chose Sara because she had additional training and was certified in vestibular rehab. Sara did a more thorough exam than the neurologist. She was able to see the smallest things that were causing my problems. Her knowledge of vestibular issues is extensive and helped me understand my issues, exercises to correct them and tools to continue to do well. With Sara’s help, I have overcome situations that would normally trigger an episode. Sara has made a difference in my life. Thank you Sara! Another time, when I needed help to resolve pain in my upper back, I reached out to Sara. With Sara and Cory’s help I was able to resolve and manage that issue also.

quotesGreat care and I'm always treated like family

I'm a long-time patient for a reason. I always receive great care and I'm always treated like family. VERY knowledgeable and experienced Staff. They care. Over the last decade +, Derek & Sara have treated me for a wide variety of injuries, mostly related to my unwillingness to retire from running competitively. From IT band syndrome to pulled hamstrings, sprained ankles, broken ankle, toe and hand, knee surgery rehab, hip pain, back pain, shoulder pain, shin pain, calf injuries.....just to name a few. Not once have I ever had to be re-treated for the same injury. They fix me so I can go hurt something else!
