“I’ve rehabbed nine surgeries with four NFL teams. Dr. Steveson’s functional approach makes the most sense and is by far the most effective.”
- Matt Joyce, 11-year NFL veteran

“The baseball specific training and conditioning program at the Functional Performance Center is awesome. It is comprehensive and covers every aspect of getting your body and mind prepared to play at maximum effectiveness.”
- Todd Stottlemyre, 15-year Major League Pitcher

“I am on the USA National Team for swimming and suffered what many swimmers call a career-ending injury to my left shoulder.  Doctors told me it could be more than a year until I could compete at a high level again, if at all.  I got the surgery and conducted extensive rehab at the Functional Performance Center.  Four months into my recovery I was back in the water competing at the highest of levels just like before.  Now I am shooting for an Olympic birth in 2008.  Everyone at FPC helped me keep that dream alive!”                    
- Nick Brunelli (400sc Free Relay American record holder)

“On November 15, 2000, FPC fitted me with a pair of orthotics.  Since then I have walked pain-free.  What a blessing - seven years of no pain after so many years of my knees killing me!”      
- Stephen D. McLaughlin (McLaughlin Bros., Inc., Belmond, IA)

“I have a job that keeps me running and on my feet all day long. Since Dr. Steveson and the FPC custom-fitted me with orthotics, my knees and joints no longer ache and swell with pain. I never realized what a difference they make to improve your daily life! Don't forget to have him make a pair for your work-out/running shoes...and then go for a jog. The difference is incredible!”
- Sean McLaughlin (Chief Meteorologist - CBS 5 News)

“I was in auto accident a few years ago and needed physical therapy for the nerve injury that I sustained.  After trying a few therapists around the Valley, I found the Functional Performance Center to be the most helpful and dedicated.  Derek and the rest of his staff focused on my injury and my exercises as if I were their only patient.  Their attention to detail and willingness to teach me about my rehabilitation allowed me to get back in the gym and back to my daily routine without pain.  Functional Performance Center has also helped me with knee pain that prevented me from running on a regular basis.  After getting fitted for orthotics, my knee pain has gone away and I am getting the most out of my gym workouts.
- Anthony Aguilar

“During the past several years we have experienced three foot surgeries, two shoulder surgeries, one knee surgery and an assortment of other minor ailments (including two varieties of cancer).  In spite of the foregoing at the age of 67, we are active swimmers, cyclists, and “sloggers” (slow joggers) due to the effective and comprehensive rehabilitation provided by the staff at the Functional Performance Center.  We have participated in their professional and competent approach to rendering us whole under difficult medical circumstances.  Sylvia’s foot reconstruction was extensive and her rapid recovery was labeled by the orthopedic surgeon as a near miracle and indicated that she might be the poster child (?) for the procedure that included pins through all five toes and two screws on the top of the foot as well as a large screw through the heel.  In fact, she returned to normal activities in seven months (during which period she spent 3 days per week at FPC) instead of the predicted 12 months.  We both rehabbed following surgery for torn rotator cuffs (more titanium added to our bodies) and again benefited from the Functional Performance Center protocol that has us both using our shoulders without any encumbrance.  In addition to the professional practice of physical therapy, we were always delighted by the bright and positive atmosphere; they made some of the difficult parts of rehabilitation not only tolerable but enjoyable.  Live Strong.”
- Van and Sylvia VanArsdale
