You will have your very own team of world-class specialists delivering tailored treatment, individualized for you, when you need it. We understand that everybody is unique and needs to be treated as such, but with the highest standards of care possible, not limited to performance alone.

Our-Story

OUR STORY

After years of helping professional athletes return from injury, enhance their performance, and excel at their sport, we were determined to create a similar environment for the general public. Disappointed with traditional physical therapy clinics and fitness environments, we sought to recreate the elite sports medicine model used to enhance performance by creating a hybrid model of physical therapy, sports performance training, sports science, and adult fitness training.

OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE: TO HELP YOU

Starting with a correct diagnosis, we identify your problem and then solve it by building your team around you. We cultivate an environment of collaboration by uniting leading experts in musculoskeletal medicine across our state-of-the-art clinics. We work together as a team to set new standards of care and offer the breadth and depth of expertise only otherwise found within elite sports teams because only the right treatment will get you back to your best. We know that we can only do this by having the best people, with a commitment to the ongoing education and development of our team and industry. This is why you will find nothing but passion, commitment, and hunger to continuously raise the bar and deliver the best care possible for our patients.

Palaestra | How We Are Different

HOW WE ARE
DIFFERENT

Traditional physical therapy and fitness models do not provide the best care possible. Rushed appointments, lack of individual attention, and everyone doing the same program are not optimal. You deserve the best. To assure we achieve our mission, we base everything around three main principles:

We provide elite-level physical therapy, sports performance training, and adult fitness for motivated individuals looking to perform optimally and get the most out of their bodies.
Our goal is to always be a center of excellence in outcomes, satisfaction, research, education, and employee development.
We maximize your outcomes through comprehensive assessment, program design, treatment, training, and coaching.
We always strive to exceed expectations and provide the most effective, safe, and research-driven programs to achieve your goals.
We pledge to always provide cutting-edge services and will continue to evolve as new technology and techniques become available. Our focus is on education and expanding our skills. We never stop learning so you never stop advancing.
We ensure you get the care you need. We have a network of complementary healthcare and fitness providers, including the top doctors in the area and across the nation. If you have any additional health and wellness needs, we can help coordinate the care you need from the experts we trust. This ensures proper attention and communication for your best interest.

We provide exceptional individualized care to our clients by giving you the personal time and attention you deserve.
We value an individualized approach to your program; we do not use cookie-cutter programs for all our clients. This ensures you get exactly what you need.
Our sessions are not rushed, and our appointments are not overbooked.
We pride ourselves on spending one-on-one time with you, utilizing a hands-on approach.
Our focus is on outcomes, culture, client experience, and client satisfaction, not revenue.

Through our integrated model, we provide a comprehensive approach to health, wellness, and performance, ensuring you get the care you need.
We help you recover from injuries or surgery and guide you through the injury process to help you return to optimal health, not just back to baseline.
We help you optimize your body and maximize your performance, not just in the gym but also in your sport and life.
Our integrated team ensures that we are always communicating and collaborating to help you achieve your best.
