Dr. Rachel, helped me heal quicker and stronger after foot surgery. She is very knowledgeable and pushed me to become stronger and more flexible. Scheduling was easy, I felt listened to and she assesses the entire body not just your troubled area. My husband went to see this practice after I raved about them.

I highly recommend Direct Performance PT for anyone’s PT needs. The staff is professional, friendly, always on time and knowledgeable. They have helped me tremendously getting to a point where I can further recover at home and exercising outside within two months of my knee replacement. I will def use them again in the future!!
