Back to the sports they love
“I've worked with countless PTs, but Michael is hands down the best. I went in with a sprained ankle I could barely walk on, and now I'm back to soccer, basketball, and all my athletic activities at full speed with no pain.”
“Michael made me forget I have hip dysplasia. Thanks to his guidance I don't feel it much anymore — we've built strength and found my limits. I can do most of the athletic things I like, pain free.”
“I injured myself lifting while training for a competition. Between Scott and Michael, I became pain free for the first time in a long time. They fine-tuned my lifting and built my confidence. I'm lifting better than ever and returning to compete!”
“I'd suffered patella knee pain for years. I saw all kinds of doctors and a knee surgeon to find the root cause. Scott Johnson was the first to correctly diagnose exactly what was going on. The exercises were unique, but they really worked.”
“I'm seventy with advanced osteoarthritis and came in with pain and instability in both knees. Working with Scott, I've acquired strength and muscle I couldn't build before and significantly reduced my pain — and had a good time doing it.”

Right now, you might be…
You've been cleared by your surgeon, but you're still favoring the leg, scared to fully load it, and wondering if you'll re-tear at full speed. Getting cleared isn't the same as being ready. Real return-to-sport is earned with objective testing — strength, power, and symmetry — not a calendar date. We bridge the gap to full speed with criteria you can see.
What your first visit looks like
Zach MunizzaPT, DPT, CSCS01Measure readiness — don't guess it
One-on-one testing with force plates, strength testing, and hop tests to measure strength, power, and side-to-side symmetry — so returning is based on your body, not the week number.
02Rebuild capacity, step by step
For Achilles and tendon injuries we progress well-dosed loading and single-leg capacity, then guide a structured return to running so it holds up when you push the pace.
03Retrain the movement — and the trust
Plyometrics, cutting, and sport-specific drills rebuild your body and your confidence for full speed, on a plan built to reduce re-injury risk.
