As a triathlete, parent of a competitive swimmer, and a physical therapist myself, I know how important it is to have a PT who really understands the mechanics of a sport as specialized as swimming. When a friend called me highly upset that his competitive swimmer may have a season ending injury, I knew exactly where to send them. Jon was able to see them quickly and not only came up with a rehab plan for the injury, but also helped them with a plan to build fitness and improve in other areas! The family (& swimmer) were so thankful they were able to see someone like Jon who has a comprehensive understanding of swimming, including the competitive and mental aspects. Jon and Optimum Performance is my first choice for sports, especially swimming, rehab needs!
"I want to personally think Jon and Optimum Performance PT for an incredible job of getting me upright, mobile, and back to the field in a short amount of time. I thought my umpiring season was over!! And right before the post season!
I injured my low back quite severely over the summer, which led to terrible hamstring issues as well. I found out through consultation with Jon that my low back injury was quite significant. He built a plan quickly and we went to work.
In a few very thorough visits, I was upright and on the mend. Jon was awesome and very professional throughout the process, educating me on the injury, the process to recover, and most importantly, preventive measures to take in the future. He had me try several techniques, really focus on engaging my core and mind. He used Red Cord exercises that targeted areas, and also got me into Core Shorts. These compression type shorts are awesome and made a huge difference in the way I feel while working out. Try them!!
Jon had me back to umpiring within a week and I was at full speed in two weeks, just prior to being able to umpire a HS state championship game.
My son is a competitive swimmer and has worked with Jon and Optimum Performance in the past as well and he continues to check in on him over time! First class!
I highly recommend anyone in PT need to visit with Jon! He truly cares for his patients in the now and well into the future."
