Orthopedic and Sports Therapy is one of our specialties featuring a combination of physical therapy modalities, handson manual therapy and a full range of exercise equipment. Whether you suffer from tennis elbow, a orn rotator cuff or total knee replacement, Peak Performance facilities are designed to meet your healing needs.

Renowned for our state of the art HydroWorx Therapy Pool, Peak Performance understands that Aquatic Therapy reduces pain and increases flexibility. The water’s buoyancy lessens pressure on knees, ankles and hips; as well as decreases post-operative swelling, accelerating the rehabilitation process and in turn a quicker recovery.

From our Aquatic Therapy Pool to an area dedicated to Sports Conditioning and an in-house Fitness Center, our facilities offer cutting edge equipment and a caring staff to help you achieve the results you deserve.
