Do You Need a Physical Therapist or a Personal Trainer?

At Summit PT & Performance, our physical therapists are also highly trained in strength and conditioning, making them your one-stop resource for getting out of pain, returning to your workouts, and becoming the strongest version of yourself.

Injury prevention and strength training go hand in hand. Many active individuals face setbacks due to injuries in the gym, often resulting in fear of returning to exercise. But we believe this shouldn’t be the case.

Our hybrid approach combines physical therapy and strength training, ensuring you can not only recover but thrive. Here’s how working with a physical therapist can enhance your workouts:

How a Physical Therapist Can Help with Your Workouts

1. They Get You Out of Pain
   First, we’ll focus on relieving your pain so you can safely train again. It’s crucial not to just push through injuries.

2. They Identify Limitations and Help You Train Around Them
   Through a detailed movement analysis, we identify what motions and movements may be holding you back. Our physical therapists create a rehabilitation plan that targets areas needing more mobility or strength.

3. They’re Your Perfect Spotter
   In the gym, you’ve probably wished for someone to check your form. Our physical therapists are experts in spotting and guiding you through exercises, ensuring that you’re not risking injury with improper form.

4. They Adjust Training When Needed
   With consistent visits, your physical therapist can modify your program depending on how your body is feeling—whether that means pushing harder or scaling back for recovery.

5. They Help Make the Impossible Possible
   Think you’ll never run again after an injury? We’ve helped many athletes achieve what they once thought impossible. With our comprehensive approach, you’ll regain strength and resilience, often surpassing previous limitations.

By combining physical therapy and strength training under the guidance of a skilled professional, you unlock your true potential and ensure lasting health. At Summit PT & Performance, we don’t just help you recover—we help you thrive, long-term.
