We've been coming here for about a year. My daughter is an A level softball pitcher and gets her share of muscle pulls and knots. Jason always gets her what I'd call "tuned up". He does amazing athletic massage therapy and is very helpful with offering stretching techniques to help prevent reoccurring problems. read more

I had reservations as to whether this type of service would prove to be worth the investment, but I am so glad I gave it a try. The staff was friendly, the environment pleasant, and I am extremely satisfied with the results. I purchased a 50 minute session, And it felt like I was there half that time. I've always struggled with flexibility, and so, stretching has always felt like such a challenge and chore, but my time here was not only effective, it was easy, and even enjoyable. I recommend this for anyone, without reservation! Give it a try!! read more

I came to Andy with pain in my lower back. He was able to find the problem and help me fix it. Not only he fixed the problem he taught me how to deal with it in case it strikes again. I would Definitely recommend this business! read more

I ride my horse 6x week. I'm in the gym 6xwk. I have had other horses before him. I, along with other riders I know, have a leg pain from "heel down, toes up". The pain has gotten progressively worse. I would be searching for a chair to sit down in at events or every day occasions. My internist prescribed pain killers 3x day which did NOTHING. I've had other treatments (dry needling etc) which were equally ineffective. After 4 visits with Andy and Jason, my pain is GONE. I can't rave enough about how they took my pain away.These guys are SPECTACULAR. Thank you! read more

I've had a constant headache for 18 months. That's right, it never goes away. It just varies in strength from a 2-12 on a scale of 1-10. Had MRI, CT scans, and lots of tests. Had 2nd opinions. Tried over 12 different kinds of meds that normally help migraines, but not me. Actually made it worse. Now I'm on a list to see a headache specialist in April 2015...if I live until then. Lol That's just a little history before I share my experience at Peak Performance. So I heard that Andy has helped many people that have suffered with migraines and in severe pain. Many were helped after one treatment. So why not try and see. I set up the appointment online. My experience was very easy. The only time you run into an issue is if he is completely booked. I like the fact that you can choose your availability compared with his. The building is easy to find. The lobby is comfy and elegant. Andy is super nice and very good at what he does. You see him right when your appointment is, no waiting. I was so impressed how he invited my fiancé in and even showed him how to help me get relief. He took time to show me what was going on and how much of a mess my muscles were....and how to work on myself. It's better to teach a person to fish instead of just providing a basket of fish. I was amazed how he found trigger points, pressed in, found the release, and sometimes a referral of release. I thought he was easing up, but no, my muscles were easing up the pain. Thank God! By the time we were done I was feeling so much better. My neck, shoulders, and face were relaxed and loose...just like they should be. Yes, I said face. Who knew your face muscles needed a release of tightness to feel better. I even feel like I glow this evening. Sort of hard to explain. I just feel good. On that note of feeling good, he has warned me that I could experience pain in the areas we worked and even possibly a rebound headache. I've had a constant headache for almost two years, but I've head head, neck, and shoulder pain and knots for over 15 years, so if it works out that way, ok. We may need to do a few more treatments before complete relief. That's ok with me. I've been dealing with this way too long with no help at all. Today was one big step in the right direction. read more

I came into town from Denver with a relentless migraine and needed to see someone STAT before attending a wedding. Andy was amazing. He fit me into his super busy schedule twice during my stay and provided some much needed relief. He's highly intuitive and knowledgeable about pain and how the body works. I flew back to Denver but vowed to fly back just to see him again! He's amazing. read more

Andy was amazing. Recently played in Cincinnati for a national squash tournament. My foot was hurting and Andy fixed it in one day! During the tournament, he helped heal my soreness and speed up recovery. He even went out of his way to come to my hotel to work on me. Highly recommend anybody to give his location a visit. I guarantee you will come out feeling pain-free! Additionally, Andy talk me a useful technique called bodytalk that helped with my nerves during my matches. He is a big reason I was able to take first place in the tournament. read more

Andy is simply the best. We were in town for a tennis tournament. My son has seen many different PTs in other cities but Andy was the best. He was able to get to the root of some issues that were causing pain. read more

I'm about as critical and cynical person as it gets when it comes to unconventional therapies. With that said, I wanted to take a minute (a long overdue one) and thank Andy personally for all the great work he's done for my wife, Carol. My wife has been suffering (and there's really no other way to put it) miserably with Piriformis Syndrome / Sciatica issues for around two years. She fell at home down the stairs and since then has had great pain in her glute, hip and down her leg. There were days when she would just cry from all the pain. As a husband and provider, that's about the worst thing is to see someone you love suffering. The problem was hardly any doctor in Cincinnati knows anything about Piriformis Syndrome and how to treat it. We tried Chiropractic, exercise therapy, even Bowen Therapy and massage. Massage would help for short periods. Chiropractic did nothing but waste time and money (this is a muscular issue not a structural / bone issue she has). Finally, we stumbled across Andy in December of 2012. My wife, after a few treatments, went from a 10+ on a daily pain scale to around a 2 or 3. We knew that we were (or I should say Andy) onto something with the ART Andy performs. As a husband, I would sit in the room during therapy and chat with Andy as he worked (and he works hard) on my wife. I can now say, after a year with Andy working on her (less treatments are needed once the condition was under control), that she's finally able to have her quality of life back. She's not only feeling better, but working out at the gym five days per week (and she's feeling more fit and healthy every day). I feel like I have my wife back and more importantly she feels like she's able to enjoy life again. The cost of the therapy was a lot cheaper than potential surgery (or for that matter even probably cheaper than an MRI, which our family doctor told us wouldn't tell much for nerve pain anyway now that her back has been ruled out). I can't thank Andy enough. If you have myofascial pain, Piriformis, a chronic knee or shoulder pain (or a lot of other conditions that I didn't realize could be treated with ART), you should consider Andy, you won't be sorry. read more

This is my second testimonial re: Andy Shutterly. I'm not exaggerating when I say he saved my life. I am an incredibley active/athlete my whole life. 10 years I had a simple out patient procedure to get the arthritis (I have RA) out of my facets in my L3,4 and 5 vertebrae. Well the doctor accidentally cut off my spin is process and cut my Dural Sac (this houses the spine and carries spinal fluid to your brain) I got a MRSA infection that went into my brain. My family was told I might not live through this and to get my things in order. Thank God I lived through it. However, I ended up having the infection return 4 more times and I ended up having 5 total surgeries which built up so much scar tissue and more arthritis so my symptoms got worse. I literally had horrible quality of life living in pain everyday changes a person and it is terribly depressing. I've always been a happy go lucky girl until then. I went to Andy bc I had tried so many options, pain meds, physical therapy etc. NOTHING helped my sciatic pain down both legs. I went to Andy and for the first time in 3 years post 5 surgeries I walked out of his office with very little pain. The second time I went to Andy I walked out with NO PAIN! NONE, NADA. I took my 80 yr old mother and same thing! She walked out with no pain from her arthritis!!!! Fast forward in August of this year I had emergency surgery in a strangulated surgery. After the surgery I had crazy pain in my hip now! It was so bad I couldn't walk. Again I went to Andy for help. In ONE SESSION I was cured. I have no pain at all! It took 2 days after he worked on me I walked with NO PAIN! Andy is a gift from GOD! His talents are life changing. I owe EVERYTHING to Andy! Thank you for giving me my life back Andy. You truly are a miracle worker. Everyone who is in pain needs to see him. He will help you live pain free and change your life too!!!! read more

Andy is able to find the root of the muscle problem and work it out more so than any other massage therapist. I've had arm pain for over a year and tried PT, needling, and steroid shots. But nothing helped. Andy is making headway on my arm pain and is helping with neck and head aches too. read more

Andy Shetterly with Peak Performance is fantastic. I went to him on referral and couldn't be happier. His methods not only cured my pain but also will help me prevent future injuries. Andy is knowledgeable, professional and had a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Peak Performance Sports Therapy. Even if you don't have a current injury, these methods help with prevention. I plan on going back every few months. read more

When I was training for my first half marathon, my knee began locking during runs about a month before my race. I was so discouraged because I literally could not run; I had to get rides back half way through routes. I saw a physical therapist and was told that there was nothing actually "wrong" with my knee. The only thing she could tell me to do was rest it, but after days of resting and icing and feeling better, the locking would come right back. I searched on Yelp for sports massages and found Andy, who I now jokingly call my "voodoo shaman". After just one session he managed to drastically reduce the tension around my knee, noting that it was emanating from my tight hip, calf, and IT band, none of which were even considered by the physical therapist. He then literally massaged and pressed out the tightness, which was so severe I couldn't have done myself. I not only felt much better, but the functionality of my knee was restored just in time to make my first truly long run. (+10 miles) I hadn't heard of active release therapy before, but it is a godsend. Not only did Andy correctly diagnose the real problem, but he helped me fix it and avoid it in the future. As much as I like him, after three appointments I haven't seen him since. I recommend him to friends with inexplicable pains and injuries all the time. I was shocked how much real injury simple muscle tightness can create. My only note would be that scheduling an appointment isn't quite smooth yet. He seems to prefer texting or phone calls to the online scheduler I found on the website and that can be a little difficult to keep track of. Still, it's worth it. read more

After months of hard training and within a month of my first IRONMAN triathlon, I started getting knee pain that prevented me from running. Terrified of the impact this would have on my ability to finish the race, I reached out to Andy at Peak Performance Sports Therapy. He was able to diagnose the issue (IT Band) in the first visit and in very short time had me back to 100%. He also taught me techniques to prevent this pain from coming back that have worked for the past two years. Andy is great at working with athletes and is definitely someone you want on your team to get you to 100%! He's a great guy and is a true expert! read more

I have been a client of Andy Shetterly's for about 7 years during which he has helped me through numerous ballet-related injuries and a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). His specialized ART technique helped me through all of my injuries and, on one occasion, kept me out of surgery. I most appreciate his attention to detail and the information he shares during treatment about the cause of the injury, anatomy, and exercises and therapies you can apply at home to assist in your recovery and avoid future re-injury. As an athlete, I consider Peak Performance an invaluable part of my ability to stay active and perform in all the sports that I love. I also trust Andy to tell me whether he alone can help me or if I need to see another specialist. I would strongly recommend him to anyone. read more
