On 2/11/21, our daughter injured her right knee secondary to a contact injury, while playing basketball in 8th grade. We sought medical care at a local facility, at which time it was confirmed that she had a complete tear of her Right ACL. She had surgery on 3/2/21 for a Right ACL Reconstruction. Within the first week postoperatively, she began PT. She spent the next 8 months doing intense physical therapy, several times per week, both at home and at a local PT facility. Approximately 9 months postoperatively, she was incredibly strong, and cleared to return to sports. However, she continued to go to PT in order to optimize her strength and mobility, as well as to minimize risk of reinjury. She returned to the basketball court for 9 games, when sadly on 1/4/22, she suffered a non-contact injury to her left knee with only 50 seconds left in the bb game. She was evaluated the following day and found to have a contralateral tear to her Left ACL, which she later had Left ACL Reconstruction on 1/11/22. 3 days postoperative, she resumed PT, but now with the focus on the left knee, all while trying to maintain her strength and mobility of the right leg as well. She went on to have intense PT for a total of 2- 1/2 years. Carter Hoffman, DPT came highly recommended to us by our surgeon, and he did not disappoint. His incredible and vast knowledge of sports medicine, strength, mobility, kinesiology, and prevention of reinjury is beyond admirable. He not only focused on her recovery from "routine" ACL reconstruction, but also evaluated how she moved and why she moved the way she does. He identified risk factors that could lead to injury so that he could ultimately prevent a recurrence in the future. He was continuously assessing, planning, implementing, and reevaluating every movement, every bit of setback/progress, every emotion along the way. Carter's attention to detail, and holistic approach to providing care to his patients is nothing short of amazing. He exceeded all expectations, and always strived for excellence and pushed our daughter to be the best she can be. He treats his patients like one of his own family, genuinely concerned about all assets of the situation at hand. His ability to capture our daughter's undivided attention, and educate her about her injuries, and prevention thereof, created the foundation of success for not only her future athletic career, but also lessons in life. He inspired her to work hard for what she wants, and to never stop believing in herself. Our daughter is now a Senior in high school, pursuing her dream of playing Varsity volleyball, and has been selected to play on a Nationals Club Volleyball team this winter. Not only has Carter made a lasting impression on our family's lives, he has also inspired our daughter to pursue a career in PT after she graduates. Carter Hoffman's, DPT Physical Therapy program comes highly recommended on all levels. read more

Incredible Recovery Experience with Carter at Peak Potential After a catastrophic ski accident in January 2023 where I tore both ACLs and my left MCL, I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to run again. It was hard to imagine regaining strength, and the emotional weight of the injury made everything feel overwhelming. Discovering I needed a different kind of physical therapy from the traditional clinical PT, I started to see Carter in July 2023. Carter is a "kinesiological" engineer with an incredible skill set. I chose Peak Potential because I wanted someone who could customize my recovery plan, and Carter's approach stood out right away. Carter didn't just help me recover; he strategically designed a program tailored to my injuries and my goals. What sets him apart is how he personalized every detail, making sure I could not only return to my life but perform at a high level. He taught me how to understand my body and build strength in ways I couldn't have found anywhere else. The atmosphere at Peak Potential is motivating and empowering. As a patient, I always feel supported, and Carter's expertise gave me the confidence to push through challenges. Just seven months after starting PT with Carter, I completed my first marathon--something I never thought possible after my injury. If you're skeptical about physical therapy, I can confidently say that working with someone like Carter can completely transform your life. His thoughtful, creative, evidence-based approach will not only help you heal but give you the tools to come back even stronger. read more

I was fortunate enough to work with Carter at Peak Potential for my physical therapy after a car accident that fractured my pelvis. This was after my cancer surgery recovery, where I unfortunately had to remove part of my pelvis. My case was extremely complicated and complex. Carter took the time to not only study my history but also to help me find workarounds to make my everyday life easier, while also making me stronger so that I could continue to progress. He was incredibly kind and genuine in his care for me, ensuring that I felt like I was achieving my levels of success. Because of him, I was able to walk again without a cane or assistance. More than that, I was able to function with a lower pain level. He worked with me on everything from sitting to standing positions to make me more comfortable and how to walk taller and stronger. His assistance gave me back independence, stability, strength, and the ability to feel like I could get back to myself. I can't say enough about his attention to detail and care for his patients. I was willing to drive an hour one way just to see him because I knew he put as much time and dedication into my recovery as I did. If you work with Carter or anyone in his practice, you are in fantastic hands. read more

I have a unique and awesome experience with Carter. I got to be his student during my last clinical at PT school. Not only did I learn a ton about being a great PT, but he also helped me work on my knee pain! Along with being a PT student, I am a runner, and I had had knee pain for at least 4 years by the time I found Carter. He took the time to look at my knees, the way I was moving, and the way I was running and teach me why my knees hurt and how to move differently so they didn't. Even though I was learning about running and knee pain and everything in between at school, I couldn't figure out how to help myself, but Carter framed things in a way that really simplified things and helped me understand how to help myself. The time he takes to explain the whole picture to his patients is so very important so that people can quickly become independent in addressing their pain and getting back to the things they love. I could go on and on about his willingness to spend extra time with patients and doing research on his own time and looking at people as whole people rather than just an orthopedic diagnosis, but you really should just pay him a visit and find out for yourself! read more

I saw several doctors, received imaging, was referred to PT, and was prescribed medication for exercise-induced headaches and neck pain before I finally found a long-term solution and relief in working with Carter. Carter goes beyond the scope of typical physical therapy practice to not only accurately target the problem but also ensure it does not become a recurring issue later on. Carter has a knack for involving and educating you throughout the entire process (injury/diagnosis/treatment/prevention, etc..), so you're not just bettering yourself physically, but you are gaining knowledge and insight into the way your body functions, it's strengths, and limitations on an individual basis. Needless to say, I have been pain-free and fully functional since working with this guy. I seek his advice and skillset regularly for any new issues, and he exceeds expectations every. single. time. I genuinely cannot recommend Carter enough! read more
