If you need to go to physical therapy, Performance is the place to go. The staff is extremely knowledgeable - I always feel like I'm in good hands. Head therapist and performance Westport manager Alexander Shafiro is great. I would highly highly recommend him. I originally came a few years ago because of a back injury and was treated successfully. Instead of going back to a personal trainer, who could injure me, I decided to stay on as a client of Alex's. He works you very hard. Alex occasionally takes clients. Performance also doesn't feel like your average physical therapy place - it feels like a gym. And when you aren't doing your physical therapy, you can come in any other day to work out and -----if you have a question about a certain exercise you will get an informed answer -----which unfortunately people don't really take advantage of. Aide and personal trainer Dave Kell is also great - if you need to improve your cardio - be it running or biking - he's the person to go too. Ever since working with him - my endurance has greatly improved. The bathrooms and showers are clean if you need to change after a session. The only downside is that they aren't open on Sunday. read more

Performance PT Westport is by far the best physical therapy experience I've had, and I have had years of PT at several facilities. My most recent injury was a torn ACL and meniscus. My doctor sent me to the therapist that was affiliated with his office and I was very disappointed. After 2 sessions I started asking around for recommendations and 3 people recommended Performance. I have been there for a year (both for prehab and then rehab after surgery) and have been extremely impressed with Brian, my therapist. He is experienced, professional, dedicated and thinks outside the box. He is always thinking of new ways to address my issues and is a pleasure to work with. I truly feel like I am in the best hands with him. Chris, my trainer, is knowledgable, motivating, and tough, but at the same time makes it fun. Stash runs the office professionally and stays involved. The staff is friendly and easy to deal with for appointments and billing. I highly recommend the trainers and overall facility, they are in a league of their own. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my care! read more

Several months ago, I limped into Performance with a bad back, aching hip, and a torn muscle in my arm. Stan Rutkowski took care of me instantly. He introduced me to Robert Mahlman, a physical therapist on staff who put me back in shape. The healing therapy I received was comprehensive, gentle, and totally without pain. Robert talked with me during every session, explaining in detail what he was doing, why, and how it would help my condition. And best of all, it worked. With a body that no longer ached, Robert helped me select a Personal Trainer, Raquel Fernandez, and they worked together to craft workouts for me that would strengthen my body so it can resist future injuries. Like Robert, Raquel is patient, informative, attentive, and imaginative in her training sessions. She makes working out fun. In short, I feel the staff at Performance are not only professional, but warm, friendly, and totally supportive. They certainly have my vote. read more

I've been working with Alex Shafiro for about 3 months now after having rotator cuff surgery. He and the rest of the staff at Performance have truly gone above and beyond in helping me down the road of recovery. Their scheduling and front desk staff are flexible and efficient and are great at working with my crazy schedule. The progress I've made in such a short time is a testament to Alex's expertise and patience. I've sent every member of my family to them for their various ailments and he's made sure they are well taken care of. He's been able to spot their weakness quickly and is explains the physiology behind it in easy to understand terms. The facility is recently renovated and, as a patient, I have access to their weight training area at any time to work on my at-home exercises. I highly recommend Performance for any physical health needs you may have. I actually enjoy going to physical therapy! -Jen read more

I'm a Power Lifting Athlete and Performance has been beneficial for my optimal health. The Performance staff has helped me continue what I love resolving my injuries quickly and efficiently. All of the staff is very welcoming and truly do care about you. The staff is very knowledgeable and educated me throughout my treatment process with expectations, goals, exercises and moral support. The Cryotherapy and Normatec compression boots has been vital for my recovery process with injuries but as well as when I am training. If you are worried about COVID-19 the facility is spotless and the staff is consistently cleaning all equipment and clean everything between clients. read more

I worked with Jennifer H after a bunion surgery that left me with severe nerve pain and a very stiff foot. She is extremely knowledgeable and always looking to learn the latest and best thinking around physical therapy practices. She pushes you hard to ensure you are improving as much as possible, but also listens to you and adjusts her approach when pain or other problems emerge. The facility itself is very clean, has a broad range of equipment and is well-staffed with aides so you are never left on your own to carry out exercises. With Jennifer H's guidance, I went from next-to-no mobility in my foot to a fairly functioning foot. Very happy overall. read more

This place is the real deal! I was very impressed with everyone I encountered during my experience at Performance. My doctor referred me to them following a complicated surgical procedure saying they were the best to deal with my condition. The facility is beautiful and well-equipped and my therapist, Alex, was very knowledgable on my surgical procedure and how to quickly get me back to running. I was so impressed with my therapy results that I have continued on as a personal training client. Each week I continue to see improvements. I am sure I will achieve my personal best times once I return to competition this spring. read more

My physical therapist, Rob Mahlman, is many steps above any physical therapist I've worked with before. They've been good, but Rob is stellar. He completed a residency focusing on the back after his PT training. He helped me tremendously before Covid, virtually at the peak of Covid, and then in person again. He's super conscientious, thoughtful, experienced, patient and compassionate. He regularly communicates with my physiatrist when needed and with me when needed. He broke my cycle of back pain through hands on methods and exercise programs (previous physical therapists were not successful). He's stellar. -Aryan Shayegani, MD read more

I have been to a number of PTs in the area(too many problems & I'm fit!) This place stands out for its level of personal care. My PT, Mohammed Ali was caring, tuned in, listened, explained, really paid attention to me. Here, the assistants are on the ball. They check in with their pt, know all the patients, & stay w You coaching, correcting, encouraging you through your exercises. I've never felt neglected, rushed or ignored. Made good progress. Dr & I both pleaded. Highly recommend. As a nice bonus,the receptionists are lovely & helpful & always have a smile! read more

Performance is THE BEST! Three years ago, I came to them with a shoulder injury and after weeks of physical therapy I began strength training with Dr. Alex Shafiro and later with Mike Reiner. They are both EXCELLENT; they keep my workouts challenging & interesting and bring a great deal of knowledge and humor to their practice. I just started competing in 5k races and have also worked with Dave Kell too; they are all wonderful trainers and everyone who works there is professional and friendly. read more

Went to Performance for PT on my back. Stash was superb in treating me and directing other therapists in my care. Greatly strengthened my abs to support my back. Pain reduced greatly. Love having the home exercises to continue with. Also helped with torn rotator cuff in shoulder. I have come here before and I would definitely come again. Superior PT in every dimension. Much better than several other places I have used in previous years. Molly A. read more

I can only speak very highly of Performance. I have used their services at the Westport location for physical therapy a few times in recent years post knee and ankle surgeries. Each time I have been privy to very knowledgeable and caring therapists. Everyone is courteous, well groomed, very professional, and caring for their patients well being. The gym is well equipped and immaculate. You will be hard pressed to find a better facility. Lois T. read more

I came to Performance after an ACL tear/repair. It was a long rehabilitation prognosis and I wouldn't have gone anywhere else. The knowledge of the staff and the personalized treatment plan was second to none. I was confident I would return to my active lifestyle and I did. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you to your team and a shout out to Jo for the referral! -Erin S. read more

Jacquie and Stash are great therapists and always attentive to my progress. They have worked on my shoulder for the past 2 surgeries and I have regained strength and range of motion only because they and their support staff of aides are always watching and making sure I am doing stretches and exercises correctly. Great staff! I highly recommend this company. read more

I have been a patient at performance on and off since 2014. I've had three back surgeries and several ruptured discs in the cervical spine. Stash and staff are remarkably competent, caring and accommodating. They always find a way to get you the care you need, even if they have to adjust their hours. I wouldn't be able to live the life I do without them. read more
