I came to Performance Physical Therapy to rehab a surgically reconstructed ACL that I tore while skiing. My first appointment after surgery I was unable to complete the exercises set forth in the standard post ACL rehab plan. Without hesitation, Meghan quickly reworked my plan and got my knee moving using a different approach. Through out my entire physical therapy course she proved to be extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and determined to get me back to my pre surgery range of motion. She knew when to push me through the pain to strengthen my knee but also knew the difference when something wasn't quite right and referred me back to my surgeon. Meghan reworked my therapy regimen at every visit to ensure it was appropriate for how I was progressing. Even when I wouldn't tell her, she knew exactly which exercises were getting too easy and which were a little too difficult. After I completed my therapy course, my surgeon was extremely impressed with my mobility and range of motion. I scored in the 96th percentile for post ACL repair mobility. All of the staff I encountered at PPT was amazing. They all knew my name and made it a point to ask me how I was doing that day, even if they were not working with me. They took me in and treated me like family, which makes all the difference when you are experiencing the pain of rehabbing an injury. They truly were able to take a life altering injury and rehab me to a place where I am stronger now than I was before my injury. I would highly recommend PPT to anyone who needs therapy! read more

If you're wondering whether physical therapy will help you, you should call Performance Physical Therapy and set up an appointment with them. They will help you get better. I was in a car accident and my constant neck and back pain kept getting worse, but I delayed in getting physical therapy because my work hours were crazy (2 jobs) and because I heard from so many people that it wouldn't help. Well, those nay-sayers were wrong and with Performance Physical Therapy's two different locations and extended hours of operation, I was able to fit 3 appointments a week into a very full work schedule. After a couple of months of treatment, I improved to where I was discharged to a home exercise plan. My physical therapist was Taylor Aiger, and she is fantastic! She really listened to me and carefully worked with me at my pace, and modified my program regularly to move me forward. Everyone who works there is friendly, kind, and professional. The Hockessin location is larger, but the Foulk Road location is just as good. The people here can help you no matter why you need physical therapy; they have clients there of all ages and with many different needs. I very highly recommend them!! read more

A year ago, I was referred to physical therapy for a knee problem. I chose Steve at Performance Physical Therapy because he had help me resolve a previous problem. During the course of treatment for my knee, I mentioned that I had osteoporosis and wanted to know if he had any recommendations. He then introduced me to a custom program specifically to address osteoporosis. After treatment for my knee problem which resolved and learning the program for osteoporosis, I was able to follow this specific regiment at my own fitness center. Steve was very confident that if I followed this program diligently for 1 year, I would see an improvement in my bone density...and that is what happened. A year later, my bone density results indicated a "significant improvement in bone mineral density of bilateral hips" vs a "significant decrease in bone mineral density of bilateral hips" the previous year. I also had a slight improvement in my spinal bone mineral density. I went from the osteoporosis range to the osteopenia range. This was without taking any prescribed medication for osteoporosis. I am very grateful to Steve for introducing me to this fitness program which I will continue to follow. read more

In Feb. 2012, I broke my right tibia in a ski accident. I was on crutches for 12 weeks. PPT was recommended by my orthopedic surgeon. I met Steve on my first visit and was impressed by the friendly, knowledgeable staff. I worked with Meghan for most of my remaining 29 visits, most of which were used to breakup scar tissue and improve flexibility. With Meghan's help, I was able to bend my leg 90 degrees. I thought I was healed! Off to work I went for the next 2.5 years. I assumed my leg muscles would eventually return. They didn't. In Dec 2014, I returned to PPT for a checkup. Meghan measured my right leg at 52% of my left leg. In was 50% in June 2012. I signed up for PT again, determined to get my strength back. Over these past 3 months, I always looked forward to PT. Meghan and Tim are great to work with. With their challenges and "extra credit", I was able to return to the ski slopes 3 years to the day of my accident. It is nice to see a staff so dedicated to their patients. I wish continued success to Meghan, Tim, and the rest of the staff at PPT. Thank you for all your help and encouragement. Thank you, Jim Maddox read more

I couldn't have put a better team together than the staff here at PPTF! As an employee- I truly feel this is where I will be retiring from in 20+ years. The staff here are all genuinely the most intelligent, hardworking and maintain the highest level of professionalism while being very caring to the patients and co-workers. Everyone goes out of their way not only for our patients but co-workers as well. I TRULY enjoy going to work each day. When my family members ask how work is going, my response is always the same "I'm working at my dream job, doing what I love with the best staff & patients anyone could ever dream of!" I'm truly lucky to be here with them. Everyday I feel our team gets stronger, we strive to be the best, and even better than the best the very next day. We will never be satisfied, each day is an opportunity to do more for our patients and do it even more efficiently. I would send anyone of my family members here for PT without hesitation. read more

Over the years I have been using Performance Physical Therapy (PPT) exclusively for my physical therapy needs until a shiny brand new physical therapy practice opened in the area and beckoned like an ice cream sundae on a hot summer's day. I swallowed hook line and sinker, called the "new guy on the block" made an appointment and after my first visit, knew I had made a huge mistake. Needless to say, I returned to PPT where they welcomed and evaluated me with their usual expertise, kindness and compassion. After one visit I knew I was back home and walked away with less back pain than I have had in two months. PPT always asks questions, listens, thinks and because of their high level of expertise and experience always, without fail, manages to bring me back to pain free full functionality. Thank you PPT for your commitment to excellence. An ice cream sundae sure tastes good, but being pain free....well, that's the cherry on top! read more

I have been a patient at Performance Physical Therapy for the past 2.5 months to be treated after an ankle fracture. The staff at Performance Physical Therapy is absolutely amazing and truly cares about their patients. Heena Patel was very attentive to my overall goals and did an excellent job designing and explaining the plan for my recovery. She is very knowledgeable and provided an abundant number of exercises that addressed all weaknesses of my leg/ankle. Additionally, Heena is very friendly and a lot of fun to work with! I also spent several sessions working with Sean Ruane and Julianne Wood, who were very knowledgeable as well! I worked with numerous aids at Performance Physical Therapy and every single one was extremely personable and very encouraging. My overall experience was great and I would absolutely recommend Performance Physical Therapy!!! read more

I had a total knee replacement in December 2016, and looked for PT services for followup. My surgeon, my family doctor and my neighbor all recommended Performance Physical Therapy. In my first visit to their offices in Hockessin, I was greeted warmly by staff, and introduced to Amanda, my assigned therapist. Amanda (and all the staff) were great! It really was like a group of friends who were helping me through my rehab. I liked the individual rooms for therapy instead of a huge room filled with tables for patients. It was such a good experience, and helpful to regaining my strength and mobility, that I never missed an appointment. Here I am 2-1/2 months later feeling better and much more mobile! Thanks to you all. read more

I am an Emergency Physician with 30 years experience. I am also quite active and tend to bully through most aches and pains. However, when time, rest and ibuprofen failed to ease my back pain, I turned to Performance Physical Therapy. My evaluation by John Bradley was thorough and his plan of care was laser focused for my issues. His approach included the usual stretches and strengthening exercises, with excellent communication, both verbal and written, with other providers involved in my care. He personally re-examined me each visit and made adjustments in my care plan. I had improvement almost immediately. I always felt like the whole team was on board to get me back (no pun intended!) in the saddle as soon as possible. read more

I am a former patient of PPT. I have had several sports injuries and one injury related to a fall. The Therapists at PPT are professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. Getting results is that allow patients to get back to their sports activities as well as spending quality time with family is their goal. Treatment is private and care plans are individualized according to each patient and are encouraged to continue once discharged. The staff at PPT makes you feel like family with the first visit to the last visit. I was able to get back on the tennis court without hesitation, concern or pain. Great experience. I highly recommend PPT for all of your Physical Therapy and Training needs. read more

I recently had full right knee replacement and started with Performance Physical Therapy just two days out from surgery. Amanda Vito is my PT and she is terrific, gentle and smart! She knows just how far to "push" me to get the best results. She is incredible! Also, the PT techs, Matt, Kerri, and Lynette are fantastic. They are kind, patient and attentive to my level of ability. Even the staff at the front desk is top notch! Prior to my surgery, I had PT at another company and while they were adequate, Performance Physical Therapy is superior in every dimension including the physical equipment and space. I would definitely recommend Performance Physical Therapy to anyone in need of PT. read more

After reviewing an X-ray my orthopedic doctor diagnosed my shoulder pain as calcific tendonitis and recommended physical therapy. I went back to Performance Physical Therapy because they had helped me before with another issue. My outcome was great - immediate pain reduction. John Bradley and Amanda Vito completely explained what we needed to do and answered all my questions during the therapy period. I walked out feeling much better and with a maintenance plan for me to follow to continue the healing process. All my visits started on time. The office did a nice job sending me appointment reminders. The facility is very nice with convenient parking. All the staff was very helpful. read more

I have been very happy with the help I received at PPT and I highly recommend them. Amanda and Heena were very helpful in helping me with my lower back and leg pain. They helped me manage my pain, strengthen my muscles and eventually transition to a home exercise program. I always felt comfortable and confident with their care. The entire staff at PPT were professional and friendly. I especially appreciated their ability to accommodate my work schedule with evening hours. I was able to change appointment times when conflicts arose without hassle. I left PPT with a home program I can continue and the piece of mind that they are only a call away if I have any questions. read more

Performance Physical Therapy, located in Hockessin De., has exceeded all my expectations in the rehabilitation of my knee after knee replacement surgery. My knee was behind in rehab due to extended hospitalization. The Performance staff was technically sound, but must important showed warmth, compassion, and a very caring attitude.In fact, I looked forward to my physical therapy because the staff was so nice and very professional. I am nearing the end of my physical therapy and will miss working with their staff as my knee as responded to their excellent treatment plan and personal care. I strongly recommend their services.

I chose Performance Physical Theraphy on the recommendation of my primary Doctor. I find it to be the best fit for my pt needs and worth the drive from Newark. The staff is friendly and courteous and the facilities are great, with private rooms for the clients. But what makes the difference for me from another PT that I used in the past is the attention I receive during my session. There is always someone knowledgeable to guide me through my exercise and to monitor how I am doing each one to ensure that I am doing each correctly. I appreciate the private rooms, too. read more

I have been coming to Performance for physical therapy for almost 2 months. The staff are very nice and personable, they remember your name from day one. Every visit is centered around you and how you are feeling at the time. Everyone listens and they spend time helping you to develop the best routine for you and help with adjustments as needed. As a nurse I can not express how pleased I am, as a patient I want to thank everyone for such a great job you do and thank you for helping me to move again! I will recommend Performance Physical Therapy to everyone! read more

After 6 years of pain caused by multiple right side fractures, I found relief at PPT & F. Steve Rapposelli found, during a period of Physical Training, the stretching and exercises that made a huge difference. I now am fortunate to have Matthew Phifer as my trainer. He has been able to continue the progress and improve my balance tremendously. I no longer need to use a cane. I am forever grateful to the two of them for the wonderful results and for supporting such a cheerful atmosphere! I look forward to many years with PPT & F. Lois Parke read more

I've used PPT several times now and have had mostly very positive experiences. I worked with Julianne Wood most recently and had a very positive experience. She listened, modified the regimen as my condition improved and then changed again due to an accident, and provided me with some long-term exercises. I'd certainly recommend her to others. The assistants that worked with me some of the time also were excellent, while adhering to Julianne's instructions, with good communication between them all. A very friendly and committed group of staff. read more

I was recommended by an acquaintance and it was close to home. I had my initial consulation on my lower back issues with John and after 4 weeks of three weekly sessions I was back to functioning normally. Can't say enough good things about how caring and attentive John and the entire staff was and how noticable the progrss was from the exercise regiment that was provide to me. The other hugh plus was the great hours that were available for my appointments. As a busy profession I was able to get in at 6:40 am for each session. DPJ read more
