After undergoing a rotator surgery to the shoulder I couldn't have been luckier to find this group of physical therapists.

I would without a doubt recommend this office for those in need of physical therapy, you will indeed know you have found the right place as soon as you walk in the door. Again Dave, thank you for helping me......Sincerely Jim

I achieved excellent range of motion early in my therapy. Kassi had a great plan for me. My surgeon was very impressed with my results at my 2 week follow up.

I have recovered very nicely, and I attribute most of that to the team at Absolute Performance in Grimes!

I've had to use this business as part of recovery from 2 different shoulder surgeries. I really…read moreappreciate the personal attention I received and the follow up and after care. I really felt like Jon, the owner and therapist cared about my recovery and getting me back to my performance goals. Though his business also houses a massage therapist (that I also recommend) and a personal trainer, he treats 1 patient at a time and uses a variety of tools and equipment to deliver high quality care. I find that he is also very responsive to scheduling requests and tries to be as accommodating as possible. I highly recommend seeking treatment at optimum performance for all types from youth athletes to injury or surgical recovery.

Our son has worked with Jon at Optimum Performance Physical Therapy on a couple different occasions…read moreto help him recover quickly and safely from triathlon and swimming injuries. Most recently, our son did something to his shoulder during this year's high school swim season...this took him out of the water for 5-6 weeks because he could not lift his arm in certain motions or swim his workouts without significant pain in his shoulder. He was evaluated by a couple different orthopedic doctors, both of whom thought our son tore his labrum in his shoulder...a condition that often results in surgery to fix the problem, with several months plus of rehab after the surgery. Getting this news right at the start of swim season was devastating, to say the least. We did a special MRI of the shoulder joint, and upon evaluating that, it was discovered that there was no tear of his labrum!! Great news, however, our son was still having tremendous pain with certain common movements of his arm, shoulder and even pushing down with his hand at times. We opted to get a steroid shot into that inflamed area of the shoulder joint space and to start extensive physical therapy in order to try to get our son back in the water, as he REALLY wanted his high school swim season and was super frustrated and defeated by this setback. Jon was our "go to" guy for these sessions of physical therapy. His hours worked best with our son's hectic schedule and we trusted him from working with him for past injuries. Plus, you just can't beat Jon's professionalism, compassion and genuine interest he takes in you as a client, but more so, just as a person. Jon was able to work 2-3 times a week on our son to try to get him back to functioning without pain and back to swimming. Jon simply went above and beyond by trying different things and exercises on him...he even loaned us a piece of strength training equipment to help get our son's shoulder stronger. I'm happy to report, with Jon's help, our son was able to get back in the water for the later portion his high school swim season. He ended up having to switch gears physically (and mentally) to sprinting events instead of his usual distance events, because of not being able to swim longer distances due to shoulder and arm fatigue. However, even with the event changes and mental changes that went on, our son ended up qualifying for State in all four of his events!! We didn't know if he would be able to get back in the water this year when all these shoulder issues started happening, let alone make it to State. Our son even ended up being part of a relay team for his school that broke a 22 year old school record!! So exciting!! BIG THANKS to Jon at Optimum Performance for supporting him and not giving up on him in the process...and of course, for helping us avoid shoulder surgery, too!! We appreciate everything that was done and highly recommend Jon's work and expertise.
