Paradigm Performance Therapy

Fantastic experience: I have been struggling for a month with limited mobility and flexibility due to lower back pain. I knew how much Sean and Colleen have helped my son, grandson, and granddaughter so when I knew I was going to be in Wilmington (I’m from Tennessee), I decided to see if they could help me. Best decision ever! I now have less pain, more movement, and have been taught exercises and stretches to do daily to help keep me that way. PPT is the BEST!!!

Fantastic experience: Sean and Colleen are fantastic at their craft. After going to Sean for a couple weeks the hip pain I was having is gone and I am able to activate my glutes. The best part is they create a workout/recovery program that you can follow on your own and provide you with the knowledge of your injury. The Wilmington area is lucky to have such amazing physical therapist's

Fantastic experience: Sean is top-notch!! Unlike other PTs I've worked with, Sean not only treats the injury that brings you in, but also focuses on correcting the root problem--which is really the most important part. Working with Sean, I have learned how to train smarter and take better care of my body to prevent future injury. Thanks Sean!

Fantastic experience: Before I started going to Dr Sean and Dr Colleen I was constantly having bad lower back pain. Thanks to their programming, they were able to work with me to help erase my pain completely. They are flexible, personable and make you feel like family every time you walk in. Not only do they help you feel better now, but they help teach you how to stay pain free for the future.

Fantastic experience: Both Dr. Colleen and Dr. Sean are professionals that care about you and your goals. I am recovering from 2 total knee replacements in 2022. I was walking and hitting goals but I wasn't happy with my progress. I spoke with Dr. Colleen and told her that I should be having better balance than I have with 2 new knees. One was a year out from surgery and 7 months out from the other one. She was able to diagnose what was wrong and came up with a plan to make it better. I would highly recommend Paradigm Therapy to anyone looking for a caring physical therapist.

Fantastic experience: I have chronic low back pain from an injury 20 years ago that required surgery on my spine at the L4-L5 level. I experienced a new onset of symptoms that were severe enough to have impacted my mobility and caused numbness down my right leg. I was lucky enough to have been referred to Dr. Sean Rollo for an evaluation and I can honestly say it was one of the most professional and extensive meetings I’ve ever had. He does a thorough examination paying close attention to detail and asks many questions in an attempt to understand what happened and how you may have gotten there. His approach to caring for you is individualistic and catered to your specific needs. Working with Dr. Sean’s vast knowledge, clinical experience, and keen insight has me back to my pre-injury status!! Our goal now is to reduce my chronic low back pain and get me strong so I can live a healthy, pain free lifestyle. I was treated with such respect by not only Dr. Sean, but his wife and partner Dr. Colleen as well. What an uplifting and encouraging team they both make. I truly could not recommend them enough to anyone who may require physical therapy now or in the future.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about the quality of physical therapy Dr Colleen Rollo has provided me over the last 10 years. She is the only Physical Therapist I will see. Colleen has positively contributed to my speedy road to recovery for 2 rotator cuff operations, a reverse shoulder replacement, Achilles heel reattachment, and sciatica. When you are with her you get 100% of her uninterrupted attention. She does it all from manual therapy, needling and cupping. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I’m actually a PT going to these awesome PTs to help me fix my chronic shoulder, back and hip pain. I’m pretty particular about who I would work with- if I didn’t do anything about my mobility restrictions for over eight years, I wasn’t going to trust or believe in just anyone to help me fix it. I wanted a specific, individualized plan that incorporated advanced manual therapy, dry needling, and specifically tailored exercise into every session; that’s exactly why I chose to work with Sean and Colleen- Sean adapts every single session based on what has changed that particular week. I didn’t think I’d ever be able to raise my arms overhead again- It’s only been four weeks, I can fully raise both arms without pain and we’re already moving on to the next goal. If you let them help you and follow through with the work, it works. You won’t regret it, you’ll only regret waiting too long to let Colleen and Sean help you get back to everything you want to do pain-free.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sean and Dr. Colleen are absolutely wonderful. I went in for lower back pain and they helped find the root cause of the pain. They were very thorough with teaching me every stretch and workout to help me gain back the strength in my lower back; and helped me to understand what other areas were affected and why. After one session I could already feel a difference. If you have pain I would absolutely recommend going to see them!

Fantastic experience: These physical therapists are not just physical therapists, they ARE FAMILY! Dr. Sean and Dr. Colleen Rollo always keep their athletes as their number one priority. They are both very knowledgeable in their craft and stay on top of checking in with their athletes. I am a high level competing CrossFit athlete and their exercises have proved beneficial in fixing my movement patterns and positions. If you want to improve your quality of movement, then look no further. You get your money’s worth and well beyond when you start your journey with Paradigm Performance PT!

Fantastic experience: Sean is an excellent PT and has helped me get back to my very active lifestyle mostly pain free! After years of disappointing PT experiences and disregard from doctors I have solutions for my back/hip pain. Thanks to ParadigmPT I have been able to go from struggling to manage my pain to excelling in my very active career. I highly recommend them, and will continue to use their services to maintain my health

Fantastic experience: I have had 3 years of chronic ankle pain from an ankle fracture that never healed right or got proper care. I spent 3 years limping constantly, unable to run or jump, experiencing severe pain when standing or walking for more than an hour at a time. All this pain I've dealt with since 19 years old and I can now proudly say at 21 that everything that caused me pain before and all the things I couldn't do I now can and it's all thanks to Sean. I've been to pt before around a year after my injury and saw no improvement and felt over looked by my own Physical Therapist. Paradigm Performance Therapy is the polar opposite, they focus solely on you and your issues, I never had anyone look at my ankle so closely as Sean did at my 1st evaluation. He spent an hour looking closely at not just my ankle and it's flexibility but at how it affected how I stood, walked, and moved. And I have seen serious improvement since I started with my program and could not be happier. If you are ever experiencing issues that hold you back and feel like you haven't found any solutions then I urge you to go to Paradigm Performance Therapy because I garentee the care and attention you will receive there will far outrank any other place. Sean and Colleen are extremely knowledgeable and experienced and are 100% focused on caring about their patients and their injuries. I could not have found anybody better to help me especially when I was at the point of giving up. Sean and Colleen, thank you guys so much I would not have gotten anywhere without you're help and your dedication!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Paradigm Performance Therapy to everyone in the Wilmington area! Both Drs Colleen and Sean Rollo are experts in their field. Experiencing severe back pain I was referred to Dr Colleen Rollo by my daughter and after a thorough examination and a session, Colleen suggested I get an MRI. The results showed severe left foraminal stenosis and other issues. This was the accurate diagnosis Colleen had given me! At each appointment we discuss any problems and Colleen adjusts and adds movements and exercises. She is very careful to explain and to demonstrate and takes time to insure they are executed correctly. Working with Colleen during appointments and at home with her recommended exercises , I have made an amazing improvement and am virtually pain free. As an added bonus attending appointments are delightful and uplifting.

Fantastic experience: After ~2.5 months of work, I've appreciably improved my range of motion and strength and deceased my susceptibility to pain and fatigue. Paradigm Performance Therapy is like retirement savings for your physical longevity. If you'd like to arm yourself against injury, go see Drs. Sean and Colleen.

Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend Paradigm. They’ve helped me with a shoulder impingement, rehab from a knee injury, and just general flexibility and mobility issues after a lifetime of injuries from playing hard. Go see them you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Sean and Colleen are AMAZING!! They have provided me with excellent care, always listening to my concerns, and make sure I am getting the best treatment. HIGHLY recommended!!

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Sean and Paradigm by a friend and sports coach. I had hurt my hamstring in June at track practice and was not healing from services provided to me by another provider. I love to run, swim and strength train, but I was regressing not progressing. I went to Sean and started noticing a difference in my hamstring after a couple of visits and his detailed daily stretch and strength plan. A few more visits and I am pain free, stronger and moving better than I have in years. I am on my 7th visit and now I am becoming a better athlete. Sean’s stretch and strength plans give you time to get used to the movements and progress rather quickly. I have become much more flexible and I have added increased resistance to my strength routine. I highly recommend Paradigm to anyone with a sports injury and or anyone who wants to become a better you and athlete.

Fantastic experience: Best decision ever. I went in for help rehabbing a torn left calf and after our first visit, Dr. Colleen knew my entire left side was a hot mess... and totally related to the calf. I haven't slept on my left side in over a year. But after a few sessions, I was doing just that and pain free. Amazing. Each session is different and tailored just for me. I had no idea I was as tight as I was. After a few more sessions I noticed my running, biking and swimming was getting better. My legs, knees and hips felt so good. Even the group I run with noticed a change. I feel stronger and actually see and feel the difference each week. She knows exactly what i need and develops a plan for me to work on at home. Everything is personalized. On top of it all, Dr. Colleen is awesome, so is Shawn, and their dogs sometimes come to work.

Fantastic experience: I was so uncomfortable with my sciatica. I couldn’t do anything without pain. My wife suggested Dr. Sean for help. I’m glad she did, my pain is gone and I feel stronger. The facility is very open and clean. Dr. Sean explained each step and gave me more information on the how and why I was doing something. Each session Dr. Sean added exercises with instructions in a format that makes it extremely easy to follow and continue towards your goal. I would highly recommend Paradigm Performance Therapy for anyone seeking any type of physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: Paradigm Performance Therapy is the best of the best. I’ve been working with Sean for a couple months now for some hip/low back pain and have seen some real improvement. He takes the time to look at the whole picture instead of focusing on one small part of the problem. With some hands on therapy and personalized exercises to work on at home, I am feeling better and stronger with each session. I would recommend Sean and Colleen to anyone, hands down!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Paradigm Performance. Hands down the best physical therapists in the game! I tore my ACL and had a pretty invasive surgery. I was powerlifting and worried I'd be unable to get back into it, or even have confidence in my knee again. I'm currently learning better powerlifting form, doing plyometrics, and improving my strength and mobility. I've started swimming and horseback riding with confidence, and because of their one-on-one coaching/physical therapy sessions, I'm building back my foundation and seeing massive results! I couldn't be happier with my time here.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 amazing. I sustained an neck injury that limited my mobility, caused me around the clock pain, migraines, and severely restricted my day-to-day activities. Drs Colleen and Sean are absolutely wonderful, caring, and engaged in prioritizing care. They also are welcoming of all body types and made me feel comfortable. They fully customize programs to address the issues you are experiencing. Dr. Colleen helped provide me with pain relief and worked with me to repair the injury and strengthen my upper body. The therapy she provided allowed me to regain movement, live with less pain, and substantially relieved migraines.

Fantastic experience: Sean & Colleen are top notch, truly. They dedicate a lot of time and passion into their work and we clients just benefit from it. I can’t recommend them enough to get you moving pain free & using all the muscles and stabilizers you should be!

Fantastic experience: I would absolutely recommend Sean to anyone looking for assistance in recovering from injury or improving performance. I was extremely impressed with how thorough he was in the assessment stage of treatment, how thoroughly he answered my questions and explained exercises, and how much he personalized treatments to my situation. Along with addressing my initial issue of knee pain from running, I also gained flexibility and strength I didn't know I was missing.

Fantastic experience: Sean and Colleen are the real deal! With and old college ACL injury that has caused issues in movement and strength, I’ve struggled for over a year to feel relief. Didn’t take Sean but a couple of weeks to not only relieve pain but also build strength. I truly believe that Sean and Colleen don’t just build clientele. They build family and intentionally care for and get to know each person that they work with. I’m so thankful for their expertise in the field of physical therapy as well as their care for people.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Colleen and Dr. Sean have created an amazing environment at Paradigm Performance Therapy that focuses not only on recovery, but also living an overall pain free, healthy life. Dr. Colleen has helped me physically and emotional through a frustrating SI injury. My injury caused daily pain, discomfort, and hindered me from activity. Colleen immediately found the root of the problem and after a few months of therapy and homework, I am pain free and move better than before. I am so thankful to both Dr. Colleen and Dr. Sean for helping me through my injury. I highly recommend Paradigm Performance Therapy to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: Paradigm Performance Therapy is simply Outstanding! Dr Sean has provided hands on therapy and treatment/rehab programs to not only heal some chronic issues but to build me back better and stronger. As an athlete I appreciate his knowledge and expertise where our needs are concerned. I can’t recommend Paradigm enough!!!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Colleen at Paradigm Performance to relieve back and shoulder pain. After assessing said issues, she developed a treatment plan including manual therapy and strength training exercises to do during my appointments and at home. I could tell a difference just after one session, and looked forward to my follow up PT appointments to work with Colleen, as she was super engaging, energetic, and supportive. She and her husband, Sean, are both incredibly knowledgable and personable, making the entire experience comfortable. I'd highly recommend working with Paradigm for any physical therapy related services!!

Fantastic experience: Drs. Colleen and Sean are amazing. I have had PT in one other private practice years ago, and in a more clinical setting recently and this experience couldn’t be more different in the best way. I worked directly with Colleen but was able to see Sean with clients due the the space and they share the same qualities - they are thorough, truly experts in their field, invested in their clients outcomes, AND as a bonus they are real, fun people. I was evaluated, eased out of pain, and given a plan to build strength and stop the cycle I had been in, and I’m so glad I made the investment in myself with Colleen. 10/10, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Colleen is amazing!!! I have been seeing her for a painful hip issue and after two sessions I was walking without limping and able to properly walk up stairs. I am now pain free and regaining muscle strength. Dr. Colleen is smart, articulate, FUN, positive and compassionate. Her treatments and sessions are very creative and will push you hard to achieve your final goal. I would give 10 stars if possible.....she is the BEST! I highly recommend her and Paradigm Performance Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Best PTs in Wilmington! Dr. Sean did a full and comprehensive assessment on me. He identified my strengths and weaknesses as an athlete and built a individualized program to address both. Whenever I have questions, he goes into full detail explaining everything from the scientific basis of what my question is about, to what current research says, and how he is applying that concept to me. I recommend all athletes I encounter to go and give them a visit!

Fantastic experience: Sean was exactly what I needed as a football player trying to recover from multiple injuries. He was able to alleviate my pain while strengthening my weak points all in relation to my sport. I can confidently say that Sean Rollo is the best in the business. Unbelievable experience!!

Fantastic experience: After an MCL rupture and 2 reconstructive surgeries, I was showing little to no improvement at my "Ortho prescribed" physical therapist. In a rather serendipitous encounter, I met Sean at the gym, where he noticed I was still not able to run - 15 months after my injury. In just 5 sessions, I feel stronger than ever. Sean has a very methodical approach to recovery - breaks down the root of your issues and builds you back up with a detailed, user-friendly regiment. Be prepared to put in the work, but it's difficult not to with the unrelenting motivation and dedication that Sean has for his patient's recovery. Stay tuned for another 5-star review after my next 5 sessions!

Fantastic experience: First, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE INJURED to work with Paradigm. I knew that I wanted to work with Paradigm because they had done workshops at our gym, and I knew that I was not moving efficiently in certain areas. But, I put it off until I was training for a run and injured my knee. Dr. Colleen got me in ASAP, did a full evaluation of my movement patterns and relieved the pain. I ran the race with no pain and have been working with her since to improve my movement patterns. We now work on activating and strengthening some extremely underused muscle groups. Dr. Colleen is very attentive and caring and knows how to push you to progress when you are ready. She also provides a detailed plan of movements to work on between visits and is available to answer any questions that you may have. I have had too many WINS and PRs since working with Dr.Colleen to count! And on the rare occasion that I have tweaked something while working out or something just doesn’t feel right, Dr. Colleen has always made herself available for me to be seen. Dr. Colleen and Dr. Sean really do believe in fixing the root cause of movement issues. Working with them has been the best investment that I have made in myself in a long time. Again, DON'T WAIT!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best Physical Therapy practice in town! This wonderful duo is a true gift & ray of sunshine to our community. Dr. Colleen has been amazing in helping me with my knees & these weak ankles. She truly cares about her patients & takes the time to understand the root cause of your issues & then creates the best targeted & customized programs that help provide lasting results! If you’re looking for real customized & personalized care these guys are IT!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Colleen and Dr. Sean have a great passion for what they do. I was fortunate enough to meet them through a health and wellness partnership back in September, and have been trusting their expertise ever since. They truly take the time to pinpoint problem areas and provide individualized care programs and constant communication to ensure their patients see improvements in symptoms and performance. Set up your evaluation visit with them, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sean is the man. After 6 months of pain and frustration from a work injury to the lower back, I worked with Sean for several months. The experience has been great, he helped me have the first pain free squats and deadlift that I've had since early summer time. If you listen to him and put in the work, it will help you! Sean is one of the most attentive and caring individuals I've worked with in the medical field.

Fantastic experience: First class service. After meeting Dr Sean and Dr Colleen at a shoulder clinic I instantly liked their energy and their drive to spread knowledge. They truly put the “why” behind what they do! I have worked with Dr Sean for several weeks now for a knee injury . His knowledge and eye for detail has really helped me improve my mobility and remove the pain. Couldn’t ask for a better team of Drs to help me get back into action! And Dr Colleen’s playlists are the best in town!!

Fantastic experience: Paradigm is hands down the best physical therapy service I have ever experienced. Dr. Colleen & Dr. Sean are both very compassionate & knowledgeable, & really take the time to listen to you about your pain/issue you are experiencing. They identify the root cause and really work to relieve your pain first & they are very good at it. It was a huge relief for me the second I walked in and got started with Dr Colleen. She really understood my issue and went about it in a very detailed and personalized way. Also they are always there for you along the way if you ever need anything or have questions. On top of that they are both really cool, down to earth people & their positivity & kindness really makes a difference. I couldn’t be more satisfied & am very thankful for them!

Fantastic experience: I came to see the PT for back and shoulder pain on separate occasions. Both times, Sean not only addressed my pain immediately and provided relief so I could return to normal daily activities but provided me with excellent return to performance programs that built progressively as I recovered. The exercises could be done at home, in a gym, or really anywhere convenient for me. Overall, I can't recommend Sean and his team enough as they helped me return to pushing myself athletically both safely and as quickly as possible. I will absolutely visit Sean again in the future!

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Dr. Colleen when I had a muscle injury from a workout I did and she was so great that I signed up for additional sessions with her. She was able to identify the pain, relieve the discomfort in just 3 days, and taught me ways on how to prevent similar injuries in the future. Not only is Dr. Colleen super knowledgeable about the body, but she is extremely personable and I felt so comfortable with her - I bonded with her very quickly and now consider her a friend. She continues to work with me on several other muscle areas, showing me a plethora of stretching exercises, as well as correcting my form on some of the exercises I do regularly. Super thankful for PPT and I look forward to learning more ways to protect my body during my workouts!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Colleen is attentive and knowledgeable. I started therapy with her when I noticed my routine of boxing and lifting weights was leaving me trap-dominant. I was already trying to work on my posture but I had big knots on my traps that were holding me back. We nipped those real quick with dry needling and cupping. Sounds scary but you’ll know what to expect- Dr. Colleen is super thorough and manages expectations so well! It was Instant relief (10/10 recommend!) I am now super confident my form is on point when I am exercising and I have a comprehensive custom routine by Dr. Colleen that has greatly improved my flexibility, strength and recovery.

Fantastic experience: Truly a professional and wonderful man. I have been seeing Sean for a variety of injuries and physical problems. With his knowledge and experience, he has helped me recover and rebuild many issues I have been dealing with for some time. Allowing me to get back on track and stronger than before. Aside from this I have known Sean for a few years and he is more than a physical therapist but also a good friend. You will not only be working with a clinician who is highly educated and an expert in their field, but also someone who is passionate about their craft and always striving to do what is best for their patients. They have done it right with Paradigm. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Deserves more than 5 stars! I hope you read this review. I’ve had 3 separate surgeries on my knee and have worked with many PTs over the years. I was fortunate to have worked with Sean during recovery after my 3rd surgery, as well as through shoulder and lower back problems. Somehow my body is still in good working order and I can thank Sean for his attention and dedication to my recovery. I can confidently say that I’ve never received better care.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Colleen and Dr. Sean of Paradigm are first class practitioners and amazing people. They simultaneously treated me for a hip and shoulder injury that have been lingering for close to two years and as an active person who enjoys strength training and long weekend walks, I was not willing to settle for mediocre. Within a couple of weeks I noticed a difference and Dr. Colleen has me progressing my performance and rehab exercises with my long term goals in mind. They take the time to get to know your history, current situation, and goals, and educate you along the way so you have a solid understanding of how to heal and strengthen your body. No question is too big or small.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sean and Dr. Colleen are a truly gifts to our community. As an athlete, they spend time getting to understand the root cause of pain and performance issues, and create targeted, customized programs that have lasting results. They are patient and meticulous about proper form and good movement, and ensure that I’m doing everything the right way in my rehab programs. I feel confident referring my athletes at Essential CrossFit to them because I know they’ll get my people back up and running full speed!

Fantastic experience: I met Colleen and Sean at a 9Round member event and haven’t looked back since! I have been visiting their awesome studio for around 4 weeks now and am seeing a big difference in my strength and range of motion. I have tried both dry needling and cupping which has helped the process move smoothly as I am able to get deeper into my movements and continue with less tightening than before. The atmosphere and attention to detail is above and beyond. Highly suggest you give them a try!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Colleen is both compassionate and knowledgeable. After a few weeks of working with her, my running related hip and knee pain was greatly improved. She customizes every session to ensure my progress continues and my core stability and overall strength are improved.

Fantastic experience: I can't Recommend Sean enough as a PT. Sean has not only been able to treat the acute injury to my leg, but also been able to help address chronic issues with ROM and Pain that I didn't think I would be able to get back. The Paradigm performance Therapy in general makes you feel like family, sending messages and continues to adaptive treatments plans for individuals weekly. PT with Sean is fun and entertaining all while getting some serious work done each session. I highly recommend setting up a screening with them.

Fantastic experience: First class service and care. I have been seeing Sean for a running injury and he has helped me not only recover, but rebuild from the ground up, allowing me to get back on track even stronger than before. Aside from this I have known Colleen and Sean for several years. You will not only be working with a clinician who is highly educated and an expert in their field, but also someone who is passionate about their craft and always striving to do what is best for their patients. They have done it right with Paradigm. Highly recommended.
