Peak Fitness & Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: Peak Fitness is fantastic! I’ve seen three of their providers and all were kind, highly effective, patient, and fun to work with. Allie and Allison helped me return to running from barely being able to air squat due to a knee injury. Can’t recommend Peak highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Allison is the best! Highly recommend. If you have big post-partum exercise goals, she's the best person to see. I have also seen her for various sport-related injuries, and she has cured them all including some mysterious joint pain that a doctor and MRI couldn't figure out but she did!

Fantastic experience: Saundra Brogan Is very professional. She focuses on one area at a time, so I do not overdo my physical limitations. This method allows me to progress, step-by-step, and from one area to another in a very satisfying manner. I am suffering less from all of my problems (Left leg, discrepancy, curve spine, psoriatic arthritis, compressed disc’s, and Sciatica). I’m working towards not needing back surgery. :)

Fantastic experience: Peak is the #1 support in Chattanooga for injury recovery and prevention. I have depended on Allison Stowers and her team for years. They know what they are doing, are personalized with their patient care, and share the knowledge with the patient in a way they can understand.

Fantastic experience: Allison with Peak is absolutely the best sports recovery Physical Therapist in Chattanooga! She has gotten me through more injuries than I like to admit. Her new location at Crux is perfect! I can get my PT in as well as my workout with the instructions for my recovery fresh in my mind.

Fantastic experience: Marie worked to get me rehabilitated after an injury lasting 7 years. I have been through physical therapy 3 times for the same thing and she was able to see it from a different perspective to get me healing. I am forever thankful for Marie and her healing abilities.

Fantastic experience: Meghan was my therapist and was amazing! She is very knowledgeable, explains everything thoroughly, listens well, and is patient and kind. Could not ask for anything more!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Peak is so knowledgeable, caring, supportive!! They have worked with me to regain mobility and strength to enable me to keep doing the things I love to do. I am so grateful for Peak!!

Fantastic experience: Peak - and especially Marie Howell - provided highly professional and highly effective rehabilitation following a ruptured Achilles surgical repair. Marie was so effective I continued to use her for advanced training to improve my balance, gait, strength and overall core fitness which allowed me to return to an active and athletic lifestyle. Highest recommendation.

Fantastic experience: Peak Fitness & Physical Therapy have seen me through two hip replacements, balance problems, and general mobility issues. Without Marie Howell, I doubt that I'd be walking today. I cannot recommend them to highly.

Fantastic experience: Best physical therapy place I’ve ever been to, hands-down. Amazing one on one attention! I had been going to another physical therapy place in town that is a chain, and they really didn’t take the time to address my issues - they treated my issues in a generic way. But Peak really observed, and was able to figure out the heart of the matter and then to give me amazing instructions on how to fix my issues with my back

Fantastic experience: Miracle Workers! I've been to several PT's before for back and knee issues and only experienced temporary relief from my symptoms. My PT at Peak worked on the source of the problem and I'm now pain free after nearly a decade of needless suffering. Wish I had found these guys years ago. They really know their stuff.

Fantastic experience: The Peak staff is very professional and personable! Allison was super helpful in addressing a back injury and providing exercises and a plan to get me back on track. Her guidance helped my recovery immensely.

Fantastic experience: I went to Peak after a lumbar sprain that left my back in pain for 3 years. After going to Peak, that chronic back pain never returned. I have returned for smaller unrelated injuries afteward and always enjoy my sessions that lead to recovery! Great people doing great things here!

Fantastic experience: I came in with several issues. Allison was outstanding at assessing and creating structure in order to achieve my goals. Highly recommend for any outdoor related injuries - climbing, mtn biking, kayaking, etc. She got me back to all three sports!

Fantastic experience: I've been to Peak twice now to see Allison for help with injuries that were preventing me from doing the activities I wanted to do. Last year for a wrist problem, and this year for a mystery knee injury. She is great! Very personable, professional, knowledgable and kind. I appreciated feeling like the goal was to get me back to where I want to be as quickly and safely as possible. Jenny at the check-in desk is awesome too :)

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Peak Fitness and Physical Therapy. Elizabeth was outstanding and helped me tremendously in getting back to running my business! Thanks for the professional and courteous care I have received for the past 12 weeks!

Fantastic experience: I initially started going to Peak and working with Natalie to help improve strength and function in my foot after 2 years of plantar fasciitis. Natalie was great and helped improve my strength to the point where I was able to fulfill a lifelong bucket list item (technical ice climbing). The home exercises were clear and helpful and she listened to my concerns and feedback and made sure they were addressed. After finishing PT, I stayed on to do pilates with Marie. I also have some chronic injuries in my knee, shoulder, and ankle. Marie was able to work with me to address some weaknesses throughout my body from these injuries. From a functional perspective, I feel better than I have in years. The exercises are challenging but Marie makes them fun. She is able to adjust the workout to whatever is going on with me that day and still give me a challenge. She is also a physical therapist so we can address any things that arise, as well. I couldn't be more happy to find this place. Pilates has been a life changer for me to address the weaknesses that occur from my old injuries, and as my body ages. With the PT and exercise knowledge of the staff at Peak, it is the best of both worlds.

Fantastic experience: I feel extremely blessed to have been sent here by Dr. David Bruce, Allison has gone far beyond any expectations of expert care, knowledge and compassion than could have ever been hoped for and is a true friend to the greater E.D.S./ P.O.T.s Community! I know I am at the right place with the opportunity to gain much needed health and skills with her guidance. Thank you Peak Fitness!

Fantastic experience: If you want to understand the "root cause" of an issue or injury, seek wellness from Peak Fitness & Physical Therapy. Rebecca will systematically isolate the root cause and build you a wellness program to recover from the issue/injury. I live in Canton, Georgia and it is all to convenient to use the PT literally 2 blocks from my office. I can state that there concern was treating the symptom NOT the cause. After a few visits I quickly realized I needed someone who understood my hobbies and the "causes of the issue and the effects" of participating in them. That being said I willing drove to see Rebecca at PEAK (roughly 100 miles!) because I knew I could expect a permanent wellness program targeting the problem NOT a temporary pacification of the pain. Rebecca is thorough, genuine, concerned, and allows empowers you to understand what is going wrong in your body! I will glady be driving the 100 miles again for a follow up visit. The difference in treatment is that apparent!

Fantastic experience: I went to Allison Stowers for tailbone pain from a fall and postpartum SI pain and instability. She is knowledgeable, talented, and encouraging. She gave me the tools to build my body back and relieve my pain. Peak is a great place and Allison is a great person and therapist!

Fantastic experience: Peak is awesome! I've been to a fair amount of physical therapy in the past, so I feel confident saying that the staff and attitude here take PT in a new, welcomed direction. They genuinely care about your well being, and work hard to get you back in action as soon as possible. I started going to Peak for an LCL tear I got rock climbing. I saw Allison, who also is a climber and runner, and she understood my needs as an athlete and was able to provide treatment and advice that was relevant to my sport. Bridgett, the office coordinator, and Rebecca, owner/PT, were also incredible kind and accommodating. I was working through some insurance and financial transitions at the time, and they were completely flexible. They worked hard to make sure I was taken care of, and made me feel like I really mattered as a patient. As I continue my quest to be the most uncoordinated person, I go back to see Allison for all my various injuries. I can't recommend this place enough! It's finally time to move away from this "one size fits all", generic PT service we're used to... Halleluja.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Rebecca about a running related injury and she diagnosed me in a matter of minutes with just a few tests. She gave me a couple of exercises to improve the glut muscle imbalance that was causing my pain and I had a quick improvement in my symptoms. I would highly recommend Peak Physical Therapy services. I have also participated in a few of there community injury prevention clinics and learned a lot of useful information. Great work ladies of PEAK!!!

Fantastic experience: I went to Allison for pain from my pregnancy and it was great! She helped me find solutions for my pain and made me more comfortable to finish out my pregnancy. I am very thankful for Allison's expertise in this area and would go see her again! Thanks for all of yall's help!

Fantastic experience: Great physical therapist! You're pushed to work as hard as you can to get back the mobility you've lost. Everyone there is very kind and easy to talk with. 8d definitely recommend a friend.

Fantastic experience: I came to Peak Fitness & Physical Therapy after a bicep tenodesis to fix a SLAP tear. I also had a nerve block that caused half of my rotator cuff to stop working. I am a dedicated boulderer (type of rock climbing) so the use of my arm and rotator cuff is pretty important to me. Thanks to Peak and Allison, the PT I worked with my shoulder feels amazing. After about 14 weeks of work I was able to climb again. I'm not fully recovered yet and the climbing I'm doing easy, but I was shocked to feel as solid and good as I did. I have taken time off for injury in the past but not even half as long as this and I felt terrible coming back to climbing. I cannot thank the people at Peak Fitness & Physical Therapy enough and cannot recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: I hate the feeling that “I am getting old.” The knees and back hurt, and the shoulder and both wrists ache. After years of knee pain, I finally had surgery. Allison Stowers did such a good job with the PT on my knee, that I came back so she could help me with my “wish list.” Allison helped me learn how to address each area so I don’t feel as old, and I move much better with less pain! Thanks, Allison, and Peak Fitness!

Fantastic experience: The one-on-one care and attention to detail provided by Rebecca and the team at Peak is unparalleled. Rebecca identified the particular muscular weakness underlying my long-standing shoulder injury that had previously stymied other therapists. She devoted extra time and attention to identifying the issue and designing exercises to target it and improve my range of motion. The folks at Peak are accustomed to working with athletes, and they understand how important our athletic pursuits can be to those of us that choose to pursue them. They definitely went the extra mile for me. I recommend Peak to anyone looking for a physical therapist!

Fantastic experience: My wife has had both hip joints replaced and I had surgery on a torn meniscus in my knee. For each surgery we went to Marie at Peak for recovery therapy. We highly recommend her. She was excellent at carefully listening to our responses as she took us through the various levels of recovery.

Fantastic experience: I saw Allison Stowers, DPT, when I found myself unable to lift my left arm due to an overuse injury from work and climbing. Allison was able to alleviate some pain immediately with manual therapy, which allowed me to go back to work, and she developed a series of progressions to retrain my muscles to work together. Allison was considerate in all the aspects of how this injury affected my life, work, and athletic pursuits, and assigned exercises that were practical to repeat at home. Allison and Peak staff were all very welcoming and professional, and I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Rebecca has always been so helpful with my climbing injuries - even the most minor. I came in last year for some help with a tendon injury in my finger, and the year before after sustaining a "boxer's fracture" in my left hand during a kayaking trip. She understands how disappointing injuries are to athletes and folks who are super-active (since she is herself!). I recommend Peak to anybody needing physical therapy.
