Performance Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, efficient, professional, and skilled staff.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been going every week for the last couple months. We find the Physical Therapists to be very experienced, thorough and skilled in addressing our medical challenges.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service with on-time appointment; good explanations from PT re: exercises.

Fantastic experience: Wendy is a knowledgeable PT. And nice!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Performance Physical Therapy whenever I need help. The front staff is great and the Physical Therapists are kind and always there to help you with whatever your needs are.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Isabel to recover from a break and surgery of my ulna and radius. She is an extremely knowledgeable hand therapist, and has been instrumental is my recovery. She also helped me catch a complication which I was quickly able to address with my doctor. I highly recommend Isabel and Performance Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Wendy has literally been a godsend - she is professional and eager to help with your issues - I can’t give her enough 5 stars ⭐️

Negative experience: All what I found at that place was completely reverse to what is written on those other reviews. Actually I wished that there was no star option to give rather than giving one star. I don't recommend it at all.

Fantastic experience: I and my mother have both been seen by the therapists at PPT with wonderful results. My issue was sciatica for which I have had ~4 spinal injections. The relief is not long lasting. After PT with Wendy my symptoms and pain have been resolved for months. My mother was seen for vertigo and dizzyness. Her symptoms resolved after about 3 visits. We are both 100% happy with our results and would and Have recommended PPT to many.

Fantastic experience: I was so thrilled to find out that Cathy came back to CO and was available for PT. I first saw her for a neck injury in the early 1990's and she helped me so much. I now drive from Boulder County to see her for a shoulder issue...well worth it! She is gentle, listens, and does innovative techniques.

Fantastic experience: Ethan is doinga great job training me how to get me back on my feet. THANKS. Billie Bell

Fantastic experience: Wendy has been very helpful. She explains the care provided. The entire office staff is also very helpful.,

Fantastic experience: Personal care was excellent. I was heard and was taught verbally and by examples. Great care!

Fantastic experience: Isabel and Paula are so good at what they do, taking such great care of my sports injuries. I’m so thankful! I hate getting injured, but knowing they are there for me is comforting.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of PPT for over 2 years and really value the recovery from injury focus and educational aspect that is offered by Ethan. When I went in with foot pain that had been prescribed a powerful pain killer by the physician I saw initially, Ethan pin pointed the problem, gave me some immediate treatment, and taught me how to continue at home. Both that foot pain and shoulder pain I had initially gone in for were the result of being hit by a car over a decade earlier, but we have been able to build strength and restore balance even now! The office staff, David and Debbie are also amazing, they always help with billing Q’s, setting appts, and getting me in in the case of cancellations. I hope one day I won’t need PT, but until then, this is the only place I’ll go!

Fantastic experience: Best Physical Therapist in Fort Collins I highly recommend Ethan and his team as they are all very professional and informative in what they do! Follow his advice and knowledge and he will definitely get you back to where you were or beyond that! Great guy great atmosphere and FINN will welcome you with open paws. Overall great experience with great people who cares about your progression!

Fantastic experience: At Performance Physical Therapy I found the staff were friendly, efficient, and professional. Wendy Meyers is very knowledgeable and explain in detail what area she is working and what end results will be. She is easy to talk with and I felt relaxed. I would highly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with the service. Attentive and helpful

Fantastic experience: Paula is the best!

Fantastic experience: Isabel has really helped me with my neck pain. Expert care!

Fantastic experience: Great caring compassionate therapists who work as a team with up to date modalities and time to help in every way

Fantastic experience: Paula at Performance Physical Therapy got me mobile again and re-energized!

Fantastic experience: Used this service a couple times had always found them reliable, competent, and effective.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Isabel at Performance PT! Kind, competent, and thorough!

Fantastic experience: Wendy makes you feel very at ease and relaxed and explains her what and why she’s doing it thoroughly.

Fantastic experience: I had received a thorough interview from Ethan Kitchell to figure out what physical therapy would be best for me. Just after the first week, I have had noticably more mobility, less pain, and my posture has improved! After 7 months of doctor appointments and a referral to choose a physical therapist this past month, I am so pleased after doing my homework, that I chose Performance Physical Therapy. Physical therapist Ethan Kitchell definitely has me on the right track! I highly recommend Performance Physical Therapy and Physical Therapist Ethan Kitchell. Cathy

Fantastic experience: Incredible place!! All of the staff are super friendly, organized, and communicate well. I'd recommend them to anyone. Ethan helped me recover from my ankle surgery.

Fantastic experience: I went and saw Ethan at Performance PT for two back to back injuries. Ethan helped me strengthen my knee and ankle back to full function so I can get back out and enjoy the things I love. He worked with me on every aspect of my recovery (scheduling, intensity, flexibility, etc.) and he made the time enjoyable. I would recommend Ethan and Performance Physical therapy 10/10. I will certainly go back if I need PT anytime in the future!

Fantastic experience: Only took two sessions and I feel "back to normal"..... pun intended. Highly recommend. If you're lucky, you'll also be able to hang out with the resident friendly german shepard in the lobby while waiting.

Fantastic experience: My therapist is Paula. I like her because she gives me exercises that really will make my lower legs stronger following a knee surgery.

Fantastic experience: Paula at Performance Physical Therapy is top notch! How many people have gone to PT that was ineffective? I have! My Chiropractor referred me to her with glowing recommendations! I went in for some chronic back problems that got acute after doing some weighted exercises poorly. I used to have to get chiropractic weekly, sometimes twice a week just to cope! Paula is different than any PT I’ve been to. She helped me understand how my body had learned to work around my injury but then had developed some patterns that were actually keeping me in the pain cycle. Through treatment and exercises I’ve developed a stronger core and now only get chiropractic treatment once every 4-6 weeks! Then… I broke my foot in May! Walking in an air cast for 6 weeks has caused some imbalance that has irritated a hip condition. I knew just who to turn to! AND after my good experiences my husband who was having terrible shoulder pain after tennis matches, turned to Paula. Her treatment and the exercises she gave him saved his season! He was able to finish a winning season with his team! We both highly recommend Paula!!! Ps. DO your exercises!!!

Fantastic experience: Ethan is great! Great at explaining things and he makes good use of the time with exercises. I also appreciate how laid back and patient he is. It made me feel more comfortable

Fantastic experience: Highly effective physical therapy team! Successfully resolved chronic back/hip injury and allowed me to return to running. Paula and the whole staff are the very best in the field.

Fantastic experience: PPT was my first ever PT experience and it could not have been better. I had back pain for months that Ethan was able to help me fix in just a few weeks. Everyone there is super friendly & knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience at Performance Physical Therapy. Wendy has been very good at explaining the process and I'm on the road to recovery thanks to her care.

Fantastic experience: Great place to recover from my back surgery. Staff are friendly and treat you like family. My return to PPTR has been wonderful and I look forward to being without pain

Fantastic experience: During the past ten years or so, and as recently as last week, I have gone to Paula Nickel for physical therapy. Each time, I have felt better with only several visits and back to my normal activities. Her techniques are different than some therapists, as she practices Muscle Activation Therapy, which sort of resets my body to eliminate pain. I highly recommend her clinic.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Isabel at Performance Physical Therapy. She is quite knowledgable, and I feel like I am in very good hands as I work towards recovery. She explains clearly what she is working on each visit and why she chooses the exercises she prescribes. I highly recommend this PT office to those looking for physical recovery help.

Fantastic experience: Wendy Meyer is an accomplished PT. Very knowledgeable and also willing to explain what the process entailed. She was easy to talk with. My shoulder improved the 1st visit and with each subsequent visit. I have used her for past sports injuries and will certainly use her again with any future injuries.

Fantastic experience: Wendy is an amazing physical therapist! I had a "knee" issue for almost a year and she made it go away! Of course it ended up being much more than just my knee that was messed up, but she fixed it. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Extremely helpful. I felt very comfortable.

Fantastic experience: Isabel is great. She spends a lot of time explaining the therapy.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable therapists who listen well. They are experts on muscle activation therapy among other approaches.

Fantastic experience: Ethan has exceptional knowledge and expertise in physical therapy but also has shown great patience and tolerance in my skepticism. I came to PT without experience or confidence. I doubted what he was doing was going to make a difference. I was so wrong! It has and it does! I'm doing so much better and have minimal pain now. This facility is well located, clean and they are on time. The front desk person is efficient and respectful. I would definitely recommend Ethan for your PT needs.

Fantastic experience: If I could give a higher rating than 5, I would. I saw positive results after my first visit with Wendy. The homework is a challenge but I'm seeing progress - more than I expected or hoped for.

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with my experience at Performance Therapy. Ethan has worked on my knee and given me more flexibility and less pain. Everyone is friendly.

Fantastic experience: Wendy was great, she filled in a lot of gaps in my understanding of vertigo and did a thorough evaluation of my case. She went through the exercises that should vastly reduce or hopefully even eliminate this annoyance! I highly recommend Wendy and Performance Physical!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Performance Physical Therapy. My treatment plan has been individualized to me and my needs. Ethan always listens to my concerns and adapts as we move along in the plan. He is extremely knowledgeable and we make progress with every session. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him!

Fantastic experience: I am amazed at the difference that Wendy at Performance Physical Therapy has made. I always leave there feeling much better and she also provides me with stretches and movements that help me keep from getting flared up. I am very grateful to have discovered the great resource they provide for reducing and eliminating pain in my life.

Fantastic experience: I love the "personal" welcome. Evan does a great job of attending to my concerns. I certainly do recommend this physical therapy company

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more pleased with the personnel at Performance Physical Therapy and Rehab. I've gone to other PT providers, only to leave disappointed with the follow ups and prescribed home exercises. Paula is very well informed and dedicated to helping you succeed; not trying to sign you up for endless, ongoing weekly visits.

Fantastic experience: I arrived with a hip injury from several years ago and a dislocated knee from a few weeks ago. I was tired, in pain and a bit apprehensive as to what the physical adjustments would involve. I left with the feeling of hope and a lot less discomfort. I can feel and see the progress in daily movement!! Yea!

Fantastic experience: Realty fantastic people, well run, rarely have to wait, excellent treatment.

Fantastic experience: Kind, highly skilled, thoughtful, effective!

Fantastic experience: very knowledgeable and thorough

Fantastic experience: Amazing results.

Fantastic experience: Excellent care. Knowledgeable, friendly and explain the reasoning for everything they are doing. Can't really imagine better.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and pleasant. Corrected the problem I had with vertigo. Follow up appointment today. Very good for therapy.

Fantastic experience: Wendy relieved the back pain that I had for 45 years. She is great and I have recommended her countless times.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Performance PT & Rehabilitation by my PCP for an ongoing (3 months) of vertigo. Wendy treated me and gave me exercises for home therapy, which I did religiously. I saw her for 3 appointments. I had to go on a trip soon thereafter so couldn't see her for more appointments. However to my delight, within the next two weeks the vertigo slowly and eventually went away. If this reoccurs I will definitely see her again.

Fantastic experience: The care & expertise that is provided here has had profound influence on my pain management over the years, & as effective as Paula has been on the treatment of my trigeminal nerve pain & the sympathetic pain effects, she and her staff have been even more effective on treating me as a person. Cannot recommend highly enough! An integral part of my medical team & I do not know where or how I would be without her.

Fantastic experience: First off, I like that you are cared for in a private setting instead of a gym-like pt place. I recently had total knee replacement and Paula is my PT. She's tough but not mean. Those of you who've had mean pt people know what I'm talking about.Paula helped me through the most painful pt I've ever experienced. The leg hadn't been used correctly for many years, it's muscles had atrophied, the scar tissue was horrific. Paula never gave up on me, always helping me stay positive - she would walk with you through fire, if it'd help you reach your goal. If I could give her 10 stars I would.

Fantastic experience: Paula is a amazing Therapist. In every sense of the word. She's amazing at her job and even goes above and beyond with starting conversations and helping you feel comfortable and calm. Helping melt away both your physical and mental stress and pains. Her cute dogs are a great addition to the medical service she provides, as it's hard to not feel more at ease with cute, fuzzy animals nearby. Paula is worth your time and support. Without a doubt. As long as I live in Fort Collins I'll plan to use the wonderful services that Paula provides. Just amazing all around!

Fantastic experience: Ethan was a great help with working with my knees. He is professional and caring, and I always felt confident that he was going to help me, as he did! Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I have sought help from Performance Physical Therapy twice in the last three years. Each time the treatment I received was extremely helpful; the therapist (Ethan) was very competent and excellent at explaining what he thought the problem was and how he was treating it. And the treatment worked. The staff is very professional and pleasant to deal with. I would strongly recommend PPTR to anyone who needs physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: Have found Paula's techniques go to the source of my problems - nerve damage w/ severe pain. Other's I've gone to always want to strengthen muscles, but if there is no nerve innervation, it's difficult to strengthen muscles if the nerves don't move them!!!

Fantastic experience: I have over stressed muscles. I’m seeking help with Wendy again. Wendy has helped me in the past, after having a child, with discomfort in my neck. Wendy does a great job, relieving discomfort and pain. I’m seeing her again, after 3 years, for shoulder pains. Ethan helps me, with dry needling, and he’s focusing on knots and tension points. I’m still new at this treatment and will continue to see the results after 6 sessions. Seeing both of them, has allowed me to move my shoulders, arms with lesser pain, and helps with sleeping better. I enjoy the staff, everyone has been very helpful, in starting this journey of reliving physical pain. Thank you all,

Fantastic experience: I'm back for a second series of sessions with Wendy Meyer at Performance Physical Therapy. My first series was several years ago, when I had a hip that was acting up so much I could barely walk. She straightened me out and it stayed that way for--several years. I'm back to get set up for the next several years! Gentle, effective, wow.

Fantastic experience: So helpful and Paula is fun. Barbara

Fantastic experience: Always am in quick, and Paula always relieves my pain during that visit with a multitude of techniques.

Fantastic experience: friendly, great place, very knowledgeable, you will know when Ethan has worked on you. Results

Fantastic experience: Wendy is fantastic and my results have been amazing!

Fantastic experience: Effective treatment, great therapists, friendly staff. My go to place for PT!

Fantastic experience: Ethan has been great to work with. Very knowledgeable and excellent at his craft. Would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: After major foot surgery Wendy helped me with gait and balance issues using activation therapy. Also massage for scar tissue release.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Ethan and Performance Physical Therapy. They got me in quickly and relieved months-long pain in the first visit.

Fantastic experience: If you’ve tried other PTs like I had, I’ve had the greatest success in my road to healing in just two visits than I’ve had in three years. I highly recommend Performance Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: It has been a great experience being cared for by Wendy at Performance Physical Therapy. I would highly recommend her and the folks there.

Fantastic experience: Ethan is great and has really helped me with my shoulder! He explains what he’s doing and gives effective at home exercises.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Wendy. She was was very effective at helping me with my pain. The staff are super friendly and very helpful at arranging appointments.

Fantastic experience: Paula has brought a variety of physical therapy resources to my treatment. They have included warmups, isometrics, isotonic exercises, stretching, balance drills, and muscle activation. Her own sports background gives her an edge in helping me with my modest aspirations to the strenuous life. In the rehabilitation setting, Paula found ways to accelerate, to an amazing degree, my recovery from joint replacement. I might add that she was my best counselor in making an action plan and preparing for the very successful surgery.

Fantastic experience: Physical therapy at it's best. Their techniques and total attention to the patient and unique release techniques instead of the give you exercises and leave you alone gives you the patient the care and treatment you deserve. No other Physical therapy clinic does it better or puts the customer first like they do. Make an appointment at Performance Physical Therapy your body will thank you.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Paula enough, she brings a lot of tools and techniques to bear in working on issues and injuries. She's helped me through the years with lots of injuries and issues, why I keep going back!

Fantastic experience: Ethan is awesome. I injured my neck in 2017 hiking in Hawaii. I never went to PT. All the way through late 2018 I was unable to sleep on an elevated pillow and experiencing neck spasms, extreme pain, etc. I saw Ethan once a week for about a month and this is all in the past now. I can sleep on elevated pillows and I haven't had a stiff neck since. I stopped going abruptly due to another more serious health issue and I didn't expect to still be feeling this good a few weeks later. If the pain ends up creeping back up on me, I'm definitely going back to Ethan!

Fantastic experience: Ethan is the most outstanding physical therapist I've ever worked with. He goes above and beyond. His calming attitude is so positive and helpful. It's easy to relax. Deb, the receptionist, is also top notch. I call her Smiley because she always has a smile. She is very kind and pleasant. Deb's calmness is such an positive asset.

Fantastic experience: Ethan’s done an excellent job of helping me regain mobility and strength in my wrist after a fracture. Very personable and professional. I am very appreciative!

Fantastic experience: I have gone to Performance Physical Therapy for various issues the past 6 years. All of the staff are courteous, very helpful and professional. Performance Physical Therapy provides a warm and healing environment. Wendy, Paula go above and beyond to get one back on track.

Fantastic experience: Paula Nickle is absolutely the best and I would highly recommend her.

Negative experience: BE WARNED!!!!! I have been to many therapists, both pre and post-surgery. This was by far the worst experience ever. First they swear they can fix anything the moment you walk through the door, should have walked out that second I know. Second they will not tell you if they are not covered by your insurance, even when asked. Third issue, saw three different therapists in four visits. How productive is it when you waste thirty minutes going over the same thing with each therapist as if you’re a new patient. And my final issue is I pay you $75 each for 4 visits, you collect $198 from my insurance bringing to total to $498….. You then billed me for an additional $90 almost 2 months later. Who would have known I ended up needing surgery? I don’t know.. maybe a trained therapist. I would like to thank the owner for turning me over to collections for such a small amount of money you could have wrote off. I have been out of work for over 3 months because of surgery and every medical group I’ve seen has worked with me except Performance.
