Smith Performance Center - Physical Therapy & Strength Training

Experiencia fantástica: I found myself at Smith Performance Center looking for a second opinion before committing to surgery for a severe ankle sprain that I had while running. The sprain had occurred over three and ½ years ago and still after all the standard treatments; months of physical therapy, cortisone shots, and immobilization, I suffered from chronic pain and instability. I couldn’t run, or do my workouts without a compression sleeve that I had purchased at a sports store. My ankle rolled constantly, swelled, and hurt all the time. I just learned to ignore it as best I could. When the pain became too much I would take a few days off from exercising. This injury was limiting my ability to reach new fitness goals and I was frustrated. When I met with Craig I was impressed with his knowledge and decided to put off the surgical consultation to see if his alternative approach helped in any way. The best part was I didn’t have to stop my training, I just needed to be mindful of when I had pain and what type of pain it was. To my utter surprise I saw fast improvements in just three weeks. Now three months later I am running on a regular basis, and have doubled my mileage. If I follow the treatment regiment he has outlined for me I experience no pain or discomfort at all, not even while working out. I just called and canceled my surgical consult. I wish I had found Smith Performance Center 3 years ago! I am so excited to not feel held back by my injury any longer. I have set some great fitness goals for the year! A half marathon and an 8+ mile OCR. I feel confident that with Craig’s periodic input and treatment I can attain those goals! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend that you schedule an appointment if you are not seeing improvements in your current PT regiment, if you are suffering any pain, or trying to recover from an injury.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been working out at Smith Performance Center for 2 years. This is such a positive environment to build my strengths and endurance and rehab some long term injuries. The therapists work closely with the trainers to create a program that is specific for me. The environment in the gym is so encouraging and I look forward to my workouts!

Experiencia fantástica: Smith performance is fantastic. They helped me with my back pain and any other issues that come. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! I highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to SPC on the recommendation of several friends. I had been dealing with a calf injury that was keeping me from running, and had poor results with other Physical Therapists. I was impressed that each appointment at SPC is directly with your physical therapist, one on one. Craig worked with me to diagnose and develop a treatment plan to deal with my calf injury through addressing muscle inhibitions. Following his treatment plan got me back to running pain free, it was a fantastic experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Craig Smith since 2017 as needed. His services have always been available and his diagnosis have been spot-on. I find his technique to be effective and also one that encourages wellness. I'm primarily a trail runner and backpacking guide, which seems to be well within Craig's range of Specialization. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I have literally been given my life back!! I am 64 and for 28 years have suffered with severe rib pain resulting from a bike accident. Alternatives offered over the years such as extreme shots in my nerves in my rib area in attempt to numb the nerve to alleviate pain, prescription drugs, or cutting nerves … none were successful. I decided to teach myself to push thru and manage my pain without these alternatives . Just recently my son told me about Sarah and Craig Smith’s - Smith Performance Center… I went for a consultation…literally within a month Carlee, SPC’s Physical Therapist taught me how to understand where my pain was originating and to show me how specific movements on a daily basis would allow my body to recover instead of me just forcing it to push thru life accepting the pain as a norm. Once I learned to integrate these movements into my daily routine I was able to be pain free and to move to the gym where Sean and Jason taught me how important correct posture and technique plays an incredible difference in strength training sucess, step by step guiding and teaching me giving me the knowledge and confidence to be able to successfully build strength and not return to the pain that had plagued me for so many years. I now use the SPC work out App to strength train 3 days a week with their continued guidance and have never felt more confident and strong …pain free!!! My body and I are no longer at war… SPC has given me the tools for many years ahead of active strong health. I highly recommend SPC to anyone who is suffering from injury or looking to improve your overall health and strength. This team is incredible!!!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at SPC is top notch; every time I’ve gotten injured, they have not only kept me running/exercising while they troubleshoot the root causes, they also identify and solve the issues! I have come to them numerous times over the past five years with various injuries, and without fail, they have fixed me. I highly recommend SPC to anyone with an injury and they will keep you running and fix the issue! I can not recommend them highly enough

Experiencia fantástica: I've been coming to SPC for over 3 years and they are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and have been a total game changer for my running and strength training. Recently I saw Carlee with a nagging hip injury and she was able to get me running again, pain free that day. I've referred a few friends and family members to them who've all had great results. My aunt had been told by multiple doctors that a knee surgery would be required for her to exercise again pain free -- well, a few visits to SPC proved those doctors wrong and she was able to resume jogging and hiking pain free. - If you're having exercise or mobility pain I can't recommend SPC enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I love Smith Performance. They are the only physical therapy organization that combines PT and weight training so you can continue to improve your weaknesses. If you become a member than the PT and the Trainers work together to make sure you are not aggravating an injury. Everyone works together to help you along your way. I wouldn't go anywhere else now that I have been with Craig and his team.

Experiencia fantástica: I strongly recommend them! I've been going for over a year. They have helped me to build strength and overcome past injuries. The app shows me my upcoming workouts and past history. Their PT visits pair well to work through any weaknesses or pains. Their trainers help me find the correct form and movement to overcome those weaknesses and pains.

Experiencia fantástica: Three years ago I came to Smith Performance with two injuries Achilles’ tendons from running. I was worried my running days were behind me. Craig got me fixed up and back on track. I’m happy to report three years later I’ve maintained his treatment regiment and have not had an issue since! Over the past six months I finished Ironman Texas, Ran the Bandera Trails 100k, and Ran the Boston Marathon. All lifelong goals of mine helped made possible by Craig and his team. I’m just so grateful and would recommend him to anyone looking to take care of a nagging issue, or looking to prevent them! Thank you Craig!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had a great experience working with Sara to rehab some musculoskeletal imbalances causing discomfort. My case was somewhat tricky, so Sara collaborated with Craig and some of the other PT’s on the Smith Performance team to create a plan. I really appreciate their comprehensive approach to treatment. It’s clear they truly care about type well-being of their patients! Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Smith Performance Center is the absolute best athletic facility I have ever been a part of. It perfectly integrates physical therapy with strength training. The entire team is great to work with. They actually care about your total health and go above and beyond to ensure you are your healthiest self.

Experiencia fantástica: I moved here from Phoenix, and was in need of a physical therapy clinic. I feel like I won the lottery with Smith Performance Center! There's nothing like this in Phoenix. SPC provides one-on-one work, an at home plan, on-going concern with your progress, and follow-up...which makes them stand out from any other therapy clinic I've been to. I'm very thankful for Carlee and all she's done for me over the past few months, as I'm now pain free! She is so knowledgeable, professional, and patient...I'm very appreciative of all her help and guidance. I recommend SPC and Carlee to anyone who is looking for a top rate, 5-star physical therapy clinic!

Experiencia fantástica: This is my second visit to Smith Performance. The 1st was over 6 years ago and the issue I came in for was solved in 3 visits and did not come back. This time was the same, after 3 visits a foot issue I thought I was just going to have to live with was solved, and I now have a very good understanding of what is going on and how to keep it from happening again. Craig is a hands on PT, who spent an hour with me each visit diagnosing, and treating. Smith Performance is also a well run operation with everything easily available online, and awesome communication via text, email and their website. I can't recommend Smith Performance more, and please before you get surgery come see them, it will be the best money you ever spent.

Experiencia fantástica: Craig and his stuff are the BEST! I had a knee pain following 55k in October, which made me not run more than 3 miles. Craig saw me and gave me a game plan, and I was back running "normal" miles within a few weeks!!! Thanks, SPC!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I could probably write something short such as, "You've tried the rest, now try the best," or some such, and leave it at that, but it would hardly do justice to everyone who works at Smith Performance Center. Simply put, the entire staff takes competency and expertise to an entirely new level. The knowledge, integrity and experience they bring to the table is by far the best I've experienced, anywhere. Of special note is their online scheduling which makes scheduling any appointment as well as providing feedback a breeze. On a related note, the follow up surveys they provide are top notch, are easy to use and yet are also thorough at the same time -- a rare combination. Finally, by default, as a client, you're definitely made to feel like your progress is a team effort, because, frankly, it is. Bravo!

Experiencia fantástica: These guys are the best!! I have been dealing with a knee issue for years. Been to another PT without any real improvement. Within 2 sessions with Carlee, walking became easier. As the knee improved, it was suggested that I exercise to continue the improvement by strengthening glutes and quads. I set an appointment with Sean who set me on the path of a weekly exercise program. Wow, the improvement is amazing. I highly recommend Smith Performance Center. I am so looking forward to ski season this year!!!

Experiencia fantástica: The entire team at SPC will exceed all your expectations when it comes to physical therapy and sports performance. Craig and Sarah Smith are incredibly knowledgeable and are very particular on who they have working with them. Brian, Sean, Nate, Max, Carly, Edy, and Kelly have all been incredibly fun to train under. They all keep me healthy, and I feel they are all very passionate about what they do. I began my journey with SPC a little over 4 years ago following what I thought was a severe knee injury. I thought I was going to need surgery. The injury was sustained while practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Craig was also training Jiu Jitsu at the time of my injury and suggested I come see him. After my first visit with Craig, my mobility was improved, and the pain was brought to a minimum. I was back to full training within a couple weeks. Craig sponsored me and put me on a strength and conditioning program. I had never focused on strength and conditioning before starting the program at SPC. I attribute much of my current health to the guidance I have and currently receive from the team at SPC. My sport, jiu jitsu, is extremely demanding on the body. I have sustained almost no serious injuries while practicing jiu jitsu since the start of my training at SPC. I attribute this to Craig's program. I believe, ongoing training at SPC has given me the strength, mobility, and conditioning to train intensely while avoiding injuries. I would highly recommend SPC to anyone wanting to take their health and well being to the next level and far beyond.

Experiencia fantástica: Grateful for SPC! I joined after 7 yrs of knee pain was diagnosed as simple arthritis. 18 months later, my functional strength and capabilities are back to what I had (on good days) in my 40's. I can tromp around construction sites with stairs and ladders, lift 40 lb. boxes correctly without strain or repercussions. Hiking is easy again with a little cross-friction maneuver of a patella tendon. For fun, I also play a small cousin of the tuba and percussion and have much better endurance after embarking on a walk-run program encouraged by Coach Nate. Recently, SPC kept me moving through cancer surgery and radiation treatments. I worked out the morning of surgery which definitely improved THAT day. Today, I arrived at the gym without an appt. (Rushed the scheduling process and failed to hit "confirm.") Coach Sean made room for me and I got a full workout in. Occasionally, my Husband-in-Training and I share a workout space. This works better than you might think because we never correct each other's form knowing a Coach is watching all of us and will make corrections as needed. In summary, SPC is a lifesaver for me.

Experiencia fantástica: We went to the Smiths with some injuries and serious issues with muscle weakness due to aging. Each time they have walked us through effective therapy that was simple and effective. Following their protocols daily brought quick relief. Usually their expected number of visits was less than they said. Now we have joined their fitness center. Their staff is working with us to educate us, and help us develop a lifetime plan for body health and strength. That plan will be carried out in another gym, yet they are glad to help us with the time we can get with them. We are seeing the benefits within a few weeks. Even though I am in my late 60's, my muscle strength is clearing increasing, and with it, my vulnerability to accidental injury diminished. Could not recommend their PT and Strength training more highly.

Experiencia fantástica: First came to Smith Performance Center after several recommendations for a PT, and stayed for the the strength program! I love that they create specialized programs integrating your goals (whether lifestyle or athletic) and any weaknesses or injuries you may have. I've definitely become a stronger runner while working with SPC and come back more quickly following any minor injuries I've faced so far.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely come see Craig Smith! Waste not one more appointment with any other providers! I came to Craig with a nagging hip problem. I was in constant discomfort and was no longer able to hike or horseback ride. I'd been to a Chiropractor for several weekly visits for a month, along with weekly deep tissue massage. These providers asked me to stop all daily activities including vacuuming! I was spending a lot of money, not having any relief, and losing all hope of returning to my favorite activities. After 5 weeks of freaking out that my life was dramatically changing for the worse, I found Craig Smiths Website. I read his entire website, I hoped I had found my lifeline back to a normal life. I scheduled an appointment hoping and praying he would be everything he said he was on his web page. He sounded too good to be true. Craig Smith is everything and more than his web page. He is a man of his word and a very rare, true healer. He was confident he could help me, restored my hope and belief that I could get better and resume my normal hiking and riding. Two days after my first appointment I picked right back up with hiking 6 miles a day, 4 days a week. NO PAIN!!!! Who would have imagined? One day after my second appointment I was back on the horse!! NO Pain. I have only had two appointments with him. He always asks at the beginning and end of our appointments what I hoped to get out of them, and did I get out of them what I needed. What? A provider that cares what you think! I could go on and on about this wonderful man but encourage you to meet him and see for yourself. Give yourself the gift of pain free mobility back with Smith Performance!! R. Simmons

Experiencia fantástica: Craig and Sarah Smith have been a central part of my journey as an athlete for over 10 years. Not only have they helped correct the instabilities I tended to generate during my own endurance training, I can easily say the most successful year I had was when I engaged in their strength and conditioning program as well. I recently moved for work away from Tucson and again suffered a knee injury that was a mystery. The orthopedic surgeon and PT I saw in my new home state did nothing beyond saying “non-surgical” but then failed to tell me how to get better, leaving me with lingering pain and an inability to run. I feel so fortunate to have developed the relationship I have with Craig and Sarah as I was able to schedule appointments with both of them over a holiday break back in Tucson. In just 2 visits I’m already seeing improvement in my condition and for the first time in 6 months I actually have an action plan and hope for the future when others just wrote me off. Whether you’re looking for a new PT or a change for a second opinion, you have to see the team at Smith Performance Center!!! 5 star people.

Experiencia fantástica: Having been a member at SPC for about three years now, my journey with SPC began with physical therapy for a running injury. They diagnosed the injury and built a custom active recovery strength workout and I was back on the trail within days instead of weeks or months. I was so impressed, I'm still with SPC three years later, and now strength training for a cycling race, all of which they provide guidance and support for. I appreciate SPCs fantastic set of features that I have not seen elsewhere, including a fully outfitted gym, individualized workout plans vetted by in-house strength coaches and PTs for my goals, and built-in regular access to those PTs. As a frequent traveler, the coaches will even modify my workouts to be accomplished with available gym equipment or no equipment at all. I remain tremendously impressed with SPC’s ability to adapt to virtually any kind of goals and conditions with sustained professionalism and personal care. After poor experiences with larger gyms, disengaged trainers, and ineffective PTs, I’ve finally found a team that is effective and genuinely on my side at SPC.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Craig Smith two years ago for PT, and after 3 sessions, 90% of my back was gone and I could run again. I’ve been a member of their endurance program since then, and their coaching has kept me healthy and helped me achieve new goals in running and cycling. Craig, Sarah, Sean, and Nate are phenomenal as a team! Highly recommend Smith Performance Center for PT and training.

Experiencia fantástica: Smith Performance Center’s HHP program has been a perfect way for me to get in shape again. And not only get in shape but do it in a strategic, healthy and safe way. The programs they put together are progressive and tailored to your unique goals and abilities. Their strength training area is cleverly designed to create fully outfitted workout stations for each client all the while socially distanced. For people like me who want to work out but are daunted by a wide open gym full of equipment and no idea a what to do with it all, the SPC team has been invaluable in making us want to “go to the gym” again. As a bonus, Sean, Nate and Max are awesome. Always helpful and watching you to make sure your doing things right and safely or just available if you have a question… “Am I doing this right?” Further their open clinic program is a great resource to get guidance from the Physical Therapy team on any ailments or simple questions you might have.

Experiencia fantástica: I love endurance sports (swimming, running, biking, hiking, ALL OF THEM) and what that's meant most of my life is nagging injuries. As I rehabbed those injuries, my commitment to the prescribed exercises always died after my injuries went away...only to return later. And then I found SPC. If you're looking for injury prevention strength training then look no further. They have the most robust strength program in Tucson that includes in person supervision as well as an app with a structured plan. It's like having a personal trainer at a fraction of the cost. They figured out just about everything. All you have to do is show up. If an injury pops up, you have access to their PTs to get ahead of it quickly.

Experiencia fantástica: SPC is the most complete and thorough physical therapy facility that I have ever encountered. They are reasonably priced, particularly with the credentials and quality of their staff.

Experiencia fantástica: SPC is the best physical therapy provider I've ever been to. What stands out most is their philosophy on injury and their approach to dealing with it. I worked with James Babinsky early this year to get over a knee injury that I was unable to fix after seeing multiple other physical therapists. One of the several reasons that James' treatment and guidance worked is that he taught me the evidence-based research that underpinned every part of my plan. This helped me understand the process and feel confident in the program and adjustments that we made to it. I have been pain free ever since working with James, and couldn't have asked for a better result. James and the SPC crew do it the right way, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks James!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing results! I initially went to SPC on a recommendation from a co-worker to deal with some occasional knee pain when I was running and cycling. That was in March. Within 4 weeks the pain was dealt with and I enrolled in their Health and Human Performance program. I hadn't been in the gym consistently since before the CVOID lockdowns. Over the intervening 8 months, I've been attending consistently and the results are tangible. I'm lifting heavier, without pain, than I ever have before. The SPC method of tailored workouts paired with open PT clinics truly works. And the fitness carries over into all aspects of my life. Craig, Sarah, Sean, Nate, Max, and the entire team are true professionals, and their personal touch and interest in seeing me succeed in my fitness goals keep me coming back for more. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Smith Performance has been so very helpful in getting me back to where I want to be physically. After knee and hip surgery, I was discouraged with persistent pain. After working with Sarah, Craig, Sean and Nate over the last 18 months, I am back to doing most of what I was before my injuries. At this point the only thing limiting me is time. Thanks Team Smith!

Experiencia fantástica: I came in with a pinched nerve causing me numbness and tingling in my left hand and elbow. I saw Sarah who help me both understand and fix the issue by giving me the tools to manage my injury. Most PTs I have been too put you on a "come see us for ____" treatment plan. However, both Sarah and Craig subscribe to the idea that you should be able to understand and manage your own body and therefore give you the tools, understanding, and decision on how to best treat your injury. I recommend anyone with and injury go see them.

Experiencia fantástica: The folks at SPC were extremely helpful in my recovery from a lower back disc injury. Their physical therapy and strength training programs helped me address strength imbalances so that I could return to my normal athletic activities. They were always professional and focused on my individual needs as a client. This is not a one-size-fits-all program; they will tailor your program to your specific needs and work with you to accomplish whatever athletic goals you have!

Experiencia fantástica: I is a long story, but to keep it short...started with Smith Performance Center for PT prior to my second hip replacement. That was 4 1/2 years ago and I have moved along with my strength training to a great spot perfecting form and increasing endurance! This was no easy feat due to other health considerations. Having lived in Santa Fe and Southern CA where there are a lot of body workers and trainers, I have never met a health care provider nor strength trainer of this caliber! The dedication to continual refinement, research, testing and technology to make it successful as well as easy for clients just keeps progressing with no ceiling in site. Everyone on the team is well trained, well informed and if they don't know they will find out. And of course special kudos for Craig and Sarah for bring their clients to a happy enjoyment with strength under their belts!

Experiencia fantástica: We love these guys! My mom has been working out here since her hip replacement and she’s as strong now as she’s ever been. She hiked 20 miles up a peak in Alaska with no problem just four months after her surgery. My fourteen year old brother broke his arm and started training at SPC as part of his recovery. Now he is being coached to run and they do a really good job making PT fun for him. I’m training at SPC to overcome tendinopathy related to my hypermomibility. I’ve found it very helpful and I feel much stronger! The three of us range in age from fourteen to fifty-four and we all feel maximally supported for our needs.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been going to Smith for a few years now - first for physical therapy and now for strength training. The trainers are amazing! They really do listen to your needs and lay out a schedule that’s specific to your goals. I’ve been to other gyms in the past that don’t offer many of the services that Smith provides for each member. Well run, clean, and friendly!

Experiencia fantástica: Smith Performance has become my mainstay for a healthy body and life. I’ve learned so much about injury prevention and have finally started healing old injuries that have continued to get in the way of my active lifestyle. The Physical Therapist are constantly available and checking in on how I’m feeling. The gym is well organized with continuous strength coach support for proper form any suggestions for personal strength goals. With several programs available- what I do in the gym is tailored just for me. Love this place and the people!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to SPC for physical therapy after a friend recommended it. Sarah pinpointed the source of my pain and gave 3 specific treatments. Later Craig diagnosed another problem I was having and persisted with help until I had an answer. A third problem was solved by their shoulder specialist. Clear, specific, targeted help brought results. Now I'm doing Strength Training at their gym with excellent trainers. Instead of pain, I'm getting strong! I can't say enough good things about them...

Experiencia fantástica: I had a meniscus tear and surgery a year later. Almost a year after surgery and after trying to run and hike through the pain, and shots of fluid into the knee, A friend recommended their physical therapist at Smith Performance center. After the first session with James, I wished I had come in much sooner than I did. Almost immediately my pain went away. It wasn’t that the pain went away, James taught me how to avoid the triggers of the pain long enough to heal. James then taught me techniques to strengthen my knee. Two months later I was able to backpack in the Colorado Rockies for four days without knee pain. Thank you James and thank you to all the staff that were so supportive.

Experiencia fantástica: Best physical therapists around!!!!!! All the team members at Smith performance care about your recovery. I have gone to PT at other organizations & felt like a cog in the wheel. That doesn’t happen here. They give excellent professional services. I love their programs they offer, especially the Health & human performance workout program. You have to give it a try!!

Experiencia fantástica: Having chronic back pain and sciatica for years I finally starting working with SPC after hearing about them from a friend. After just one session with PT James Babinsky I started to feel a significant reduction in pain and only weeks later I’m feeling better than I have in years. I’m an endurance cyclist and my performance on the bike has improved and most importantly is pain free. I’ve just begun a strength training program and looking forward to even better performance. SPC having expertise in physical therapy and strength training is the perfect combination. I cannot say enough and give them the highest recommendation!!!

Experiencia fantástica: My story is very similar to many I've read. Due to excruciating lower back pain, my PCP set me up to meet with their hospital's physical therapy group. The whole time I felt like I was basically a round peg trying to be put in a square hole. I was in the dreaded "one size fits it all approach" to physical therapy. During my three weeks, I actually felt worse at the end of each session. It got so bad, I told them I would like to take a break while I received an MRI and then, depending on the outcome, we could then once again continue with the treatments. My MRI reported that I had 2 bulging discs. When my physical therapist looked at the MRI I was shocked by their response. They said, "I am really sorry, but we can't help you any more." As I walked out of their clinic all I could think was that back surgery must be my only option now. Enter Craig Smith Performance Center. I was a bit leery now of physical therapy, but a doctor where I worked told me that I had to see Craig Smith first. So very reluctantly I made an appointment. From the beginning I could tell the approach here was different. I was impressed at the time Craig took to figure out what was wrong with me. In this he discussed a number of specially tailored stretches and exercises that he knew I could perform and at the same time wouldn't cause me pain or make my condition worsen. Craig said, "We've helped many people over the years with a similar condition and I believe we can help you as well!" Craig gave me hope that I hadn't felt in over a month. This was drastically different from my prior experience. In a few sessions I started noticing improvements. Albeit small and gradual we were starting to see progress. I didn't end up needing back surgery, and my three month ordeal finally came to a triumphant end! In this process I worked closely with James and Nate as well. These talented folks gave me my life back! I can't say enough about each of them or their incredible group! They are truly the best and committed to helping people get out of pain and return to normal activities!

Experiencia fantástica: After trying several PT places in town, I finally found the best one. Smith Performance Center is by far the best place to receive PT. After my first session with Craig, I was pain free for the first time after almost 2 years. Then, I received physical therapy with James and he provided me the daily exercises and warm ups that I need to achieve a full recovery. I totally recommend this place. Their knowledge, preparation and determination are demonstrated in every session.

Experiencia fantástica: I thought I was going to need surgery. My shoulder had been bothering me for about 8 or 9 months and it was getting worse. I'd made as many accommodations to my workouts and my life as I could but the sudden, unbelievably intense pain still occurred regularly. Sometimes if I moved my arm the wrong way while I walked the dogs, sometimes if I turned over funny in the middle of the night. I was at my wits end. JAMES BABINSKY was recommended to me as Smith Performance Center's new "shoulder guy" so I made an appointment. Now, just a few months later, I rarely have any pain and am back to doing back squats without a problem. A combination of 30 minute sessions with James working on the joint and me doing strengthening and stretching exercises to build muscles to support proper positioning and loosen up what had become too tight has resulted in great success. I have more work to do to ensure it doesn't happen again but I am completely and wholeheartedly satisfied with the results. 30-minute sessions were super affordable and very effective.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred by a friend who had been taking virtual physical therapy sessions. He told me that he went through a couple of PT's and only really saw improvement after working with Smith Performance Center - after working with James for 2 weeks, I had already seen more improvement than working with a year of different PT's in person, in Los Angeles. I love that the center uses key signs - specific functional movements chosen based on your injury or goal, to hone in and serve as a measure of improvement. I was able to both see improvement and understand my progress better because of the key signs, the attention to detail, and the good general advice. I also appreciate that my questions and concerns were answered to the fullest detail, I was able to address when certain exercises didn't seem to be effective immediately and modify workouts very quickly - and ultimately integrate the lessons into my normal workouts.

Experiencia fantástica: I strongly recommend the Smith Performance Center for physical therapy needs. I had a series of injuries they were able to help me treat effectively. I was able to be treated by both Greg and James, and though I'm not looking to get injured again I know exactly where to go now if I do. Well worth the travel to their facility for treatment and they do a great job at managing precautions and their clients' safety during COVID.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough good things about Craig and his team at Smith Performance Center. Extensive surgery on my knee resulted in pain, muscle atrophy and significantly limited range of motion. After four weeks in prescribed physical therapy recommended by my surgeon, I had made little progress and was extremely frustrated. In only a few short weeks working with Craig and the team, my range of motion improved, strength returned, and pain decreased. If you are facing surgery, have been through surgery or are looking to improve athletic performance and health, I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment. The SPC team experienced, dedicated and professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Smith Performance is not your typical PT go to. The staff is extremely knowledgeable in their respective discipline but further they know how to diagnose AND treat the symptoms with excellent results. My third Physical Therapist in town with the first two lacking in any measurable result. After my treatment with Sara, I realized at least a 50% improvement!

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah Smith is the BEST! I was set to have neck surgery after 8 months of chronic pain caused by trapped nerves, degenerative discs and bone spurs. I tried everything: cortisone shots, chiropractor, acupuncture, another physical therapist, all resulting in no relief from the pain. I gave up and opted for surgery. After one visit to the Smith Performance Center I felt immediately better. After five visits I am pain free and back to doing sports again. Sarah is hands-on, extremely knowledgeable and truly an expert in her field. She listens intensely and her advice is spot on. She follows up with you and her rehab exercises are effective as well as manageable. I am so very grateful to her and the Smith Performance Center . I will always be a client if I suffer more injuries.
