Convergence Physical Therapy and Performance

Experiencia fantástica: This place is absolutely incredible. I work with Mariel, and the results have been astounding. cannot recommend enough

Experiencia fantástica: They are so helpful and do a great job of creating a safe space to work out!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been going to convergence physical therapy for about three years now, starting with an acl repair and most recently for back surgery recovery. They have the best customer service out there! Helped me to become a stronger athlete than I was before injury.

Experiencia fantástica: If you want to heal and start feeling better, this is the place! I had a hamstring injury that caused me chronic pain for 10 years. I had seen several different PT’s over time but no one was able to fully fix the problem. After the first visit at Convergence I knew I was in good hands! It’s taken some time to get better because an injury this long isn’t a quick fix, but I’m healing! My chronic pain has gone way down and I’m able to do things I haven’t been able to do in a very long time! I 100% ewccommend Convergencept!

Experiencia fantástica: Mariel at Convergence is an amazing PT. She's been helping to sort out some chronic overuse knee pain and other posture issues from cycling. Her care, attention, and knowhow have given me a sense that I'm (finally!) on the path to recovery. She was able to diagnose the underlying skeletal and postural problems that gave rise to the pain (turns out your ribs, diaphragm, and pelvis do ultimately connect to your knee )... and has worked with me on several subtle movements to not only relieve the pain, but actually correct my posture on and off the bike. She also volunteered to work with a DO I've been seeing to team up on my case. It's rare to feel this cared for in the professional medical world. But Mariel and the folks at Convergence seem to truly be in it to help people. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Convergence as a senior runner with a lifelong history of knee pain. Tyler evaluated me and developed a treatment plan to strengthen muscles, alter posture and modify/coordinate movement. I am now running pain-free, and am even able to run down hills on my route. I had sought physical therapy about ten years ago for this issue but had not seen benefit from traditional PT exercises and treatment. That therapist felt I should not pursue further running, and so I quit running for another ten years or so. So glad I found Convergence. They work with athletes who are beset by symptoms that haven't prevented them from continuing with their sports, but who would like to find solutions from pain or other problems that prevent their best performance.

Experiencia fantástica: Convergence is a top tier physical therapy clinic, and Tyler's depth of knowledge in biomechanics and strength training is incredible. As a fellow physical therapist, I've learned a ton from Tyler. And not only is Tyler a super sharp PT, he's also personable and engaging. Convergence is THE place to go in Eugene for all your physical therapy and sports performance needs.

Experiencia fantástica: I am so pleased with my experience at Convergence. I was dealing with a wonky shoulder (that's the clinical term, I'm sure) that was making Olympic lifting a tad uncomfortable. Mariel handily diagnosed my issues and set me up with the tools and the stretches I needed to get it back in working order. I am so grateful! My original issue is fixed, and we're now working on keeping the rest of my body in sustainable shape based on both my athletic activities and my daily life requirements. The entire staff is super friendly, and the personally tailored workouts and stretches are top notch. I highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend this place I came here to get help with my anterior pelvic tilt that I developed from years behind a desk. Tyler has helped not only make this so much better but also make me stronger and healthier at the same time. I feel so fortunate to have found him.

Experiencia fantástica: Very good therapy. Dr. Tanaka helped me regain motion and strength in my arm after it was broken. He is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. I highly recommend Convergence Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: I’m now I’m my 14th week of training with Mariel and it has helped me so much with my speed and I’ve even added a few inches to my vertical. I have also struggled with knee pain and shin splints in the past and these sessions have been incredibly helpful in eliminating that.

Experiencia fantástica: We did team strength programming at convergence for the UO club frisbee team and it has been amazing! There’s programming via an app with something for you to do every day, and our physical therapist Mariel Hammond did an awesome job coaching us and helping with any injuries. Not to mention the gym space at convergence is super cool and has anything you could need for your workout. I also see Dr. Hammond for my own personal physical therapy, and she does a great job of trying to find the root cause of the injury, rather than just managing the pain.

Experiencia fantástica: Mariel made a significant impact on my dominant arm regaining its range of motion and strength after a scary rollover crash I experienced one foggy morning on the way to work. Someone ran a stop sign into me at 55mph. As a former collegiate runner, and basketball player who has an active career, my ability to move is very important to me. After my arm surgery I was worried that I would never feel like an athlete again. My arm was very much stuck when I got out of my cast. Mariel was very kind and relateable, and very knowledgeable in techniques for treatment, while also being creative in making exercises fun. I am now running, lifting weights, and shooting a basketball again, getting stronger, and am back to fulfilling my career duties. I loved Convergence PT’s facility, as it has a sick gym space. I recommend them with all my heart. The staff is professional and friendly, and is eager to help you get back to where you want to be and beyond. I’m convinced that if I had gone elsewhere, I would have not seen the same great results. Thank you Mariel for helping me in my journey to healing! If you are looking to make a comeback after an injury, no matter how scary, Convergence can help you get there.

Experiencia fantástica: Convergence PT/Sports Performance has a top tier team and facility! I started going there for PT because of long term shoulder issues and have continued with the strength/conditioning to maintain and improve for my sport. There are always good vibes in the building and the practitioners have an excellent understanding of the human body and how to treat it. I injured my back in training and could barely sleep but was able to get scheduled the next morning with Mariel and with that one session got my range of motion almost to 100% and she gave me the tools to keep recovering so that I could return to training ASAP. Convergence is the best!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. I’m a basketball player and I had shin splints for years but after going there for a couple times my shins feel a lot better. Made me jump way higher and overall performance improved. I’m getting help with weight training too now. All around amazing place.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Mariel is so awesome! She's helped me through many adventures, always impressing me with her skills to get me through whatever crazy injury I manage to find. One in particular was a pinched nerve in my neck which sidelined my health/fitness goals for longer than I care to admit. While a slow journey as pinched nerves usually are, along with her help I'm returning to life and my goals are finally within reach again. And I'm over the moon about it! She has a magical way of meeting me where I am (physically, etc) and guiding my care around my fitness level, goals, and what I can realistically take on between visits. She makes healing, recovery, and improving performance accessible and achievable (no matter what your 'performance' goals are!). She's a rock star! I've not seen Dr Tyler as a patient but have had some chats with him, and he is pretty darn awesome and super knowledgeable! When it comes to add-on bonuses, you won't get any better than Loren. He is also super knowledgeable, inspiring, and so much fun to have as a trainer!

Experiencia fantástica: Group training and PT with Dr. Mariel are yielding results. Though the group was not working on it directly I added 3”’s to my standing vert!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had knee pain for years and have gone through multiple PTs and none of them have helped until I found Convergence. The PTs here truly know how the body functions and help you fix your problem from multiple different angles (strength, balance, activation, etc.) Also, you feel cared for at this PT clinic, appointments are an hour and I’ve stayed over an hour multiple times so they can finish what we were working on.

Experiencia fantástica: We love the facility and the staff! Super knowledgeable and able to make sure you get the attention you need to keep you on track!

Experiencia fantástica: Fun and encouraging environment. Been going consistently for 3 months for our volleyball team. We have seen great results on the court with our movements and strength. It is helpful that they are licensed PT's to accommodate our workouts to different injuries.

Experiencia fantástica: I walked into Convergence with multiple injuries, and a complete distain for strength training as I was always in some type of pain or discomfort when attempting to lift. After my first consultation with Tyler Tanaka I knew my perspective was in for a major change. Fast forward I have been working with Tyler almost a year now. My body is in the best condition it has ever been. Not only have the injuries cleared up but I've increased muscle mass and strength, and we are beginning to work on more mobility. I look forward to my workouts now! This is due to feeling great during and after my workout. There is a lot of false information out there, as well as a lot of folks like myself that thought they could fix their issues with videos found online/social. I have recommended many folks go to Convergence and heard similar results from those that have visited. Tyler is the owner of Convergence and I would call him an All-Star physical therapist. That being said the staff there is just as amazing, knowledgeable, and eager to help you reach your health goals. In order to get results you need a Professional, and everyone at Convergence is a that and more. - UFC Welterweight Adam Fugitt

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler and his team have done a great job writing our volleyball team a lifting program. We have been lifting consistently for about a month now and we're already seeing the results on the court. It is also beneficial that he is a licensed PT, so he knows the movements that will help us succeed.

Experiencia fantástica: Convergence physical therapy and performance is a great pt space! Super spacious and clean, with top notch equipment. Everyone from the scheduling CO, Mikki, to the other PT, Tyler, has been so great. They are helpful and welcoming. I started seeing Dr. Mariel Hammond after I fractured my tibia, week 5. My leg feels so much better after working with her. She takes a whole body approach too which I love. Very knowledgeable, attentive and thorough as a provider. I highly recommend Dr Mariel Hammond - I can’t say enough good because she has helped me so much. She knows her stuff! Absolute best :)

Experiencia fantástica: I've had a really positive experience at Convergence--Tyler and Mariel are welcoming, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. Dr Mariel provided me with a thorough, personalized assessment and a plan for working towards improvement that was both holistic and manageable. The encouragement, care and personalization I received at Convergence felt truly exceptional in the realm of physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: I can't speak highly enough of the care I received from Convergence Physical Therapy. Mariel and Tyler are extremely knowledgeable and invested in your care and rehab, unlike anything I've experienced in PT before. I have made great progress on a chronic issue that I do not think would have been possible without Mariel's assistance. Her in depth knowledge and holistic approach are refreshing and it is very much worth the price. She will help you understand the “what”, “why” and how to prevent future issues, and not simply mask them for a short period. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: this place rocks! My grandpa and I have been going for a couple months, and we are both moving much better. Tyler really fixes your whole body instead of just treating symptoms. If you haven't already, it is time to converge

Experiencia fantástica: I am very impressed with Tyler's knowledge & abilities. He definitely helped me.

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly reccomend Tyler if you're suffering from sensory integration issues and chronic pain! Tyler is the TENTH pt I saw and probably the last :) I came in to see Tyler because I had a wacky sensory integration issue caused by a concussion and couldn't use my left side very well. I was in a pain even lying down or walking a few hundered feet. Tyler understood and explained my brain's role in my pain. Instead of coaching me to push myself in painful positions like squats to get stronger, we went to the root cause which was totally necessary. I did six sessions or so. I had progress every time. Now I can walk skip and jump once again!

Experiencia fantástica: I have battled nagging sports injuries for years while learning to live with the pain. Tyler’s approach to treatment is the first to get me results. He is the best PT in town!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot speak highly enough about Convergence Physical Therapy and Performance. We were recommended after my son sustained an injury in a football game. Tyler is very knowledgeable about sports injury and was essential in getting my son back in the game. Tyler is incredibly professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Convergence.

Experiencia fantástica: I signed up for 10 sessions with Tyler after I had worked with trainers and chiropractors for months without improvement in my patellar tendinitis. He found exercises that were unique to my progress and designed workouts and strength training that fit my fitness goals as a collegiate basketball player. I saw improvements within the first few sessions and have seen lasting results throughout the months that followed. I highly recommend Convergence Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler is a miracle worker! He's helped to improve my 20 years of chronic pain through innovative exercises & hands-on techniques that completely changed the way I think about my physiology. Like any PT, you have to be consistent and do the work.. but it works! He is highly knowledgeable, patient, warm, and trauma-informed. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the best Physical Therapist in the area. After almost a year of suffering in pain and trying all types of therapies, including other PTs in the area, I was resolved to living with chronic pain and limited mobility. Tyler was able to assess, identify, and treat my issues in the first session in a way that gave me hope for the first time in a long time. I am finally spending days pain free and recovering mobility I haven’t had since before my injury. Honestly, it feels like actual magic. If you are are in pain or suffering from a loss of mobility, seeing Tyler has to be a priority.

Experiencia fantástica: I signed up for 10 sessions with Tyler and he was extremely helpful. His approach to the body as a whole and getting to the root cause of an issue worked very well for me. I was having issues with severe calf cramps, which I thought were from some lower back issues. He found that the issue was not my lower back and made corrections in my upper back which helped resolve the issue. He is very knowledgable about PT and the human body and I highly recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: As a collegiate athlete I was skeptical of PRI as a viable form of treatment for a pelvic issue that I had failed to progress in any way over the course of a year. Having tried multiple PT's I had been assured that I a return to soccer was not just unlikely but impossible. Coming in with that assumption I was transparent with Tyler about my concerns surrounding the treatment philosophy all of which he was patient and understanding of. Ultimately, as a patient in any context being understood is invaluable and Tyler went to extensive lengths to ensure as much. Fast forward three months(meeting on a weekly basis) and my final session has switched from recovery to performance mechanics as we worked on sprinting- incredible. Naturally, the progress along the way wasn't linear but it was Tyler's patience and willingness to adapt that served as a continual motivator. In the end, my determination to return to sport combined with Tyler's professionalism and experience has set me back on the path to the athleticism - invaluable. So whether you're an athlete looking to enhance your performance OR experiencing pain like i was, consider paying Convergence a visit, you won't regret it.

Experiencia fantástica: I was seeing a conventional chiropractor before I decided to visit convergence PT. He was able to identify the causes of my pain and immobility with ease. After the first session I no longer had the stiffness and pain I was experiencing prior, and mobility increased drastically. I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism!

Experiencia fantástica: We found Tyler because of a football injury. After the first visit there was noticeable healing---and it only continued with each visit. With such a great experience with the injury we had another family member seen for issues with his posture. The results were incredible. Tyler was compassionate, knowledgeable, and helpful. We tell so many people about Convergence!

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler was excellent is aiding me through my groin and knee injury’s. I played collegiate basketball and I couldn’t find anyone to help me with my injury’s until I found Tyler who helped me make a full recovery and feeling better then ever. 5/5 would recommend for anyone!!

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler is the most exceptional physical therapist I have worked with. Decades of impact athletics/work combined with neck degeneration and anxiety co conditions, have made recovering from major neck surgery exceptionally difficult. His enlightened, patient, and calming techniques have been the most help of all. The PRI techniques, his skill during sessions, his listening skills, and his guidance, is truly the only pain relief I've received.

Experiencia fantástica: After years of on and off yet increasing hip/knee issues, my most recent pain flair up pointed me toward surgery. But after hearing about how Dr. Tanaka had helped my friend via the PRI approach I was open to his PT before I went under the knife. I’m glad I took the time to see him. I’ve seen half a dozen PTs throughout my life for various injuries I’ve had varying results. The PRI approach that Dr. Tanaka uses was very different. He asked key questions and focused on my scoliosis. He gave me a macro level explanation of my ongoing injuries and issues, something I hadn’t experienced with other PTs. The exercises he’s given me as homework were certainly different than those I’m used to, but the results have been great! I’m in a much better place now than I was a few months ago and excited to continue to make progress and use the tools he’s given me to avoid falling back into an injury pattern. Dr. Tanaka is fun to work with. I’ve enjoyed the friendly conversation during my visits, and really appreciate his attention to detail and patience with me working with him to figure out the issues. Thanks Tyler!

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly reccomend Tyler if you're suffering from sensory integration issues and chronic pain! Tyler is the TENTH pt I saw and probably the last :) I came in to see Tyler because I had a wacky sensory integration issue caused by a concussion and couldn't use my left side very well. I was in a pain even lying down or walking a few hundered feet. Tyler understood and explained my brain's role in my pain. Instead of coaching me to push myself in painful positions like squats to get stronger, we went to the root cause which was totally necessary. I did six sessions or so. I had progress every time. Now I can walk skip and jump once again!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough great things about Tyler!! His wholistic approach and methods are exactly what I was looking for. I’ve had physical therapy in the past, and while the treatments were initially successful, the symptoms always returned. Tyler’s methodology and treatments look beyond the initial symptoms for the root cause of the problem and the results just keep coming. He’s very knowledgeable, patient and takes the time to explain the “what” and “why”.

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler’s knowledge of anatomy and body mechanics is unparalleled. I’ve been to countless chiropractors, bodyworkers and tried everything from Alexander Technique to Rolfing for my posture and pain. Nothing has been able to address my specific idiosyncratic holding patterns to the detail and exactitude Tyler has. I highly recommend his work! It will change your life!

Experiencia fantástica: Worked with a couple PTs before meeting Tyler and had zero improvements. After working with Tyler i was able to go back to playing sports with zero pain and in even better shape!! I recommend him on 110%!!

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler is a top notch physical therapist who really gets to the core of what you need. His simple approach has immediate effects and will leave you feeling better after the first session. If you want to heal your body the right way, go see him. You won’t be disappointed!

Experiencia fantástica: Convergence PT is worth every cent. Tyler is a master of his profession. I have done PT with about a dozen therapists over the years; Tyler is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled PTs I have worked with. Thanks to Tyler helping me with a reaggravated shoulder injury, I am back in the game and in some of the best shape of my life at 39. If you've got issues and want to get better, go to Convergence and see Tyler.

Experiencia fantástica: The treatment I receive at Convergence Physical Therapy is life changing! Living in debilitating chronic pain for years has led me to work with many great health professionals, but Dr. Tanaka’s approach to healing has been one of the most productive. He treats my injuries with a revolutionary postural restoration approach, always listening to my feedback and working with a patient, encouraging, inventive mindset. His skill set provides excellent care for both my acute and chronic issues. I am regaining the ability to walk, run, climb, surf, bike.. to do all the things that I love to do! I highly recommend Dr. Tanaka to anyone who is pursuing healing and wellness!

Experiencia fantástica: As a local chiropractor in the Eugene area, I have referred patients and utilized Dr. Tanaka's services personally with great success! He is extremely knowledgeable and empowers his patients with his unique approach to rehabilitation. Dr. Tanaka is very thorough with his evaluation and spends up to an hour with his patients which is unheard of.

Experiencia fantástica: Seven months ago, l began seeing Dr Tanaka after an ankle surgery. He appeared as one who could help not only with post-surgery rehab, but more so, correct my bad form and joint loading to prevent future injuries. Although not an athlete (just a grubby construction worker in his 50s), I've had a life of constant preventable injuries from recreation, work and even exercise. All surgeries and most treatments I've received have been joint/soft tissue related. The number of visits I've had with the MRI scanner is sickening; if I ever slide into one again, I'll probably puke in it. During the first several visits of PT, Tyler was very hands-on. After months of being cemented in a boot, he quickly restored my foot and ankle mobility through manual manipulation and a few take-home exercises. With no imaging, Tyler could determine my current state of healing and what we needed to do to promote it. When first attempting to walk, it was impossible to have heel strike, maintain balance, and trust my new rebuild. Then, after Tyler positioned me into some odd but simple positions while lying on my side, I could instantly make strides and actually walk. I don't understand the science behind his 'neurological' methodology, but it's fascinating nonetheless. With no disregard to the recovery plan outlined by my surgeon, Tyler was able to fast-track my healing (and confidence) at least 4-5 weeks ahead of schedule. After these first several sessions of PT, we began working on decades of poor form and breathing- the culprits behind my nonstop injuries. At this point, it seems like I went from Tyler's patient to his student. As he varies exercises, some sessions were an absolute blast, some frustrating and others enjoyable- then to go home and realize I'm not making connections that week. He's always been patient, encouraging and confidently reassuring when the ride has gotten bumpy. Although unable to return to Convergence the last several months, a mindfulness of body position and breath have been developing. Working only with several of Tyler's prescribed exercises (that I'm not very good at), I continue to find more and more periods of relief, and a sensation of lightness from heels and knees, through the SI and lumbar region to the shoulders. Having a ways to go before achieving the strength to autonomously maintain good postural alignment, I'll always be eager to return to Convergence to continue my education. Tyler is elite. A trainer to some and a doctor to others, his service is unique. It's awesome to not be hurriedly booted from the room so the next client can be rushed in. He truly desires strength, injury prevention and healing. Although professional, he can be pretty funny too. It's been really valuable spending time with him and I'm so thankful for this incredible resource.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been seeing Tyler for about 3 months and with his 10 session package I’ve had amazing results. When I first came to Tyler I had pain in my lower back during strength training, playing soccer and even just standing at work. Now I am able to perform all the activities I love with no pain and optimal performance to make sure it doesn’t happen again! Tyler differs from any other physical therapists I’ve seen. THE BIGGEST difference is that you will get personalized guidance/therapy, you won’t be put through the same routine every appointment and just do generic exercises. Tyler provided me the tools to optimize the performance of my body so that I didn’t experience pain anymore. He also taught me new techniques to use in terms of weight training and running! I would HIGHLY recommend Convergence Physical Therapy to anyone who truly cares about their physical health.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been going to Tyler for a couple months now and have seen tremendous results. After going to numerous other chiropractors, physical therapists and doctors, Tyler was the only one that could acknowledge and understand my wide array of symptoms. Since seeing him I have been able to get back to a somewhat normal life again, after years of constant pain and discomfort. I appreciate how he approaches the body as a whole and aims to get to the root cause, rather than just addressing symptoms. He is also very attentive, accessible, and supportive. I always look forward to our appointments and I leave them feeling significantly better. I would highly recommend Tyler and Convergence PT!

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler is the man! Years of poor posture as a full time barber was really taking a toll on my body. With his expertise he was able to help me with some exercises that made a huge difference in lowering my pain level.

Experiencia fantástica: Not great yet . But improved from start

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Tyler changed everything for me. I had a rotator cuff issue from CrossFit and he was so knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in detail to me and gave me a lot of instruction on how to prevent this from reoccurring. He took an extended amount of one on one time with me and I was able to get back to CrossFit within a short time. The pricing was transparent and I definitely recommend this style of PT if you want to get better faster. Well worth it!

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler's a very good communicator. I went to see him concerning some lower back issues. He explained the physiology of what was going on with my back in a way anyone can understand. After accessing the back situation he had me do some stretches & exercises to address that area and took video's with my cell so I can reference how to use these techniques in the future. In short, he's a very knowledgeable Physical Therapist.

Experiencia fantástica: Late last year I ended up developing a shoulder issue that just wasn't getting any better, I wasn't able to progress at the gym with upper body movements, I could not sleep without pain constantly waking me up. Not wanting to go through the Dr and all that entailed I reached out to Tyler to see if he could help me. He most certainly could! With his knowledge, and expertise, and being able to work beyond insurance controlled pt, I was fairly quickly able to get back to doing the things I wanted to do. He not only works to have you back up and functioning but also takes the time to educate. Which means today I am pain free, and back to being able to do all the things I couldn't do at the time, and sleeping pain free! For anyone reading these reviews I would highly recommend that you give Tyler a call, or send an email to him, it is worth it.

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen a few PTs and chiropractors for an injury to my right elbow and issues with my right shoulder/upper back and neck. I wasn’t able to do push ups or bench press without neck, shoulder, or elbow pain. Majority of my work is with my hands In the OR, looking down in front of me, with a dash of standing all day in one position. This elbow injury was a huge detriment to my day to day activity and livelihood. I went to one location and had my elbow worked on but never really felt like i was at an acceptable level for my job or going back to weight lifting. I was denied at other places because I was not functionally impaired enough to qualify for insurance to pay for PT. Fortunately, I met Tyler last Fall at Cascade Peak Performance and found him to be personable, professional, and extremely knowledgable in his field with fair prices. He looked at my breathing, my posture, and where my mechanics could benefit from his help. His approach was not the usual fix the acute injury along with weekly visits, and hope it doesn’t get worse. We took care of the initial injury and managed to resolve the shoulder/ upper back/neck issues as well. I was back at 100% after 2 visits and haven’t had any issues since seeing Tyler. The exercises and tips he gave me were simple and easy to practice whether at work or at the gym. I am extremely satisfied with the results I got in such a short amount of time. I can’t recommend Tyler enough, he is a gem and Lane county is lucky to have him. I also appreciate that he takes HSA instead of going through insurance and trying to get approval. If anyone is ever looking for a PT I will always recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: Before going to Convergence PT , I had been struggling for years with low back/hip/thigh and calf tightness all varying to different degrees of intensity and discomfort. Nothing was ever debilitating but basic movements like walking and bending over were becoming more and more uncomfortable. I had knee surgery on both of my knees within the last decade and while I followed the rehab after the surgery in the years after the rehab I began to wonder how my knees could be contributing to my issues. So my goals while working with Convergence PT were to be able to move easier and more comfortably without the tightness pervading in my lower back/hip/thigh and calf. These goals have been met and then some. Not only is the tightness nearly completely gone but also the strength is coming back to those muscles and lightness now pervades these areas. Another huge added benefit with much of the tightness being gone is much deeper and less interrupted sleep. I'd gone to standard PT practices with my complaints and would target just the areas I'd be complaining about without treating my body as a whole. Convergence PT looked at all of my body mechanics while taking into account my complete medical history and without being tied down to insurance claims he was able to treat all parts of my body mechanics needing attention. Standard PT you only see the PT for a few minutes. At Convergence PT the PT is with me for the entire session. I chose Convergence PT as I was looking for someone who was using techniques related to those taught at the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) which takes into account all of the body's systems during treatment (neurological, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, etc.). I 1000% recommend Convergence PT, it's been a transformative experience akin to being reintroduced to my body before all of my surgeries, physically I haven't felt this good in over ten years.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a back issue caused from an injury at work that was pretty sever. I work a physically demanding job so this was really debilitating and inhibiting me from working at full capacity. I needed results fast and lasting and ultimately decided to use Convergence because of how much time per session he was able to spend on me. Deciding to not use insurance to get longer more effective pt sessions directly translated to to faster improvement. Today I am completely pain free and have full functionality and have even been able to return to my fitness regimen. I am happy I spent the extra time to get my body right.

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler has been a life saver for me. He truly understands the body and can get me to a rebalanced place within one session, no matter how random a pain location or soreness I start the session with. Not only is he PRI certified, he also understands strength and endurance training. He looks beyond a typical treatment plan of PT towards a path of regular exercise. When COVID started, we transitioned to telehealth and the sessions were just as effective because of Tyler’s knowledge of the body.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Tyler changed everything for me. I had a rotator cuff issue from CrossFit and he was so knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in detail to me and gave me a lot of instruction on how to prevent this from reoccurring. He took an extended amount of one on one time with me and I was able to get back to CrossFit within a short time. The pricing was transparent and I definitely recommend this style of PT if you want to get better faster. Well worth it!

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler has been incredible to work with! I’ve been seeing him for two months now, using PRI techniques for hip/back/knee and movement-based issues I’ve had for years. Each session I go to, I know I’m going to get quality attention on the issues that have come up for me since we’ve last met and careful instruction on the techniques we’re working on. Something that I really appreciate a lot about Tyler is how personally invested and curious he is about the work he does. We’ve had a lot of interesting conversations about approaches to movement/physical health/wellness and he has shared his wealth of knowledge and experience that has really broadened my perspective on how I can approach those areas in my own life. In the past, I’ve had probably the more common PT experience of seeing a PTA for twenty minutes and then seeing a PT for twenty minutes. This made it difficult to build the personal continuity necessary to really understand the issues I needed help with. With Tyler, I get a full hour of 1-1 attention which has been so helpful for me to more deeply understand my issues and how I can help myself. To anyone and especially to anyone who has seen a more conventional PT and felt like they didn’t get the attention or instruction they needed, I highly recommend Convergence Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: Tyler is a phenomenal physical therapist and trainer. He really listens to patients and understands their changing goal and needs. I've grown steadily stronger and more stable since I started working with Tyler. He has worked to correct my longstanding, incorrect movement patterns. Working with Tyler is not just going through the motions. His great knowledge of the human body will ensure that you are moving correctly and help you recover or reach your goals sustainably. He quickly adapted to online sessions since the lockdown (pandemic) and they are just as effective and productive as in-person sessions. You'd be in great hands with Tyler.
