Our Story
A Fresh Outlook on Comprehensive Care
Our Failing System
After nearly 15 years as a physical therapist, I came to the realization that we are practicing under an inefficient medical model. Patients spend increasing amounts of hard-earned money, only to spend less and less time with medical practitioners. Then when they are “good enough,” they are discharged to a home exercise program due to limitations in the insurance they are paying into.
Enter Performance Physical Therapy
My goal is to challenge the current medical model and work to help patients not only get “good enough,” but to help them reach their individual performance goals. Rather than focusing on high volume and sacrificing quality of care, Tyre Physical Therapy & Performance, LLC will take the opportunity to provide customized one-on-one care and treat you through the full course of care in order to help you take your life back.
If you choose Tyre Physical Therapy & Performance, LLC, we promise that “good enough” is not an option. You can expect a comprehensive care plan that will include high level physical therapy with performance programming in order to help you reach your individualized goals and perform at your best.
