We are movement specialists who work with motivated and active clients to optimize their performance without the use of pain medications or surgery. The human body is a truly remarkable organism that has incredible abilities to heal. However, sometimes we need help to understand how to access these abilities and facilitate the healing process. At Perfect Stride, we are trained to not only get to the root cause of your issue, but also to consider your entire health ecosystem in our decision-making process. We are trained to pinpoint contributing factors that are affecting your health such as diet, sleep, stress or other medical concerns and we have a vast network of health professionals that we can recommend to you if needed.

Education is a very critical part of our philosophy at Perfect Stride. As the saying goes, “knowledge is power” and we could not agree more. Information is easier to obtain than ever before but how do we make sense of all of this information that is at our fingertips? There is a lot of misinformation that is being spread about movement, injury and rehab, and this can greatly hinder your recovery and increase your likelihood of injury in the future. This gross misinformation campaign is very widespread and includes statements such as:
pronation is bad – the knee extension machine is bad for your knees – you shouldn’t bend your spine – you shouldn’t let your knees go over your toes – your pelvis/spine is out of alignment – you have to keep your spine straight when you lift – your posture is causing your pain – all pain is bad so don’t move if you have pain – you should avoid the position that you got injured in – your MRI/x-ray findings define you and your pain experience – your disc slipped – running is bad for your knees and back
These statements, along with many others, can be damaging to your health and performance. While there may be a place and time to observe some of these statements, it rarely (if ever) should be considered an absolute truth. This is why we know that education is the single most important component of your successful movement journey. The more informed you are about your treatment, the better you can be an active participant in your movement journey, which will lead to YOU moving and feeling your best!
“Perfect Stride is my go-to facility for sports PT and rehabilitation. I know several of the physical therapists there, though I most often see Joe L. They're incredibly thoughtful and accommodating — important for scheduling! — and followup is always superb (having your PT homework emailed to you? incredibly convenient)."

"Perfect Stride was the best PT place I could have asked for when dealing with my first major sprain. I got great coaching and advice from the knowledgeable therapists on how to work on regaining strength in my ankle and my therapy was nothing short of excellent. I would highly recommend Perfect Stride to anyone in need of physical therapy, especially athletes."
