Feel Stronger & More Confident
One-on-one Care
Accomplishments
99% of clients feel stronger and more confident in just 6 weeks.
Your Body Shouldn't Be the Reason You Stop Doing What You Love.
Maybe something that used to feel easy doesn’t anymore.
Your back bothers you after golf.
Your knee changes how you work out.
Your shoulder limits what you can lift.
You feel stiffer, weaker, or less confident than you used to.
And eventually you start wondering:
“Is this something I’m just supposed to accept as I get older?”
At Performance Edge PT, we believe getting older does not automatically mean giving up an active life.
The goal is not simply to avoid movement.
The goal is to understand what’s limiting you and build your body so you can continue doing the things that make life enjoyable.

Find the Right Support for the Life You Want to Keep Living
Physical Therapy
For pain, injury, post-operative recovery, or physical limitations that require skilled rehabilitation.
We’ll help you understand what’s limiting you, measure your progress, rebuild capacity, and work toward the activities you want to return to.
Strength and Longevity
For adults who no longer need physical therapy—or aren’t injured—but want professional guidance becoming stronger and staying capable long term.
Golf Performance
For golfers who want to improve the physical qualities that support their game, including strength, mobility, balance, rotational capacity, power, and durability.

Maybe you want to return to the gym.
Finish 18 holes comfortably.
Travel without worrying about how much walking is involved.
Keep playing pickleball.
Work in your garden.
Stay strong enough to keep up with your family.
Your care should be built around those goals.
At Performance Edge PT, treatment is individualized around what you want your body to be able to do.

Juanita G.
I wholeheartedly trust Dr Spencer with my PT needs. She is an excellent instructor who patiently listens and interprets all of the symptoms and can adjust the treatment as needed. She has been my biggest supporter as I worked through pain and continue to build strength and balance. She has given me tools and confidence to continue on without her. I will miss her!!
Cathy h.
I recommend Dr. Spencer for anyone with pain, or injuries (old & new), mobility issues and otherwise fit athletes. She's a lifelong athlete with a passion for helping others. I am feeling much better as a result of her care and treatment. I've never really experienced this kind of one on one treatment and I sure wish I had much earlier during my career. Anyone reading this and considering seeing her. I recommend you make that call. You will be very happy with your results.
