Physical Therapy Reviews
Kind words from happy clients.
“Hetal explained everything so well during our session. She stretched out my hips, where I’ve had some discomfort; gave me some guidance on building up some strength in key areas, since I have a desk job. I really appreciated her taking her time with me. I’ll be going back! Excellent physical therapist!”
— Andy Cone
“Hetal is different from all other physical therapists with whom I’ve worked. She specifically tailors the types of exercises to one’s specific need at the time. Using a wide variety of stretching and strengthening techniques, she also provides message and balance training to address the precise needs of the time. She specifically tailors each session to that day’s session to produce maximum results. Knowledgeable in a full range of skills, she is able to zero in on what is needed for maximum benefits. So glad she’s guiding me through my exact needs. She’s simply the best and most knowledgeable PT I’ve ever had!”
— Thomas Calhoun
“Hetal is an excellent physical therapist. After I fell, my shoulder was bothering me a lot and she was able to help me with getting and feeling 100% better. I highly recommend any one who has been in a lot of pain or just wants to feel better needs to go to performanceabove.”

“Hetal is an excellent physical therapist! After I fell and severely injured my knee Hetal helped me by showing me what I needed to during my physical therapy as well as to what to do when I work out on my own. I highly recommend any one who has been injured, suffering from some type of pain, or just need some guidance after an injury to check out performanceabove! The name says it all!”

“Hetal is awesome. Her knowledge is invaluable. I have never needed PT before as this my first injury that needed professional help. “Shoulder Impingement “ she has me moving and feeling better. Couldn’t have done this without her .”
— Channing Smith
“I was nursing a years long shoulder injury when I started going to Performance Above. In less than two months I am able to move my shoulder and on my way to recovery. She is also addressing the body imbalance issues that resulted from having a long-term injury.”

“The review comments on google are quite accurate. Having had PT on several occasions, the difference with Hetal is quite clear. 1 on 1 sessions with the owner means that your rehab program is going to be well tailored and managed. I especially appreciated the insights she provided and the creative ways she tailored exercises for my goals and limitations. I tend to want to understand "the why" as I thinks it helps me focus on the correct body sequences and Hetal certainly is well versed in those concepts and has a range of activities to get your body to respond. So in conclusion a very personalized program to help in whatever you are trying to do along with as much as you want to know about it.”
— Stephen Gould

“Hetal is not your run of the mill Physical Therapist. She works differently by creating an individualized treatment plan based on her detailed evaluation of what your body needs instead of a cookie cutter protocol. She is knowledgeable and very focused. I was particularly impressed with her manual manipulation skills. I’ve been seeing her for rehabilitation from a knee surgery. In just one session, she helped me turn the corner to get my strength back. She treats the whole body not just the parts. I came in with a headache I had for 2 weeks that neither my Massage Therapist or Chiropractor good help with. She worked her magic on my neck and it’s completely gone.”

She also helped me personally when my neck locked up and was able to significantly reduce my pain right away and taught me some exercises that I still do! Thank you Hetal and miss working with you!”

“Hetal did a very thorough evaluation that helped me move better, showed me my weak areas so that I could make the most out of my strength training time. End result was what I wanted: faster sprint triathlon time.”

“The healing process after a wreck is so crucial since you are not only trying to get better physically but also emotionally from the trauma. I loved how Hetal was so personable, thorough, knowledgeable and patient throughout my therapy. She always took time to understand my lifestyle, my body and at the same time my daily activities so I could perform at a better level and see progress. I highly recommend to pursue your therapy through Performanceabove because it’s beyond Physical Therapy, it’s a relationship.”
— Hareesh Paul
“I just had an amazing experience this week with PerformanceAbove. Hetal is a PT who specializes in golf performance, but her comprehensive physical fitness evaluation and coaching program are useful for athletes involved in other sports such as tennis and horseback riding. My goal this past year was to become the strongest and most flexible dressage rider possible. After multiple surgeries over the years — foot, knee, wrist, and spine — I’ve had my challenges achieving all my goals. I contacted Hetal because I wanted an analysis of where I needed to focus my attention. I wanted to increase my range of motion, but not at the expense of stability. During the assessment, Hetal pinpointed my weaknesses and then developed a clear, customized program for me to follow at home. We are planning on ten weekly sessions to follow up and re-assess my progress. Hetal is a rare physical therapist — a consummate professional — along with a nurturing heart. Whether you are a golf professional or you just want to be active and age gracefully — I highly recommend PerformanceAbove.”
