Performance Physical Therapy

The staff at Performance Physical Therapy are truly good people, kind and thoughtful. The facility is clean, with sanitation protocols employed after each client. Amelia Llanos, my therapist, brought me back from a total knee replacement with hard work (on her part), imagination, and good humor. I have several painful arthritic joints. She dealt with my surgery knee while protecting the others.

Amelia was patient and as gentle as possible, while successfully rebuilding my capacity to flex, extend, and balance. Her awareness of both my physical and emotional needs was beneficial. Thanks to her sensitivity and skill, I often left PT feeling more positive about my recovery than when I arrived. Couldn't have done it without her, without all of them.

The best of the best! I have been 'saved' a number if times over the years by Angela and her team. I saw several PTs before finding her. No one else listened, understood, and treated my needs as well. She doesn't just give exercises. She has amazing strength and 'wisdom' in her hands. I am immensely grateful for the competent, compassionate care they give. They have made my life much better and keep me moving!

After shoulder surgery and subsequently a frozen shoulder, I spent from 3 to 5 days a week for over a year receiving physical therapy from the Performance PT team. I am very grateful and wholeheartedly recommend them.

Brian, the owner, was recommended to me as the best shoulder person in town by my orthopedic surgeon's office. He and his team, (Alicia, Katrina, Angela), through their knowledge and compassionate support, helped me both physically and emotionally recover from some very dark, painful times. They work very intuitively with you and with each other solving problems.

The whole staff is upbeat and welcoming (thanks Katie, Brandon, Lauren) . The office has a positive vibe, clean private rooms and updated equipment.

I have a personal and professional extensive understanding of PT providers in terms of what the expectation of the referring physician is and how PT providers address that expectation. I needed PT for a very serious low back problem which prevented me from walking more than a block, and had me locked in pain, numbness and tingling throughout my right leg and foot 24/7. Based on feedback from my clients who needed and sought physical therapy from several providers in the Bellingham area, I chose performance physical therapy. My symptoms presented a complicated and pretty much unique case. Performance physical therapy worked with me to find stretches and exercises, which gave me great relief.
It was a pleasure working with them, and I was very impressed how they approached the problem and identified specific muscles and tendons to massage and exercises that significantly reduced the pain, allowing me to walk at least five times as far without Pain.
Once they found, working with me, the stretches and exercises that provided relief and gave me the necessary detailed instructions as to how to do the exercises correctly and stretch correctly, with my concurrence, they put me on a “return as needed” basis.
The staff Was professional, Polite, and dialed in. Their facilities were inviting and calming. My experience far exceeded what my expectations were. I would not hesitate to recommend performance physical therapy to anyone having need.
Finally, it was an educational experience for me. I thought I knew about the anatomy of the low back, and what was causing my exceptional pain, but they discovered muscles. I didn’t even know existed, which were the source of my problems.

At Performance PT, they've mastered the art of making you feel both physically and emotionally 'well-done.' With their rigorous exercises and relentless stretching routines, you'll start to question if you're at a rehab center or a twisted Pilates class.

That being said, the PT team at Performance are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, creating personalized treatment plans tailored to my specific needs. They not only helped me recover from my injury but also empowered me with exercises and techniques to prevent future issues. If you're in need of physical therapy, I highly recommend Performance PT.

Katie and Brandon are so efficient and friendly at the reception desk. PT with Amelia was helpful and fun. After shoulder surgery and my PT sessions I am now able to resume my previous activities. I highly recommend Performance PT.

I am grateful for the excellent work provided by Performance Physical Therapy with a special shout out and thank you to Amelia Llanos and her team for the work and patience it took to get me back to the activities I love. It is an excellent facility and everyone on staff is friendly and are tuned to helping you achieve your best physical wellness.

The staff at Performance Physical Therapy are always welcoming and immensely helpful with any needs or questions I had. After working with both Angela and Alicia over my time spent visiting Performance, the care I got was amazing and both worked very hard to help me recover from injury. I am very thankful for all that Performance has done for me.

Was fortunate to have Angela for a physical therapist. Angela was very professional, thorough, friendly, and had different ways of dealing with my therapy. Everyday I saw her, she amazed me with her innovation and knowledge. I did see a few other physical therapists at Performance. These others, unfortunately, felt like a waste of time. Angela is the real deal.

Ben is very knowledgeable and very good at figuring out what is going on in order to solve your problem. I thought I had really messed up my rotator cuff repair but Ben was able to release the tight muscles and help me strengthen the weak ones ... which made everything work better. Couldn't be happier!

My physical therapist Angela was great working with me. She showed me care and concern for getting me up and moving. The whole staff was great with a positive, cheerful, attitude.

I've been a dedicated client of Performance Physical Therapy since 2021, and I can't say enough about my positive experiences with Brian and his exceptional staff. The level of professionalism they exhibit is truly commendable. From day one, the care and attention to detail have been outstanding, making my journey to recovery as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Performance Physical Therapy for anyone seeking top-notch care and a friendly, supportive atmosphere. The team's expertise and dedication have made a significant difference in my rehabilitation journey. Thank you, Brian and team, for your ongoing excellence!

PPT took good care of me and has helped me continue healing my shoulder. I appreciate their level of care and concern for their patients.

My C4-5 ACDF surgery was great for my neck, but caused atrophy everywhere else. Performance Physical Therapy led by Angela was great! After a couple of months I was strong enough to go back to my daily exercise routines. Thanks

James and Katrina are wonderful humans. I owe them so much for helping me come back better than I was before my ACL surgery.

Everyone at Performance Physical Therapy was professional and knowledgeable. They were able to figure out why I was in pain, and explain what was going on and how the recommended exercises and treatments would help. I am still using the tips I learned even though I have been pain free and running again for a couple of months! :)

James was awesome. He was great at listening and took feedback. He was very understanding when I was lazy and didn't do my homework. :) My shoulder is doing great now. The office staff is always friendly and the facility is clean, bright, and they have lots of different tools to help people improve and get better.

My first encounter with Performance PT took place when my doctor recommended them, to correct an imbalance in my gait after being prescribed an orthotic for my right shoe. I've since been to them on several occasions, because I wrecked bikes a time or two and (just recently) have aged into semi-reliable knees.
The key thing about Performance is their overall integrity and business ethic. I've always been helped by people that are kind, knowledgeable and focused on getting things right.
Everyone that I've recommended Performance to has thanked me and affirmed my praise and confidence in them

Staff are highly competent and the entire area open to the public is spotless. And everyone is nice. They have helped be through a couple of injuries getting me up and running again as soon as possible.

Performance Physical Therapy has regularly evaluated, treated and guided many walkers and runners who are customers at BBay Running along a path of healing and recovery. They have received the utmost profession attention to all forms are injury or discomfort. Through treatment and counselling, Mark has helped so many return to a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, PPT has shared their expertise with our run and walk community through excellent clinics held at their offices and BBay Running.

Highly recommend Performance Physical Therapy!
