  • Your Performance Suffers

     Lingering ankle instability affects your footwork, agility, and confidence in every movement—keeping you from playing at your best.

    Pain That Won't Go Away

  • Compensation Creates New Problems

     When you favor your ankle, your knee, hip, and back pay the price. One injury becomes multiple issues that keep you sidelined longer.

    Fear of Re-Injury

  • Traditional PT Falls Short

    Rushed 20-minute sessions with different therapists each visit won't address what's really causing your ankle pain or prepare you for real performance.

    Cookie-Cutter PT Isn't Working

Finding elevated has been a game changer. Jonathan is a dry needling wizard!

  • I was in pain 10/10 today and with one session dry needling, heat, & Stretching, I walked out from 10 painful to 3 pain level just being sore only. I feel so great and happy hopeful to recover from my sciatica and hamstring tendinitis that I was diagnosed recently. I highly recommend him to anyone with any type of injuries.

  • Dr. Kim and Dr. Hess have been truly remarkable. From the first exploratory phone call through each rehab session, they went out of their way to be flexible with scheduling, develop a comprehensive plan tailored to my goals, and provide customized, effective 'homework.' I could not be more impressed with the progress I made.
