Whether your goal is finishing your next race stronger, getting back on the course, lifting without hesitation, or simply keeping up with your kids without wincing, you deserve a plan that gets you there.

At Vine Performance Therapy & Wellness, that is where the real work begins. The **Performance Therapy model** goes beyond basic pain relief to optimize how your body moves, so you leave stronger and more capable than before your injury ever happened. Every visit, you work one-on-one with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy. No rotating providers, no re-explaining your history — just consistent, personalized care from someone who truly knows your body and your goals. Every plan begins with a meticulous **full-body evaluation** that treats your body as one connected unit, not an isolated injury site. This approach helps identify the real root cause, not just the symptom in front of us. ![bill helping patient with hip mobility](https://go.vineperformancetherapy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bill%20helping%20patient%20with%20hip%20mobility.jpg?width=810&height=810&name=bill%20helping%20patient%20with%20hip%20mobility.jpg) ## **Conditions We Treat: Your Path Back to Peak Performance** Pain shows up differently for everyone, but the approach at Vine Performance Therapy & Wellness stays rooted in the same goal-driven philosophy. ### **Lower Extremity Injuries That Slow Runners and Athletes Down** Our [**sports physical therapy**](https://vineperformancetherapy.com/performance-physical-therapy/)and **orthopedic physical therapy** regularly address: - Runner's knee and patellofemoral pain - IT band syndrome - Achilles tendinopathy - Plantar fasciitis - Hamstring strains - ACL injuries and post-surgical recovery - Hip impingement and labral tears - Ankle sprains and shin splints ### **Whole-Body Orthopedic Care** Beyond the lower body, care extends to **spine conditions** including low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and mid back pain.
