Manual therapy is a clinical, evidence-based approach that uses skilled touch to improve how your body moves and responds. Through joint mobilization, soft tissue work, dry needling, and manipulation, we reduce restriction, restore function, and regulate neuromuscular tension at its source.

At The Performance Shift, this isn’t just about rehab.
It’s prehab.

We focus on identifying limitations early, addressing imbalances before they become injuries, and creating a more resilient system over time. Whether you’re in pain or simply looking to stay ahead of it, the goal remains the same: move better, recover faster, and extend your capacity to perform.

Did you hear that pop?!

The foot is the foundation.

26 bones. 33 joints. Every jump, every landing, every stride begins here.

When dorsiflexion is restricted, the stress doesn't stay local. It travels — into the knee, up the chain.

Dr. Hunter Townsend adjusts the heel to restore mobility at the source. Less internal roll on the launch. Cleaner mechanics on the return. Knees that move the way they're designed to.

This is recovery as performance. Precise. Personalized. Built to endure.

Not all shockwave is created equal.

SoftWave uses broadly focused shockwave technology to create a wider physiological impact with every treatment, reaching deeper into tissue while reducing unnecessary discomfort.

The difference isn’t just power.

It's effectiveness.

Think about SoftWave TRT like painting instead of pointing.

When tissue is inflamed, compensating, or no longer functioning efficiently, the goal isn’t to chase symptoms. It’s to identify the source, stimulate regeneration, and restore function at the systems level.

At The Performance Shift, recovery is not passive care. It’s strategic adaptation designed to help the body heal, move, and endure longer.

Regenerate. Recover. Evolve.

Raise your hand if you've worked with this technology! 🙋

Sports physical therapy isn’t just about recovery.
It’s about restoring capacity under real-world demand.

At The Performance Shift, we don’t separate rehab from performance.
We treat them as one continuum.

General physical therapy is designed to get you back to baseline.
Sports physical therapy is designed to meet the demands of your sport—load, speed, complexity, and repetition included.

This is where care becomes more precise.
And where return becomes measurable.

Our sports physical therapists are board-certified specialists with advanced training in sports medicine.
Every progression is guided by objective testing—not assumption.

Because being pain-free is not the finish line.
It’s the starting point for what comes next.

DM us “PERFORMANCE” to learn how we assess readiness beyond symptoms.

"If you're not measuring, you're guessing."

At The Performance Shift, return to sport testing isn't a formality. It's a protocol. No matter the injury (upper extremity, lower extremity), every athlete goes through a structured battery of tests before they're cleared to push.

Here's what that looks like in practice.

We use both body weight and technology to collect data. This includes force plate technology from a company called VALD to collect objective data at key milestones throughout recovery. Not just at the finish line — but along the way.

The question isn't "does it feel okay?" The question is: how does the surgical side compare to the healthy side? Is the strength differential within an acceptable range to begin jump training, return to jogging, or get back to competition?

Data doesn't lie.

This is what it means to recover inside a sports therapy collective built on precision — where no athlete is cleared based on a gut feeling, and every return to sport is earned, measured, and intentional.

Book with us today!

Most spaces treat performance as a destination. We built one that treats it as a continuum.

Here's the story 👀👇

Halfway through residency, Alice made a decision: stop waiting for the right environment and build it instead.

One with providers and coaches practicing at the top of their scope. One where care is purposeful, science-backed, and complete.

Here it from Alice herself: "I wanted to create a space with providers and coaches that practice at the top of their scope to help clients thrive for life, both in and outside of the gym."

Excellence here isn't just clinical precision. It's the feeling you get when you walk through the door. You should feel seen, supported, and surrounded by people invested in the whole of you.

And when the work is done right, something shifts. Not just in how you move, but in how you live.

As Alice says, "an incredible win looks like a transition from 'fix it' to 'live your life without limits' mode."

This is what Performance, Redefined looks like.

Meet Emily Goudeau ⚡️

Strength coach at The Performance Shift, working with athletes from youth to pro, with a deep focus on hockey and soccer. Her approach goes beyond sets and reps. It’s about understanding the individual behind the athlete—how they move, how they think, and how they carry themselves through every phase of performance.

Emily’s path into strength and conditioning was shaped by her own experience as an athlete. What started in the weight room became something more: a space to build resilience, confidence, and long-term durability. That perspective now informs how she coaches—grounded, intentional, and always centered on the person first.

Because real performance isn’t just built for sport.
It’s built for life.
