JESSE LEWIS, DPT, OCS, CSCS REVIEWS

District Performance and Physio has been wonderful. I came in with a pinched nerve that was causing pain in my leg, and Fatima did an excellent job helping me address it. The recovery has been much faster than expected, thanks to her. She’s been thorough, professional, and knowledgeable — and also just very enjoyable to work with.

Working with Emily has been amazing! She has helped me tremendously in addressing my wrist pain and also creating a physical therapy plan that worked for me and activities that I am doing. I appreciate her attention to details and personalized treatment plan and answering any questions that I had during our session.

Really, really works. Knee pain went away with a few sessions from very helpful PTs. They helped me focus on both functional and sports related goals. I would recommend District performance and physio to everyone.

Josh was patient, kind and understanding! He not only looks to your physiotherapy needs but also asks questions about your general health and well Being. Highly recommended and very gentle and professional.

Highly highly recommend this practice for physical therapy needs. The staff are very professional, know exactly what they are doing, and scheduling appointments is very easy. I've already referred two other people to them and will use them in the future for any future needs.

JOE NORTON, PT, CFMT, OCS REVIEWS

Joe Norton is fantastic, and has let me get back to my athletic life! I struggled with a complicated hip and foot issue, and after more than a year with others, I found Joe. He broke the problem down, worked with me to strengthen, release and reeducate my muscles. He uses a wide range of tools and techniques to address all aspects of the problem. I am now free of the constant pain and tightness, and getting back to the long, hard bike rides that I love so much. He is absolutely wonderful — not just super knowledgable about biomechanics, but also he wa spectacular in coaching me to be patient, remain hopeful, and work the program at the right pace to get to the results I was seeking. Do not hesitate to head to his practice for excellent, effective, tailored physical therapy.

I highly recommend Joe Norton and his associates for Physical Therapy. Joe has helped me rehab a nagging ankle injury, so much so that I was able to run a fall marathon. Joe is a skilled PT, with a wealth of knowledge and patience. He is very community oriented and is an athlete himself. For any injury, I recommend Joe Norton PT.

I cannot recommend Joe Norton PT enough. I worked with Luke after an elbow surgery and my recovery was very smooth. He is very detailed in his approach and knows how to be aggressive without overdoing it. He was thoughtful in putting together home exercise plans that were manageable and also incorporated variety.
