What Our Customers Say

Testimonial image

Tony Dantona

I've been to several physical therapists and have not had great experiences. When I came to see Zach for my high hamstring tendinosis it was a different experience. In addition to an extremely friendly environment, Zach is very knowledgeable and was able to help with my condition. I highly recommend champions performance.

Trisha Voegtlin

We are having a wonderful experience with Dr. Zach after my daughter injured her ankle playing soccer. From the very first appointment, he made her feel comfortable and confident about her recovery. Dr. Zach is extremely knowledgeable, patient, fun, and encouraging. He explains each step of the rehab process in a way my daughter and I can understand. Thanks to Dr. Zach’s support, my daughter will be back on the field stronger than ever. I highly recommend Dr. Zach and Champions Performance Physical Therapy to any athlete needing sports rehab or injury prevention.

Alix Dabb

Highly recommend Champions Performance Physical Therapy. My daughter had an ankle injury sustained playing soccer and was in a boot for several weeks. Dr. Zach was great! He was thorough in his evaluation and provided my daughter with an exercise plan designed to get her back to sports stronger than before. Very pleased!!

Jacob Goff

I was dealing with low back pain that was interfering with my golf game. Zach did an awesome job identifying the issue and creating a plan that worked. I’m now back to playing pain-free and feeling stronger than before. Highly recommend!

Ashley Cooper

I hurt my shoulder playing squash. Dr. Zach was quick to diagnose and treat my problem. My shoulder feels much better after a few sessions. The dry needling and targeted exercises worked really well. I highly recommend CPPT!

Sarah Fox

I hurt my elbow and I wasn’t able to do daily activities like brushing my hair or making coffee. I saw Zach to help with this and noticed improvement after dry needling and shockwave. Zach took time to explain what I need to do for my recovery. I leave every session feeling better and I highly recommend Champions Performance Physical Therapy!

Steven Hyatt

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough great things about Champions Performance Physical Therapy and its owner, Zach Mitchell. I came in dealing with plantar fasciitis that developed while training for a marathon, and Zach was extremely accommodating - called at 3pm and he told me to come in an hour later! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and takes the time to really understand what’s going on—not just treating symptoms, but addressing the root cause. On top of that, Zach is super friendly and genuinely encouraging, which makes a huge difference when you’re pushing your body through tough training or just trying to get back to your normal. Thanks to his guidance and treatment, I was able to keep training (until I tweaked my knee a couple months later - working on that now with the same level of care and support)! If you’re an athlete or just dealing with pain that won’t go away, I highly recommend Zach and Champions Performance Physical Therapy. You won’t find better care.

Jennifer Schwartz

My soccer player daughter had a broken big toe followed by a torn ligament in the same area. Zach is very knowledgeable about an athlete’s needs. He has been wonderful in bringing her back to playing condition and pain free. He’s very attentive and enthusiastic using a breadth of therapies such as shockwave and PEMF. Highly recommend Chanpions!

Anthony Ngaata

I workout a lot and developed tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and biceps tendinopathy. Shockwave therapy, dry needing, PEMF, and targeted exercises quickly got be back to working out pain-free! Highly recommend

Kimberly Lockhart

My orthopedic doctor initially diagnosed me with tendonitis and referred me to physical therapy. When I started PT with Zach, he did a thorough assessment and determined that I am actually dealing with a frozen shoulder. Since beginning treatment, he has been using a PEMF machine along with targeted stretches and exercises to help reduce my pain and improve my range of motion. I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made so far and appreciate the thoughtful approach he’s taken with my treatment.

Shannon Cymber

I have a history of low back pain probably due to years of cheerleading. Zach has been very helpful addressing the causes of my back pain and solutions to fix it.

Isaiah Kasey

I developed plantar fasciitis and shockwave therapy and the exercise fixed my pain completely!

Kevin Klinedinst

Dr Zach helped my son work through muscle and nerve pain in his quad. I recommend him to anyone needing PT.

Danielle Massimini

I developed tendinitis in my shoulder. Champions Performance PT got me back to using my shoulder without problems quickly. Highly recommend!

Mark Bleiss

Zach helped me a lot with Hamstring mobility in an incredibly short time. He clearly knows what he's talking about and his methods are effective. Left with a solid mobility routine and reassurance on workout posture, spine health, and more. Highly recommend

Raffaella Molteni

I can’t say enough good things about Champions Performance Physical Therapy. I’ve been dealing with frozen shoulder in both shoulders and have seen many physical therapists over the course of my recovery, but my experience here has been on a completely different level. From the start, Zach took a thoughtful and personalized approach to my treatment. What really sets Champions apart is their use of state-of-the-art recovery tools, including PEMF therapy, combined with targeted exercises designed specifically for my condition. The combination has made a noticeable in my mobility and overall progress. As someone who is eager to return to playing tennis, their guidance and support have been incredibly encouraging. I highly recommend Champions!
