“This is my first time working with a physical therapist and I really wasn't sure what to expect. I was in pretty severe pain and had been to several doctors before trying pelvic floor PT; I actually didn't have much confidence that it would resolve my issues. Silly me! After three weeks working with Fatima, my pain had decreased so significantly that I could actually concentrate on daily activities and not just how uncomfortable I was. On top of being a skilled therapist, Fatima is also a delightful human being and she makes the PT sessions fly by!”

“Ariella and the District Performance staff were all so welcoming and kind! I went to Ariella for Pelvic Floor PT and she was patient, answered my million questions, and really made me feel seen and understood.”

You’ll know exactly what to do — and what to avoid — every step of the way.

“I began working with District Performance & Physio when I was expecting my first baby. I had a lot of pelvic and knee pain towards the end of pregnancy,.... It's been amazing to see the measurable progress in my workouts and daily life already in less than 6 months since having my baby, and it wouldn't have been possible without the tools that she continues to help me develop.”

“I went to District Performance and Physio to rebuild my core after my baby was born. Ariella helped make me strong again, always offering different options based on my preferences, comfort, and realistic expectations for exercising at home. I went back to my workouts feeling confident I could finish without straining myself.”

District Performance & Physio is an out-of-network provider, but many of our clients receive partial reimbursement from their insurance. We provide all the documentation you need to submit a claim, and we’re happy to walk you through the process so you can make the most of your benefits.

“At this practice, I received personalized attention that I haven't seen elsewhere, and this attentiveness was beneficial to my recovery. Especially with a high-deductible health plan, I found what I was paying out of pocket here comparable to (possibly less expensive than) what I was paying for places that "take insurance." If you're on the fence, I encourage you to give District Performance a try!”

“I saw a physical therapist who was in network with my health insurance. While there was no cost to me I felt like that therapist was simply running me through exercises typically was for people with hip problems… While Jesse was out of my insurance network I decided I would give him a try. On my very first visit the difference was palpable…. The result is that my hip is just as strong and flexible and the hip that didn’t require surgery.”
