The PATH Rehab & Performance

I had spinal fusion surgery in June of 2022 and I worked with Brooks during the recovery process. I am so grateful to have access to this Physical Therapy group which recently opened an office out of the gym I was already attending, Alpha Barbell. Brooks was amazing in helping me regain my confidence in twisting and loading my spine after surgery. He was there during the positive times but for the negative times as well and helped tremendously with me regaining my mobility. He always encouraged to try what felt good for me and helped me stay on the path back into the gym. Through his programming I quickly felt comfortable lifting again and it is feels amazing to progress out of the PT stage and back into the programming of Alpha Barbell. During his care Brooks was very conservative in how often we met and tailored everything to my schedule and needs. I quickly progressed through the recovery stage and have since been “released” to my normal regimen, but Brooks made it clear there is no “release” just a, “let me know if you ever need anything more.” It is great to meet likeminded people and people that are interested in making a difference in the health of their clients. It is evident that those at The PATH have a perspective on rehab that more PT offices need to incorporate. If you’re looking for somewhere to help you get back to moving and performing there really is no better way than The PATH Rehab & Performance team guiding the way!

Thanks again Brooks for all your help!

The progress I’ve made with Brooks at the PATH has been amazing. I do CrossFit regularly, but also started distance running/marathon training in January of 2022, and close to my first half marathon race in May had an Achilles issue pop up. I took a 3+ month break in hopes it would heal from rest (it didn’t), and finally decided to start PT in August. As I had a trail Ragnar and a full marathon coming up only 4 weeks apart, we had to work quickly. Brooks was able to diagnose the issue and have me completely pain free in just a few short weeks. When I completed my first full marathon, a few separate issues popped up that I am working with him on and seeing great results. I’ve opted to continue working with him on an ongoing basis to ensure I can address any future issues with distance running and keep my body healthy. I cannot recommend the PATH enough.

I've had back pain for years, recently aggravated by getting into aerial arts. Paulina was able to identify my body type (hypermobile) and develop a PT plan specifically for me. When I went back to the pole class after a 4 month break I found that I had maintained a lot of my strength thanks to exercises specifically designed to improve my pole abilities and I did not experience my usual pain! I can't overstate how surprised and happy I was at this improvement. I thought that I would just always be I some kind of pain. Highly recommend Paulina for dancers and aerial artists.

Dr. Paulina is absolutely amazing!!! I injured my hamstring at pole/aerial class, and with a performance coming up I knew I needed to get it looked at immediately. She worked her magic on me and I am recovering SO well!!! Without her, I don’t think I would have been able to perform, let alone be pain free. She is so knowledgeable in her field and answered all of my questions (even answered questions I didn’t realize I needed to ask). She is so much fun to work with; I will honestly miss coming to sessions with her lol. She is super down to earth and hilarious to boot! She explained each workout/movement so it was easy to understand, and made me feel comfortable while I did them. She even made sure the homework she assigned to me was doable at my house so I had the option of going to the gym or staying home and completing them. She is so encouraging, you can really tell she loves what she does! 10/10 I recommend coming to The Path if you need anything worked on! I am hoping my days of being injured are done, but if I ever need PT again, I am 100% coming back here! Thanks Dr. Paulina!

I've had various issues over the years, but most recently a rib/shoulder blade issue that took me out of my regular lifting routine. I do CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting and it was Dr. Brooks who helped me get back to functional and stay in the gym with proper modifications. He was concise, friendly and so knowledgeable. I felt well taken care of and he was able to safely and realistically get me back into the sport I love! Thank you Dr. Brooks!!
