The physical therapists at Upright Athlete are frankly phenomenal. I came in with shoulder pain and nerve impingement that was still bothering me a few years out from my surgery and they helped me regain mobility, strength, and painless movement. I was worried that the problem might be too “vague” but they proved me wrong - the PT’s here really know their stuff. A few weeks in I started having knee pain diagnosed by a doc and the PT’s shifted my exercises around; within a few weeks I was pain free. I have been nothing but impressed with the professionalism, congeniality, and efficiency

I have enjoyed my sessions at Upright Athlete. As a group.of men with Parkinson’s we have all benefited from the varied exercises that Sam has us doing (including the boxing), She is aware of our needs and limitations and adjusts each session accordingly. Sam always has a friendly smile along with all the other PT instructors. Which is another reason I enjoy coming back.

Highly recommended. I did physical therapy with Upright for a few old injuries. Besides great therapy that left me feeling healthy, they were able to help me develop workouts geared towards continuing to improve those weak spots once I left. And the therapist are just good people in general that are enjoyable to be around.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Sam and her team who have helped me get back into competitive running shape. As a distance runner plagued with PFPS I have been to many physical therapists and running clinics in the past to limited success. I was shocked with the results and continued support from Sam. She is truly a miracle worker. If you have running pains and want to finally get back on the road, trail, etc. or want to get faster/stronger I cannot recommend Sam enough! I am now running with no knee pain!! Do yourself a favor and schedule some time at Upright Athlete...you won't regret

Awesome community and stoke at this gym. Women's wednesday workout class with Joy is my all time favorite; she is motivating, fun, and pushes you in her challenging circuit workouts while still creating an environment that is flexible and fulfilling for all levels. She makes new workouts and lifts/movements accessible by breaking them down, and teaching them over a series of weeks. I always leave her class (and one on one workouts) feeling stronger and more confident! Highly recommend this place.

I have been seeing Norah for a little over a year, and my injuries and mobility restrictions have ranged from my shoulder, to my hip and my ankle. Being an athlete herself, Norah understands the importance of functional movement for my sport, and has given me a ton of mobility exercises that have really helped improve my range of motion. The entire staff at UA is really helpful and I have never had a problem scheduling an appointment for when is most convenient for me. I'm super appreciative that they have both early morning and after work appointments!
