why choose THE PERFORMANCE LAB?

Physical therapy covers a broad range of injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. Although most outpatient PTs specialize in orthopedics, post-op recovery, and preventative care, The Performance Lab crew has gone above and beyond in their education, training, and manual skills. It is for this reason that we are able to provide the most thorough, up-to-date treatment strategies, giving you the best possible care.  In addition, unlike most other physical therapy clinics where you have to share your time with other clients, here at The Performance Lab, all of our clients receive a minimum of 30 minutes of hands-on, one-on-one care. By giving you the time and attention you deserve, we are able to get you better, FASTER! We also have two convenient Connecticut locations to choose from- one in Prospect and one in West Hartford.

"I was referred to the Performance Lab by two people for muscle tension, headaches, and arthritic pain. I have a membership for monthly massages and didn't think there would be much of a difference between the two but I was so wrong! Becky, Melissa, and Jordan have all treated me and I can’t say enough about how great they are! The treatment has done wonders for my headaches and I can’t imagine going anywhere else now!"

"Best place for physical therapy for back issues. My daughter missed a whole year of gymnastics due to back issues and we were recommended to the Performance Lab. She went twice a week for the whole year and was able to compete states, regionals and easterns without doing any meets for the entire year. Thank you Jordan for all that you did to help in getting her where she needed to be to compete."
