CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • With 3 ACL tears, I’ve worked with a few PTs. I can say with confidence that Josh is by far the best out there. He tailors his program to align with the priorities of his clients, offers realistic expectations, and gives honest, effective, feedback. He’s gotten me back where I need to be, just in time to be chasing pow all ski season!

    Matt F.

  • I started seeing Josh for physical therapy due to debilitating back pain. I have always been active - lifting, running, etc. However, Josh completely transformed my mobility and strength. My back has never felt so stable. I cannot speak highly enough of his approach towards physical therapy and strength training.

    Rachel R.

  • Josh was truly world-class. After a significant shoulder surgery, my goal was to return to heavy lifting as quickly and safely as possible. Josh took a calculated yet appropriately aggressive approach that got me back to what I love.

    Max R.

  • Josh and I have been working together for over 4 years - including rehab from shoulder replacement surgery. I am proud to say I am stronger than I was before surgery & have Josh to thank. Both his PT and Personal Training are THE BEST - and he makes working out fun too! I wouldn't be where I am today with out Josh - thank you so much!

    Courtney R.

  • I’ve seen multiple sports physical therapists for my chronic shoulder issue and I haven’t been able to lift and train Jiu Jitsu like I was used to. Josh at Tundra Performance and PT accurately diagnosed and showed me what my problem was on the first visit!

    Peter Y.

  • Working with Josh genuinely gave me my life back after years of dealing with debilitating chronic pain. In my opinion the combination of his background on physical therapy as well as overall body health is what has allowed me to get better and stronger.

    Stacey M.

  • I have played sports all my life, including through and post college. My lifestyle was interrupted when I tore my patellar tendon in a lacrosse tournament. Josh coached me through the processes of regaining mobility, strength, and confidence in my knee after surgery. I am truly grateful every day he was my PT. He helped me get back to playing lacrosse, lifting, hiking, biking, and dancing salsa. Josh is a fantastic PT and a better person.

    Hunter J.

  • I worked with Josh following lower back surgery. His expert knowledge, focused attention on me throughout my appointments, and encouragement resulted in a very successful outcome. Now as my personal trainer, he continues to help me reach my health goal of building whole body strength.

    Joyce R.

  • Josh changed my life!
    I started working with Josh when I suffered an injury that left me with limited to no mobility. I questioned whether I’d be able to exercise or play sports again. After working with Josh, I was not only able to rehabilitate my injury but to then also build muscle and greatly increase my strength.
