WHO WE ARE

Perform Strong PT is a sports-focused physical therapy clinic in Abbottstown, PA built specifically for athletes and active individuals who expect more from their rehab. Our clinicians hold both Sports Clinical Specialist (SCS) and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certifications alongside their doctorates in physical therapy. That combination of clinical depth and performance training experience is rare, and it directly shapes how every patient is evaluated, progressed, and cleared to return to sport.

“Perform Strong Physical Therapy LLC provides top notch care having gotten me back from injury stronger and in the best shape of my life.

“Working with Alex has been a truly transformative experience. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my discomforts and created a plan that gave me confidence in my recovery. He clearly explained every exercise and always listened to my body throughout the rehab process, especially on days when my body felt overwhelmed. His constant motivation pushed me to keep going, helping me not only regain my strength but perform at 110% every day. He is truly the best at what he does, and I couldn’t recommend him more. I’m incredibly grateful for everything he’s done and would trust him again without hesitation.”

“I initially visited Alex to treat a hamstring that had been bothering me for a long amount of time. After a couple weeks I felt significantly better and returned to the field very quick. I now reach out to Alex when I feel anything significant with my body and it’s huge to have access to a resource like him.”
