Reviews of Performance Therapy Institute (Physiotherapist)

W. Rusty Faulks

Josh and the team at PTI delivered and helped me regain my mobility and avoid surgery for a partial RC tear. The latest technology; friendly staff; informal, comfortable, & warm atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Briana Hill

Would recommend this place to anybody. Josh and his team were amazing. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. They are very detailed about their instructions and guide you in the right direction to improve your injury outside of the institute as well as inside the institute. I am very satisfied with their help and will definitely come back if i need too!!

While I would certainly have preferred to have not found myself in need of physical therapy in the first place, I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience at Performance Therapy institute. I was battling a herniated disc and pretty nasty compressed nerve root – that was really causing me a lot of pain and impacting my day-to day activities. I had a couple of meetings with an orthopedic surgeon who (thankfully) suggested I meet with Josh at PTI – in an effort to avoid further diagnostic visits and, most importantly, to avoid spine surgery. Literally within a few minutes after meeting with Josh he had diagnosed (what was later confirmed by an MRI) exactly what was causing me so much pain, had a treatment plan put together to first remedy the pain, secondly to restore neck and arm motion and lastly to leave me with some tools and techniques to keep up the therapy at home. It took some work and some patience - but I really can’t describe how well things turned out. I should also comment that PTI’s facility is modern, clean, and comfortable and their equipment is top-notch. Josh and the rest of the staff are professional and courteous and very personable. I definitely felt like I was getting personalized care. I've had no experience with other therapy companies to compare to PTI; however, I did have a number of conversations with other PTI patients that had. The common theme was, “I really wish I had started out at Performance Therapy – what I was doing before was a waste of time.” Thanks so much to Josh and the team at PTI !!

Josh at Performance Therapy Institute was fantastic! Not only is he professional and knowledgeable, he is just one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He immediately determined why I was having achilles inflammation, got me on an exercise plan to strengthen my body so I don't have recurrent problems, and most of all, used laser therapy to completely relieve the current inflammation and pain I was experiencing. I went in two weeks before a state tennis tournament in so much pain that I thought I would not be able to play. The laser therapy was amazing. I was pain free and able to play in the tournament! He bent over backwards to provide me excellent care in a very tight timeframe. I highly recommend Performance Therapy Institute!

Richie Reid

I have had numerous injuries over the last 10 years and Josh has always been there to help in the healing process. His experience, knowledge and professionalism make it easier to go through the treatment/therapy process. I really appreciate him and his team and although I hope to not need him again ......... ..when I do its nice to know he is there.

Dan Wilt

Josh and the team at Performance Therapy Institute are simply amazing. I came in with a rotator cuff injury in my right shoulder, and major reconstructive surgery on my right foot. Within a few short months my shoulder is almost back to normal and my foot is doing great. Their staff is friendly, courteous, and incredibly helpful. Getting laser therapy done on some of the muscle tears was a great bonus. If you have a need for physiotherapy, I can’t recommend them highly enough. They should be your starting place for any physical therapy need you might have.

Billy Brown

Dr. Colbert's 3D Motion technology is revolutionary. He was able to diagnose the months of knee and hip pain I experienced for years and provide a therapy that has eliminate a majority of the pain so I can enjoy my activities. Thank you Dr. Colbert!

Gary Murray

My experience with Performance Therapy Institute was a very encouraging one. My therapist was very patient, gentle and kind. The sessions for me were helpful and the results have been good. I would gladly recommend this institute to anyone needing physical therapy. Beverly Murray

Vernon Tremaine

I was recently looking for a physical therapist in Brentwood to work with me after a knee injury playing football. I visited a couple but the vibe wasn't quite right. I met Dr. Josh at an event and realized he was just a couple of miles down the road at Cool Springs. After 3 months of working with him and his staff I can say that I definitely made the right choice for my physical therapy. Thanks PTI!

Lucy Baltimore

Josh is a great PT....knows what he’s doing, does it well and with a super encouraging attitude. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome!

Alissa Trentman

Josh Colbert and the team at Performance Therapy Institute are AMAZING!!!! Best healing experience ever!!!!

Jusin White

Absolutely amazing! Josh and his staff are the best! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Works hard to make sure that you are getting better as fast as you possibly can. Hours are great, open early in morning so you can get therapy done and not have to take off work to do it. My wife, both parents, and my nephew have received therapy from Josh and his staff. All of us were super pleased with the service that we received. Go try them out, you won't be disappointed!

Josh Gebhardt

What can I say? Josh Colbert and staff are wonderful. I went to Performance Therapy Institute for pre-op therapy on my right wrist, and continued with post op therapy. As a practicing chiropractor in Franklin, the treatment I received was absolutely vital in allowing me to continue my career. I refer patients to Josh on a regular basis knowing they will receive the best care possible. There isn't a comparable place in Franklin for physical therapy. Thank you Josh, and staff!

Beth Hallmark

With both my back and my shoulder my number one goal was to avoid any invasive procedures (like injections or surgery). I saw josh last year for my back and hip paIn and with strengthening and laser treatments my back pain is gone. I am back with shoulder issues and even though my primary care doc wanted me to see a surgeon I asked to try PT first. Josh and his team have helped me strengthen my shoulder and the pain is almost gone. I have a few more weeks of therapy and I am confident I’ll be “good as new” ! Thanks Josh!

Denise Smith

I had surgery for a torn miniscus in my knee and my doctor recommended several weeks of physical therapy. I was referred by a friend to Josh and his team at Performance Therapy Institute. I have seen both Josh and Tracy for my therapy and have been extremely pleased with both of them! They are very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They are highly committed to safe and effective therapy for all their clients. I was always greeted with a smile and they were always prompt and attentive once I arrived. While there, they make certain you are doing what you need to do to get better and they make sure you are doing it correctly and with proper form. Your sessions are tailored for your individual needs. They take their time and never rush you while you are there. I am very impressed and happy with the entire staff at Performance and would recommend them to anyone! I will miss seeing them once my therapy sessions are complete!

dawn Kornovich

WOW! I’m so happy I found Josh! I’m finally getting some relief for a car crash back in May! A google search on soft tissue damage and Myofascial lead me to Performance.

Virginia Moreland

These folks are the BEST! Had to go to them twice in the last year, once for plantar fasciitis and once for severe back muscle spasms that had been unrelenting for a month. They got me straightened out so fast and back to full mobility with no more pain. Friendly staff who obviously care about you as an individual. Professional and thorough. Plus the facility itself is bright, welcoming and clean. Can't say enough nice things about them. I highly recommend PTI to anyone who needs physical therapy.

Kevin Brown

Dr Colbert took care of me and got me back on my feet in no time. I highly recommend them.

Michael Lee

Josh and Tracy are great Physical Therapist. I love how they focus on just you and not have an office full to where you're just another patient. I will recommend Performance Therapy Institute to everyone.

Teresa Robotham

Your can really trust this PT. Knowledgeable, gentle, effective and in tune with exactly what you need. Hands down. I will never go to a different physical therapist again. Thanks performance therapy so glad I found you!

Michelle Stoneham

I saw Josh at Performance Therapy Institute in November & December of 2014 for a herniated disk. I was referred by a friend who had a pleasant experience with him. Josh was extremely professional, thorough, and friendly. I never waited longer than ten minutes to be seen and was always greeted upon entering the building. Josh tailored my therapy to my needs and my resources. I am happy to say that I have been pain free since last seeing Josh in December. I highly recommend him and his practice to anyone who is looking for a therapist or who has had an unpleasant experience in the past.

Jessica Chan

Performance Therapy Institute in Franklin, TN (Cool Springs) is the best physical therapy place in town! Josh really knows his stuff!! I’ve suffered from lower back pain from a bulging disc for a long time and I finally have relief!! It’s cool too bc going there twice a week has got me in the habit of working out so even when I’m finished with my therapy, I’m going to go to a gym and continue doing my routine. 10 stars in my opinion!

Seth Davis

Josh and his team of therapists have done an exceptional job diagnosing and treating my knee injury. They have provided just the right level of guidance and treatment to give me what I need to get back up and running. Many thanks to Performance Therapy Institute for your excellent service!

Kim Blakley

Performance Therapy was awesome! All of the staff was super sweet and helpful! I had a shoulder injury and Josh took great care of me. I was totally impressed with all the pieces of equipment and gadgets that I could use to perform different exercises. Each one of them helped my injury and I improved very quickly.

Jenny White

At 38, I was facing hip surgery and couldn't wrap my mind around it. Thanks to Josh and his team, I was able to rehab my hip instead of surgery. Performance Therapy Institute provides individualized care and therapy. They have brought the family feel to an industry that has mostly become systematic and financially driven. I'm so thankful for the recommendation from a friend and have referred countless friends and family to Josh since then. I highly recommend PTI to anyone wanting to experience that personal relationship with their trainer.

Sine Thieme

I highly recommend Performance Therapy Institute to anyone needing physical therapy and interested in lasting outcomes. I have to admit I was somewhat skeptical. I'd battled with a painful Achilles' tendon for years, exacerbated by a very busy tennis season. It would hurt every time I got done playing, and even stretching regularly and wearing a boot at night did not alleviate it. The doctor I saw for it actually recommended surgery if therapy didn't help. Well, after just 4 weeks of therapy with Josh, it is almost as good as new. I haven't felt this great in years. He did several strengthening exercise with me and they have made all the difference. I just came back from an entire weekend of long tennis matches, and have no problems whatsoever with my ankle. I've been able to stop wearing the boot at night, and my feet aren't nearly as stiff in the morning as they used to be. This is much better than I've ever hoped it could get. I should also say that going to therapy wasn't a drag. It's a fun environment, there were always good conversations going on, and I ended up looking forward to my twice-weekly sessions. Go to Performance Therapy Institute if you have any joint that hurts, and don't jump to surgery too quickly - you'll be amazed what these strengthening exercises can do for you!

Pam Brown, ACC, CFRE

I've only had two visits (so far) and my TMJ and neck pain are already improving. Of course, I've been faithfully doing the exercises as prescribed. I can't say enough positive things about Performance Therapy Institute. These folks know what they're doing!

David Babula

I had a great experience working with Josh. I am in my mid-30s and was struggling with lower back and hip issues which were making it difficult to run and play soccer without risking further injury. Working with Josh, I started feeling better in a few visits and I made big improvements over a few months. Josh did a great job of identifying my underlying issues and designing a therapy program to address them. The center doesn't over-schedule so I had a lot of individual attention and observation from Josh. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Performance Therapy.

Joe Johnson

Josh and his staff have been awesome, they are big enough to handle all of your needs yet small enough to make you feel special. They have done a fantastic job assisting me with my recovery from rotator cuff surgery. I would definitely recommend them.

Alexis Franklin

Rating via daughter's account but had to comment on the excellent experience with Performance Therapy Institute. I worked primarily with Josh for therapy on my shoulder. The hours were convenient, and the treatment was always individualized, focused, and effective. The facilities are excellent and I now have mobility in my shoulder again without surgery or drugs. Josh and his team are all courteous, kind and professional, and the laser therapy is the best! I heartily recommend Josh and his team! Cindy Franklin

Lauren Cox

I am so thankful to have been able to visit Performance Therapy! I could not walk with out a limp when I arrived. After 3 physical therapy and laser sessions, I feel brand new! Thank you Dr. Josh for personalizing my visits and getting right to the source of the problem. I would recommend this therapy institute to anyone who ask!

Cw Young

This is a great addition to Franklin. I was having a tough time with a shoulder and my golf scores were horrible. Josh and his team were incredible. Very very knowledgeable staff. Highly innovative in their use of technology. very hands on. Very professional. I enjoyed the environment and the people...not to mention, my golf scores are going back down. Thanks Josh! - Cw.

I really my experience with the staff they are very professional

Jackson Lowery

I've been to literally every physical therapy chain in Nashville as well as a few private practices. Over four years no one could help in relieving my chronic back issues and right leg pain. Kevin was able to immediately diagnose the cause and developed a simple and effective plan. The sessions were challenging, but Kevin (and the music) made the time fly by. A bonus at PTI is your therapist has at most one other client at the same time so you get a lot of individual attention. Other practices I've been to will pass you on to a PTA after a short period of treatment. Nothing against that model, but I want to know my PT is with me the whole time. In addition, the home exercises I was given were easy to follow and set up for progression. I appreciate what PTI has done for my pain and would recommend to anyone else.

Jay Lowder

Prior to my surgery, I was hearing horror stories about rotator cuff recovery, the least of which was how awful physical therapy was. I know everyone's experience will be different, but I was fortunate to not only have a great surgeon, but a fantastic physical therapy team as well. The staff at Performance Therapy Institute were professional, courteous, and attentive to my full recovery. In fact, they made coming to PT an enjoyable event and could handle my off-beat sense of humor. That alone should earn them an award! Tracy, who spent the most time with me, was attentive to my pain threshold while at the same time pushing me to the next level. He not only cared about my shoulder recovery, but about me as a person, too. I came to PTI (2) times a week for 5 months, and in that time I observed them performing laser treatments, preventive screenings, as well as seeing a wide range of patients: high school athletes, a special needs child, a grandmother recovering from knee replacement. In every scenario, they exhibited zeal, professionalism and courtesy to their patient. If you're looking for compassionate and knowledgeable care where you're treated like family and not like a number, then look no further. Performance Therapy Institute is the best around and will have you on the road to recovery in no time.

April Beck

After going to two other coportate owned therapy centers and getting no relief, I was referred to Josh Colbert by a family friend. Performance Therapy Institute is a hidden gem for sure! I had relief after my first visit and could not believe how much stronger I had gotten within just a few visits. The one thing that you cannot put a price on when going to any medical professional is them listening to you. Josh listened to my concerns when we first met, addressed them immediately and continued communicating with me on my progress each time I came in for my visit. He gives you a plan that is tailored to your body, not a "cookie cutter" plan that is given at most other facilities. I highly recommend Performance Therapy Institute!

Christina Cranford

I am absolutely thrilled with my results from going to Performance! I had gone to another physical therapist that was not able to help me just because they didn’t have the equipment to help me, not that they were not a great physical therapist facility. Josh was great and so was Kelsey and all the other therapists! Ultimately, having the K-laser and the Revitalizer machine and different exercises and manipulation techniques helped me recover from painful muscle spasms causing severe headaches! I’m pleased to say I am medication-free and enjoying being back to normal after over 4 months of pain! As with any PT place, you have to continue your exercises at home to maintain strength and progress. I highly recommend Performance to anyone having severe issues and have tried other places but haven’t had any improvement! Don’t give up because it doesn’t work at one place, you may need different techniques and equipment like I did!

Jim Russo

I recently moved to Franklin from Memphis. I have been receiving dry needling therapy treatments for almost a year on different parts of my body. Kelci Peck is the third DPT I have been treated by and she was wonderful. In fact from the moment I called in to Performance and spoke with Lauren, the entire experience has been wonderful. Kelci had my lower back feeling like new and I walked out feeling spry and ready to go. Friendly, convenient, professional. Overall a fantastic experience and one I will recommend to anyone. Thank you Lauren, Kelci and Performance Therapy!

Vera Baquet

Dr. Josh Colbert and Performance Therapy Institute gave me my life back. I had a debilitating limp a year after arthroscopic knee surgery and tried to rehabilitate it on my own. I also consulted to two other health practitioners and got no diagnosis and no relief. Josh figured out what caused the problem within five minutes and came up with a plan to help me walk normally again. Six weeks later, I am walking very well and have an set of exercises to help me resume my normal life. I live in St Croix and thought I would never hike through our beautiful mountains again. When I go home in a few days, I promised Josh I would send videos of me hiking over my beloved cliffs of Maroon Ridge and Hamm’s Bluff. Thank you Performance Therapy Institute. Vera Baquet

Matthew Lukach

Acute back pain is what landed me at Performance Therapy Institute. Working one on one with Josh was a great experience. He communicated to me exactly what his diagnosis was, what likely caused it, and the best way to fix it. He and I created a personalized game plan to rehab my back. I learned a lot from his expertise and decades of experience. As an athlete I genuinely appreciated Josh taking the time to not simply dole out exercises, but to explain why I'm doing them and how they're going to help. I've since taken these exercises and applied them into my general training to maintain back health and flexibility. Bottom line is this: Performance is a classy group of people, with fantastic facilities, and cutting edge technology (ask about laser therapy). Most importantly, you do not feel like "just another patient" which we all know is rare these days. You should look no further for physical therapy. This is the spot.

Adam B

I found Performance Therapy Institute extremely helpful and worth every bit of my time. I went in for a consultation with Josh and described where I felt pain and discomfort in my knee. I am an avid runner and was very concerned the pain would hinder staying active and keeping a healthy lifestyle. After our discussion and our session, Josh recommended specific stretches, focus movements, and better mechanics as a ran and worked out. After a few weeks of following Josh's recommendations and stretches, the pain subsided and I am now running pain free. Thanks again to PTI for the professional and friendly help. I know going forward if I have any health/injury concerns they will be the first ones I go to!

William Korol

I was in Nashville for six weeks to celebrate the birth of our first grandchild. In February I had rotator cuff surgery and had been doing physical therapy in my hometown. My local therapist recommended Performance Therapy Institute for my continued treatment while in Nashville. Tracy Allen was my principle therapist for my 3 times a week appointments. During my six weeks of treatment I made remarkable progress with increased flexibility, increased range of motion, and reduced pain. I was amazed at the amount of personal attention I got a each session, never feeling rushed or neglected. Tracy also followed up with my hometown doctor and worked with him to improve my therapy procedures. Being of a certain age and having been active my whole life I have had more than my share of physical therapy and the care I got a Performance Therapy Institute was by far the best I have ever received. Not only Tracy, but also the other therapist and the office staff, were outstanding. Whether for rehabilitation or for performance enhancement this is the place you want to go to. I would give this place ten stars if the software would let me.

Rob Della Morte

Josh and staff at PTI have worked miracles on me. I suffered a terrible case of medial epicondylitis followed by a bulging disc in my C5 vertebrae that caused a pinched nerve that rendered my left arm relatively useless. With the help of Josh at PTI I am back on the golf course after a 6 month forced hiatus and I have never felt better. Thank you so much for what you have done for me!!

Sean Smith

I have had the misfortune of having been injured twice in the last year. The injuries were serious enough that I was off work for several months. I needed to return to the workplace as quickly as possible and perform at a normal level. My confidence in that happening was very low. I was fortunate that my orthopedist recommended Performance Therapy Institute for my therapy. The staff quickly became like family and showed understanding combined with respect. They acted as complete professionals and delivered the highest level of patient care. I made a recovery much quicker due to the training and recommendations given by these good people. I have made many recommendations over the years but this company by far receives the highest.

Jamie Ladd

I just have to highly recommend Performance Therapy Institute. I first went to Josh Colbert a few months ago, recommendation from a friend, because I thought I just had a pinched nerve in my shoulder. It had gotten so bad that I hurt to drive or work at a computer. I just didn't realizing a physical therapist would be the person to help me with my issues. Just in a few months time, he has fixed my pinch nerve and figured out that I had rotator cuff issues as well (I had no idea!). He helped make both issues 1,000 times better. I can now drive and work without pain and I am currently working at home with the exercises he gave me to building the strength back in that arm. If you are having back, neck, shoulder, etc issues...Don't wait...Call Performance Therapy TODAY! You will be so glad you did. Josh is wonderful and works hard for you. He will give you his undivided attention and make sure he does everything possible to make you get better. They also work with injury prevention in athletes. It's a great place that offers so much more than just therapy after surgery (which they do as well) and It's very convenient. I highly recommend Performance Therapy!

SHARON OSBORN

On October 17th I woke up with horrible dizziness I had bppv vertigo it was very scary I'm a perfectly healthy young lady who had been swimming and dancing and life was fine and then this happened to say I was scared was an understatement... but Josh at performance therapy was wonderful he was so encouraging and knew exactly how to help me after 4 weeks of physical therapy I'm so much better The whole team at performance therapy is incredible and encouraging and just wonderful!!!! So thankful don't know what I would have done without Josh and his team!!!

Sam McDonald

From the second you walk in, you know this place is different. The staff is 100% concerned with your care and well being, and it shows. My care was personalized and the one-on-one attention I received made me feel like they were truly invested in me, not just giving me a recovery program. This is by far, the best place for Physical Therapy, in Middle Tennessee.

Margaret A

Excellent rehabilitation at a reasonable price. I could barely walk into PTI in April 2017 because of severe Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. I was deeply concerned because my husband and I were planning a trip of a lifetime to London in June. Both Josh and Jena assisted me with exercises and laser and ultrasound treatments. Steadily I became better and walked on average 4 miles a day when we were in London. I was released from care in mid-July and have felt really good since treatment ended. With an injury like these, it is imperative to keep up with my exercises.
