What Are People Saying?
Injury Prevention & Team Dryland
“Grandeur Physical Therapy & Sports Performance saved my life. I had experienced changes in my life that were affecting my mood and ability to function. Grandeur Physical Therapy & Sports Performance helped me work through what I was feeling and now I’m on the path to feeling healthy and productive once again”
- PVAA Head Coach, Corey Lomas
Endurance Runner
"I started working with Dr. Sam when my body had hit an all time low. I am a distance runner who had run several marathons without any professional help or training, skipped strength and rest days, and had run myself into the ground. I had developed nerve compression in my lower back which had caused a plethora of compensation injuries. Dr. Sam has been an absolute life saver. He was not only able to accurately figure out what was wrong, but he has been able to help me execute a game plan and help me regain not only my pain-free life but my ability to do my passion; run. He is so knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic and in my eyes, the best PT out there. Dr. Sam makes every session a fun experience because he genuinely cares about his patients. Every session left me feeling optimistic and motivated. My injury was without a doubt one of the toughest experiences of my life, and he made sure I never stopped believing that I would one day run again- and he was right. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking to fix an injury, improve the way they move, and come back better and stronger than ever."
