True Health and Performance

Dr. Torey Kertz

DPT, CF-L1
Physical Therapist | CrossFit Coach | Movement Specialist
Torey is a Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate from Rockhurst University with a passion for helping people move better, perform stronger, and live pain-free. He specializes in working with fitness athletes, individuals with chronic pain, and people of all ages recovering from injury or striving to return to the activities they love.

Outside of True Health & Performance, Torey enjoys coaching CrossFit, spending time with his wife—who also shares a passion for healthcare—and caring for their horses on their property.

His clinical approach blends strength and conditioning principles with evidence-based rehabilitation to empower patients to take ownership of their movement and recovery. Torey believes that lasting change comes from understanding the “why” behind pain and building confidence through movement.

After personally experiencing debilitating low back pain, Torey developed a deep passion for helping others learn to manage and overcome pain on their own. That experience continues to shape his philosophy—educating and equipping people with the tools to take back control of their health.

At True Health & Performance, I help bridge the gap between rehab and real-life performance. My role is to guide people from pain and limitation back to confidence and strength—whether that’s returning to the gym, the field, or simply feeling good in everyday movement. I specialize in helping fitness-minded individuals and those with chronic pain learn how to move smarter for everyday life.

Too often, patients feel like they have no control over their pain or progress. They’re told to rest, take medication, or rely on someone else to “fix” them—and that mindset can make recovery feel discouraging and dependent. I want to change that. My goal is to help people understand their bodies, build confidence in movement, and realize that they have the power to manage pain and stay active on their own terms.

Patient Testimonials

I love this place for PT. I actually look forward to going each time. Before they start therapy with you they ask questions like how are you feeling, how did you feel after the last session. Not only do they show you what exercises they want you to do they explain why and how the exercise benefits you. Pete even goes over nutrition with you explain what the body needs.  They are the greatest!
