Physical Therapy
The foundation of everything we do — a real evaluation that finds what’s actually driving your pain, then a plan built to fix it, not just manage it.
Every Plan Starts With Finding the Actual Cause
Physical therapy at True Health & Performance starts the same way for every patient, regardless of what brought them in — a thorough, movement-based evaluation that looks for the actual source of the problem, not just the spot where it hurts.
Dr. Pete Trujillo and Dr. Torey Kertz, both Doctors of Physical Therapy with orthopedic and manual therapy training, build every plan around that evaluation — blending hands-on treatment with progressive, fitness-focused exercise so you leave capable, not just temporarily comfortable.
A generic protocol treats the diagnosis. A real evaluation treats you — and that’s the difference between symptoms going away and staying away.
What Sets Our Physical Therapy Apart
A Real Evaluation First
No generic protocol handed to every patient — your plan is built around what’s actually driving your specific pain.
Hands-On Manual Therapy
Skilled manual work to restore joint mobility and release restricted soft tissue.
Fitness-Focused Exercise
Progressive, purposeful exercise — not just stretching — that rebuilds real strength and capacity.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit starts with understanding your history, your goals, and a hands-on movement evaluation — not a five-minute form and a generic exercise sheet.
From there, we build a plan specific to what we find, and adjust it as you progress.
Thorough Evaluation
Movement, strength, and joint assessment focused on finding the real cause, not just the symptom.
A Plan Built Around You
Treatment and exercise chosen for your specific findings and goals — not a standard protocol.
Ongoing Adjustment
Your plan progresses and changes as you do, checked and adjusted at every visit.

Physical Therapy FAQs
Do I need a physician referral to start physical therapy?
In many cases no, but this can depend on your specific situation — call us and we’ll help you figure out the right first step.
What conditions do you treat?
Primarily orthopedic, sports-related, and post-surgical conditions — back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, and similar joint or muscle issues. See our What We Treat pages for more detail, or call if you’re not sure your situation fits.
How is this different from a typical PT clinic?
Every plan starts with a real evaluation aimed at the actual cause, and treatment blends hands-on manual therapy with fitness-focused, progressive exercise rather than a generic handout.
How many visits will I need?
It depends entirely on what’s going on. Your evaluation gives us — and you — a much better sense of a realistic timeline.
