Welcome to Stronger Physical Therapy and Performance
Stronger Physical Therapy + Performance helps active individuals in the Omaha area achieve their optimal movement, performance, and strength.
As a young athlete, my experiences with sport injuries, surgeries, and rehabilitation motivated me to pursue a career as a physical therapist. After practicing for three years in outpatient orthopedic settings, I wanted to turn my passion for sports rehabilitation, performance training, and injury prevention into a treatment model that better serves active individuals.
I created Stronger Physical Therapy + Performance to offer:
A Strength-Based Setting
I often realized the traditional physical therapy setting is not appealing to active individuals or higher level athletes, as its perceived more for post-surgical treatment or the elderly. My goal with Stronger Physical Therapy + Performance is to bridge the gap and bring treatment directly to the gym setting where clients can work on returning to their sport/active lifestyle, and get stronger using the right equipment. My treatment model is systemic in nature, looking at how the body moves as a whole to fix the root cause of problems.
Improved Client Experiences
In a traditional setting, patients often spend limited time with a physical therapist before finishing their treatment with an aide/tech. And I’m most certainly not going to put you on ice/heat with electrical stimulation for half your treatment, and then finish up with an ultra sound. Your time is valuable, and I believe that your goals will best be reached with continuity and specialized treatment. My sessions are one-on-one for a full hour, which ensures enough time to make adequate progress based on your individualized plan of care.
Cost Transparency
Your healthcare choices and treatment should not be dictated by insurance companies. I work directly with patients as an out-of-network provider, which means I can provide treatment based on what’s right for you and not what insurance companies dictate me to perform. With Stronger Physical Therapy + Performance you’ll always know the cost of service, and see transparency in pricing. You may be hesitating to go out-of-network, but the costs may actually be comparable and you can still submit your own claim for out-of-network reimbursement. I think you’ll find that your health is worth the investment.
A little more about me…
I received my bachelor’s in exercise science with minors in health science and business administration from the University of Nebraska Kearney in 2014. I attended the University of Nebraska Medical Center where I received my doctorate in physical therapy in 2017. After that I moved to Oregon where I practiced in an outpatient orthopedic setting before moving back to Nebraska. I have experience leading speed and agility camps for elementary students, intro to speed/power/ACL camp for middle school girls, and a speed and power camp for high school boys. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and one year old daughter, working out, golfing, watching/playing sports, and traveling…. And did I mention lifting weights?
Oh, by the way, my name is Gavin and I’m the owner/physical therapist/strength&conditioning guy at Stronger Physical Therapy + Performance.
Let’s Get Stronger.
