Prehab 2 Perform

I was born with various debilitating abnormalities of my right foot, knees and back. I have a permanent limp, an unstable and deteriorating spine, and severe arthritis in both knees. I have been to literally dozens of physical therapists overs the years, I am PT’s pin up girl! I was referred to Steve a few months ago and he is literally the first PT I have ever been to that did not make me feel like I was always going to be disadvantaged in some way. His knowledge, passion and imagination for coming up with different ways to tackle difficult problems is outstanding, and his devotion and drive to make real changes makes a huge difference to my progress. He makes me believe, guiding me in a great way to do more rather than less, without endangering my specific problems. I have seen results already. I recently had to undergo surgery for the instability in my spine and Steve is coming to the house to do specific physical therapy to get me back on my feet again and fitter than before. He is able to work with all ages and ranges of problems, from people who can barely move, to the super fit who want to just keep getting better. He is a great athlete himself, but he never makes me feel that, even with all my injuries, that I am any different than his athletic clients. I know I am going to be a pain free, much stronger, more flexible and more active person now I am working with Steve. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I thought I seriously injured my hip flexor. I was in a tremendous amount of discomfort. Driving was difficult and the idea of exercising was out of the question. I saw Dr. Steve Sudell and he was able not only identity the issue as extreme tightness in my hips and hamstrings but also gave me a full regimen of stretches and exercises to address the issue. I was back in the gym again the next week.
The advantage of Prehab 2 Perform is that I was able to see a qualified professional who is familiar with athletes and the common issues associated with strength training. The normal route of seeing a general physician who would than recommend me to an orthopedic doctor, would then recommend me to a physical therapist was avoided by going directly to the source. I saved weeks of doctors visits, fees and unnecessary tests. I was back in the gym armed with the knowledge to alleviate my discomfort and ultimately eliminate the issues causing it.
I would highly recommend seeing Steve with any injury or issue that is hampering your physical pursuits. He will save you time and get you on the road to correcting the issue.

I broke my right meniscus a year ago and saw Steve the very next day. I was surprised when he had me move and rehab right away, but within weeks I was able to function and a year later I squat more than I did before my accident. I broke my left meniscus three months ago while traveling and applied the same principles he had taught me right away: move, ice, massage. I’m now back on track and feeling stronger than before. He taught me that exercising with proper form is the key to recovery and prevention. We’re now working on targeting my weaknesses and strengthening my muscles and joints. He’s a great athlete, constantly trains and improves himself, and I love that in a PT. Curiosity, openness and the fact that he practices what he preaches. Highly recommend.

I came to Steve a few months ago for help with my Crossfit shoulder injury. He made a great assessment of my situation and put me on track to gaining the strength and mobility I needed to get back to 100%. Within a couple months I was well enough to go past shoulder rehab and start building up my general strength for Crossfit. I’ve been seeing Steve 2X per week for a few months and I’m seeing crazy results in my strength. He is in tune with my needs and has me totally on track to get stronger while staying healthy and safe.
I would highly recommend Steve for rehab, mobility, or coaching. He is very knowledgable, helpful, and supportive.

After a car accident left my back angry and unable to perform the most basic moves like standing upright, I was referred to Steve sudell for physical therapy to strengthen my core and get me back on track — exercising safely and efficiently. We worked together for 12 weeks, 3 times a week. Steve was always professional, sensitive to my physical limitations and highly creative with my workouts. Using my natural body weight we were able to achieve more progress than I had anticipated. Steve is a young, talented, driven physical therapist running a well established business at Paradiso CrossFit as well as stretch lab. Having worked at Shape Magazine, I have worked out with many trainers over the years and Steve falls into the category of highly trained, professional and present. There was never a time I felt he wasn’t paying attention or that his mind was elsewhere. He welcomes new clients into the community seamlessly. If you’re looking for an untraditional rehab where you are actively part of the process in the gym and on the move rather than a patient on a bed doing small movements, check out Steve sudell.

Steve is one of the best physical therapists that I have encountered. He is professional, available, and compassionate. I have consulted with him on lots of occasions when I injured myself doing one thing or another. Not only did he quickly and accurately diagnose the problem, but he developed a plan to help me feel better and get stronger in the injured area so it wouldn’t happen again. As someone in the health care field, I cannot more strongly recommend Steve for any of your physical therapy needs.

I injured myself running and developed tendonitis in in a tendon from my left knee to my foot (the anterior tibialis). Steve worked with me so the pain was gone and I could go back to training. Steve is great to work with, very knowledgable and fun to work with.

There is so much goodness to say about Prehab 2 Perform. Steve & Lindsay are phenomenal practitioners. They have a wealth of information as well as experience and know how to work «magic.» Steve, a physical therapist, and Lindsay, an occupational therapist, are a dynamic couple who have not only helped me reach my mobility goals and helped optimize my performance in workouts but Steve has helped rehabilitate my knee after years of being in pain. I am so grateful to this super couple and am so happy I found them. You will not go wrong working with Prehab2Perform !

I started crossfit a year and a half ago and even though I have been getting stronger every month, my squat mobility was very limited! (feet to hip width was not close to ideal, toes out, not full depth, etc)
Steve immediately detected the problem and attacked it. He assessed my issue in one session by having me do a bunch of movements and gave me tons of homework to perform on a daily basis.
After five one-​on-​one sessions and persistence, I am happy to report that I am seeing the gains not only in my lifts but in the way I feel, walk and eve run.
I cannot recommend Steve, Lindsay and Prehab 2 Perform enough and I only wish I could have come to see them earlier… Mega Recommended, you won’t regret it!

Prehab 2 Perform offers a variety of services ranging from outpatient Physical Therapy & sports performance services, nation-​wide educational seminars & online resource videos demonstrating proper mobility & isolated strengthening exercises to reduce injury & optimize performance. As a clinician & athlete myself, I can tell you that Steve is the best in the business. He is very knowledgable, innovative & dedicated to getting his clients back to engaging in the sports & daily activities that they love. The greatest thing of all is that he effectively treats people of all ages & activity levels, so no matter who you are, elite athlete or average Joe, I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I saw Steve to make sure that a low back injury that I had wasn’t too serious and to find out if there was anything I could do to help it heal fast and get stronger so it didn’t happen again. I was very impressed with Steve and how knowledgable and confident he was. He gave me a few exercises and stretches to do; I really feel that they made all the difference in my healing process. I would definitely see Steve again if the need was there. He’s helpful and easy to talk to and passionate about what he does and it comes across in his work!

I have a terrible range of motion. I’ve never stretched properly before exercise – which is part of the problem. The times that I had attempted warm ups, I didn’t notice that much of a difference during or after the workout. I took Steve’s course, Prehab 2 Perform and now I get it. You have to know HOW to stretch and strengthen supportive muscles to feel the benefits.
The class is quite simple to follow. You attempt a movement: a squat, overhead position, etc. He then shows you the fastest way to stretch/​mash/​activate the muscles that allow you to get full range of motion in that movement. Steve and his wife, Lindsay are both very patient and good at coaching through some of the discomfort. It is worth it.
When you actually feel the difference, it is easier to motivate and properly prepare to train. I highly recommend the Prehab 2 Perform course.

What truly sets them apart, other than their wide knowledge base, is the way they interact with their clientele. They really take the time to figure out the issue/​concern, then carefully explain to you «why it is happening» and «how it can be improved.» I came to them for an overall physical overview and with a slight shoulder, muscle-​spasm and Steve carefully outlined a plan to get back to proper form. This was achieved through proper instruction of stretches and movements to improve mobility. At various times, since we also occasionally workout in the same Crossfit Box, he is able to point out additional movements to focus on that improve my lifts — quite dramatically I might add. They are definitely masters of their craft. I highly recommend them!

I have seen Steve multiple times for various issues such as back pain and neck pain. He is extremely good at identifying the source of the pain, the cause of the issue, as well as a establishing a recovery plan. Being an athlete himself, he understands his client’s complications really well and with years of experience, you can trust that he is doing the right thing. I definitely recommend him if you’re looking for someone who is straight to the point, effective, and can help you turn around your injury quickly.

This is physical therapy unlike anything I have ever experienced. Steve and Lindsay provide unparalleled knowledge and accomplished huge physical improvements in a frighteningly quick time. In under 3 – 4 sessions, I had recovered from a shoulder injury and developed routines to strengthen my shoulders, hips, knees, and core strength. They look at a problem as a part of a system, and correct not just the injured area but the system as a whole. I have never felt stronger or safer going into any workout since learning from them. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to live an active life for their entire life.

Steve has saved me more times than I can count. When I have injured myself (which is more times than I care to admit) he was able to pinpoint the exact spot the pain was coming from and gave me a comprehensive plan to get me back to training. One of the biggest takeaways I’ve gotten from Steve, though, is how to maintain my body so I can avoid future injuries. Every time I step foot in the gym now I make sure to properly mobilize which has kept me from the injured list ever since.

I’ve been doing CrossFit for 10 months now and it has made such a positive difference in my life. I’ve been conscientious of my alignment, posture, and form since Day 1 as I know how important it is to execute all movements efficiently and safely. Even though I pride myself on being really mindful of my movements in class I know that I can always learn more seeing as classes can be intense and go by quickly. That’s when I decided to take Steve’s 6-​week Prehab 2 Perform class, co-​taught by his wife, Lindsay. I have learned so many new exercises and stretches that I now use to prepare my body for all different types of lifting. I was humbled to learn that my shoulders and calves are not as flexible as I originally thought, however, with Steve and Lindsay’s help I now have the tools to improve my mobility in those two areas as well as many others. I feel much more confident executing lifts in class and my overall performance continues to improve. I would highly recommend Prehab 2 Perform. I’m very impressed with Steve and Lindsay’s knowledge, experience, and teaching abilities.

Steve and Lindsay are the best physical therapists for any athletic individual that’s looking to recover from an injury. The fact that they are great athletes themselves makes them sympathetic to an active person’s injury. Unlike other PT’s that tell you to stop doing something they offer mobility and strengthening exercises that will get anyone on the road to recovery.
Personally, I’ve been seeing Steve even after I’ve recovered from my injury because working on flexibility, mobility and strength for your weak areas protects against injury. Talk to these guys, you won’t regret it!

These guys ARE the good ones! Recently went in for an appointment for some knee pain. I saw Steve, one of the owners. He was really helpful in acknowledging that I had a a few muscular weaknesses and movement issues that contributed to the causes of my knee pain. Through a handful of short appointments, we were able to work out the problem area in my legs and drastically reduce my pain and increase my mobility. I highly recommend Prehab 2 Perform for anyone needing physical therapy or just have a «kink» that needs working out.
