Physical Therapy for Active Adults and Athletes in New Albany, Ohio

Physical Therapy

As humans, we are meant to move. When we can't engage in physical activity, it also takes a toll on our mental and emotional states. Knowing how to fix an injury isn't always easy, yet every day we help active people in Columbus Ohio get back to their active lifestyle without pain.

At Competitive Edge PT and Performance, we take a different approach to PT, one that gets consistent results and long term relief from pain and injury. We specialize in helping active men and women, Crossfit and fitness athletes, weightlifters, runners, and youth athletes alike.

Pain and Injury are easy to fix, we go the extra step by teaching you exactly what you should do for long term results, and that's why countless people have come to us for help after failing rehab at other places.

If waiting for your problem to get better hasn't worked for you, talk to our Doctor of Physical Therapy to get an expert opinion on the best way for you to start getting relief immediately!

Dry Needling

Are you limited in your workouts by constant nagging pain? What about poor recovery and muscle soreness? Dry Needling can help solve all of those!

Dry Needling is a valuable tool we use in rehab to help reduce pain and improve mobility. The needles help stimulate blood flow and healing in the area of the injury, which promote your body to reduce inflammation and pain.

Dry Needling can be applied to nearly any body part and injury including pain i your neck, shoulder, low back, arm and elbow, hip, thigh, knee, and lower leg! Some of the most common conditions we use dry needling for are shoulder/hip/knee tendinitis, bursitis, rotator cuff tears, joint strains and sprains, arthritis, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and herniated discs.

If you want to see if dry needling can be used for your pain or injury, talk with our Doctor of PT by reserving a free phone consultation!

Perform and Prevent

Are you looking for a way to PERFORM your best, and PREVENT injury? Our Perform and Prevent program was specifically designed with these goals in mind.

Do you feel like your recovery, mobility, and strength in the gym is limiting your progress? Or maybe you're training for a specific race, event, or competition and you're looking for a way to maximize your performance?

Maybe you're just a high performing individual that wants to get the highest benefit out of every single workout you do?

Our Perform and Prevent program checks all those boxes. With an in depth assessment, we can determine how your body moves, where it is lacking strength and efficiency, and implement a plan to help you crush your goals!

You’re Just 3 Steps Away From Being Pain-Free

Step 1: RESET

Reducing pain is the main focus in step 1. Together, with an extensive assessment, we develop a personalized plan to get you out of pain and provide a "reset", so we can start optimizing your movement and get you back to 100%!

Step 2: REFINE

Once your pain is getting better, we fix your poor movements and address your strength and mobility to fix the issues that got you injured in the first place.

Step 3: REINFORCE

This is definitely the most important step! Getting rid of pain and working on mobility is only the beginning. In Step 3 we work with you to REINFORCE your body, by making long term change and creating a plan so your pain and injuries don't come back!
