Performx has turned one year old! 

And we have been reflecting on the wild journey it has been so far.

We've gotten the opportunity to meet and work with so many incredible people and with quite a few new faces as of recently, we wanted to take a second to share a bit about the story and mission of Performx Physical Therapy.

The Performx Story - How this all got started... ⏮️

Although we officially opened our brick and mortar doors in July 2023 inside Anytime Fitness Independence, Performx really started back in 2018 in London. 🇬🇧
 
Sydney and I had moved down from Scotland about 6-months prior and I was already fast approaching total burn out from working at high volume "PT Mill."
 
Everyday we were struggling to make a real difference for people and quickly realized that I needed to find a way to do PT differently or find a new career.

So I reduced my hours at the physical therapy mill clinic to the bare minimum to keep a UK work visa and started seeing people on the side out of the jiu jitsu gym I was training at. Quickly I got overwhelmed with people wanting actual help and started renting a room at another BJJ gym in central London. 🥋
 
Focused on helping the underserved jiu jitsu community, we called ourselves Grapplers Performance. However we soon found ourselves involved in performance rehab for all athletes, with a patient load full of active adults who cared about their bodies, movement, and overcoming whatever obstacles necessary to be able to do what they loved - hiking, golfing, crossfit, etc. 
 
2020 rolled around and we took it as a welcome opportunity to move home. Most of our patients wanted to keep improving, so we pivoted Grapplers Performance to focus on virtual care and still today provide online performance rehab to grappling athletes across the globe. 

We're still striving to have Grapplers Performance be #1 resource to find quality sports injury recovery information on BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) Performance nad Physical Therapy for athletes worldwide. 💻

A move back home to Oregon at the start of last year allowed us to pursue our big dream once again, to open an in-person clinic for sports physical therapy in Willamette Valley to help all athletes (aka YOU) overcome their limitations to do the things that mean the most. 

We couldn't believe it when we were introduced to Jen at Anytime Fitness within a week of getting back to Oregon, who was also searching for a Physical Therapy business to compliment the gym. ✨ 

Not going to lie - it was really scary taking the leap…

(especially with our first baby on the way), but we couldn't believe the demand there was for quality healthcare for athletes and in February 2024 opened up a second location in a BJJ gym, Combat Sports Center, in Salem. 

We hope getting to know our origin story helps you to understand a bit more on who we are and why we do what we do.

Our mission is to help all athletes overcome their limiting beliefs & is our guiding force. If you have been struggling with something and are not where you want to be, we would love to talk. We offer free 15-minute Discovery Calls, you can book on here.
