Paige Stella is mind blowingly brilliant. She has changed my life. I owe a lot to her teachings and would sorely miss her if ever she was not available! Love her!

I started Rob Mahlman at Performance Optimal in 2022 for a lower back issue, and I've been seeing Rob ever since for any PT needs. He always gets me in quickly, checks in on my progress, and is incredibly supportive while also keeping me accountable. Rob is exceptionally thorough, ensuring that every aspect of my treatment is covered. Whenever I need recommendations, he connects me with the right doctors and communicates with my other healthcare providers to ensure everyone is on the same page. The new facility is great, always clean and well-maintained. Rob is very knowledgeable and consistently gives me advice on maintaining good health. The level of care and dedication he provides is amazing and I am very grateful to have him in my corner! I highly recommend Rob and the entire team at Performance Optimal for anyone in need of physical therapy.

I couldn’t be more emphatic about my appreciation and respect for the team at Performance. I give them full credit for the progress I have made and confidence I have developed in my physical health. While every single employee has contributed to my well being on a regular basis and truly made performance feel like a second home to me (the front desk staff is welcoming, helpful, and joyful; the aides are friendly, have phenomenal senses of humor, and provide a nurturing essence even in passing; Christina’s reformer Pilates sessions are unparalleled; all of the therapists engage in entertaining and engaging discourse, ensuring an inclusive environment) I want to highlight the staff I have worked with the most:

I have seen Brian for back and neck pain following a car accident; he is knowledgeable, caring, and a delight to work with. He strikes an incredibly impressive balance between professional and personal support. Not only have I felt my needs have been met in my sessions, he has given me strategies I can implement at home so that I can feel autonomous during my healing journey.

I have experienced transformations during my time training with Chris; not only have I seen the physical changes in my body, I have an entirely different understanding of what my body needs and how to execute movements. His cues and explanations make challenging concepts accessible for everyone. His intelligence and humor shine in each session: you are guaranteed to laugh and learn something new each time you see him.

Thank you to the unbeatable staff at performance for everything over the years! I cannot recommend them enough!

I have been receiving personal training from Dylan Viscardi. He has been an incredible coach and is very talented at identifying areas of improvement and course of action. The facility on Westport Ave in Norwalk is extremely well equipped including ice baths, steam room, Pilates studio, golf sim, compression sleeve recovery room and more. The Technogym machines are unlike anything I’ve used, and they alone make it worth choosing Performance Optimal Health; however, the welcoming staff and knowledgeable, experienced trainers (specifically Dylan Viscardi) are where the real value lies.

Working out with Dylan at Performance has been a life-changing experience.
I came with all kinds of fears, and after about a year of being sedentary after a stroke, I thought there was no way I would ever get back into the athletic body or mindset that I had prior to that event.
It’s only been 4 months, and I am incredibly grateful and overwhelmingly happy with the strides I’ve made. All my fear turned into direct motivation. I’ve gone from working out 2 days a week to 4 days, and I really want 7!!
I feel amazing and strong. One more thing about Dylan is that his expertise, his experience and education inform every workout to attend to my personal needs. He is attentive to every nuance and every micro movement I make to keep me safe from injury.
I couldn’t ask for more or be any happier.

The new facility is extra clean and really great to be in. I partake in the PT program as well, and Brian has been incredible as well as Sofia to resolve an issue with my toe/foot/hip alignment.
Everyone at Performance puts great attention to detail. The front desk is really friendly and has a wonderful way of helping out with appointments or any questions at all.
If you need PT or looking for a great a great gym and great classes this is the place to come.

I have been a devoted customer of Performance for many years and have referred many friends to Performance who like myself have been 100% satisfied with everything Performance has to offer. The staff is incredibly trained, beyond helpful, always goes above and beyond in caring for their patients physically and emotionally. They encourage you to do as best as you can while kindly having you go beyond what you think you are capable of. Everyone I have been in contact with from the PT staff, trainers, reception, billing literally everyone has consistently been kind, helpful and professional. Performance is an A+++ company. I am grateful to be their client.
Most sincerely,

Rob, my main PT person is really skilled, really caring, really listens, is really positive, and adjusts that therapy according to my present needs. Roza, my trainer is also extraordinary in tune with my needs, really paying attention to where I'm at and to my comfort and well-being while always gently pushing me to do more. And Garrett and all the other associate PT people I work with are attentive, knowledgeable and encouraging. And most of all, everyone is so friendly and upbeat, always glad to see you, which makes it a joy to show up for the hard work of physical therapy.

My physical therapist, Rob Mahlman, is many steps above any physical therapist I’ve worked with before. They’ve been good, but Rob is stellar. He completed a residency focusing on the back after his PT training. He helped me tremendously before Covid, virtually at the peak of Covid, and then in person again. He’s super conscientious, thoughtful, experienced, patient and compassionate. He regularly communicates with my physiatrist when needed and with me when needed. He broke my cycle of back pain through hands on methods and exercise programs (previous physical therapists were not successful). He’s stellar.

I highly recommend Performance to anyone who wants the best physical therapy and care. I have worked with Performance for many different injuries over the years and I can’t say enough about the results. I currently am working with Stash for my recovery from hip surgery. He is extremely attentive when we are working together and he is very responsive with questions I have in person or over email. Performances equipment and treatment is top of the line and they do their absolute most to give you the best treatment possible.

I cannot say enough about the professionalism of Jay Myerson. I have had chronic back pain for years. Jay successfully worked with me to reduce the pain. He attempted several different approaches until he found the most effective course for me. Jay would frequently email me on weekends or after hours to follow-up on how I was feeling. He wanted to know in real time, if the treatment was helping me. He is the greatest example of a professional who's only objective is to do whatever is required to help his patient. Thanks Jay!

I needed out patient PT after my total knee replacement surgery and I selected Performance Physical Therapy based on location as it is easily accessible from US1 and happy to say it was a great choice. The facility is well run, the staff is very friendly but most important, the vigorous therapy I'm receiving from Brian and his team is exactly what I need to help build back my strength and balance. I'm a senior and the team knows the right amount of the level of activity I need to support my age and endurance.

Performance Physical Therapy is amazing....over the past 8 years they have helped me with 4 injuries (ACL, tennis elbow, neck stiffness and heal injury) and were able to heal all of them quickly.

Jennifer H. and Her Amazing Staff Exceeded My Expectations. I am not easy to impress when it comes to physical therapy as I have tried everything and anything around the globe to relief neck and back pain for the past 6 years. I just finished recovering from ACDF surgery and felt so great that I "overdid it". I was in tremendous discomfort and I did not want to take any prescription medication for pain since I have been drug free since my surgery. Cindy was so understanding and accommodating to my needs that Jennifer offered to stay late so she could treat me. The initial assessment process was outstanding. I thought I had tried everything until Jennifer introduced me to "dry needling therapy" which did the trick. I am hooked now! Thanks Jennifer and staff!
