Why People Choose Us Over Our Competitors

Having never been to a Physical Therapist Dr. before i was nervous but Dr. James put me at ease with explaining everything he was doing, and gave me some great rehab exercises i will add into my daily routine. Being in the fitness industry for a living my lower back pain was addressed and fixed! I would recommend Push Through Performance and Dr. James to us professional athletes/fitness industry people and anyone who wants everyday improvement with mobility, aches and pains.

Dr. James goes above and beyond for his Patient and is amazing to work with. He really listens to your needs and works with you to create the best possible outcome. I’ve experienced so much growth in my mobility and feel better overall during my workouts. Thank you Dr. James!!
- Paola “Lola” V.
James was a wonderful therapist. He listened to my concerns and provided a very thorough plan, which included testing, nutrition, exercise and flexibility. He offered additional resources and flexible options to improve and maximize my overall health. James took the time to work with my body and show me how to do things the best way. I strongly recommend working with Push Through Performance to anyone interested in improving their overall health and lifestyle, and addressing any particular issues he/she may be having.

Dr. James Babana is exceptionally well rounded and aware regarding the body and PT. We initially took our 18 year old for a football injury and followed soon after with our 15 year old volleyball player and her injury. Dr Babana looked at the injury but also the whole body to see what might be contributing factors as to why this happened. Both our children improved significantly and quickly. We will be seeing a lot of Dr. Babana in the coming years as we have four athletes!!
- Micheala B.
I can’t talk positively enough about Dr. Babana’s work. He is the top physical therapist doctor that my child has worked with. He is very professional, has a great work ethic, and he made sure her progress is going great with home program as well. James treats his patients like his own family and truly cares about them. I strongly recommend to get Dr. James as your physical therapist, your progress will excel. He is the greatest there is! Thank you for all your doing Dr. Babana!!
- Grace S.
Dr. James provides a concierge physical therapy service where he can focus on systemic issues and not just the primary symptom. This is different from traditional physical therapy where they spend time only on what has been submitted for insurance only. Dr. James is a skilled healer that is driven to create positive results.
