ARE ANY OF THESE HOLDING YOU BACK?
  • ?
    You're dealing with pain that won't go away — in your back, shoulder, knee, hip, or neck — and it's affecting your daily life, workouts, or sleep.
  • ?
    You've been told to "just rest" or "take it easy" — but the pain comes right back the moment you try to be active again.
  • ?
    You've tried other physical therapy clinics where you were rushed through 15-minute sessions, handed a generic exercise sheet, and saw a different therapist every visit.
  • ?
    You've been relying on painkillers, injections, or braces just to get through the day — and you want a real solution, not a band-aid.
  • ?
    You're worried about needing surgery and want to explore every non-surgical option before going under the knife.
  • ?
    You had surgery and need expert rehabilitation to get back to full strength, full range of motion, and your active lifestyle.

IF YOU SAID YES — YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

We hear these frustrations every single week. People come to us after months — sometimes years — of dealing with pain that nobody has been able to fix. They've been bounced between doctors, given vague diagnoses, and told to "live with it."

The truth is, most pain and movement problems have a clear, identifiable cause. The problem isn't that your body is broken. The problem is that nobody has taken the time to figure out what's actually wrong.

At Strike Physiotherapy & Performance, we do things differently. Every session is one-on-one with a doctor of physical therapy We don't rush. We don't use cookie-cutter protocols. We find the root cause, build a plan around it, and fix it — so the problem stays gone.

A MESSAGE FROM A LICENSED PHYSICAL THERAPIST
Dr. Levan Akopov

DR. LEVAN AKOPOV

PT, DPT, CSCS
Founder of Strike Physiotherapy & Performance

If you're reading this page, chances are you've been dealing with pain for a while — and nothing you've tried has given you a lasting solution. I understand how frustrating that is, and I want you to know something important:

The issue isn't that your body can't heal. It's that nobody has taken the time to figure out what's really going on.

"WE TREAT THE BODY AS A WHOLE. THE LOCATION OF YOUR PAIN IS RARELY THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEM."

Most clinics focus on where it hurts. If your knee hurts, they treat the knee. If your back hurts, they treat the back. But what they miss is that pain is often the result of a chain reaction — weak hips causing knee overload, a stiff mid-back putting stress on the low back, poor shoulder mechanics creating impingement.

At Strike PT, I don't just treat symptoms. I conduct a comprehensive evaluation of how your entire body moves, identify the weak links that are creating your problem, and build a treatment plan that addresses the real cause.

Every session is one-on-one with me — for a full session. You'll never be passed off to an aide, share your session with other patients, or be given a cookie-cutter plan. You get my full expertise, my full attention, and a program designed specifically for you.

Whether you're an athlete returning from an injury, a parent who can't pick up their kids without pain, or an active adult who refuses to slow down — I'm here to get you back to the life you want to live.

SPECIALIZED PHYSICAL THERAPY PROGRAMS

We offer targeted programs designed for specific goals and lifestyles — because a runner's rehab plan shouldn't look the same as a lifter's or a post-surgical patient's.

🏋️

RETURN TO THE GYM

Designed for lifters and gym athletes having pain with squats, deadlifts, bench press, or overhead movements. We get you back under the bar pain-free — and refine your mechanics so you lift stronger and safer than before.

🏃

RETURN TO RUNNING

For runners of all levels dealing with pain that's limiting their mileage and performance. Includes full video gait analysis, targeted strengthening, and a progressive return-to-run plan built around your goals.

🥊

RETURN TO SPORT

For athletes at every level — from recreational to competitive — who want to get back to their sport bigger, faster, and stronger than before their injury. Includes sport-specific testing and performance benchmarks.

🏥

POST-SURGICAL REHAB

Expert rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, spinal surgery, hip replacement, and more. We work with your surgeon's protocols while pushing you safely toward full recovery and beyond.

WHAT PATIENTS GET TOLD VS. THE TRUTH
✕ Bad Advice

"JUST REST AND IT'LL GO AWAY"

You took time off. The pain faded. Then you tried to be active again — and it came right back. Rest doesn't fix the underlying weakness or movement dysfunction. It just pauses the symptoms temporarily.

✓ The Reality

TARGETED REHAB FIXES THE CAUSE

When you strengthen the weak areas and correct the movement faults that created the problem, you eliminate the pain at its source — and it doesn't come back when you resume your activities.

✕ Bad Advice

"YOU'LL PROBABLY NEED SURGERY"

Surgery is sometimes necessary — but far too often it's recommended before conservative treatment has been properly attempted. Many conditions that seem surgical respond remarkably well to expert physical therapy.

✓ The Reality

PHYSICAL THERAPY SHOULD BE TRIED FIRST

Research consistently shows that physical therapy is as effective as surgery for many common conditions — including rotator cuff tears, meniscus tears, spinal stenosis, and more. The right PT can save you from the operating table.

✕ Bad Advice

"ALL PT IS BASICALLY THE SAME"

Most PT clinics see 3-4 patients at once, use aides for the majority of your session, and hand you a generic exercise sheet. You get 15 minutes of actual therapist time if you're lucky.

✓ The Reality

THE QUALITY OF PT MATTERS ENORMOUSLY

One-on-one sessions with a skilled therapist produce fundamentally different results than assembly-line clinics. The right diagnosis, the right plan, and the right hands-on care make all the difference.

✕ Bad Advice

"JUST TAKE PAINKILLERS AND PUSH THROUGH"

Painkillers mask the problem while the underlying issue gets worse. You feel less pain, so you keep loading a dysfunctional movement pattern — until the damage becomes harder to reverse.

✓ The Reality

FIX THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SYMPTOM

Pain is your body's signal that something is wrong. Instead of silencing that signal, we find what's causing it and fix it. That's how you get lasting relief — not a temporary mask.

Herniated discs, sciatica, chronic low back pain, postural dysfunction, spinal stenosis, and more. We find the root cause and fix it for good.

SHOULDER PAIN

Rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, impingement, labral tears, instability, and post-surgical shoulder rehab.

KNEE PAIN

ACL/MCL injuries, meniscus tears, runner's knee, patellar tendinitis, IT band syndrome, and post-surgical knee rehab.

RUNNING INJURIES

Shin splints, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, IT band syndrome, hip pain from running — with full video gait analysis included.

NECK PAIN

Cervical disc issues, tension headaches, whiplash, nerve impingement, and chronic neck stiffness from desk work or poor posture.

HIP PAIN

Hip impingement, labral tears, bursitis, hip flexor strains, and pain from sitting too long or training too hard. We restore full hip mobility and strength.

SPORTS INJURIES

Sprains, strains, fractures, overuse injuries, and trauma from contact and non-contact sports. We get athletes back on the field stronger than before.

POST-SURGICAL REHAB

Expert rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, spinal fusion, hip or knee replacement, and other orthopedic procedures.

CHRONIC PAIN

Pain that's lasted months or years with no clear resolution. We identify the underlying movement dysfunctions and develop a plan to break the cycle.

WHAT MAKES STRIKE PT DIFFERENT

At Strike Physiotherapy & Performance, you're not a number. You're not being rotated through a revolving door of therapists, crammed into a room with four other patients, or handed a generic exercise sheet that every other patient in the building is doing.

Every single session is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist — for a full session. No aides, no assistants, no distractions. You get his undivided expertise and attention because that's what it takes to get real, lasting results.

We treat the body as a whole. Through our extensive training and experience, we understand that the location of your pain often doesn't reflect the actual cause. Not only do we fix your current problem — we identify and target weak areas throughout your entire body to decrease the likelihood of future injuries.

As a former competitive combat athlete himself, licensed physical therapist understands the demands of an active lifestyle. While many providers will simply tell you to stop your desired activity, we understand that avoiding the things you enjoy most because of an injury is no way to live.

WHAT SETS US APART:

  • One-on-one for a full session with your doctor — every single visit. No aides, no shared sessions.
  • Root cause treatment — not symptom management. We fix the actual problem so it stays gone.
  • 100% personalized plans — built around your body, your goals, and your lifestyle. Never a template.
  • Direct access to your therapist between visits — we're committed to your entire rehab process.
  • Performance-focused care — we don't just get you out of pain, we get you back to your peak.
  • No referral needed — you can schedule directly with us without waiting for a doctor's referral.
