Optimal Performance

"I started coming to OP because of a groin pain that I couldn't stretch in the right way. The staff here was super helpful about giving me exercises, dry needling, and really trying whatever I needed to make sure that I was able to get back running. After a month of working here, I was back to my normal running routine without any pain and made it through my run season. I was super grateful for the work that I got done here."

"I would highly recommend Dr. Brock and Optimal Performance. I was struggling with persistent achilles/post tib/and general calf pain for more than a month leading up to an international marathon that I had a whole trip planned around. Dr. Brock identified the weaknesses that were contributing to the pain and gave me a variety of exercises to help strengthen them. He also did dry needling and shockwave therapy that provided more immediate pain relief and helped me get through the race. I have continued to do the exercises that he recommended and am now building back closer to my base mileage and am feeling SO much better! Jesse was super friendly and was great in helping me get scheduled and answering all my questions!"

"Optimal Perfomance is a great Service Provider! I've been working with this team (in some form or another) for years. The team is highly skilled, patient and they always help me feel comfortable during my visits. They are also easy work with and always set me right with any issues I have. I'm sure they would do the same for you!"

"I've been a runner for years, but this year I set some of my biggest goals yet, including training for a marathon. As I ramped up my mileage, I started battling a nagging hip injury that had lingered for nearly a year, along with sudden, intense knee pain that made every run feel like a setback. I was frustrated, scared, and honestly unsure if I'd even make it to the starting line. That's when I started working with Dr. Matt at Optimal Performance, and it's made all the difference. For the past several months, he's been my go-to for recovery, mobility, and injury prevention throughout marathon training. He creates comprehensive, individualized plans that evolve with my training load and help me stay strong, healthy, and consistent. He's proactive in adjusting programming as my needs change and has worked tirelessly to keep me ahead of any setbacks. What truly sets Dr. Matt apart is his ability to understand how the body responds to the demands of high-volume training. He takes the time to evaluate the full picture--movement patterns, imbalances, training stress--and develops strategies that address the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. Thanks to his expertise and care, I'm running stronger than ever and heading into race day with real confidence. I'm so grateful to have him in my corner. Working with Dr. Matt has truly been one of the most important pieces of my marathon build."

"Ryan and his team are hands down the best at helping me recover and get back to running, weight training, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I use them quite regularly for preventative care as well."

"Higher than 5 stars for Dr. Matt. I love the Halsted venue Edge. Being 100% healthy so I can race often and train every day is so important to me. I am being cared for the entire journey starting with quickly sending me to the right PT doctor and getting an appointment fast. Matt has so much expertise and a listening ear 100%. I'm back on my way to a full recovery as I am seeing the light! I would recommend this group of doctors with my whole heart and trust me, I am the most skeptical, demanding and have the highest expectations of anyone I know. YOU ARE IN GREAT HANDS!"

"I've been working with Dr. Ryan for over a year now. He has been exceptional with helping me get more in touch with my body and helping me to stay injury free. I originally went to him with a knee issue after seeing a few doctors. He work with a lot of endurance athletes and was able to pin point the issue and get me back into training. I have and will continue to recommend Optimal Performance to any serious athlete that is wanting to improve there performance and stay injury free."

"I've been going to Dr. Ryan for over 7 years now. When I began, it was a last ditch effort to avoid back fusion surgery that might have ended my marathon adventures. Because of him, not only did I avoid that surgery, but regained my speed and have run nearly 80 more marathons since. Ryan has helped me through numerous injuries and struggles, but and small. I regularly refer to him as my shaman. He is not a one-size-fits-all practitioner. He "sees" with his hands and figures out what isn't working right and applies to appropriate treatment to remedy that. On top of how knowledgeable and effective he is, he happens to be a really great guy to be around and a good hearted human being. I can't recommend him highly enough."
