  • "I have been dealing with knee issues for the last year and regular physical therapy was not working for me. I found Bridge through an online search and have had no regrets since. Kyle immediately reached out after I sent in an email and we quickly scheduled an evaluation session. I've been working with Emily for the past couple months and it has truly been great experience. Both are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly very experienced in dealing with injuries. I would highly recommend this place to anyone hoping to return to athletic form after dealing with injuries."

Athletes and Active Individuals Who Choose Our Westlake Physical Therapy

  • "I absolutely love the people and office at Bridge Performance! Kyle and his staff of professionals really have something special going on there! I have been working with Emily for a few months working on and improving some left hip mobility tightness and other minor ailments I've dealt with the last few years. Emily provides exercises that we work on during my appointment time to help warm up the hip. She then dry needles my hip. I am a big runner and fitness enthusiast in general and can honestly say what Emily does and the exercises she gives me to work on at the gym helps keep me going pain free!"

    Brandon S.

  • "Great experience. Came in to help resolve a reoccurrence of a back injury. Goal was to get back into running, playing pickup soccer and being active with my kids. The Bridge team (thanks Emily!!) was always focused on just that: my personal goals. Facilities are great and the combination of on-site work (including manual treatments) and a great training program (delivered through an easy to use app) made for a very effective process."

    Michael T.

  • "I came to Bridge with significant sciatica pain, and I'm happy to say it has greatly improved. Since starting treatment, I've been able to return to running and doing physical activities I hadn't been able to do for a while. I really appreciate that their approach focused on strengthening work tailored to my needs—it made a noticeable difference in my recovery. Kyle and his staff are knowledgeable and supportive, and I've felt well-guided throughout the process. Highly recommend!"

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Recovery time depends on the severity of your injury and how long you've been dealing with pain. For acute knee injuries like runner's knee or minor meniscus issues, many athletes see significant improvement within 4-6 weeks. Post-surgical ACL or meniscus rehab may take 12-16 weeks for full return to sport. At Bridge Rehab, we create a custom treatment plan based on your goals and use advanced techniques like dry needling and Active Release Technique to accelerate recovery so you can get back to training faster.

  • No, Ohio has direct access laws, which means you can see a physical therapist without a referral from your doctor. At Bridge Rehab & Performance, we can evaluate your knee pain and begin treatment right away. If we determine you need additional care from an orthopedic specialist, we'll guide you through that process.
