  • "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 a 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."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • At Bridge, we don't stop at pain relief. While traditional PT focuses on getting you out of pain, we go further by addressing the root cause, rebuilding stability and strength, and preparing your body to handle the demands of your sport or activity. Our performance-based approach combines advanced manual therapy techniques like dry needling, cupping, and Active Release Technique (ART) with sport-specific training to help you return stronger, faster, and more resilient. We're athletes treating athletes—we understand what it takes to get back to peak performance.

  • No referral is needed! Ohio allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can schedule an evaluation with us without seeing a doctor first. We'll assess your condition, create a custom treatment plan, and get you started on your recovery right away. If we determine that you need additional medical intervention, we'll coordinate with your physician to ensure you get the care you need.

  • Recovery timelines vary based on your injury, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some clients see significant improvement within a few weeks, while others with more complex issues may need several months of focused work. During your initial evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline and create a personalized plan to get you back to your activities as quickly and safely as possible. Our goal is always to help you recover efficiently—without cutting corners that could lead to re-injury.

  • Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows us to assess and treat the area you're concerned about. For example, if you're dealing with a knee or hip issue, wear shorts. For shoulder or upper body concerns, wear a tank top or t-shirt. Bring athletic shoes if we'll be analyzing your movement or running gait. We want to see how your body moves in real-world conditions, so dress like you're heading to the gym.

  • We're here to help. Call us at (216) 345-3496 or schedule a free phone consult to learn how we can help you overcome shoulder pain and get back to your sport.
