I had an excellent experience working with Eric for Achilles tendinitis in both ankles. From the very first session, he took the time to listen carefully, assess my condition thoroughly, and tailor a treatment plan that really worked for me. I had 6 weeks till a triathlon, so we got right to work!The sessions were a great balance of hands-on therapy and guided exercises, and I appreciated how Eric explained everything in clear, simple terms. I started noticing improvements in pain and mobility after a few sessions. Eric was always patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in my recovery.Thanks to his expertise and care, I was able to compete in my triathlon with no pain during and after the race. I highly recommend Eric to anyone dealing with Achilles issues or any injury!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Eric for my shoulder injury. From day one, he took the time to really understand what I was dealing with and built a treatment plan that was both effective and manageable. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care have helped in pain management.Eric was always attentive, encouraging, and clearly very skilled in a variety of techniques. I’d highly recommend Eric to anyone dealing with injury or looking for a PT!

Kate is very friendly and I enjoyed working with her. She was very good about listening to me when there were changes in my condition and was responsive in modifying my exercises to match.

The atmosphere at Peak Performance in Arlington is upbeat and encouraging and the entire staff of expert Physical Therapists there are amazing. I've had the privilege of working with Eric on and off for a couple years now to maintain and build strength, flexibility and balance despite moderate to severe osteoarthritis in my knees and ankle. In addition to the custom exercise programs on site and at home, I have received dry needling from Eric which has helped reduce pain and inflammation. He is not only super knowledgeable but also kind and supportive. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for top tier physical therapy…look no more, Peak Performance will get you back on track! I have been seeing Kate Driscoll at Peak Performance for a few months now dealing with severe shoulder issues and the experience has been 100% positive. Kate is an excellent PT, her knowledge and practical application are outstanding. The facility itself is top notch and the atmosphere is always positive with great energy.

I cannot recommend Peak Performance and specifically Eric Leach highly enough! Eric is a wizard who has helped me come back from multiple injuries and surgeries and return to sport good as new! All the staff and facilities are top notch and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming.

I can’t say enough good things about working with Eric for my wrist and back injuries. From day one, he took the time to really understand what I was dealing with and built a treatment plan that was both effective and manageable. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care made a huge difference in my recovery.One of the most effective parts of my treatment was the dry needling Eric did on my wrist. I had been dealing with ongoing pain and limited mobility, and after just one session, I was genuinely shocked by the relief I felt. With a few more sessions, the improvement was significant.Eric was always attentive, encouraging, and clearly very skilled in a variety of techniques. Thanks to his approach, I’ve regained strength, reduced pain, and feel confident in continuing my recovery. I’d highly recommend Eric to anyone dealing with injury or looking for a PT!

Sarah did an amazing job with my ACL surgery prehab! She expertly guided me in regaining full range of motion and strength in my injured leg. I felt incredibly prepared for surgery thanks to her, and her work is truly paying off in my rehab. The facility is also fantastic. Highly recommend!

I came in with a pinched nerve in my neck in a lot of pain with significant weakness in my tricep. I saw Eric for about 6 weeks. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He listened, understood where I was at and what I needed and spent our time focused on concrete things that would make an impact in my recovery. I got the most success and progress after he recommended I do needling and radiculopathy. It was a little different but ultimately lead to a serious reduction in pain and increase in strength recovery. Will definitely go back if I have future injuries.

Highly recommend Jacquelyn Brown at Peak Performance PT for climbing-related injuries! As a climber herself, she thoroughly understood my shoulder issue and provided excellent, targeted treatment. Her climbing background was a huge plus—she really gets the specific demands of the sport. If you're a climber dealing with shoulder problems or other injuries, she's definitely the PT to see.

I needed PT after an injury and had a great experience here. My PT Kate was excellent and very knowledgeable and worked with me until everything was resolved. It feels great to be stronger now and pain-free!

Peak Performance Physical Therapy helped me safely return to recreational CrossFit after a lumbar disc injury. I had been dealing with sciatic pain for a year and a half and tried other PT programs that did not prioritize goals of returning to strength training. Eric Leach listened to my goals and developed a strong program with progressive loading that helped me manage, and ultimately eliminate, lingering sciatica symptoms. I highly recommend Eric and Peak Performance for PT care to facilitate return to sport. I recently hit a new Olympic weightlifting personal best that I did not think would be possible after my injury.

I've been to Peak Performance for two separate injuries, and I cannot recommend my experiences enough. I first worked with Kate on my first case and Sarah on my second - both times, I received thoughtful attention and thorough evaluations that resulted in a PT plan that fully resolved my discomfort within 2 months of weekly sessions. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I found myself needing PT again in the future: The staff is friendly and attentive, the facility is a clean and open space, and the location is convenient with easy parking in the surrounding area.

I've worked with a couple dozen physical therapists over the years and Eric Leach is certainly one of the best. Having gone to him for multiple sports-related injuries, Eric has done a fantastic job getting me back to "peak performance" (ha) in a timely manner. He's very knowledgeable and also brings a ton of enthusiasm so our sessions are pretty fun.

I have used many physical therapists, but Mike from Peak Performance is by far the best I have worked with. I came to him with a very bad ankle sprain that resulted in some torn ligaments. After two months of hard work with Mike I am back on my feet and training for my next marathon. The best thing about Mike is that he is very flexible. He was able to work with my crazy schedule and adjusted his protocol as my recovery sped up. I hope I don’t need physical therapy for a while, but if I do I will definitely return to Peak Performance. I never thought that 2 short months after my injury I would be running again. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Mike!

If you’re in need of physical therapy call Peak Performance! About a year ago I needed physical therapy and other places either didn’t take my health insurance or didn’t have hours to fit my busy student/work schedule. Once I found Peak Performance all of my problems were solved!

KAREN S., SOMERVILLE, MA

Mike is very nice, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about his work. I saw him for several months for a shoulder injury and we successfully worked through it. He’s very flexible with his time and schedule. I was hesitant and doubtful about physical therapy but Mike has made me a true believer. Go to him, you won’t be sorry!

What to say about working with Mike?? Mike has changed the outlook I have on myself and on my life! He has pushed me to achieve my personal and fitness goals which I never thought were even possible. After years of spinning and body pump, I never changed my body composition and I was starting to get back pain. Since training with Mike for 3 months I have lost 2 pant sizes and I’m in better shape now than I was pre-kids(all 3 of them). I even had to go buys new clothes(yeh!!) I love the fact that I could only do 2 “boy” push ups when I started, and now I am up to 15. Now I am addicted to both working out with his Partner Sessions (I work with 2 friends) and strength routines, and even though he kicks my butt, the results are amazing!!!! I really look forward to being challenged each week. He’s so outgoing, so you never feel awkward working out with him. If you train with him, it’ll change your whole outlook on yourself and on your life!!!

The experience itself has been amazing! Mike really takes the time to figure out what is going on with my body and tailors each treatment to my symptoms and how I’m progressing since my last visit. Mike assigns homework exercises and follows up by emailing me a detailed list of what exercises to do at home and how to do them. Mike also does a great job of explaining to me (in a way I can understand, not using medical jargon) what is causing my symptoms and what is going on with my body. I am 100% happy with the process and results that I’ve experienced at Peak Performance. As someone who hasn’t been able to lift my right arm above my head for about 5 years, the fact that I can do so with ease after only 3 months of working with Mike is pretty awesome. I’m now able to do the basic day-to-day things pain free that I had been missing out on as a result of my injury. I’m so happy I found Mike at Peak Performance and if I ever need PT in the future this is the only place I will go!

I started with Mike after a neck injury and needing a physical therapy program. My personal goal was to increase my overall strength to prevent further injury. From the beginning, Mikes’ confident, calm approach made it enjoyable to really work hard and push myself. In addition to a custom made workout, I feel Mike made it a point to continually educate me on individual exercises and their benefits. I learned a lot from Mike and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their personal best.

I completely tore the ulnar collateral ligament in my elbow during a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament. I was pretty bummed out to experience this kind of setback in my training, and wasn’t sure how long I’d be out. My doctor recommended a non-surgical treatment, so I went to see Mike. About 2 weeks post injury, my range of motion was limited and everyday tasks, like putting my hair up and opening doors, were still difficult. Jiu jitsu is a demanding sport and I felt miles away from being able to train again. After a couple weeks of working with Mike I had my full range of motion back and was working on strengthening exercises. I saw improvements every day. At my follow up appointment, my orthopedic surgeon was amazed at how well I was doing. Just a few more weeks later I was training again and my arm felt great! Now, I’m working with Mike on an exercise routine to get even stronger than I was before the injury, and it hasn’t taken long to see results. Mike not only provides excellent services as a physical therapist and a strength coach, but his friendly demeanor makes every appointment enjoyable. He has a way of making every client feel important, and always seems truly invested in his patient’s progress. I’ve never had such a positive experience with a physical therapist, and I couldn’t recommend him more!
