PEAK PERFORMANCE Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine

What PEAK PERFORMANCE Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine does

Peak Performance Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine is a privately held, founder-owned boutique physical therapy clinic operating from a single location at 2901 E Enterprise Ave, Suite 600 in Appleton, Wisconsin, serving the Appleton, Oshkosh and Green Bay areas of Northeast Wisconsin since May 2001. The clinic provides outpatient orthopedic and sports medicine physical therapy across general rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, sports and running injuries, concussion, vertigo/BPPV, frozen shoulder, pregnancy and postpartum care, plantar fasciitis, and POTS syndrome. All treatment is delivered as one-on-one, 45-minute sessions by licensed physical therapists only, with no assistants, aides, or students — a deliberate staffing model the practice uses as a primary differentiator.

The service portfolio combines conventional PT modalities with differentiated specialty programs, including video-based Running Gait Analysis priced at $160, a 10-week Running Clinic ($50 for non-patients, free for existing patients), Dry Needling, Custom Foot Orthotics, Sportsmetrics ACL injury prevention (the only certified clinic in the Fox Valley via Cincinnati Sportsmedicine), Blood Flow Restriction Rehabilitation, and BPPV/Epley maneuvers. A free 15-minute injury consultation functions as the top-of-funnel acquisition tool. Peak@Work extends the model into B2B onsite services for employers, including pre-employment screenings, ergonomic assessments, and workers compensation rehabilitation.

The business is fee-for-service, billed to insurance (Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Medicaid, UnitedHealthcare, Tricare accepted) or paid out-of-pocket, with Wisconsin's direct access statute allowing patient self-referral without physician prescription. The team comprises roughly 5 licensed physical therapists and 2 administrative staff (including a Director of Operations & Development), with 65 years of combined clinical experience and specializations spanning orthopedics, pelvic health, vestibular, dry needling, BFR, and Sportsmetrics. The company has no external investors, no parent entity, and no disclosed funding rounds.
