Dr. Andrew was great! He is extremely thorough during the session. He gave me workouts that I could do at home and he also made sure I understood how to properly do the exercises and why I should do these exercises. Everything from the time he takes with you, to the facility you get to workout in, to the price is great! Thank you Dr. Andrew for helping me rehab my knee and get me to a point of pain free and functional again! I highly recommend Dr. Andrew and his team.
I worked with Dr. Barney to treat and prevent my foot pain that was in the midst of developing into plantar fasciitis as I was preparing for my first 10k. He was very methodical and attentive. He performed a thorough analysis on my stride and how I was distributing my weight while running, after which he gave me valuable exercises and direction to improve my form and prevent injury. I will be going back for any kind of sports related aches or pains in the future!
Back pain for me was ongoing for roughly 15 years. Had tried multiple rounds and providers of traditional physical therapy, injections, x-rays, MRIs, and even consulted a surgeon. Dr Andrew listened to what my issues with lower back pain were, customized a plan to address the core issues, and 12 weeks later I am so much improved. Hope restored at age 41 that Im not living with back pain the rest of my life. Thanks Dr Andrew !
My husband, John, and I have been working with Brian Barney at Alinea Performance for several months. Last year John, at 82, suffered multiple seizures lasting 3 days. He lost a lot including strength, balance, memory and his desire socialize or to work out at the gym, which he had done faithfully all his life. After several attempts at PT with moderate improvement, we were referred to Drs. Andrew Gillihan and Brian Barney at Alinea. Here John has dramatically improved in all areas. I used to worry constantly about him falling, (because he did so regularly) never going to sleep until he did and always on high alert if he got up during the night to use the bathroom. I rarely left him home alone. Since coming to Alinea, John's strength, balance, recovery time, memory, confidence and willingness to get back to living life has soared! I no longer worry!
Brian is very creative, insightful and intuitive in working with both of us. He makes our work-outs fun but challenging, always using different exercises, equipment and experiences.
Strength and balance, for those of us experiencing aging, seems to be a huge problem! Just last week Brian asked me to do a balance activity he had introduced at the very beginning....I could hardly do it then. 2 months later, when I tried again and we were both elated that I could do it with ease! I was amazed and
delighted!
I cannot say say enough positive things about Brian and Andrew! Although I only worked once with Andrew, he is very open and willing to answer all my questions about John's and my journey and his philosophy regarding Alinea. This group is highly recommended!
You won't appreciate all my accolades unless I point out the one thing I don't like... I'm not totally looking through rose colored glasses! The building owner might want to repair the leaky roof and fix the humps in the floor.Andrew was able to help me through a dislocated kneecap and within a couple of months get me into fighting shape even with the setbacks of further injuries. Without his help my current injuries would've gotten much worse and that could've led to permanent damage. I'm glad I got to do physical therapy with Alina Performance. Thank you Andrew.
I was referred to by Dr. Godby and I had an incredible experience. I originally went for one issue, then life happened and I had what feels like a million other things go wrong. He adapted, and didn't make me feel like a burden at all. Just worked me through everything. Literally couldn't sing his praises more. Andrew is an awesome guy, incredibly knowledgeable, and insanely down to earth. Highly recommend 10/10.
Great experience with Dr. Gillian (Andrew) at Alinea Cincinnati. The physical therapy not only helped with the neck/shoulder issue I was having, but Andrew provided the education and knowledge to continue treatment on my own with instruction on specific exercises and lifting drills. He was very informative about what was likely causing my issues and the things we were going to do to improve the condition. Highly recommended for any physical therapy needs.
I had a great experience with my Osteoporosis WellCare sessions with Dr. Barney and Dr. Gillihan! They were. knowledgeable, professional, patient, kind and truly caring that I understood the information they provided and also me being able to execute the strength building exercises I learned. Highly recommended Aliena Performance for any Well Care or PT needs!
I'm very grateful to have been introduced to Andrew. I had been struggling with chronic pain that has been worsening for years now to the point it was almost unbearable. After seeing many Dr's, countless chiropractors, and multiple massage therapists with absolutely no relief, I was referred to Andrew and it has been life changing. He not only began helping my pain from the first session, but he has given me the knowledge and tools to be able to maintain a better quality of life, and a life without pain. Thank you Andrew!!
ANDREW IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PROVIDER! He educated me about my pain which is what I needed and was not getting from other providers. Andrew is a great listener and provided an individual care plan to help me reach my goals. He taught me about how medication can be helpful but strengthening and changing my way of thinking about pain is going to be more beneficial in the long term. The most useful piece of education I learned from Andrew is how much our brains play a huge part in pain. I could not be happier with the care I received from Andrew. THANK YOU!
On the first day I had a session with Andrew, after 7 months of chronic back pain, Andrew clued me in on a couple of techniques and I felt relief. It gave me hope I would one day be pain free.
I was lucky to have twice weekly sessions with him for 6 weeks and said goodbye feeling strong and excellent. I intentionally waited this long to write a review to see if his exercise regime outside of his studio, and without his coaching would keep me feeling great. I can enthusiastically say I am pain free and physically unrestricted!
Thank you Andrew, and a big thanks to Dr. Travis McCain from The Christ Hospital Group for recommending Andrew. I couldnt be more grateful to the both of them.I was having chronic lower back pain issues for quite sometime and was getting physical therapy at another location that was not helping me. I saw an add from Alinea on Facebook regarding their services and decided to try them out. I called and met Dr. Barney who has been more than great by working with me for the last 6 weeks and providing me with a physical therapy plan that has not only helped but has inspired me to get back on track with living a healthier lifestyle. I am no longer experiencing the chronic low back pain that I once had and now on maintenance therapy. I highly recommend Alinea for any body pain you may be experiencing.
I suffer from sciatica pain. I was referred to Alina by my pain management doctor. I wasnt sure about physical therapy but thought I would try it. I am a senior citizen and have been to pt before and didnt get very much relief. But Dr. Brian did a great job. I am pain free and would recommend him to anybody who needs physical therapy.
Working with Andrew Gillihan has been more than an amazing experience! I cant even put into words the inspiration he has given me to strengthen portions of my body that are needed to not feel the pain I have been in the last 7 years. I went from being told I need surgery , to understanding that it is ultimately up to us to make the decision. Make the decision today and work with Andrew and I promise you that if you put in the work, your life will dramatically change to a more manageable pain free lifestyle !!!! Thanks brother !
After another knee injury I was heading toward knee replacement. Instead of using my orthopedics pt persons I went with Dr Andrew.
Big Win. Over the last several months my knee/leg strength has improved significantly. The pain I was having is gone. All that remains is normal muscle ache from the workouts. I am able to move/function better than I have in years doing simpler exercises with less weight than I had been using.
I look forward to the many miles of outdoor wildness that is ahead of me and finishing out my career pain free. Thanks Dr. Andrew.Dr. Gillihan is professional, attentive, and thorough. He never left me wondering how or why we did a certain exercise. Plus, hes just a great human! He made very early morning PT much more bearable, and Ive come out feeling confident in my healing process. Id recommend his work to anyone in need of PT.
Hello, Im Regina, and my entire experience with Alinea Perfomane with Dr Andrew Gillihan was the best, he was very knowledgeable and courteous, and a great listener, he helped me with all my fears of getting stronger, and I truly feel I am on my way to achieving all my goals due to this process. It was truly a great experience!
I recently visited Dr. Andrew for ongoing back pain that had been troubling me for several weeks. His expertise and approach to treatment were nothing short of exceptional. Not only did he provide effective pain relief, but he also took the time to explain the cause of my pain and the steps I could take to prevent it in the future. His professional demeanor, coupled with a genuinely caring attitude, made all the difference. I highly recommend Dr. Andrew to anyone seeking relief from back pain.
Andrew is one of the best Dr I have seen for any type of muscular or joint pain. He takes the time to truly understand your pain, what movements trigger it, and accurately give you a diagnostic.
From there, he works with you to design the right series of workouts to strengthen around the root cause and eliminate the pain. For me it just took a few weeks to get rid of my months long pain. I highly recommend him if you want a robust assessment and try therapy and exercise and potentially avoid a surgery.Dr. Andrews neck program has been absolutely amazing! I had been going to a chiropractor and another PT over the last 8 years and would get some short term relief but my symptoms would always return. I had just about given up until I was referred to Dr. Andrew and he took the time to discuss what issues I was having and what was causing them in order to customize a program that has enabled me to be pain-free for the first time in almost a decade. He is truly with you every step of the way, with weekly check-ins through his app, video assessments and progress updates, along with prompt replies to my messages asking questions. I highly recommend Dr. Andrew for any of your physical therapy needs. Hes extremely knowledgeable, personable, cares about you as a person and will walk you through every step of the program in order to recover and live a pain-free life.
I started seeing Andrew 5 years after a car accident. Before seeing Andrew I would get constant migraines and muscle pain in my back and neck. The the main stream physical therapists and healthcare providers would do the same treatment options leading to no positive results or relief. After a few weeks into Alinea I have noticed significant improvement and much better quality of life. Im hopeful in my healing as I continue my treatment with Alinea with Dr Andrew Gillihan.
I was really impressed with Dr Andrew from day 1. He took my symptoms of what I was experiencing and layed out an exercise plan for me. He also explained to me the reasons why I needed to do the exercises and how to build on my progress. I would highly recommend Dr Andrew to help in your rehab program. He is very patient and knowledgeable and takes the time to make sure you fully understand the rehab program and to make sure your questions are answered.
About 6 weeks in with Alinea Performance and Dr. Gillihan - Im trilled. It feels like I am getting celebrity or pro athlete level attention to my problem areas and Im getting results.
Specifically:
Talent: Alineas folks are top notch. Take a look at the credentials. Dr. of physical therapy, advanced (NFL level) strength and conditioning certifications top shelf qualifications.
Attention: When I am with Dr. Gillihan I am THE client. I am not splitting my time with 3-4 other folks. I have 100% of his focus.
Lots of Interaction: Alinea uses an application to set-up my daily routines and targets for me and to get daily feedback on my progress. Often, I get feedback on my progress within a few hours. Dr. Gillihan reaches out often.
Results: I am making more progress on my core issues than I have in years. This has enabled me to set-up my training and fitness. As the training load has come up I have had a few new issues come up. Dr. Gillihan has been proactive about assessing those issues, adjusting my program and keeping me moving towards my goals.
For the first time in a long time I feel like I have something I can get results from!I saw an orthopedic doctor in 2020 who told me I needed a new hip. That doctor did not recommend physical therapy because that would just hyperextend my hip and cause it to be unstable. My injury is a result of college football followed by 11 years of mens club rugby and power lifting with a lot of negligence towards recovery. I dont recall any specific event that lead to my condition, but it was impacting my quality of life. I compensated over the years by depending on my left leg so much that my right leg noticeably atrophied. Last year I decided to take up rugby officiating. I have found success as a referee but I have found my progress limited by my pain and seriously contemplating a hip replacement. In the late spring 2023, a friend of mine recommended Dr. Gillihan. Upon my initial assessment, Dr Gillihan requested 3 months to work on my hip and then evaluate if surgery is for me. As of today, I am halfway through my 3 months and I can say that for the first time I can recall in the past decade, I stood up pain free. It has taken a significant effort and I still have a lot of work to do. I still have days where I have some pain but that is after excessive activity. Plus, I am feeling stronger and more stable everyday and Im looking forward to accomplishing my goals while avoiding surgery.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Andrew. He has been a true blessing in my life, helping me overcome my back problems and embark on a transformative journey towards better fitness. Andrew's unwavering support, expertise, and genuine care have made all the difference. He goes above and beyond to understand my needs, tailoring each session to my specific goals and pushing me just the right amount. I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to anyone seeking top-notch physical therapy. Trust me, you won't find a more dedicated and compassionate professional.
I was in a car accident 2 years ago and have been doing all kinds of rehab after. But after just 5 sessions with Dr.Andrew Gillihan I have never felt more confident that I will get back to where I was with my life before the accident. He pushes me to face my fears and pushes me so I can get back to where I want to be. I highly recommend him for anyone, but most of all, I recommend him to help you accomplish things you never thought possible.
Andrew has been fantastic to work with as Ive been recovering from a hamstring injury. He explains the reasoning and science behind his approach for everything he asks you to do both at home and in the gym, at a great level of detail so that you really understand what is happening with your body during the recovery process. He is extremely patient and understanding, I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with an injury.
I was suffering from Pelvic floor dysfunction, a lonely, painful chronic condition. I was misdiagnosed multiple times, thrown on antibiotics twice, and no one I spoke to understood the physical and psychological pain this chronic condition causes. It was one of the worst periods of my life.
Cut to my first session with Andrew about three and a half months ago. He was the first person I spoke to who understood what I was going through. We immediately went through behavioral changes for me to make, along with PT exercises and stretches that gave me immediate relief. He also helped me deal with the psychological aspects of chronic pain. He encouraged me to keep working out and training jiu-jitsu, even if I didn't feel like it (albeit at a much lower intensity), which helped me tremendously.
Now, after a few months of treatment, I am 80%-90% better, the pain is substantially down, I'm lifting hard and heavy, and training jiu-jitsu with the same intensity I used to.
If you're a male with pelvic issues, it can be taboo to talk about or address, but don't suffer silently, call Andrew! He is a pioneer in this field, and I couldn't have a higher recommendation.Dr. Andrew Gilihan is an absolutely wonderful physical therapist. He is passionate and thoughtful about his patient care, and able to communicate effectively to work toward goals and significantly improved outcomes. I am physical therapist myself- Andrew has been working with my father to improve functional mobility, strength, and balance/ fall prevention- and I cannot recommend him enough as a physical therapist for any issue!
Dr. Gillihan saw my son following multiple hamstring strains and knee pain from playing high school sports. The Doc was able to get my son back to playing football within weeks when he had been attending another local PT clinic for months. Dr. Gillihan did a phenomenal job getting him back to lifting weights, running, and overall making him feel more confident in his ability to return to sports. I would highly recommend Alinea Performance to anyone with a sports injury or looking to have their child get back to playing sports at a high level.
Dr Andrew was quick to respond when I initially contacted him. He was quick to see me and very helpful in assessing my situation. I pulled my hamstring. He also was very helpful with daughter. He set me up with an app I can follow at home to do the exercises to rehab my leg. I have definitely gotten stronger and had improvement in my leg. He is super nice and I would definitely recommend.
Ive had a fantastic treatment experience with Andrew. He does a great job explaining the reasoning and science behind the treatment, and has always been helpful and encouraging. Im also a jiu jitsu athlete, and I appreciate that he also practices the sport and knows what goes into it, and has tailored my treatment with jiu jitsu in mind. Its been a great experience, would definitely recommend!
Andrew has been amazing to work with my son who has been dealing with a lower back sports injury for over a year. After soooooooo many doctors, PTs we have finally found someone to help our son. Dr. Gilihan has went above and beyond to help my son both physically and more importantly mentally. As a very active teenager whos whole identity was sports/working out this injury has taken a toll on my sons mental state and our family dynamic. When my son was having a hard time dealing with his emotions Andrew would be available via a zoom call after hours/or answer multiple texts to ease his mind. Highly recommend Andrew as he helps/supports the patient as a whole!
I am happy to write this review and testimony for Dr. Andrew Gillihan, who has been an exceptional healthcare provider in my journey towards healing from pelvic floor dysfunction. After having undergone multiple major surgeries, I was left with pelvic floor dysfunction, which caused significant discomfort and chronic pain.
Dr. Gillihan stood out to me because of his specialized focus of men's pelvic floor rehabilitation, and from my first consultation with him, I knew I was in excellent hands. He has a vast knowledge of pelvic floor function and rehabilitation that is nothing less than impressive. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the process of my treatment as well as additional support options.
Throughout my rehab, Dr. Gillihan has been supportive, compassionate, and attentive. He made me feel comfortable and safe, which is essential when dealing with such a sensitive issue. He provided personalized treatment plans that addressed my specific needs and worked with me to develop a plan that was both effective and manageable.
Dr. Gillihan's expertise in men's pelvic floor rehabilitation has helped me to make progress in my recovery that I don't believe I would have found elsewhere. I am now able to perform activities that I was not able to do before, and I feel much more confident that my body is on the right path to recovery. His ongoing support and encouragement have been instrumental in my unique healing journey.
Overall, I cannot recommend Dr. Gillihan highly enough. His dedication to his patients' functional wellness is evident in everything he does, and I am incredibly grateful to have him as my healthcare provider.
If you are looking for a skilled, compassionate, and knowledgeable men's pelvic floor rehabilitation specialist, Dr. Gillihan is the one to partner with.I'm an older adult who has had lumbar back pain for approximately a year. I've had PT at two places prior to seeing Dr. Gillihan at Alinea and I highly recommend Dr. Gillihan! The therapy program he recommends is not a cookie cutter approach; it's highly individualized. Dr. Gillihan utilizes the Power 3 adjoining gym as part of the therapy process. The access to the gym means I can work on lessening my pain and focus on getting stronger which is one of my main goals. Dr. Gillihan knows how to progress and push you to empower you without aggravating the pain. He is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and psychology, and he won't settle for letting you be a victim to your pain which is one of the things I most appreciate about him. He is an honest and compassionate therapist and I enjoy my therapy time with him. He listens to what I have to say and I think I have a great partner in Dr. Gillihan. I plan on asking my primary care doctor to consider referring all his patients to Dr. Gillihan at Alinea.
Dr. Andrew is absolutely amazing. I have been going to him for over a month now. I cannot express how fantastic he has been to work with. He is extremely professional, passionate, smart, and most of all, he cares. He is so helpful and knowledgeable in every aspect of Physical Therapy and Training.
I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.I worked with Andrew for the past 6 or 7 months rehabbing my foot. I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis before working with him and for the past 6-7 months, we've worked together to reach a point where I'm pain-free and feel like I've taken control of my fitness again. What I love the most about Andrew is he meets you where you are, and it's not his way or the highway. I've got a full time job and a newborn, and he worked with my life circumstances to adjust my program as needed. And even with my full schedule, I saw great results working with him. For anyone dealing with a nagging pain or injury forcing you to modify your activities, I encourage you to reach out to Andrew and Alinea to see if they can help you. I can say firsthand, they will only work with you if they truly feel like they can make a difference.
Seeing Dr. Andrew work on my left elbow/arm issues has been a positive experience overall. When I started seeing him, I could either not do or getting limited in what I can perform in the physical activities I enjoy doing like martial arts training, weight lifting and yoga. After several sessions, we already achieved great progress and continue in doing so. Before I met Dr. Andrew, I went to a couple of other specialists around Cincinnati that both concluded that my only option is go into surgery and since I don't want any major downtime, I just let the situation be but I noticed that my condition is getting worse overtime. Thankfully, I consulted with Dr. Andrew who showed me what's possible without necessarily going into an invasive surgery procedure. The approach will need me be fully committed to consistently perform recommended actions not only during our onsite sessions but more importantly outside of it over a period of time. That's something I can totally live with -- I get to still do things I love to do outside without any major downtime while seeing continuous improvements with my left arm condition. Highly recommended!
Andrew is amazing to work with! He really helps you understand why the pain is there and guides you through tailored programs to help reach the goals you have in mind. No pre-planned templates to throw at you. He really does his research and makes the exercises meaningful and impactful. I couldnt recommend Andrew enough. Hes helped me through many injuries with workouts Ive never even thought of trying.
Andrew has been a great help to all my athletes at my gym Limitless Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Fitness. Anytime anyone is dealing with an Injury he immediately helps them and gives them great paths to recovery. He is extremely passionate and educated about his work.
He is the only PT in town I recommend you see!Andrew is my go to when I mess myself up! Being pretty active and somewhat injury prone I tend to keep him busy and on his toes when it comes to injuries and the guy always helps me bounce back. If youre looking to get back to doing what you love, go see Andrew and hell have you on the path back before you know it.
Hes super knowledgable and puts together a plan with actionable goals to recovery. Hes changing the face of PT.I had been having lower back pain/tightness while doing squats and deadlifts and I decided to go see Dr. Gillihan. Andrew was thorough in his diagnosis and developed a plan to help alleviate my pain and simultaneously improve the weaknesses that caused it in the first place. If youre serious about healing and getting stronger than Id highly recommend Dr. Gillihan for any of your health and physical therapy needs.
As someone who carries most of my stress in my neck and shoulders, I have seen many physical therapists, doctors, and massage therapists, hoping for pain relief. After little to no success, I consulted Dr. Andrew from Alinea Performance for help. He listened as I explained the issues I was experiencing and considered what steps would be most effective. Dr. Andrew was able to get my muscles to loosen up so that I could regain the movement in my shoulder. He has spent many years studying every aspect of physical health. Dr. Andrew is dedicated to helping people regain and maintain their mobility. Working with his patients to build a plan they can follow and resume the enjoyment of life is his first priority. I would recommend Alinea Performance to anyone searching for the best solution in the pursuit of great health.
Andrew has helped several of my clients whove had shoulder and back pain get back to doing group fitness, something my clients love to do. Andrew and I share a common belief that pain should not cause you to give up the things you enjoy. Together, physical therapists like Andrew and personal trainers like myself should encourage clients to seek physical therapy so that exercise doesnt have to be given up! Andrew helps my clients continue training, even if we have to modify a little temporarily.
Andrew has helped me with not only physically training and nutrition, but therapy from foot/leg injuries. I went in to receive help and Andrew didnt immediately jump to conclusions of what he thought it was. He took time to ask questions about my daily life and understand what Ive been doing recently out of my normal schedule. With this information he provided me stretches and exercises to strengthen those injured parts, but also the rest of my body to prevent any future injuries as a whole. I appreciated that with each individual exercise he recommended, he explained why. He explained to me what that exercise will do medically, but also provided an explanation with every day terminology for complete understanding. With all of the great things listed above, I am pleased to say all of my injuries have fully recovered and I am still continuing to exercise and eat following Andrews recommendations BECAUSE THEY WORK!
Andrew was incredibly helpful in assessing some lingering issues I was having. After the physical assessment, Andrew programed training for me to work on throughout the week. We then met again weeks later; where I provided feedback on how the movements felt, etc. Andrew then adjusted my programming where he saw fit to best help me reach my goal of being more functional with less pain in my daily life. I HIGHLY recommend giving Alinea Performance a chance.

I would like to thank Brian for all the help he gave me. I was trying out another plan and not getting the results I wanted. I had patella pain. Brian had me back off a bit and do some strength training. I believe this made the difference in me getting to the start line. I think having someone who I could bounce my ideas off helped me feel confident that I could do it.

For the past month & 1/2, I have been attending PT W/both Dr. Andrew & Dr. Brian. I can’t say enough about how professional & great they are with the therapy I have been given & taught to do. My cervical spine pain has resolved to just a sensitivity & motion is almost fully restored, & also mostly pain free. They understand pain difficulties of daily life & both strive to undo the causation w/daily terms that you can understand & perform. “Highly recommend” for all that need PT w/one on one care. Thank you, Bren Jarvis

I recommend Dr Andrew Gillihan. Why?
As a PT he did what you would expect: diagnosed problem(s), developed, communicated and executed plan(s) to restore functionality. In addition, he really listened to my concerns, adapted treatment(s) according to my needs and was concerned for my TOTAL well being. I still benefit from his advice, both physically and mentally on a daily basis.I never had thought about all the small details of my fitness or my health. Sleeping, water intake and macro’s are something I never tracked. It was great to be introduced to them slowly without overwhelming me with everything. The workouts are difficult and I do feel like I am being pushed harder every week and I am not getting bored with the same workouts every week.
Andrew Gillihan has helped keep my career on track when pain was derailing me. Roughly a year ago, I was having a hard time going up and down stairs, let alone meeting the intense physical demands of my job. After just a few months of working together, Andrew helped me recover enough to successfully complete Ranger School. Since graduating, Andrew and I have been working together again non-stop and I’ve made serious progress. Andrew really goes above and beyond. He has worked around my inconvenient schedule and other challenges that the military has put in front of me. Andrew is an excellent educator. He has explained to me the healing process. By doing so, I have been able to better understand where I am at, where I am going, and how long it may take to get there. I am truly thankful that our paths have crossed.
Dr. Gillihan has been great to work with over the past few months. Running has always been difficult for me and would cause severe pain in my shins. Since working with Alinea and implementing their programming, running is actually becoming enjoyable. And the best part is there is no more severe pain in my shins. Highly recommend!
Had full hip replacement surgery, finished therapy sooner than scheduled because of the one on one care. Unlike many therapy centers, Andrew focuses on you alone, with a more personal treatment session based solely on you, your progress helping you full range on motion, strength and stability.
Andrew is a very knowledgeable , practical and thorough PT. He takes the time to understand your issues, goals and lifestyle/sport and provides much more than just one size fits all routines. The facility that be operates out of us very nice and has everything that you could want in terms of equipment. Would highly reccomend!
Dr. Andrew is fantastic! I had been suffering from debilitating lower back pain which was keeping me from doing all the fun things I like to do – family time, Jiu-Jitsu, Gym, etc. In just a few weeks, I've gotten back onto the mats and have a path forward on strengthening my core / lower back. I appreciate it.
Dr. Gillihan saw my son following multiple hamstring strains and knee pain from playing high school sports. The Doc was able to get my son back to playing football within weeks when he had been attending another local PT clinic for months. Dr. Gillihan did a phenomenal job getting him back to lifting weights, running, and overall making him feel more confident in his ability to return to sports. I would highly recommend Alinea Performance to anyone with a sports injury or looking to have their child get back to playing sports at a high level.
I injured my neck while working hundreds of miles away from Alinea Performance. I was able to phone Andrew within minutes following injury. He was able to walk me through the necessary next steps to ensure a swift recovery.
Knowledge: 5/5
Availability: 5/5
Desire to work with you and get results: 5/5Dr. Gillihan is a world-class PT. I'm an aspiring fighter and former competitive strongman who suffered a severe work-related neck injury years ago, which means I had plenty of lingering issues keeping me in pain and preventing me from performing at my best.
The first day I went to see him Andrew diagnosed a simple but major problem with my hip that three other PTs had missed. He gave me a simple, actionable plan to work on it and two months later the difference is massive. We started working on my neck only recently and I'm seeing big results there as well. Life-changing differences in a couple of months and I'm looking forward to smashing people pain-free as we progress. Andrew's knowledge of human anatomy and how it works/moves is huge. He loves his work, he's compassionate, he listens, and he's the type of person who's always looking to learn and improve even past his doctorate. He's everything you want in a PT and I'd recommend him to anyone.Andrew has been great in addressing my lower back issue. More importantly his primary focus continues to be me as a whole addressing my overall fitness, comfort and mind set. If you are in need of a PT for a whole body approach, I would not hesitate to tell you to contact him. Your body will thank you
Dr Gillihan has been treating my elbow injury for the past 3 weeks. His comprehensive plan and therapy has my elbow virtually pair free and I am excited to get back to working out again. He has laser focus on the treatment area and walks me through how to properly do not only the physical therapy but how to properly do my entire workout routine so I get more effective results! Thanks Doc!
Andrew worked with my 16 year old daughter. After a few visits she was already noticing a difference in her ankle. She had been to several orthopedics and physical therapist to get relief with no success. Andrew’s approach was different. Although she was still working through an injury, Andrew put her through workouts. Other places were typical PT..and wanted her to rest and limit activities. I am so glad we found Andrew and will continue to use him. I would highly recommend him!
I first met Andrew at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), we chatted and learned he was a Physical Therapist.
I experienced a shoulder injury while practicing BJJ. Decided to do the whole “self-diagnose and YouTube” type of rehab. While I noted some improvement. It wasn’t where I wanted to be. I got into swimming (silly me) and exacerbated my shoulder injury again. That’s when I reached out to Andrew.
I’ve been working with Andrew since late December of 2022 and work with him to present day; with plans to continue working with him. My shoulder feels much better, I have gained more strength, my physique is looking great and now I’m slowly transitioning away from physical therapy to my shoulder/s (my injured shoulder had instabilities while my other shoulder was just weak). And transitioning into physical training to get back into running and ultimate frisbee.
I feel comfort and confidence in Andrews’ skills, knowledge and capabilities. He’s not only a Physical Therapist but he’s also like a friend. He’s there for you to answer any questions you have, he’s passionate about his craft and is continuously seeking knowledge (for the academics out there - he’s got his Doctorates in this). You won’t go wrong or regret your decision by reaching out to him. Good luck on your journey - you’re in a good hands.Dr. Andrew is a game-changer in the world of PT. I have had back pain for YEARS and have focused mainly on stretching or in office treatments (stem, dry-needling, massage) - with little to no progress. With Andrew, we focus on strengthening very specific muscle groups and getting back to those daily activities that are actually part of my day-to-day life. Within weeks, I feel like a new woman and can actually chase after my 2 toddlers! His approach is data-based, science-backed and most importantly, practical. I always leave there a bit sweaty, a bit stronger than the previous session, motivated to keep putting in the work, and with a smile on my face. I highly recommend Dr. Andrew!
