Dr. Andrew was an enormous help in helping me reduce and manage my lower back pain as I returned to activity. He started me at 0 with functional movements, focusing on getting my pain to a manageable level. Past that, he instructed me on a set of exercises to build up strength and endurance to reduce pain long-term. I appreciated how he was responsive and adjusted my program when I had setbacks, and that he gave excellent feedback on exercise form. He encouraged moving appropriately without overthinking movements, which was very helpful. I'd absolutely recommend anyone with back pain to give Dr. Andrew and Alinea a shot- they're not kidding when they say it's a different take on physical therapy.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr. Andrew Gillihan for six weeks, and I highly recommend Alinea for anyone seeking physical therapy. Dr. Godby at Christ referred me to Andrew based on my mid-back issues, emphasizing that he would be a great fit for me.
Having done physical therapy at other places, I can confidently say that working with Andrew was the best experience I've had. Scheduling appointments was a breeze; his flexible hours accommodated my schedule, and he communicated promptly regarding any changes.
Every session was one-on-one, and I truly appreciated having his undivided attention throughout. Andrew took the time to thoroughly explain my back issues and helped me understand what contributed to my discomfort. It was reassuring to have such comprehensive support.
He also ensured I understood the exercises we were doing, making the entire process feel collaborative and tailored to my needs. Overall, my experience with Dr. Gillihan was exceptional, and I’m grateful for the care I received.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 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
Met Andrew through my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym, and he has been great helping me work on some of the issues I am having with my body as I continue to do a demanding sport. Really appreciate his knowledge of recovery and hope to keep working with him and game plan as I make this journey. Thank you.
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.
About 6 weeks in with Alinea Performance and Dr. Gillihan - I’m trilled. It feels like I am getting celebrity or pro athlete level attention to my problem areas – and I’m getting results.
Specifically:
Talent: Alinea’s 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!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!
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
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.
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.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.
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!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 you’re serious about healing and getting stronger than I’d highly recommend Dr. Gillihan for any of your health and physical therapy needs.
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 men’s club rugby and power lifting with a lot of negligence towards recovery. I don’t 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 I’m looking forward to accomplishing my goals while avoiding surgery.
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!
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!
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 didn’t immediately jump to conclusions of what he thought it was. He took time to ask questions about my daily life and understand what I’ve 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 Andrew’s recommendations BECAUSE THEY WORK!
Dr. 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 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 couldn’t recommend Andrew enough. He’s helped me through many injuries with workouts I’ve never even thought of trying.
Dr. Andrew is the real deal in PT, and exemplifies a no bullshit kind of mindset that is rare to find in the world of healthcare nowadays. He is extremely knowledgable, patient, and professional. I have approached him a number of times over the past few years with various aches and pains, and even with fitness advice around mobility limitations I have been experiencing. As other reviews stated, he definitely tailors his advice specific to you rather than some generic template. I couldn’t recommend him more for your PT needs!
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!
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 has helped several of my clients who’ve 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 doesn’t have to be given up! Andrew helps my clients continue training, even if we have to modify a little temporarily.
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 suffer from sciatica pain. I was referred to Alina by my pain management doctor. I wasn’t sure about physical therapy but thought I would try it. I am a senior citizen and have been to pt before and didn’t 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.
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.
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.
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. I’m hopeful in my healing as I continue my treatment with Alinea with Dr Andrew Gillihan.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.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.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.
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 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!
Andrew has been fantastic to work with as I’ve 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'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!!
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!
Dr. Andrew’s 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. He’s 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.
Dr. Gillihan is professional, attentive, and thorough. He never left me wondering how or why we did a certain exercise. Plus, he’s just a great human! He made very early morning PT much more bearable, and I’ve come out feeling confident in my healing process. I’d recommend his work to anyone in need of PT.
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 couldn’t be more grateful to the both of them.Working with Andrew Gillihan has been more than an amazing experience! I can’t 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 !
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.
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!
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 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!
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.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 I’m not living with back pain the rest of my life. Thanks Dr Andrew !
Awesome Facility and Dr. Andrew Gillihan was PHENOMENAL His genuine compassion coupled with his expertise was the perfect mix for combating my lower back pain after an auto accident. I would Highly recommend Alinea Performance to anyone in need of a Physical Therapist that truly GETS THE JOB DONE! Thank you Dr Gillihan.
My dad sees Dr. Gillihan, for chronic back hip and knee issues. He has made phenomenal progress with him. He is able to participate in activities that he thought he would have to give up. He has significantly improved his life. He says his approach is very different than any other physical therapy approach. He looks forward to a more normal life.
The department found Alinea Performance to provide physical therapy for the fire department members to increase their overall health and wellness. Doc Andrew has been working with our members on injury prevention, injury recovery and movement education. He has provided numerous opportunities to our members to improve themselves and conduct the job of firefighting in better ways.
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.
After living in near-constant pain for 20+ years from a neck injury I am finally living pain free. I’ve seen countless orthopedic doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists and been prescribed muscle relaxers, steroids, and more. They were all either ineffective or covered up the symptoms temporarily. Dr. Gillihan was the first time anyone actually took the time to listen to me, figure out what the problem is and actually explain it to me, then work consistently with me to achieve my goals. I never thought I could get to this level of comfort or go this long without pain. It’s been life changing and I cannot recommend his services enough.
Alinea Performance offers expert, personalized physical therapy. Dr. Paige Dewitt gave me one-on-one attention that provided me with relief and (important to me) knowledge and education about my condition so that I could learn to control it. She is personable and always available to help. I highly recommend Alinea.
Complaining of multiple back problems at 77 years old, I checked in to Alinea and Dr. Barney with high hope but, the depressing reality of not being able to participate in my favorite sport - tennis, nor a number of other physically demanding activities. Through caring counsel and a rigorous program of physical therapy I have returned to those activities and avoided the projected need, by a local medical authority, of spinal fusion. I can't find sufficient superlatives to full describe the results I've enjoyed from the treatment and hard work prescribed at Alinea.
Dr. Paige DeWitt was the answer to my back problems and general muscle atrophy. She intelligently chose exercises designed for my individual needs. Her recommendations were anything but boilerplate. Her knowledge of the human anatomy is unsurpassed. This combined with her professionalism make her an integral part of Alinea Performance. My experience there was not only pleasant but also incredibly valuable.
Myron KoenigI was referred to Andrew by a friend due to continued pain following surgery and rehab at another facility. During my initial evaluation, it was determined that my pain was due to ongoing weakness (despite having completed rehab elsewhere). Working with Andrew, he created a treatment plan to meet my specific needs to decrease my pain through strengthening.
It's great to have a provider who listens to your concerns, provides feedback (with thorough explanations), and alters your plan as needed based on your individual response. I will recommend Andrew and his team to anyone in need of physical therapy services.I'm a personal trainer that's been working in the fitness industry since 2017. I've interacted with many medical professionals over that time either for my own treatment or referring clients.
My typical experience going to a medical provider is being treated like information on a chart and max a 10 minute conversation without even looking me in the eyes.
That would NEVER be the case at Alinea. They treat PEOPLE.
Doctor Andrew creates a welcoming environment that is all about you. He implements the many methods from his vast knowledge base to treat his patients all while providing invaluable education so that patients understand and are also able to help themselves and avoid pain or injury in the future.
Dr. Andrew has also formed an incredible team of therapists that all care about their patients deeply.
If you need help, this is the place to go!
This is by FAR the best medical practice I have ever received treatment.I am so fortunate to have Dr. Brian Barney take me through my physical therapy routines. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and an excellent instructor in getting me through my therapy. Brian provided me with videos on my phone so that I could practice the routines he taught me. I am so very grateful to have been helped with such a pleasant person and truly helpful person. His future clients can look forward to the marvelous help from this man.
LizAlinea Performance provides exactly the type of high quality service and care I was looking for. As I recover from rotator cuff and bicep surgery. Dr. Brian Barney utilizes the perfect balance of traditional and cutting edge techniques. To help me recover from my injuries. I feel comfortable asking any questions that I might have. Because I know that at Alinea Performance the staff is knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Brian provides me high quality personalized care. I am more than confident that I will reach all my recovery goals.
Thank You, Alinea Performance.Never before have I been excited to leave a review for any company, business, etc. Alinea Performance quite literally changed my life.
I herniated a disc in my low back about 7 years ago deadlifting, and had seen many doctors, massage therapists, and physical therapists to try and help, but nothing created long term change. I love to lift heavy, but I never knew how to transition from my doctors back to lifting heavy. And I would almost always end up just hurting myself again.
The pain became so great, that not only was it keeping me from lifting, but I would be trying to stretch out the pain all day while at work, and ended up having ti leave work a few times because of it which was miserable.
Enter Alinea Performance and Andrew. The very first visit I had, Andrew was able to GREATLY alleviate my pain and cause emotional release (emotions I didn't even know I was carrying) WITHOUT EVER EVEN LAYING HANDS ON ME. He simply gave me helpful breathing queues and put me through a few exercises, and I felt immediate relief.
Over the next few weeks/couple of months, Andrew gave me the tools and knowledge to 1) fix my low back pain and constant stress it created and 2) get me back to lifting heavy. Words cannot describe what that means to me and how valuable that is. I can do the things I love again, and most of all, work all day without lower back pain and having to stop and stretch in the middle of the work day.
Andrew and Alinea gave me a big part of my life back, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone in physical pain.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. Brian Barney at Alinea for 2 months on a very bad case of plantar fasciitus and knee pain. He was great at listening to me explain my symptoms and goals. Even better, he provided me with the PT guidance to alleviate my symptoms and get better. I'm not totally 100% yet, but SO much better. At age 70, I know it takes time and there aren't any permanent solutions, but Brian has me on the right path. I won't be running any marathons--thank god--but can continue my fitness regime including specific exercises and my favorite activities including bicycling, swimming, and resistance training. I'd recommend him to anyone.
I just had the best physical in years. My Doctor said no blood pressure or Cholesterol problems. My blood work was fabulous, thyroid right on track, liver and kidney numbers are fabulous. BMI is 23!!! Weight 160 which is great for being 5 ft 9 inches. Told me to keep doing what I'm doing and not to change 🙃 🙂 he said quitting my job and lowering my stress was probably the best thing I could have done for my health and wellness. Thank you Josh for being my trainer from Jan thru March and then getting me started on Bridge as well for April, May and June. I really appreciate all you assistance and support. Lynn Caplinger
I’ve been doing a 3 month virtual rehab program with Alinea. For the last month my shoulder pain has been significantly reduced. The app is so easy to use with the daily workouts, adding notes, and communicating with your PT! It’s also really nice to have video examples of some of the workouts, that way you know exactly what you need to do. I do CrossFit about 5 days a week so I’m doing a lot of high intensity volume movements with barbells, overhead work and gymnastics. Unfortunately I neglect the small stuff like warming up when I should, but know I have plenty of workouts/warms ups that I can use in my daily WOD. Can’t wait to finish out these next two months.
In May 2021 I began suffering from pain in my upper and lower back. Went to my PCP, had an MRI w/o contrast and was treated for muscle spasms. Tried 5 different meds to no avail. As time elapsed my pain became excruciating and went to a Spine Specialist. He took an XR and recommended more medications and a steroid injection. This also produced no results. After 4 visits and finally an MRI with an w/out contrast in November 2021 and I was diagnosed with 5 Thoracic Compression Fractures and 1 Lumbar Fracture and severe Bone Marrow Edema. By this time, I had been to a Pain Management Dr. Had been in and out of Emergency Rooms and treated with pills as strong as Oxycodone and vein administered Morphine. I dragged my left leg and could barely walk a few feet. Our grandson who is an out of State P. T. did some research for me of Physical Therapists I could visit. Prior to working with Josh, I had been to several different therapists and providers for the better part of 2 years with no success. I met Dr. Walters while participating in PT at a previous clinic where we had been making progress with my lumbar and thoracic pain. We continued treatment through December of 2022 when Dr. Walters decided to go out on his own and begin his own practice. In the course of time, I needed to return to physical therapy for new issues regarding my spine and my knee. I returned to Dr. Walters in February 2023 at his new location and resumed our treatments. As expected, I've recovered my independence and am working on treatments to better manage my back and knee pain. I have a found a wonderful Doctor of Physical Therapy and trust that he will continue to be the provider of choice for my PT.
I am writing this review on behalf of my husband Eugenio Rodríguez. He is a Parkinson's patient who also suffered a serious Acetabulum fracture (called the ball and socket joint). His fracture was a comminuted fracture (fractures into numerous pieces). It was counterproductive to submit him to a surgery due to this, as well as age and multiple health conditions.
He had been going to a well-known Physical Therapy Group in Ft. Worth, TX for both health issues with no evident results. After discussing the situation with Dr. Joshua Walters, he welcomed my husband and took over the challenge. I must emphasize that Dr. Walters is a PT, DPT a Sports Therapist and a Dry Needling Certified Therapist. His is definitely a well-rounded professional. He immediately prepared a therapy program for him including his gait and balance as well as his severe pain issues due to the bone-on-bone ailment caused by his Acetabular Fracture.
In less than 2 weeks his improvement was evident. Less pain and stiffness and more gait and balance. Now 2 years down the line, we have had several ups and downs and challenges. Through it all, Eugenio has made progress and limited most of his Parkinson's Disease symptoms. His walking pattern has improved considerably and his balance has been more steady. Dr. Walters has been a great help for him emotionally as well. He is reassured, more confident and more energetic while in PT. We could tell a big difference when we had to stop his PT.
Both my husband and I cannot express in words how blessed we are that he is under Dr. Walters' care. This physically big man, who is a Weight Lifter, is also BIG in empathy, care and concern for his patients. Eugenio is doing boxing for his gait and balance and they have SOOO fun! I must add a plus: My husband is not fluent in English and they understand each other wonderfully. Joshua is polishing his Spanish and Eugenio his English!I came to Josh with hip problems that were so bad I could not squat at all. I’m a power lifter so squatting is kinda what I do. I was a few weeks out from a meet and my pain continued to increase now going down by left leg and up my back. Deadlifts and bench were now out of question as well. After a few weeks with Josh I slowly saw my body recovering and absolutely crushed my meet breaking both the bench and deadlift state record. He is great at what he does and believed I could recover even after others told me I would have to stop powerlifting. He pushed me from one of my lowest points were even I thought I would have to stop lifting and brought me to the top to shine bright. I will forever be grateful to Josh and his tee-shirt worthy quotes.
Let me first say the Doc Walters is an upstanding man, who deeply cares about his patients and their lives.
He is a patient man who will work diligently to help you accomplish a better life.
For me, I started seeing him due to a wreck. In the past couple of months I have seen my body flex and move in ways that I thought was impossible. He even has helped advise me with minor issues in other joints and muscles.
Doc Walters is worth every dime! Go see him!I went to Josh for hip problems, and wanting to get back to the things I was doing in the gym previously. He has helped me tremendously by giving me more knowledge on how to decrease my pain, and showing me new things that were beneficial for my case. He’s the best ever, and really cares about his patients and their successes.
Dr Josh is fantastic. He assesses you thoroughly, and is very upfront about your condition, needs, and potential for improvement. He doesn't make empty promises or sell you on anything that doesn't work.
He has a holistic perspective, considering not just bones, joints and muscles, but your lifestyle, stressors, and resources. He can explain how different factors affect your condition, good or bad.
He then teaches you the exercises and gives you the tools you need to manage your condition after you stop seeing him. Since I finished my treatments with him, I have come up with more exercises, using what he taught me, that also help and are now part of my regimen.Dr.Walters is phenomenal at what he does. He is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and has consistently brought me back from serious injuries that take me out of the gym for days to sometimes months. Recently I had a lower back injury that was devastating for me. I went from deadlifting 500+ pounds for reps, to not being able to pants on without pain. In a matter of 3 months, he has brought me back to where I used to be. That wouldn’t have happened without his guidance. Whether you’re looking for a PT for general health, or for sports specific injuries, Dr.Walters is the man for the job.
I tore my bicep tendon march 2nd. After surgery March 21st we started soft tissue work two weeks later, and progressed rehab over the last 4 months. Josh is a very thoughtful and skilled PT. We have had a very constructive back and forth over the process and gaining growth and achieving goals. Today August 8th I was able to deadlift with a mixed grip pain free
Will is so detailed, and informative. I always left an appointment with more knowledge about how my body works and what it needs. He has helped me through injury and with just improving myself for the lifestyle I like to lead. If you are an athlete and want to stay an athlete for a long time, this is the PT you need. For injury healing or prevention. Loading and understanding goes a long way!
I have been in severe pain due to a bulging disc in my C5 which is also pinching a nerve in my neck. I was heavily leaning toward surgery when I was referred to Dr. Will. Over the past few months he and his staff have gone to great lengths to help correct my bad habits that led to my injury. They have helped me build better habits to keep myself injury and pain free. He has set me up for a future I wasn’t sure I could have and I couldn’t be more thankful.
I started seeking help from William after having my first child. I had fully immersed myself into a full-time caretaking lifestyle that resulted in me completely abandoning myself.
I had forgotten my own needs and didn’t know how to go about caring for myself. I knew everything that there was to know about my child, but I had lost myself during the process. Everything in my body felt both unusual and unfamiliar territory. Even the act of walking had become an unsure, vague activity for me. My movement enthused, pain-free life prior to having a child felt nothing but a mere dream that belonged to another person.
Working with William for my daily functional needs has helped me regain stability and a strong sense of confidence in knowing that I am able to uncover everything I once knew before, and gradually work towards doing it all better. I now have mental ease with a locked-in focus towards my physical health without the mental fatigue of not knowing where to begin. Each session brings me closer to a better understanding of how I use my body. My appreciation has grown for physical therapy as it has shown me more of the body’s intricate connections.
Prior to meeting William, I was not able to feel the full effects of lower body exercises such as squats and deadlifts. Fully firing my glutes and keeping constant tension throughout exercises felt like a shot in the dark. Now after working with William, I am able to better cue myself within these complex movements and restore much more function to my hip, knee, ankle, and foot stability.
It has been a pleasure to work with William and his staff members thus far. He is punctual and is always ready for me at the door. He listens patiently and generously answers my web of questions as they come. His exercise demonstrations are clear, and his 1:1 personal training are both timely and respectful.
William is curious, intelligent, adaptive, professional, focused, determined, and meticulous with his approach to healing and restoring a full-functioning body for his clients. His methods spell out depth and are specially curated for each individual. I have complete trust in his practice and have come to find immense value in a well-rounded, professionally trained coach.
Thank you for your close attention to my needs and worries. You’ve been a gentleman to work with. The work has been both humbling and intimate. Thank you for helping me step further into my evolution. You are a change that I am thrilled to have taken part of.Had quite a bit of trouble with back issues. Have seen multiple chiropractors, Drs, and PTs. Will and his team were able to help me through the pain. They didn’t stop there though. They analyzed my movements from the way I pick things up and even down to the way I walked to help strengthen muscles and form new movement habits to prevent recurrence of back issues. This is not your everyday PT, these guys are looking to make your life better for the long term.
Pain free! I had been treated for plantar fasciitis at the two largest physical therapy providers in Baton Rouge for 6 months, and the treatments initially helped, but then stopped working. I knew something was different, but the PTs kept telling me to keep doing the same treatment. I used up my insurance allowance and eventually gave up on PT. I tried everything after that: modifying, walking, gritting through it, resting, new shoes, stretching all the time, etc. I finally realized that I needed to try again and up my game by seeing a concierge PT. I saw Dr. Saunier at Alinea Baton Rouge. He immediately diagnosed that it was a nerve issue affecting my feet. The problem was fixed in only SIX VISITS! I am kicking myself that I didn't see him sooner. Each visit was a solid hour of one-on-one time for PT treatment, learning the follow-up moves to work on at home, plus he taught me better form and technique for specific gym activities, like box jumps - - things I was elated that I could finally do again!
I had been battling lower back pain on and off for months. I finally decided to do something about it and couldn’t be happier with my decision. Will took the time to listen to the different circumstances that caused flare ups. He did a full assessment, and helped me realize that some of my pain wasn’t stemming from my back, but weaknesses in other muscles. The exercises he has given have helped tremendously and I look forward to continuing to work with him towards a full recovery and a strengthened body!
I have been working with Will now for a few months! When I first saw him I had severe pain in my hip flexor. It hurt to sleep, walk, and even drive. After rehabbing my hip the last few months, I am now starting to train hard again and do things that I had stopped such as squat, run, jump etc. Will is always wondering how I am doing and making sure I’m doing the right thing to stay healthy! If anyone has any problems they should come see Will because he will get you straight and healthy so you can do the things you love!
After 6 months of chronic back pain, stimming from a deadlift injury, I could not walk, lay down, sit down, touch my toes, or really do anything without tremendous discomfort. In March I decided to work with Dr. Mills. He took time to evaluate me initially and at each stage going forward. He prescribed exercises to address weaknesses and to help reload my lower back gradually. After one month, I could move throughout my day without frequent discomfort. After 2 months, I could deadlift my body weight. After 5 months, I could deadlift twice my bodyweight. With his counsel, I have a clear path forward and a sureness that the preexisting weaknesses that aided in my injury have been addressed. William's treatment has restored basic functionality to my life and returned to me the ability to do the things I love. I could not be more grateful and recommend him more highly.
Dr. William Mills is the best PT for someone who is active! I was hesitant to go to physical therapy after starting CrossFit because of the stigma that some doctors have against CrossFit. However, as someone who does CrossFit himself, Dr. Mills knows how to combine his understanding of the human body with the movements we do regularly. He knows how to help you improve and strengthen your muscles/body to do the movements safely and better than you did them before! If you’re having aches and pains at the gym, I wouldn’t recommend anyone besides Dr. Mills to help you!
After being told by 4 different orthopedic surgeons to avoid most exercises and to treat my hip pain with over the counter pain pills until I am old enough to get a hip replacement, I decided to give physical therapy a try. After just a few sessions with Dr. Mills, I saw my mobility in my hip increase and my pain consistently decrease. He is always so knowledgeable and spot on with his treatments! I now move better than before
Top notch! From consult to contact, the Alinea Performance team was professionals throughout the entire PT process. From a military perspective, the facility and staff are beyond reproach. If you need hands on, up close and truthful physical therapy, I recommend Alinea Performance all day, everyday.
I had been dealing with discomfort in my right knee since 2017. I am happy to say after working with William for 3 weeks, I recently hauled baby carriers/toys up and down the stairs to my attic and the pain was nonexistent. This is a task that would have made me very agitated in the past due to the pain that it would cause. The amount of focus, care, and troubleshooting that I received when working with Doc Mills was unparalleled. He respects my existing abilities as an athlete and addresses the root cause of the problem instead of the symptoms.
Practical and Purposeful Performance Therapy
I used to think I could get away with doing rehab and mobility exercises on my own until I consulted with Alinea. If you're an athlete or casual gym goer, stop trying Dr. Google and see Doc Mills
Doc Mills gave me a game plan to address my areas where we would really improve (T-spine, Hips, and Groin) and I've never felt better. Over the past two years we've kept in contact whenever I notice impingement or lack of mobility and discuss whether it's a one off or chronic. Mills is super knowledgeable and has always been easy to contact.
Call or stop by his office and tell him GJ sent you. Get real results instead of search results.Dr Mills was great. He helped me with both a shoulder issue, and a lower back issue, all at the same time. Within a number of weeks my paid was gone and the exercises that he showed me helped, and still do help, me to keep those areas strong and pain free. Because I work at a desk long hours, the exercises and stretches that he showed me are a necessity.
My time spent with William at Alinea Performance was fantastic. I’ve never had a physical therapist care so much about my well-being. He was always there to listen to my input and always heard what I had to say. He tuned my exercise program specifically to my needs to a level that no other PT had done before. Through him I have been given tools to use in my every day life that have helped me too go from a near sedentary state to two days ago I hiked 10 1/2 miles in the mountains. I tell everyone I can about him!
I had some serious ankle issues for a very long time. After going through some preliminary tests, Dr. Mills set up me up with a plan to help with both flexibility and a strength plan to get my ankle back in a decent place. He is very thorough in his processes and extremely easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend.
I have worked with Dr. Mills multiple times over the past three years and I absolutely love him. He is extremely educated and well versed in his approach to incorporate rehabilitation techniques and long term health benefits. He was able to help me strengthen my heart from a previous injury and congenital defect, without causing any damage to those muscles. Highly recommend him to friends and family all the time.
My cervical spine had been in pain for over 30 years. Dr. Mills did a seminar at my gym and assessed and diagnosed EXACTLY what my my problem was in 5 minutes!! This was an issue I have had for years and I thought I would have this pain forever! I scheduled sessions with him and I have no more pain!! If that area “barks” moving forward in my life, I know EXACTLY what to do through his teaching! His approach is VERY different from your typical physical therapy!! I trust him explicably with my injuries! He is now treating my knee from a prior surgery!! WORTH EVERY MINUTE of your time and investment! I am on my way to recovery as I write! I HIGHLY recommend ALINEA Physical Therapy!!! Doc Mills and his team is second to none!! I am forever grateful! You will not regret it! Thank You. Tracy M Vidrine
Over the past year or so, I've had a groin strain and most recently a back injury that's been flaring up time and time again. I've tried other PTs in the area, and from personal experience I can say with 💯 confidence that Doc Mills is in a tier of his own when it comes to his treatment and how he assesses a patient's needs and rehab plan. You get a full hour of his undivided attention each visit, which the same cannot be said for other PT clinics I've visited. This absolutely sets him apart and he has taken an extremely in depth approach to evaluating my movement, mobility, and overall strength in all facets. There's no cookie cutter approach when Mills gives you a treatment plan. It's tailored to your specific needs and situation. So if you've had a nagging pain for weeks, months, years, even decades, and you think you've tried "everything" and nothing works, reach out to Doc Mills before throwing in the towel and accepting your nagging pains.
I worked with Dr. Mills recently after a flare-up of a very old knee injury. We actually uncovered another issue with turf toe in my right foot as we progressed with the knee rehab, and fixing that issue has made a world of difference in just about everything. I never once considered that my old turf toe may be contributing to my knee issues, but here we are. After working extensively with Dr. Mills on midfoot mobility and regaining strength in that area, I have been able to run AND squat with no knee pain or calf cramping for the first time in decades 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Let’s me tell you about a guy named Dr.Mills. I came in with a somewhat simple problem, but I was having an issue finding a doctor that could help with it. Finally I came to Dr.Mills and he came up with a game plan to help me get back to up to speed. His availability and his consistency was great. I would recommend him to anyone sports related or even just to rehab. Also he has one of the cleanest cuts in the game. What else could you want in a Physical therapist/ trainer. 5 stars!
I highly recommend Dr. Mills and his group for your therapy needs. Very professional and personable. Communication is awesome and he listens to your needs. Dr.Mills did a great job motivating me when I needed it. There is no doubt my recovery would have not have been this good without them.
Thanks Doc!Absolutely the best spot for physical therapy and personal trainers! Friendly and knowledgeable team. Amy has been my favorite trainer ever, and I’ve been training with her since last fall. And I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. William — if you’re having an issue/ struggling with an injury, he can find the problem and get you back up and running!
Had a strained rotator cuff, limiting my arm movement and painful when extended. The 6 sessions brought me to about a 90% improvement, thinking I can get to 100% with the exercises I learned. I Noticed improvement along the way, with each session increasing the complexity or different movements. I can definitely recommend William Mills, he has extensive knowledge of all the workings of the body. He noticed a lack of flexibility in my back during the treatments and remedied this as well.
I stumbled across Dr. Mills during a time when I finally overcame my own stubbornness and decided I needed help if I wanted to be able to continue doing what I thoroughly enjoyed. For most of my life I have gained strength relatively easily, always been one of the stronger individuals on my athletic teams, at the gym, whatever. What I learned (the hard way) was that I knew how to get strong, but not to stay healthy. At 23 years old with 2 shoulder surgeries and one hip, I was advised to give up heavy lifting altogether & do low impact exercises.
Insert Dr. Mills - I met with him and discussed what I was feeling, what movements triggered it and went through a movement screening where any limitations were noted. We talked about what my goals were & where I see myself moving forward. Over the next few months I met regularly with Dr. Mills to analyze any movement changes, assess strengths and adjust programs. Throughout this time he helped me with my lifting programming and proved to me what I thought would be impossible - was in fact very possible - with the right amount of time, dedication and attention to detail.
I’m by no means a world class lifter, just a guy who enjoys pushing his body to the limits & try to get a little bit better everyday. I’m able to do this because of the time I spent with Dr. Mills, if it wasn’t for him I probably wouldn’t be lifting at all. 2 years out from my last procedure, I have had 0 problems, discomfort or flare ups. I’m stronger than I have ever been, my body moves better than it ever has and I ultimately feel better every day. I’ve moved weights I never thought would be possible.
Long winded, yes - but these words don’t do justice to how strongly I recommend Dr. Mills. He earns my respect and highest recommendation.My experience with Alinea Performance has been great! I was in pain with my knee and could not squat. My doctor wanted to send me to the usual physical therapy, and I refused. I was accepting the fact I would be in pain daily. I started searching and found Alinea Performance and made the call and spoke to Amy. After physical therapy with Dr. Mills the pain started to subside. He takes his time and is thorough in finding the core of the problem. I then started strength training with Amy. They are great and I am pain free. I feel great and seeing results. This is not your typical physical therapy where they stand around and talk while you do the exercise. They make sure your form is correct and your time is dedicated to you. This was a very enjoyable experience, and I would recommend anyone needing physical therapy to come to Alinea Performance. I am pain free and working out several times a week. I can squat pain free! One of the things that made my decision to try Alinea was the fact of the personal training incorporated with therapy. I don't think the big physical therapy companies have certified training. Each time I went to physical therapy in the past, I was always given the same exercises that did not help. In the future if I need PT, Alinea is where I will go. The positivity and professionalism are exceptional.
Highly recommend! After aggravating my low back during a workout and attempting to correct it on my own for 3 months, I finally made an appointment with Dr Mills. Not only did his specific treatment plan for me relieve the pain but he has also taught me the proper body mechanics and stabilization to ensure it doesn’t happen again. I haven’t felt this strong and mobile in my a long time. Everyone who I have dealt with there is super friendly and very knowledgeable.
After over a year of mystery hip pain and having to cut back on running and skating (two things that I dearly love to do), I finally went to an orthopedic doctor who couldn’t diagnose the problem without more expensive testing procedures. I was told to try physical therapy without any real direction. After researching the larger facilities recommended by the orthopedic clinic, I lacked confidence that I’d get the attention needed to find a solution to the yet undiagnosed issue. A friend recommended Dr. Mills who was so much more thorough with his history gathering and exam on the first visit that I committed to several more sessions. His treatment style is very whole-health oriented, and, as a result, I started watching my protein intake and being more mindful of movements and control in everyday life, as well as working on the prescribed specialized training exercises. I started feeling less pain overall in a couple of months. Going so long without dealing with the issue was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made given the quality of life I enjoy now. My hip issue has taken the commitment of time and attention, but Mills’ direction kept me on track. I’m looking forward to returning soon to continue working on the next problem — keeping the bunions at bay!
I came to see Dr. William Mills about pain in my right hip when lifting my foot and left knee pan. These issues had been going on for about 6 months, never getting much better. The pain was affecting not only my ability to workout consistently, but my ability to go through my normal routine. I was having difficulty getting in and out of my vehicle and was limping and experiencing pain after short walks.
Dr. Mills spent the time to really evaluate my issues and find exercises to strengthen the problem areas. He did a great job of giving me exercises that really made a difference in just a few weeks. He worked with me for a couple of months total and my issues are resolved. I highly recommend Dr. Mills, he gets results.I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022, at the age of 52, and had my prostate removed in late September. I started seeing Dr. Mills in October of 2022 and signed up for his program. This was the best decision I made. I had my bladder pretty much under control within three months and I am in better shape than I have been in 20 years. I would definitely recommend Dr. Mills
I would like to recognize and thank someone who was very important in my recovery and training at Alinea performance that worked hand in hand with Dr.Mills to get me back to living a quality life. Trainer, Christian Presley. Christian took me to the next level by mentoring and teaching me corrective weight and body training. His patience and one on one approach made the difference I needed to properly train through injury and prevent future injuries during lifting and strengthening. I’ve always considered myself athletic and competitive, but had no idea of the unnecessary stress I was putting my joints through by not lifting correctly. Thank you Christian for all your knowledge and training!
Dr Mills has been a great resource and guide for me as I’ve worked on pelvic floor health and associated issues following surgery. He explains thinks in great detail that is easy to understand and always asks if I have questions. I highly recommend him to anyone working through pelvic issues.
Dr Mills is unlike other PT’s. He helps you understand the things you need to do to truly fix the issue, and part of those things are to put in the work…he is not someone who will give you stretches and send you on your way. He and his team will work you out and show you exactly what the exercise is doing and how it will affect your injury. Highly recommend using Dr Mills!
Dr.Mills and his team have been amazing to work with! I have been seen by them three separate times for three separate injuries and each time they found the root cause of the pain and helped me through healing process! The knowledge Dr.Mills possesses truly makes this place a one of a kind physical therapy experience!
Before coming to Alinea, I walked and sat with pain in my right Pelvic Area daily. After going through the many options presented by medical doctors for 4-5 months, the issue was not fixed. After coming to Alinea, I was educated on Pelvic Health and was able to understand where my issues were potentially coming from. Alinea gives you the tools and education to help you better your self with exercises, workouts, and daily performance activities that will help your way of life get even better. After 2-3 sessions with Dr. Mills, I was able to start seeing results and see that the problematic areas were pinpointed so he could help me get better. If you put in the work with Dr. Mills, you can start feeling like your normal self again. He is very personable, and will put in the time to understand what you’re telling him. I highly recommend them for Pelvic Health and Physical Therapy.
I have been going to Alinea for close to a year and have had such an amazing experience. Dr. Mills breaks down every exercise and reasoning behind each throughout the entire recovery process. He provides detailed feedback on form during exercises, ensures you have a great understanding of what your body is doing and it's specific needs. On top of that, the environment is always pleasant so that you can feel relaxed through each session.
I recommend this place for anyone that wants a very personalized experience to get a better understanding of their body.Dr. Mills has an impressive understanding of the human body and it’s inner workings. I’m very skeptical when it comes to most doctors, and Dr. Mills has been an amazing help for me.
Personally, I saw Dr. Mills for some neck pain and related nerve issues that were preventing me from working on my computer. Mills helped me reach a manageable state where I was able to resume previously troublesome activities.
He is a highly-qualified medical professional who actually cares about you getting better and NOT keeping you stuck in the medical machine. Easy 5 starsMy experience with Dr. Mills at Alinea Performance has been wonderful so far.
Each session surprises me as Dr. Mills makes sure that I understand the “why’s behind each stretch or movement that I do. They are teachable moments that I can now replicate at home.
I am constantly surprised at my results no matter how big or small. The relief I feel and the difference these session have made to my shoulder and hip, are almost immediate.
Dr. Mills is a genuine, well-mannered and caring person, I am definitely going to continue to sing his praises.Going to a physical therapist was a new experience for me and my expectations have been tremendously exceeded with Alinea Performance. From the moment you walk in the door you are welcomed with a friendly greeting and I never had to wait to see Dr. Mills for my appointments. Dr. Mills is professional with a friendly energy that invites confidence. At no point did I feel uncomfortable or judged discussing the issues I was having. I would recommend Alinea Performance to anyone looking for Physical Therapy. Their facility is extremely clean and in a great location. I can’t speak highly enough of the experience I had at Alinea Performance.
Wonderful place and people to inhabit Baton Rouge. Dr. Mills has a keen eye and a large array of intelligence concerning the body and how to help it. I had many nagging injuries for years that wouldn’t allow me to be at 100%. He helped restore my confidence and happiness with every visit and regularly checks in with me alongside Amy and Coach Christian as well. A very strong team, and very grateful for Alinea to be here!
Dr Mills and the team were incredibly valuable during a very difficult period in my life. The tools and techniques they taught allowed for a expedited and easier post surgery recovery Getting a jump start with them before surgery also made a significant difference in my confidence going into surgery Good team with specialized clinical knowledge
The experience with Alinea has been great! From the first consultation, Dr. Mills was very conscientious in examining my issue, and developed a plan to get me back in the gym. No cookie cutter approach when it comes to dealing with their patients.
Also, the staff that help Dr Mills run Alinea have been great!Will is a phenomenal PT. After a serious wrist injury several years ago and being referred to The Bone and Joint Clinic, I was told by an ortho there that because of my injury I'd never be an athlete again, I would never be able Olympic lift or work out again, and that I would likely never regain full function of my hand/wrist. Their suggested treatment plan was steroids and intensive occupational therapy stating that MIGHT help me regain partial use of my hand and wrist. I was devastated. I went to several OT appointments just to give it a chance and eventually cancelled all of my appointments because I could tell it wasn't helping.
I was referred by a good friend to Will and starting to work with him was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He is patient, genuine, and so incredibly knowledgeable. We fully rehabbed my wrist and to this day is more stable than it ever was.
When a subsequent shoulder injury developed that I assumed wasn't related to my previous wrist injury, he was able to figure out what was wrong and get me on track to work it out. It took months and several different avenues of troubleshooting, but he was patient and encouraging every step of the way. Same as my wrist, I came out on the other side of our treatment plan with stronger and more supported shoulders than I've ever had.
I continue to reach out to Will whenever I have an injury pop up and I always will. He takes the time to connect with every patient, and because he genuinely cares he takes the time to take into account lifestyle and mental health into his treatment approach. His main goals are clear from the moment you meet him - not only to address the root of your injury, but to set you up with a long-term plan for success after your rehab ends. I cannot recommend him enough!I was diagnosed with prostate cancer early in 2023 and decided to have a radical prostatectomy. In my consultations with my Urologist/Surgeon/Oncologist I was provided with information regarding pelvic floor therapy to help minimize incontinence and erectile dysfunction that is often associated with this procedure.
I was referred to Alinea Performance and started seeing Dr William Mills approximately 4 week prior to surgery. He started introducing me to exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor and provided detailed insight into what I could expect post surgery and during my recovery. Quickly after surgery I started back with a personalized and structured exercise and therapy regimen that helped me quickly reach my goals. This process usually takes anywhere from 3 to 18 months but I was able to stay totally “dry” within 8 weeks post surgery and resume a satisfactory intimate relationship. I would not have been able to progress as quickly as I did on my own.
Alinea Performance and the staff were always willing to listen to my concerns and offer suggestions and techniques to help ease my anxieties. They made the extra effort give me all the tools and knowledge to make a 100% recovery. Alinea is a welcoming and friendly atmosphere for all who walk through the door.
I have now returned to normal activity and would wholeheartedly recommend Alinea Performance to anyone needing any type of therapy, especially men that are facing prostate surgery issues.
Special thanks to Dr Mills, Christian, Amy, and Omega.
Bruce J MinorDr. Mills is the real deal. I had weakness in my hands and frequent headaches. He was able to pinpoint what the issue was quickly. After a few months of treatment, I no longer experience weakness in my hands and the amount of headaches I get have reduced significantly. I highly recommend Dr. Mills and his team!
Dr. Mills has been amazing at helping me to resolve the long-term pain in both my neck and back. He’s helped me to grasp that building and maintaining muscle strength along with moving properly are fundamental to staying pain free. I’m now quite a believer in his approach to pain. Thank you, Dr. Mills!
Alinea Performance in Baton Rouge, LA gets a 5 star review from me. I arrived in pain after six months without answers. Dr. Mills displayed concern over my situation from the very first moment and made it clear his goal was to treat the entire patient...not just the symptoms. He was able to specifically identify my issue and created a plan of recovery that absolutely worked. I 100% recommend this provider if you are in any type of pain. The team at Alinea (Dr. Mills, Amy, and Christian) are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and caring. They go the extra mile to ensure you recover and give you the knowledge to help you stay that way. Great job to the entire team! I am grateful to have been referred to you!
I work long hours operating machinery in a seated position and traveling rough terrain.
Having recovered from surgery for a hernia, I was still suffering from testicular pain and lower back pain. It was hard to walk and it felt like my lower body was in constant pain. X-rays, ultrasounds, MRI, and CT scans provided no answers. A pain clinic only offered steroid injections and pain pills. Luckily the urologist recommended Alinea for pelvic therapy. I was skeptical, wanting immediate results, but nothing else was helping. I did everything they recommended, and before long, the pain began to decrease. I had underworked glute muscles, for one, which can cause lower back pains. My hip muscles were also weak and stressed, and the testicles are apparently attached to the hip bone. Most of my pelvic floor muscles were tight and overly stressed, probably from lack of lower body strength and support. Shockwave therapy, electro therapy, and proper stretching exercises all helped in getting me back to normal. After all the doctors, surgeons, and specialists, Alinea were the only ones to provide the correct answers and solutions.I can’t recommend Alinea enough! I love that Dr. Mills goes after the root of the problem and truly takes the time to address each concern and figures out a solution / plan. I have also enjoyed my programmed training by Christian. He has so much knowledge and patience while also pushing me to try harder. He has helped with my confidence in and out of the gym. After having a baby two years ago it was tough to start feeling like myself again but because of this team I feel stronger and healthier daily.
This is more than PT! He was able to rehab an old injury, get me back in the gym and refine my movement patterns. He took the time to answer all my questions and laid out his road map for treatment. Communication with Doc Mills and his staff is top notch. I can't say enough about Doc Mills and the staff!
My name is Jake Freeman, I’m 18 years old, and a 2024 graduate from high school. What brought me to Dr. Mills at Alinea Performance, is half way through my senior season of baseball, I suffered a high level hamstring strain. I was out for the rest of the season, but with hopes of going to play in college I knew I needed to recover as quickly as possible and get back to performing at an elite level. Throughout my time working 1 on 1 with Will, each and every week I could feel my body feeling a little bit better each and every time. I progressed way quicker than I would have ever thought at the initial point of my injury. In less than 8 weeks I was back to where I needed to be and even better than I was before the injury. I now have a showcase lined up in the beginning of June and am going to spend the rest of my summer playing in collegiate baseball league in Puerto Rico, which is huge considering I thought I wouldn’t be back to 100% until late July - early August. Will is great at what he does and truly cares about optimizing not only your recovery, but performance as well, and I wouldn’t want to see anyone else if any injury were to reoccur in the future. Doc Mills is as quality as it gets in the realm of PT’s. 10/10 recommend !!
I had my prostate removed June 3 2024. My surgeon referred me to Alinea because they specialize in post-surgery rehab primarily to slow and stop bladder leakage. Dr. Hamilton Mills showed me and my wife an impressive program to "dry up" in 20 weeks, which includes 20 office visits and a phone app with a schedule of pelvic floor strengthening exercises and a daily tracker of urine volume leakage, which started around 1,600 grams/week and is now (9/13/24) below 64 grams/week. Dr. Jake Lape also treats me with "dry needling" which is virtually painless electro-stimulation of the pelvic floor to increase blood flow to the area every other week. Special thanks to Dr. Mills for the patience he extends to this old man who is very hard of hearing and doesn't remember info very well, he communicates via texts to my wife to insure I stay on track :)
I highly recommend Alinea Performance for your physical therapy needs.
Joseph (Jay) B. Pecot IIII’m a current patient of Dr. Hamilton Mills, and I’m already seeing a significant improvement in my leg and back pain after only two visits. Years of Jiu Jitsu competition left me with consistent back pain that eventually led to pain and numbness in my legs. I fought it at home for about 2 months before finally making an appointment. Dr. Mills was able to quickly identify an issue with my glute medius and gave me a few exercises to try at home. Within two days, my leg pain was completely gone and has not returned. We are now working on strengthening my core and some additional exercises to undo some of the damage and bad habits that I’ve developed from my competition days. I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can accomplish over the next few months working with Dr. Mills and Alinea.
Alinea Performance, and Dr Mills in particular, provided me with the tools and techniques necessary to manage and control my urinary incontinence condition that I have had for 12 years. I have more work to do in completely eliminating my problem, but I am now in a much better place to hopefully make that happen. I highly recommend Alinea for men with pelvic floor issues. The sooner you call on them the better.
Dr. Mills and Dr. Lape are awesome. Very knowledgeable and helped me in my journey greatly. Went in with a shoulder/arm pain that wouldn’t go away and couldn’t figure out what even caused the issue. Dr. Mills was thorough with addressing my issue and setting up a plan to recovery. Dr. Lape was very helpful as well, and helped with strengthening my shoulder/ arm. They are both outstanding at what they do, but even better people.
Thanks again for all y’all did for me throughout this road to recovery, and I strongly recommend them for any needs anyone may have.
Thanks, BrandenGreat people who get you fixed up! I wouldn't go anywhere else. They've worked on my back, hips, and shoulder. Every instance, they've provided and followed a plan and provided lots of useful info to keep me from reinjuring myself. Plus, there's a dog there sometimes to get you through your sessions. She's the best. If anything, go there for her.
