Dr. Hamilton Mills has been a game changer in my recovery from back surgery.
He kindly offered to tape our sessions so that I was able to work on my exercises at home.
I would highly recommend Dr. Mills to anyone in need of physical therapy.
My transition from post op until today had been tremendous
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.

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!
Dr. 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!
I suffered a shoulder and neck injury a couple of weeks ago. After just a few therapy sessions my improvement and healing were rapid. I was greatly relieved. Dr Hamilton Mills is wonderful! I look forward to my therapy sessions. He is extremely positive and encouraging. As a patient, I appreciate that so much. I would recommend Alinea Performance to my friends, family, and coworkers!

I cant 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.
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.
Dr Mills has been a great resource and guide for me as Ive 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.

Because I work at a desk long hours, the exercises and stretches that he showed me are a necessity.
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 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.

My experience has been outstanding. From start to finish, I have had the guidance needed to navigate uncharted waters. I highly recommended William Mills and his staff.
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.
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!
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

He has set me up for a future I wasn’t sure I could have and I couldn’t be more thankful.
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.

Dr Hamilton Mills - Alinea’s Performance
So glad I saw the add for Alinea’s Performance on Facebook advertising a special for seniors suffering with balance and fall issues. I called to get further information, as this sounded exactly what I needed to do, so I made an appointment. Dr Hamilton Mills is my Doctor. I have been so pleased with his patient- centered care. He is so professional, knowledgeable, and explain s all the different exercises as many times as necessary to make sure you are performing correctly to help you achieve your goals : proper use of a cane, going up and down curbs with improved safety factors , getting stronger and feeling more confident. He has been a blessing to me and I appreciate him so much. He is truly an asset to this growing Physical Therapy business. I am so thankful I made that call and got to work with such a caring Doctor who has helped me so much to achieve my goals.
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.

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!
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 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
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!
My 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.
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 seriously cannot say enough about my experience at Alinea. I was having a lot of pain in my shoulder and after meeting with Dr. Mills for a few months, I've seen seen my pain totally resolved!
Alinea is the first physical therapy experience that has really looked at my whole body in a holistic way and talked to me about how my personal medical history plays into my physical health. Dr. Mills has done multiple evaluations on me to discover different imbalances, weakness and other issues that have been affecting me in subtle ways. He went beyond the initial reason for my visit and looked at the other related issues that could use some help. I would get periodic headaches in the back of my skull that he connected to an imbalance in my muscles in my neck. Now I've got a routine to build strength there and eradicate my headaches. Recently, Dr. Mills even did some dry needling with me that helped a ton. Alinea doesn't just help with specific issues, but improves overall quality of life.
After going to other PTs, I can say that this is by far the best one and to me seems like the way all physical therapy clinics should be. Every session, I am one-on-one with my therapist (not some college intern) and we focus more on evaluating the form of my exercises, discussing how workouts have been during the week, testing my mobility and then introducing new exercises. Instead of doing basic workouts in the clinic, their program lets me do the majority of my work myself during the week and then spends my in-clinic time getting expert advice and assistance as needed. They have an app where I can communicate with Dr. Mills, see my workout routines, give feedback and track my progress.
Overall, I've been immensely satisfied with my quality of care at Alinea. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a PT - especially over clinics in the area that aren't going to give you the attention you need.

Absolutely the best spot for physical therapy and personal trainers! Friendly and knowledgeable team. Amy has been my favorite trainer ever, and Ive been training with her since last fall. And I cant speak highly enough about Dr. William if youre having an issue/ struggling with an injury, he can find the problem and get you back up and running!

My son, Will was treated by Dr. Mills for several months for his pelvic nerve pain. He was a life saver for my son, Will is 23 and has Down Syndrome. Dr. Mills, Amy and Christian were very understanding towards Will.
Every appointment we were greeted with a smile from Amy. Dr. Mills was able to help Will more than any Dr. Christian was an excellent trainer forWill. It was a great experience!
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.

He worked with me for a couple of months total and my issues are resolved. I highly recommend Dr. Mills, he gets results.
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 🙌🏼🙌🏼
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.
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.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr Hamilton Mills.Because of his personal direction as to my exercise plan he has helped me to better maintain my confidence in my balance. He has planned a workout that challenges me but does not result in pain . I recommend Alinea to everyone who is looking for personalized physical therapy.
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 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.
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 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

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.
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!
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.
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 !!
Alinea Performance does great work. My wife, dad and several friends have seen Dr. Mills over the years and made fantastic progress at permanently resolving their injuries and/or restoring their range of motion. So when I injured my leg I knew where I had to go. Dr. Mills is very thorough, asking lots of questions and carefully observing my movements. I like the personal attention and feel I am on track to moving better than I have in decades.
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!
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
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 couldnt 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 Id 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 Ive 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. Im looking forward to returning soon to continue working on the next problem keeping the bunions at bay!
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
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!
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.

In late 2022 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer so I scheduled a prostatectomy for January if 2023. My urologist referred me to Dr William Mills at Alinea Performance for pre-surgery strengthening my pelvic floor. I continued seeing Dr Mills for several months post surgery, continuing pelvic floor strengthening to manage bladder leakage.
I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome of my therapy because I’m now dry.
I truly believe that starting therapy before surgery had a tremendous impact on my success. As a bonus Dr Mills worked on strengthening my hips, knees, and legs, which were debilitated from multiple fractures in the past.
Dr Mills and staff are very knowledgeable and professional. I enjoyed going to PT and would highly recommend Alinea Performance to anyone needing PT.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Before I started to work with Dr. Mills at Alinea Performance, I had been dealing with severe plantar fasciitis for a year and a half. I had no hope of it ever healing. I had been to several PT’s and did the suggested stretching/exercises. I tried to find things on the internet to help (socks, braces, exercises, etc.) and none of it worked. I couldn’t walk more than 2k steps a day without being in excruciating pain. I was burned out on the time and money it took to go to physical therapy. I felt like what's the point if my condition doesn’t ever improve. I was also descending into a bit of a depression from chronic pain. Life felt dark because I couldn’t do the things I love. If I tried, I was hobbling for days afterward. This was a hard pill to swallow when being active makes me happy. Fast forward four months later working with Dr. Mills and I finally got my life back. My situation has completely changed. Within weeks, I could feel a difference. I could be on my feet a little bit longer each day with no pain. Now I’m back up to my normal 11k steps per day with no problem. It’s like I got a new foot. I’m running and jumping again. It’s still wild for me to type that, because say what? Jumping? I would have literally fell apart if I tried to to do that a few months ago. I really thought I was on the hobble around train forevermore. The plantar fasciitis program has been perfect for me. Not only am I seeing results, but I love the open communication, the structure of the exercises, and the fact that I can do it all on my own time through an app. My only wish is that I had started this sooner. I would have saved myself a lot of time and money bouncing around trying to find a solution to my plantar fasciitis. It's amazing the difference it makes when you work with someone that knows what they are doing. Like I said, I went to like a million PT's, so I found solid gold in Dr. Mills. P.S. You are going to think you don’t need multiple phases of the programming but trust me…you do. It’s where extra magic happens. I’m so stoked on my progress and cannot thank Dr. Mills enough.
My 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.
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.
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.
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 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 🙌🏼🙌🏼

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.
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!
I’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.
I suffered a shoulder and neck injury a couple of weeks ago. After just a few therapy sessions my improvement and healing were rapid. I was greatly relieved. Dr Hamilton Mills is wonderful! I look forward to my therapy sessions. He is extremely positive and encouraging. As a patient, I appreciate that so much. I would recommend Alinea Performance to my friends, family, and coworkers!
Dr. Mills has been amazing at helping me to resolve the long-term pain in both my neck and back. Hes helped me to grasp that building and maintaining muscle strength along with moving properly are fundamental to staying pain free. Im now quite a believer in his approach to pain. Thank you, 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!
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 wouldnt 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 has an impressive understanding of the human body and its inner workings. Im 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 stars
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.
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.
Im 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. Im able to do this because of the time I spent with Dr. Mills, if it wasnt for him I probably wouldnt be lifting at all. 2 years out from my last procedure, I have had 0 problems, discomfort or flare ups. Im stronger than I have ever been, my body moves better than it ever has and I ultimately feel better every day. Ive moved weights I never thought would be possible.
Long winded, yes - but these words dont do justice to how strongly I recommend Dr. Mills. He earns my respect and highest recommendation.
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.
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!
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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, Im 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 wouldnt 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 wouldnt 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 PTs. 10/10 recommend !!
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.
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!
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 youre telling him. I highly recommend them for Pelvic Health and Physical Therapy.
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 youre having aches and pains at the gym, I wouldnt recommend anyone besides Dr. Mills to help you!
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 Im 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!
My time spent with William at Alinea Performance was fantastic. Ive 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!
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 100% 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 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.
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!

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!
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.
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!
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.

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 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 stars

Im a current patient of Dr. Hamilton Mills, and Im 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 Ive developed from my competition days. Im really looking forward to seeing what I can accomplish over the next few months working with Dr. Mills and Alinea.
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!
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!
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 cant speak highly enough of the experience I had at Alinea Performance.
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.

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.

ALINEA PERFORMANCE have worked hard with me on scheduling my appointments my activities are very busy. Also all their employees have made me feel like Family.
On one visit Dr.Mills asked how was the treatment helping I said when I pull the sheet over my shoulder at night I get a sharp pain in my shoulder. He immediately jumped on the floor and performed a customized exercised with a wiegth so I could pull the cover without pain. I was shocked and amazed. That treatment is relieving my pain
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.
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.
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.
