I started seeing Dr Jacqui after a lower back injury in June 2026. She worked with me across our summer scattered schedule and gave me the proper tools to prevent any flair ups. Fast forward to October, I am pain free and back to strength training and running when I was laying in bed with heavy pain 5 months ago! The staff is amazing from the receptionist to any doctor you will see. Thank you Dr Jacqui for getting me back to speed and helping me rebuild confidence in my movements.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Eulalie. We are thrilled Dr Jacqui and the team could help you recover and regain confidence in your movements. Your kind words about our staff mean a lot, and we are so glad to hear you are back to strength training and running pain free. We appreciate you trusting us with your care.
When my arm pain from a workout injury wouldn’t go away, I made the right choice to go to Competitive Edge. I was so worried I’d be in pain 5ever and never be able to grab the drive thru bag at Taco Bell without excruciating pain.
Competitive Edge gave me a professional diagnosis so I knew exactly what was wrong with my arm. Just 4 sessions in, along with doing my homework 3 days a week, the pain started to subside. I stopped worrying because I was in the hands of Dr. Albert and Dr. Lexi, who knew which exercises would help me recover.
16 sessions later, I can grab the drive thru bag without pain, trust my body more, and do a cartwheel. On top of that, I have some siick muscles.
An hour-long session seemed kind of intimidating, especially since I’d injured myself getting back into lifting after a period of illness. But I was never pushed beyond what I felt comfortable doing. I had plenty of rest breaks during the workouts and learned how important those were for letting my nervous system recover.
I learned so much that I feel way better equipped to avoid injuring myself again, which is a bit of a shame because I had so much fun in those sessions with Dr. Albert and Dr. Lexi. Everyone in there was having fun!
This is the place to go if you want to hand off your pain problem to the professionals.

We are thrilled to hear Dr. Albert and Dr. Lexi helped identify the issue and guide your recovery so you can grab that drive thru bag and even do a cartwheel pain free. It means a lot that you felt supported during hour-long sessions, had rest when needed, and enjoyed the process with the team. We're proud you feel more confident in preventing future injuries and that your hard work with your homework paid off. Thanks for trusting us and for recommending Competitive Edge.

Jonathan, thank you for the fantastic 5-star review. We’re thrilled our team’s guidance and attention to detail helped you make such strong progress with your injury. Your kind words mean a lot to our staff, and we truly appreciate you recognizing the value of our care. We look forward to continuing to support your recovery.
I came to Competitive Edge a year ago after seeing three different physical therapists over the course of nine months who couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me or the source of the severe pain I was experiencing in my glute and lower back. At that point, I genuinely believed I was never going to be pain free or walk normally again.
I had seen Courtney years ago at another facility and remembered how great she was, so I searched for her and learned she was now at Competitive Edge. From my very first appointment, it was clear I was in the right hands! Courtney was incredibly kind, patient, thorough, and truly listened. She asked thoughtful questions, looked at the bigger picture, and took the time to understand the root cause of my problems instead of just treating symptoms.
Within my first few sessions, Courtney identified that I had a large herniated disc that was contributing to my pain and limitations. She immediately put together a plan to help me get back on my feet and start making progress. What amazed me was that several doctors and providers I had seen before weren’t able to identify the cause until after my MRI, something that took months to get approved. Courtney’s expertise, attention to detail, and ability to connect the dots made all the difference. When I say Courtney knows her stuff, I mean she REALLY knows her stuff. Her knowledge, dedication, and genuine care for her patients are unmatched. I have now completed two rounds of PT with Courtney, and a year later I am essentially pain-free compared to where I started. Not only did she help me recover physically, she helped me get back to moving normally again and living my life without constantly worrying about pain.
By choosing Competitive Edge, you are making a significant investment in your recovery. That being said, I can confidently say it was worth every single dollar. You truly get what you pay for. After months of being passed around and not getting answers, investing in the right provider completely changed my recovery. I have zero regrets about choosing Competitive Edge and working with Courtney, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with future injuries.
Thank you Courtney for helping me get back to myself! And a huge shoutout as well to the rest of the staff and front desk team for always being so helpful, welcoming, and accommodating with scheduling!

We're honored to have been part of your journey and wish you many more years of moving pain free!
Personal, professional, insightful about the unique needs of the patients… I know as I’ve had three back surgeries, very complicated issues, have been exposed to a lot of Physical Therapy… These are top-notch people thank you Dr. Sullivan

I have been going to Competitive Edge Physical therapy (and seeing Lexi) for ~6 months, and just finished the last of my visits. I have been dealing with an hip injury for 3+ years, and was unable to run more than a mile without serious discomfort, and would experience aches that would last for days. Over the past few years, I've been to multiple PTs and tried many things - I was feeling hopeless that this injury would ever go away.
With Lexi's help, I am finally in a spot where I am nearly pain free, fully back to running multiple miles, and stronger than I ever was before! My hip was already feeling better after 3 months, and I decided to keep going for another 3 to continue to strengthen and ensure I was well educated on how to continue to avoid injury.
Through the running gait analysis, I also learned about how to improve my running form, efficiency, and areas to strengthen to prevent further injury. I appreciated her attentiveness to a holistic program that progressed as I did, and the knowledge and learnings I gained also help me feel well-equipped on what exercises I should continue to focus on!
Staff is all very nice, and it's easy to schedule an appointment. You also spend the entire session with the PT. Even though they don't take insurance, my insurance ending up covering a majority of it after I reached my out of pocket max. Would recommend Competitive Edge PT to everyone!

Thank you so much for the wonderful five-star review, Calli. We're thrilled Lexi and our team helped you become nearly pain-free, return to running multiple miles, and gain confidence through the gait analysis and home program. We appreciate you noting our staff, easy scheduling, and that your insurance covered much of the cost. We're here if you need us in the future.
Albert, Jacqui, and Lexi were not just professional in helping me with my torn tendon in my left ankle, but they also made me feel very welcome with every shockwave therapy session I came to them for. This type of therapy is very much a game changer in terms of pain, swelling, and regeneration of the tendon. I'm able to perform in the gym without any pain the way I used to before my injury. Everybody at the front desk and the physical therapists were all very helpful in my situation to the point it made it hard to leave, but though they all did their job and helped me be successful in my ankle recovery journey. I highly recommend this place along with the team of PT's there. You don't just go there to get healed from your physical injury and limitations, but to connect with people who generally care about helping you heal from your unique situations.

Camryn, thank you for sharing your experience and for recommending our team. We’re thrilled Albert, Jacqui, and Lexi, along with our front desk and physical therapists, made you feel welcome and supported during your shockwave therapy. It’s wonderful to hear the therapy reduced your pain and swelling and allowed you to return to pain-free gym performance. We appreciate your trust and look forward to supporting your ongoing recovery.
We love Competitive Edge! My daughter has worked with three of the PT's there, and every single one (Jake, Jacqui, and Mike) have been amazing to work with. They helped her rehab from ACL and meniscus surgery, bringing her back stronger then she was pre-injury - it's not easy to create an environment where someone is looking forward to going to PT each week (or multiple times a week) but everyone at Competitive Edge helped create an amazing environment (even fun at times!) for rehabilitation! Highly recommended, especially for folks looking to get back to competitive sports post injury and be set up for success for return to sport!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Carrie. We’re thrilled Jake, Jacqui, and Mike helped your daughter recover from ACL and meniscus surgery and that she returned even stronger than before. Creating a positive, sometimes fun, rehab environment and getting athletes safely back to sport is exactly what we aim for. We appreciate the recommendation and are here if she needs anything in the future.
I began working with Dr. Lexi Winter at Competitive EDGE Physical Therapy as I trained for my first marathon to overcome shin splints. I had been to other conventional PTs for hip and back pain with little success and had mostly been trying to figure things out on my own with YouTube.
What I think is most impressive here is the thoroughness and specific knowledge of my issues. I was able to learn the ins and outs of the root causes of my pain through the gait analysis, force plates, and sensor work. I also learned the correct way to engage the right muscles when doing my prescribed exercises.
I successfully worked with Dr. Lexi to address my shin and hip issues and to troubleshoot new problems as I increased my miles from 15 to 45 miles per week in training for my first marathon without any setbacks. I highly recommend CEPT and Dr. Lexi for runners looking to improve performance and/or overcome injuries.

Ben, thank you for the thoughtful review and for trusting Dr. Lexi and Competitive EDGE Physical Therapy with your marathon training. We’re thrilled the gait analysis, force plates, and sensor work helped identify root causes and teach proper muscle engagement, and congratulations on progressing from 15 to 45 miles per week without setbacks. Your recommendation means a lot — we’re honored to help runners improve performance and overcome injuries.
