We help people with pain or decreased performance get back to feeling their best WITHOUT rest, medication or surgeries! Our strategy of looking for the root cause of the problem helps the pain go away and stay away.
Who We Treat
Gymnasts
We specialize in treating gymnasts of all levels. The owner of Perfect Ten PT competed gymnastics at the collegiate level and truly understands what it takes to train and compete at high levels. We specialize in a step by step return to training when dealing with an injury right down to the number of repetitions of a specific skill to complete on each training day.
Other athletes
Whether you or your child is a diver, cheerleader, dancer, soccer player, or football player we scale treatment and rehab to their needs, allowing them to participate as much as possible in practices and games while supplementing with rehab, bridging the gap between the bench and the field as efficiently as possible.
Active Adults
Whether you are trying to run a marathon, or just trying to run the carpool on time, chances are you have some aches and pains from time to time. Stop in or call to see our unique approach to combining rehab and strength training to get you feeling your best everyday.
Women's Health
The majority of healthcare for pregnant and postpartum women is focused on their new baby. However, many pregnant and postpartum women have aches and pains resulting from their changing body that need to be addressed. Aside from that, many women have unique medical problems like breast pain after a mastectomy. Click here to find out how we can help.
Patients with hypermobility
Whether you have been diagnosed with EDS, HSD or just notice your joints are extra mobile, working with a PT can help improve and maintain your joint health. Learning proper movement patterns and creating active stability can decrease pain and improve function allowing you to do the activities you love.
Meet the Team
Sara Ferruzza PT, DPT, CSCS
Sara Ferruzza received her doctorate in Physical Therapy from Sacred Heart University in 2015. She went on to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach as well as a Specialist in Fitness Nutrition. She has a passion for continued learning and always trying to better herself.
She is a former competitive gymnast both with USAG and at the college level. She sustained two major knee injuries during her career which led her to the path of physical therapy. After becoming a physical therapist, she realized that one, if not both of those injuries could have been prevented with better movement strategies. She has made it her goal to help athletes of all ages stay in the gym and out of the operating room. Sara uses a variety of tools to help athletes of all ages stay out of pain including IASTM, cupping, PRI, SFMA, Maitland, and StrongFirst techniques
Aside from practicing as a PT, Sara teaches courses for Logan University and coaches gymnastics. In her free time, she enjoys working out and spending time with her puppy, April.
What we believe
Perfect Ten Physical Therapy was founded on several core beliefs, and we feel it important to share those beliefs with our community
-
We believe that when you "go to physical therapy" you should see the same therapist, every treatment, for the entire treatment
-
We believe when you are using your time and money to see a physical therapist, you shouldn't be "put on a machine" for most of the treatment, and only see the therapist for a few minutes
-
We believe that injuries don't mean you need to stop moving, just that you need to modify how and how much you are
-
We believe that graded movement is often the best way to feel better
-
We believe in involving patients in treatment decisions, no matter their age
-
We believe in keeping insurance companies out of treatment decisions
-
We believe in encouraging patients to speak up about how they feel, to parents, coaches, therapists, trainers, doctors, teachers, etc
-
We believe in explaining all evaluation findings and treatment techniques used to the patient, family, and anyone else the patient wants to inform
-
We believe in looking at the entire body and all systems and their role in injury and healing
