No matter your goals, our new location is built to help you reach your goals – faster, safer, and stronger than ever.

From the Field to the Clinic

Athletes Treating Athletes

We don’t just treat athletes - we are athletes. Our team includes current and former competitors who understand firsthand what it takes to return to peak performance. It doesn't matter if you're a weekend warrior or a student-athlete aiming for the next level - we treat you like the athlete you are. With sport-specific rehab plans, advanced diagnostics, and equipment tailored for high-level recovery, we help you get back in the game - stronger, smarter, and safer.

A Cut Above

New Performance Turf Area

Rehab that reflects real life starts from the ground up. Our new Turf Performance Area offers a dynamic training surface that benefits athletes and non-athletes alike. With better shock absorption, improved traction, and a natural-feeling surface, turf supports everything from high-level agility drills to fall recovery and safe mobility training. It’s also ideal for individuals using wheelchairs or prosthetics, offering varying propulsion resistance and a safer, more engaging environment for building confidence and strength.

Best place to go for Physical Therapy!

Their service and commitment go way above the five stars! Not only is the whole staff knowledgable, but they also care about their clients. I came to Gaylord Physical Therapy after my ACL reconstruction and am so thankful I met Eric Sokolowski.

Jennifer

You won’t be disappointed!

Went to Gaylord in Cheshire after my second neck surgery to reduce my neck pain and gain my movement back. The experience was amazing. Eric S was great to work with. The whole team really. In the end I was able to get back 90%+ of range of movement. More than even the doctors thought I’d get.
