What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Barbell Physical Therapy & Performance In New Haven…

“Can’t recommend Barbell PT enough!!! Started working with Barbell 10 weeks ago after very badly straining my hip squatting. I tried at first to remedy the pain on my own with stretches etc but that only made it worse as the pain continued to wake me up in my sleep whenever I would move. Barbell is unlike any other physical therapy clinic I have ever worked with. My PT at Barbell was extremely knowledgeable about the body in an athletic sense, they will not tell you you can never squat, deadlift or lift in general again, and they challenge”

“I started working with Ryan about 6 months after I had surgery for a hip labral tear. After my surgery, I got physical therapy from another provider, but was still struggling to fix a hip hike that I was noticing during my squats. When I came to Ryan, he knew exactly what to do! After about 2 months of working together, I finally started to notice that my squat was becoming more even and my hip was able to get into deeper ranges of motion. I am so thankful to Ryan for his expertise and helping me to feel confident again with my lifting!”

Dr. VanNieuwenhuyze has been a life-long athlete and lifter, and knew from a young age that he wanted to become a physical therapist after suffering a shoulder injury that ultimately required surgery and a long rehab process. During this process, Dr. VanNieuwenhuyze found that many physical therapists and physical therapy clinics weren’t cut out to provide the best care to lifters, athletes, and active individuals.
