Challenger Sports Physical Therapy

Dr. Bob Baker has been great. I am learning alot about my body. He has a very practical approach. I highly recommend!

As a lifelong athlete, I have endured many injuries, and with that comes rehabilitation with just as many Physical Therapists (PTs). Many are very good. However, most of them must pass their care to trainees or "techs" so that they can supervise the operation. The screwed up helath insurance payment system dictates this for these businesses to be viable. I am a retired doctor and know this firsthand. What separates "Dr. Bob" is that he works one-on-one with you during your sessions. And he doesn't waste time having you do your "homework" exercises for him each time. He trusts that you're regularly doing your part. He does test you to confirm that, but the commitment is implied and it's based on mutual respect. Also, he didn't myopically focus on my shoulder as he insisted we work on strengthening the kinetic chain to improve mechanics and lessen the load on my shoulder. Dr. Bob's PT helped me heal my third rotator cuff injury, avoid another surgery, and I returned to the tennis court, surprisingly with a better serve. The shoulder is strong and stable, which shows up in many other parts of my game, bringing the joy of competitive high-level tennis back into my life. I will religiously continue doing my "homework" exercises to maintain my shoulder so hopefully I won't injure it again.

Bob is great. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and takes his time with his patients. I highly recommend Challenger Sports PT!

Bob is awesome! Couldn't lift my arm over my head for six weeks then got a referral to him and in 3 weeks was back playing tennis and bball! Thanks Bob! Feel great!

Both my wife and I started seeing Bob for different reasons, she had a bulged disc that was severely limiting her movements, and I had been suffering with pain in both shoulders. Bob was able to diagnose us and provide treatment that helped us learn more about how our bodies should move, and get us to where we were basically pain-free. I had been to physical therapy in the past, but never did I have a therapist that understood movement from an athletic perspective. We are both back to weight training, walking and living our best life. I recommend Bob at Challenger Sports Physical Therapy to all of my contacts.
