I limped into Barbell Physical Therapy two years ago with extreme sciatic pain shooting down my right leg. I had been to two other physical therapist, a chiropractor, an acupuncturist and had started to do research on local surgeons. Dom asked me to give him two months before I reconsidered surgery. Over those first two months Dom created a completely custom plan to my needs and we were able to work out of the extreme pain I was having. Over the next six months Dom continued adjusting my plan to exactly what I needed to get back in shape. Every time I’d have a set back, he had an answer to get me back on track. I’m am now in the best shape of my life and feel the most educated I’ve ever been on taking care of myself.No matter if you’re in pain, need to recover from an injury, need to train for an event, or just want to stay in shape with workouts that are custom made for you, you need to call Dom at Barbell Physical Therapy.

I recently underwent physical therapy for a knee injury, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided by my physical therapist, Dr. Dominick Louda, PT DPT, “Dom”, at Barbell Physical Therapy. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in capable hands.Dom possesses an impressive combination of expertise and compassion. Throughout my sessions, he demonstrated a deep understanding of my injury and created a tailored treatment plan that addressed my specific needs and goals. His knowledge of anatomy and rehabilitation techniques was evident in every interaction.Not only did Dom help alleviate the pain in my knee, but he also focused on strengthening the surrounding muscles, which improved my overall mobility.I cannot recommend Dom highly enough. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his patients make him an exceptional physical therapist. I am grateful to have had the privilege of being under his care.

As a competitive bodybuilder who has been lifting weights for nearly 20 years, my body is constantly getting injuries and nagging pains that can impact my training.Since working with Dominick we have been able to both minimize how often I get injured, especially a more serious one, as well as give solutions to working around something for it to heal properly. This has led to me being able to stay more consistent with training hard and making progress without taking steps back and being unable to train. The man knows his stuff and I cannot recommend him enough.

I wish I would have met Dom first. It’s been 8 months since he’s following me and the results are exceeding my expectations.In the past two years I had chronic joint pains and according to many professionals I had to limit my physical activities and receive care on a weekly base.Dom in just a couple of weeks of works fixed most of my physical problems and he still helping me in getting stronger.

I have been to multiple PTs in the past, who ended up throwing the basic band work at me with no progressive goals. So after injuring my shoulder, I was reluctant to visit anyone until a good friend referred me to Dom.His work was second-to-none. Taking my injured shoulder, from 30%, back to its full range of mobility and strength. He also diagnosed a deficiency in the alternate shoulder and got that one all greased up as well.Aligning the PT work with strength training, I was back into the swing of things with full confidence in my shoulders capabilities. I cant tell you how good it is to get that back!I HIGHLY recommend Dom. Dont wait. Get in, get working and get it fixed before it becomes surgery.

I’m so happy I reached out to Dom after moving to San Diego in June. I suffered a shoulder injury after snowboarding in February. I was barley able to lift my shoulder over my head and thus my mobility with certain gym exercise was limited. My previous and first PT experience was not great and didn’t do much for addressing my post injury shoulder instability issues and getting me back into performing certain lifts in the gym.Dom gave me a detailed plan of attack and educated me on how to address the root cause my shoulder instability and pain. After 12 visits and following his detailed plan, I barely have pain in my shoulder and can perform every lift in the gym again. I would highly recommend Dom to anyone needing personalized PT, especially to those who are highly active.

If I could give 10 stars I would. This man has helped me overcome my weak hamstrings. I’ve pulled the same hamstring twice in one year and ever since I’ve done what Mr. Dom and his app told me to do, I’ve been able to become better than ever before. I also come to Dom with new pain every week, he does a great job at working through my pain and making it go away through loading it!! Not only has Dom helped me fix my hamstrings, and any other little knock I have. Love this guy so much, recommend 100/10 💪🏻⚽️

I cam to Dom with a handful of problems that I had chronically been dealing with for an embarrassing amount of time. I had been very sensitive to slight aches in my lower back, hip, shoulders and a very bothersome left knee pain.By having his trained eyes on my movement, it became clear that my years of self diagnosis and scrolling on the internet was not comparable to having his input. More so, Dom understands the psychological nuances behind pain. This is where most of my progress came from. Having him educate me on my personal experiences, what I’m feeling, and how to move forward was unbelievably empowering. I now feel much more capable in my body.When I came to him I was very hesitant about lifting the way I wanted to. Now he has given me the tools to consistently be in the gym, get stronger, and feel confident that I can deal with any “problems” that come up.If you are looking for anyone to help you with any pain issue Dom is your guy.He has deep technical understanding in restoring function but also how things like stress, lifestyle, and perspective affect your recovery too.What he has you doing is designed so that you actually do it. He gave me only the few things that will give me the most results. Not only a very productive 12 sessions I did with him, but the investment is still giving returns months later.Thanks Dom!!

I can’t recommend this place highly enough! I went to Dom originally for tennis elbow and I ended up getting so much more out of our sessions. He explains everything so clearly so that it just clicks in your brain. Every time I saw him I feel like I had an ah-ha breakthrough moment about the mechanics of my body. He’s great at breaking movements down and giving you the tools to help yourself in your every day life. It’s absolutely worth every penny!

Working with Dom for strength coaching has been an absolute pleasure over the past 2+ years. Dom was able to keep me consistently progressing and was always responsive and attentive to my individual needs as a lifter, including working around a year-long bout of sciatica. Dom was able to tailor my movements and keep me training in a way that was not detrimental to my injury recovery. With Dom’s guidance I was even able to make a return to the sport of powerlifting all while staying injury free! Thank you Dom and Barbell Therapy!

Dom has completely changed the way I think of pain, working out, and recovery. Before seeing Dom I was in constant back pain, so severe I ended up having significant nerve damage and drop foot in my late 20s. During my sessions I learned so much about my body and how to effectively deal with my pain. While working with him I was able to fix my nerve damage and workout completely pain free. I now do day to day activities and workout with such a better mindset and knowledge, and still to this day have no back pain to worry about. I am now lifting heavy, running, and able to do daily tasks without the constant worry if I will hurt myself again. If you are looking to get out of pain and really experience long term results/success I would recommend seeing Dom and his team! Thank you again!

Dr. Dominic is truly an amazing physical therapist! I’ve been going to physical therapy over 10 years now and I can honestly say he is hands down the best Physical Therapist for many reasons. He genuinely cares about his patients, he follows up with you, he is very knowledgeable, he is very understanding and always willing to listen and you get the best results. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Dominic!

Dom is an experienced, knowledgeable and compassionate PT. He uses his own advice, which is a testament to what he advocates when working with his patients. Personally, I developed over the course of 2 years what become chronic daily sciatica pain that shot down the back of my right leg. The pain affected my life so much so I cut off my yoga practice and 3-4x weekly workouts. My family planned our zoo outings and kid activities around my back and leg pain.I worked with a chiropractor. I worked with an acupuncturist. I rewrote my yoga practice where it was no longer challenging me to avoid triggering the pain. I saw my doctor. None of these helped me. The pain started in my knee and moved to my lower back into the back of the leg and I thought it was here to stay.Dom does not have a one size fits all approach. He is not a “lay down and massage the area, and bends the joints slowly” kind of PT. He will make you work and learn about how you are using your body everyday, and what muscles you need to strengthen to target the pain. He will assign homework in between sessions and ask that you pay attention to those muscles that need strengthening.In the end, after seeing Dom for 6 months, I rarely experience the pain as I did before working with Dom and I have been able to return to my normal physical activities working out, practicing rope wall yoga again and enjoying those long days at theme parks with the kids. I cannot recommend Dom enough for nontraditional physical therapy. He’s made such an impact in my life that I plan to continue to train with him for the foreseeable future.

Everything changed when I started working with Dr. Dominick! Following a severe injury and ankle surgery, I was told by multiple professionals that I would likely never run again. I felt pretty hopeless in my path to recovery and fitness. When I met Dominick, his positive, creative, and personal approach brought my hope back! With hard work and dedication, he has not only helped me recover full use of my ankle, but he has also inspired me to reach my full fitness potential as well. I have been working with Dominick for less than six months and I am already running, jumping, and living the life I hoped for! He has had a unique way of simultaneously pushing me further than I thought possible while also maintaining safety and awareness of my injury and healing. His professionalism and approach is unparalleled. I trust Dominick with my recovery and highly recommend him to anyone hoping for a comeback story like mine!

I was with Dom for about 1.5 years and he’s awesome! I have a genetic condition and have seen multiple personal trainers and physical therapists, and Dom is the first person who has helped me ease my pain. I can’t say enough good stuff about him.I’ve been lifting for 8 years, but after working with him, I realized I didn’t know how to really control my body. He was able to teach me how to workout without pain and progress at a good pace. Trust the process! He’s the best around!

I started working with Dominick when my back injury became more persistent. At first, I worked with him for just personal training. His communication is tremendous, he constantly asks questions and requests feedback.Every time my injury started flaring up again, Dominick adjusted. His rehabilitation program and 1 on 1 sessions allowed me to build a strong foundation. His guidance and patience helped me build confidence when I returned to training. My back pain is progressively becoming non-existent, and I have Dominick to thank for that.He is attentive, knowledgeable, understanding, and just all around awesome to work with!

I’ve seen Dr Dom in action in both physical therapy and personal training! He has helped rehab several chronic and new injuries I have from my rolled ankles to my weak knees. His programming is very intentional and he works diligently to provide the best treatment path to allow you to enjoy the things you once could. He consistently checks in, provides thoughtful feedback and truly cares about all of his patients and clients. I tell everyone to see him because he provides actual results!!! My injuries have all subsided because of Dr Dom’s attentive nature and careful understanding of everyone’s unique physiology. Highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!!

TLDR: Dom from Barbell Physical Therapy ended my 6 year injury & is the reason Im back in the gym - 10/10 would recommend this guy. Im 25 years old and when I was 18 I started to have intense left shoulder pain when I would do certain lifts in the gym. YouTube told me it was shoulder impingement. My doctor told me it was bicep tendonitis. I did massage therapy, chiropractor, then turned to the egoscue method that I would practice on and off for the next 5 years. In this past year, I felt like it was now or never to fix this injury and get back to working out, and so I did yoga and practiced egoscue religiously - sometimes even multiple times per day. Being a skinny kid all my life, I felt stuck. I wanted to gain weight but couldnt because even movements as simple as pushups and pullups really hurt my shoulder. I started to associate all sensation in my left shoulder as bad and making the problem worse. After I felt like yoga and the egoscue method weren’t getting me closer to healing my shoulder after months and months of doing it, I was looking for something else to try. At this point, I was pretty discouraged and not optimistic about healing this injury. Luckily, I stumbled across Dom on instagram and talked to him on the phone. After speaking with him, I had a good feeling this could be what I needed. I remember he said the stuff he teaches isn’t sexy, wouldn’t go viral on social media, but works. I signed up for 12 sessions and literally before the 12th session (3-4 months) I considered my shoulder problem to be behind me. Dom did a few essential things for me over the course of those 12 sessions. Not only did he teach me how to move my scapula and shoulder properly, but he changed my relationship to my pain - the sensation in my shoulder was no longer bad and harmful (which I had engrained in my mind for years). He helped me distinguish between actual pain from injury and muscle fatigue. At two points along the process of doing the exercises he recommended, my neck would get stiff mid-workout and I couldn’t move it much for 1-3 days. In one session he was able to help me understand why this was happening and give me tools to prevent it from happening. It hasn’t happened since. The other great thing about Dom… is that he’s swole! The guy is 100% shredded. I know this probably shouldn’t matter, but to me it helps. I would rather take advice and listen to every word from someone who is in great shape and trains daily, used to be a powerlifter, and has gone through injuries that he’s had to heal himself - than a PT that’s out of shape with a degree. Even though I feel like my shoulder injury is behind me and only getting better, I still see Dom 2x/month to work on everything from deadlifting and squatting, to improving my scapula rotation. In the past 4 months with Dom’s help, I’ve moved past my injury, gotten way stronger, and gained 15lbs in the process. I would have been happy with results like these in 12 months. The fact that it happened in 4 is crazy to me still. I am overall much happier in my day to day life knowing I’m on track to becoming the healthy and strong version of myself that I know I can be. If you have an injury, please don’t waste 6 years like me… just see Dom.

Im not exaggerating when I say that Dr. Dom has changed my life.Im a longtime martial artist who found myself entering middle-age with a laundry list of physical ailments and injuries. Despite a lifetime of intense exercise and fitness, I had never learned to lift properly, or to listen to my body. The future was bleak for me, with the very real prospect of having to give up martial arts and accept rapidly decreasing mobility and strength.Dr. Dom understands athletes, being one himself. He appreciates our sensibilities, and the fact that for us, giving up our training and our fitness goals is not an acceptable option. Instead of simply telling us to stop or get surgery, which is often the prescription of first resort at in-clinic PTs, Dr. Dom works with his patients to address the underlying issues, and to teach us how to train in a sustainable and healthy way.Dr. Dom has not just helped me address my turf toe, neural tension, tight legs, a torn rotator cuff, tendonitis, sciatica, and the typical coup de grâce - a herniated disk - he has taught me how to exercise properly, as well as how to brace my core, lift, and move properly in all facets of my life. The man is a miracle worker.Beyond the instruction, Dr. Dom has provided me with far more emotional and psychological support than I have any right to expect from a PT. Hes talked me through the low points in my recovery, always finding the right mix of pulling and pushing to keep me training and improving.If you are an athlete, or anyone who wants to keep moving and living at a high level at any stage of life, dont waste your time going through a hospital or off the list of PTs recommended by your insurance. Its your health and your life. Just go see Dr. Dom and start getting better for real.

Dom has treated me for post surgery on my knee & also for severe back pain. Both issues are now fully recovered. I continue to see him as he strengthens areas I was lacking confidence in. Stability, lifting, andgetting safely up & down from the floor! He has given me confidence and he pushes me to my limit & beyond . I strongly recommend Dom. He has changed my life. I walk taller & cant wait to see what I will accomplish in the future.

Came in with a pretty bad ankle injury about a month before the start of season. Dom was awesome and had me back up and running just in time for the first game. Great guy who actually understands how to rehab athletes and cares about continuing the work after the injury itself is healed. Would recommend to anyone and will return should I get another injury. Thank Dom!

The owner at my gym referred me to Dom. I had an adductor strain/minor tear. Over the course of 3-4 months, Dom took precaution with giving me the basics of PT for my adductor. As time went on with mobility work I could start to see my lifts and movement was overall more straight and “one motion”. More muscle connection rather than brute force. It wasn’t easy, but you definitely get the results you pay for. I also continued to do coaching under him and he got me back over from where I was when my injury occurred within 4 months. Overall I feel 100% again, more aligned and flexible, my lifting and technique by far more dialed in than it has ever been before. My work capacity has increased as well from all the volume. Dom is extremely knowledgeable and very qualified if you’re looking for a PT right now.

My fiancee first found Dom on social media after doing research on Instagram. She was recovering from a torn ACL and thrashed between few PTs before finding Dom. She was in search of someone who genuinely cared about her progress and cared about creating a better training program.Throughout the course of her PT, I witnessed her becoming more athletic and more fit than she had ever been in her lift. It was a pretty remarkable experience to watch her go through Barbell Physical Therapy as an outsider. Once she was at 100% and could return to sports, she decided she wanted to continue seeing Dom as a personal trainer. She is insanely frugal so this was a complete shock to me, especially given her existing thoughts on personal trainers in general.Witnessing how valuable Dom was to my fiancee, I decided to start seeing him in a personal trainer capacity. I mainly wanted to learn how to make my time at the gym more efficient and understand how to build my own workouts. From the first or second week, I had learned enough to change my life forever, which is not even an exaggeration. I had learned that I was lifting wrong my entire life and not focusing on the right parts of my body while I worked out. Dom’s knowledge of the body is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, you can tell he has a deep understanding of the way the body works, moves, and how to draw the most power out of it. He helps fine tune form to maximize gains or flexibility in the exact way you want. He has helped me understand how to craft a workout to make every exercise, set, or rep the most efficient use of my time. He helpsSomething that I wasn’t expecting whatsoever was to learn how to craft my body’s perfect warmup. Dom has helped me understand exactly which parts of my body are the tightest, why they’re the tightest, and helps focus those areas to prevent them from hindering any movements (mainly squats and deadlifts). I hadn’t been able to touch my toes since I was less than 10 years old. Within 6 weeks of seeing Dom I was able to touch my toes. I’ve always considered myself an extremely tight person, I was previously around 6 away from being able to touch my toes, my groin and hamstring gave me issues every so often.On the muscular side of things, Dom has helped me put on a lot of muscle without having to spend my life in the gym. This is the real reason Dom has changed my life. He has helped me maximize my outputs for the input that I’m willing to give the gym. These are tools I will use for the rest of my life while I struggle to find a balance between work, life, and the gym. I’m eternally grateful for the knowledge I’ve learned from Dom and feel like he’ll add a ton of value to anyone’s life.

I spent more than a year powerlifting with an injury. I went to my insurance provided therapist for help, with no luck. I couldnt figure out what was wrong. It was frustrating.My first day seeing Dom, he did a few tests and identified the primary cause of my injury (poor hip and hamstring mobility). After a few sessions he figured out some secondary causes. He taught me a bunch of exercises that alleviated my issues and allowed me to continue powerlifting without repeating the cycle of re-injury.I found Dom honest, knowledgeable, and a good listener. Its amazing what sport specific knowledge can do.

I first started working with Dom about 3 years ago. I was having some issues with my left hip and hamstring and honestly just picked the closest PT clinic to my house, and boy am I glad I did. Dom helped me work through the issues I was having and within a few weeks I was back to surfing and playing hockey as I was before the problems I was having.January 2020 I tore my ACL playing hockey. I went to see Dom the next day as I could barely walk and he knew right away that it was fully torn. I had a few friends of mine who are PTs as well check it out and they did not think it was a full tear. Lo and behold, when I had my MRI come back a few months later it was in fact fully torn. This guy knows his stuff. We got to working on prehab exercises, and when I had my surgery in June 2020 we got right to work.I was back on my feet doing light runs after 3 or 4 months. The biggest thing to me is not only Doms ability to get you to where you need to be physically, but also mentally. These kinds of injuries are not just about your physicality but also being confident in your physicality. I got back to surfing in November and back to playing hockey in May. I really never thought Id get back to doing everything I love so quickly and with such confidence. There is still a ton of work to be done and I put all of my confidence in Doms abilities to help me get to where I need to be.Im actually moving out of state for the next 7 months or so, but have zero interest in finding a new PT. Rather, Dom is willing to work with me virtually. The biggest thing I have to say about him is that more than anything he truly cares about his clients. Hes gone above and beyond what Id ever expect from a PT and does everything in his power and ability to make sure Im where I need to be.Thanks man youre a legend!!!

I have posted here before but think it important to update. I retore my repaired ACL and meniscus back in May 2022 snowboarding. All fault to myself as I fully neglected keeping up with workouts, rehab, etc, and was focusing solely on snowboarding as I live in Breckenridge, Colorado. Didn’t turn out so well for me.Dom and I spoke about this around September and I decided I really didn’t want to have to go through the pains of another surgery and rehabbing for a year+ only to potentially end up with the same results. We’ve been working for around 6 months now on rehabbing this knee with no surgery and the results have blown me away. I’ve been snowboarding at a high level since December, arguably as high level as I was with ACL in tact. I’ve also been working on a lot of lateral movements, as hockey was where my initial tear came from and would love to get back into it. On top of that, the pain level is no different than it was with the ACL repaired and is pretty nonexistent. I don’t see myself deciding to do this surgery again unless something changes.The thing with all of this is that without Dom and the motivation and guidance he provides for me there is no way I’d be in this place right now. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and doing things someone with no ACL is supposedly not supposed to be able to do. I had never even considered not having this surgery again until we went over our options and can’t recommend him more.On top of all of this the most important thing to me is that Dom truly cares. He isn’t here to just feed you generic workouts and exercises. Everything is completely catered to you and your needs and the attention to detail is top notch. I’ve been doing this rehab completely remote since we began and I wouldn’t even consider seeing someone else. The level of trust that has been built is far too high. Give this a go before going through some life changing surgery some doctor recommends you!!Thanks for all the things Dom!!

I worked with Dom for a few months after a leg injury and he was so crucial in my recovery. He was friendly, helpful, and challenged me every session. My favorite part is that he would check in in between sessions to hold me accountable and see how my home exercises were going. I wouldn’t be as far along in my recovery if it weren’t for him. Highly recommended!!!

I have utilized Dr Dom’s services on several occasions - following both rotator cuff surgery and a total knee replacement. The experience at Barbell PT is unique! Dom will dedicate his time and expertise to your recovery. Instead of the typical physical therapy appointment where you might get 10 minutes with the actual physical therapist your whole time is spent with Dr. Dom - plus he provides not only home exercises to do but videos of those exercises so you can refer to them once home. This unique experience enhanced my recovery - both from the length of time it took to recover as well as the function restored. Definitely my go to place for any physical therapy needs.GAil Kane

I have suffered from sciatica for several years now. I have been to multiple physical therapist with little relief of pain and no improvement long term. Besides yoga and a few other techniques I pickup along the way, nothing helped. Until I came to Barbell Physical Therapy.The first difference I would like to point out is the fist visit. Dominick went into full detail assessing me. He dug into the details of my pain. I could tell he really cared and he wanted to know everything he could about me. It was a completely different experience from filling out a form and spending a few minutes talking to someone.My therapy has been uber personalize and best of all EFFECTIVE. One of the things I love most is that my therapy is not just to fell normal and do normal things again. I am healing and at the same time becoming stronger. Along the way, Dominick is educating me and empowering me to take control of my mobility again.I HIGHLY recommend Barbell Physical Therapy. I am in good hands and felling stronger, moving faster and better then I have in a long time.~ Thank you for everything you do Barbell Physical Therapy!

Dr. Dominick Louda and Barbell Therapy have proven time and time again to be the most effective and innovative physical therapy clinic I have ever attended. Dr Louda’s ability to build rapport with his clients as individuals journey through their recovery has made physical therapy a joy rather than a chore.My personal experience of having Dr. Louda as my physical therapist, a strengthen and conditioning coach, and now a friend has been nothing short of stellar. I have never seen the amount of progress in the recovery of injuries and in my training until I became a client of Barbell Therapy. Dr. Louda implements rehabilitation and recovery along with strengthening and training. This model, as I have seen on a personal level, has allowed clients and I to exceed past their injuries and beyond. I have worked with Dr. Louda for almost 2 years now and will continue to be one of his clients. He consistently delivers and is a key tool and advocate for your success as an individual. Definitely a Doctor you can trust and know you are getting the best treatment and care!

Ive been doing Physical therapy for a while due to a childhood injury. Recently, I started physical Therapy with Dr. Dominick Louda, at Barbell Physical Therapy. From the first minute I met Dr. Dominick, I felt that he cared about me and that he would do whatever it takes to make me stronger and stop my pains. We started the workouts, I was very surprised and very pleased that we were working out one on one, he didnt have an assistance to do the exercises with me, unlike other physical therapy places Ive been too, where the assistance takes over, and you practically never see the therapist again. Dr. Louda was there every step of the way. Thank you Dominick for all that youve done for me.

Recently finished up rehabbing and training with Dominick, wow! beyond pleasantly impressed with his knowledge and his spot on training technique, the man knows his craft and then some, i have been through many physical therapy clinics through the years, unfortunately lots of passed surgeries and injures, if only I had Dom then . So i completely tore off my bicep and apparently not surgicaly fixable, my dr. connected me to Dom, thought it a perfect match, he was spot on, not only did he get me back functioning to full capacity, he mentally coached me as well, see, I had a hard time accepting this could not be surgically reattached, I missed my bicep! so Dominick addressed every aspect, kept my brain in check as well !

I worked with Dominick on a personalized 3-day a week strength training program. I am an avid cyclist and my overall fitness goal was to balance getting in miles on my bike, while still building strength in my meager home gym, aka my garage.I had limited equipment to work with - a pull up bar, gymnast rings, a kettlebell, a weighted vest and exercise bands. I was amazed at the diversity of moments, exercises and variations Dominick was able to program into my workouts. Home workouts were a necessity due to covid-19, but with Dominick’s creativity and programming my workouts were highly challenging and effective.As one example, we set a stretch goal of 30 strict pull ups. I was able to hit a PR of 29 after only 8-weeks, up 5 reps from my previous PR of 24. Not only did I significantly improve my pull ups, but I built strength, and muscular endurance on multiple other movements. And, per my overall goal, Dominick’s program really complimented my cycling goals, whereas in the past I struggled to balance strength training and cardiovascular/endurance training.I highly recommend Dominick for his creativity, expertise, and ability to customize a program that will meet your specific fitness goals.

Dom is a great, knowledgeable pt with awesome communication skills. It makes a big difference getting tons of personal attention as opposed to seeing a pt for 15 minutes through insurance. Also a huge plus that he understands strength sports and what athletes need to get back in the game and perform at their best. Night and day difference from PTs I have seen in the past. Honestly regret that I didnt start working with him sooner.

I’ve had a nagging knee injury for 2 years that made it so I was unable to run and stand on my feet for long periods of time without extreme pain. With the help of Barbell Physical Therapy I’m now able to run again and can work on my feet all day with minimal pain. I’m able to do things I didn’t think I could do. Dom really cares about his clients and takes the time to find the root cause of your pain and works with you to correct it.

I cant believe that after years of putting up with knee pain, there was a solution all along. I can tell that Dom is personally invested in my recovery. He has been patient and supportive every step of the way. Im so grateful. Thank you.

Dr. Dom is the best! Went to see him because of nagging shoulder and neck pain from years of being slumped over a laptop. We worked on stretching, mobility, and progressive strengthening. All the pain went away and hasnt come back. After learning he was a strength athlete Ive continued to see him to get treated for injuries from lifting and get advice about how to avoid them. He is incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to treat athletes because he is one. But you dont have to be an athlete to see him in the clinic I saw him work with all kinds of people and all kinds of injuries. Everybody loves this guy because hes a great person and incredible PT. If youre hurt go see him hell heal you!

Best decision I made was to start working with Dom. I was hopeless since i heard from many Chiropractors and Physical Therapists that there was nothing else they could do to help me.Within 3 sessions my flare ups diminished by 75% of the time. From there I was able to start strengthening my weaknesses and now I can actually lift again. Not 100% yet but every day/session is one step closer to it!Thanks brotha

6 months after knee surgery, I was struggling to go up and down stairs. I worked with him for 9 weeks in hopes I could dance at my wedding without pain. Not only was I able to dance without issue, I was able to walk, jog, swim, hike, repel, zipline, and much much more while on my honeymoon. The detail and dedication that he approaches each and every session shows his passion for what he does. If you have an issue or want to get in better health, reach out. Worth every penny.... oh, but you have to be ready to work. I wanted him to push me, and push me he did. Workouts were no joke.

Absolute professionalism and passion from start to finish, Dr. Louda helped me work over and around all obstacles, physical and mental, that arose during my injury. His physical practices along with the mental tools he armed me with were absolutely detrimental in my recovery, this experience has inspired me to pursue my own career in Physical Therapy, so that I may help people and change their lives in the same way this changed mine.

Dr. Dom is highly knowledgeable in his craft yet he can explain things in understandable ways. The exercises he implements are effective and practical. He also follows up regularly to make sure you are staying the course. Dr. Dom is someone who cares and has earned my highest recommendation.
