Longevity & Performance Institute

This review is long overdue. I chose LPI due the 100% positive reviews that they have garnered over the years, and they definitely live up to their reputation! TL;DR They are fantastic and have helped both my family and me in injury recovery and pain management.

I scheduled my first session in March after my ACL reconstruction surgery and Ben, Bryant, Sarah, and Gary were instrumental to my recovery process. Not only is my surgically repaired knee now healthier and stronger than ever, I have also learned so much about functional movements and muscle control during the process. We got down to the root causes of my ACL tear and trained in a way that would prevent injuries in the future.

The team at LPI not only cares about getting you back to 100% but also strives to inspire you to work hard to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Their positive attitudes helped me tick off goals month by month, from being bedridden to getting back into my sport. I cannot thank them enough, so please take some time to check them out!

Ben is a true learner, always iterating and always humble enough to try something different. This is the characteristic of what we should expect from our physical therapists.

I’ve been to my fair share of physical therapists. Some are too by the book, rigid in their approach. Others are too lax, and do not keep you accountable.

The reality is any significant change takes consistent applied effort, and Ben and his team enable that in their clients. I have had an “outward angled” right foot for as long as I can remember, and this has been particularly annoying for me on any single leg activity, especially skiing. Ben immediately identified I had a weakness in my right glute, and more specifically I wasn’t even breathing correctly in a way that would give a platform for my hips to function correctly.

It’s taken a ton of work but I’m feeling stronger and more aligned than ever. And yes, this was almost all remote!

Come here if you want real change, even from a behavioral perspective. Don’t come if you don’t expect to work, because you probably don’t care enough. Highly recommend.

Ben and company are hands down the best psychical therapists I ever had in my life. They apply genuine top level care which gave me confidence with my body and pain free lifestyle. This was all done over tele-medicine with me being in the UK. I’ll be definitely coming back in the future if I need to and recommend his team wholeheartedly.

Additional information: 7 years ago I dislocated my shoulder playing soccer and never got surgery. I seen multiple physical therapist but their treatment never gave me confidence in my shoulder to play soccer again and always ended up with terrible back pain that would make me immobile for a few days at time, happening multiple time of the year.

Finally, I decided to see Ben based on all the raving reviews that I heard about him. From the first session, I already believed that this was going to be different from the other therapists I seen. He deeply wanted to understand what was my underlying issues and if he can potentially treat me. It was a very genuine approach which made me feel safe. Once we started treatment, his team always were very attentive to understand my progress and would adapt my treatment based on the situation. Eventually, I got to a point where I was healed and the treatment came to an end. They ensured I was healed and gave me a plan to continue to follow. It was such a genuine and life changing experience.

I've been an avid runner for some time now, but over the past few years I noticed knee pain on my right side. This moved me to give up running and shift towards lower impact exercises to get my cardio. This was not ideal, especially given that lower impact cardio creates a dependency on equipment and I live in a smaller space.

I started working with Ben during the beginning of the pandemic. As such, our sessions were fully via video. Ben spent the first session setting goals, diagnosing my treatment, and really getting to know my body. I left the first session with a few very basic exercises to strengthen target specific muscle groups. As each session went on, he introduced additional exercises and continued to check back on my goals and any potential improvements or impediments, taking time to adjust the program as needed and in real time.

During the course of our sessions there were many times where I could not perform some of the exercises / stretches that Ben had recommended initially, but Ben & crew were extremely patient and able to cater the program to what was effective and do-able for me. Again, all through video!

As the sessions went on, I started feeling the muscle groups we were specifically targeting kick in more and more as I attempted to run outside again. First week or so, with some knee discomfort, but over time, no more knee pain at all, despite longer distances on cement in uphill and downhill conditions.

Ben has taught me a ton about my body and how to take care of it properly. I highly recommend Ben & crew!

I started seeing Ben earlier this year to look at my chronic lower back pain. I've had lower back pain for about 5 years now, and it was getting progressively worse. I couldn’t enjoy hikes or vacations anymore because I always needed to find somewhere to sit and had to constantly take Advil. The final straw was when I started to wake up every morning before my alarm went off because of the pain in my back.

During our very first session, it was very clear that Ben was actually trying to diagnose the cause of my back pain instead of only treating the pain - which was always my experience with doctors and chiropractors. We went through a questionnaire, did an assessment, and he quickly identified that my tight/over-worked quads and under-worked hamstrings was the primary cause of my lower back pain. The best part was that he broke down the mechanical and physiological reasons for how and why muscles in my legs would impact my lower back.

At the end of the session, Ben developed a treatment plan and at home exercises for me to do and I saw immediate results that week - I was being woken up by my alarm again.

I continued to see Ben throughout the course of our treatment plan and every visit and set of home exercises that were given to me were tailored and tweaked for my needs based on how my body was reacting and strengthening throughout the treatment.

Now at the end of my treatment plan I can say that my back pain is gone, I'm doing long hikes again, and I can't wait for the next long vacation. I 100% recommend Ben for anyone that's had any kind of chronic pain that they just can't kick.
