WHY STRIKE PHYSIOTHERAPY & PERFORMANCE?
We believe everyone deserves to live an active, unrestricted life. Too often the medical community tells you to “just stop” — stop lifting, stop running, stop playing. We disagree. Here’s why we’re different.
Our Mission
WE BELIEVE FREEDOM IS THE MOST POWERFUL THING YOU HAVE
Freedom to travel with friends. To enjoy quality time with your family. To live an active, fulfilled life unrestricted by physical limitations. That’s what we fight for at Strike Physiotherapy & Performance.
Too often the medical community tells people to stop being active. They say you’re too old to squat, too fragile to run, too “worn out” to train. They hand you painkillers, tell you to rest, and send you on your way. We believe that approach fails people.
"HOW MUCH OF YOUR CURRENT LIFESTYLE FITS THE MOLD OF THE LIFESTYLE YOU'RE MEANT TO LIVE?"
Our mission is to enable individuals to attain their highest potential in function and wellness — through customized care that emphasizes education, active involvement, and lasting outcomes. We don’t just eliminate your pain. We give you the tools, the strength, and the knowledge to stay at your best for life.
Every client receives a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to their unique requirements. No cookie-cutter programs. No rushed visits. No generic exercise sheets.
Our Values
WHAT WE STAND FOR
🎯
RESULTS DRIVEN
Everything we do is measured by outcomes. We're not satisfied until you're back doing what you love — stronger and more resilient than before.
🤝
PERSONALIZED CARE
No two bodies are the same. Every treatment plan is built around your specific needs, goals, limitations, and lifestyle — never a template.
📚
EDUCATION FIRST
We don't just treat you — we teach you. Understanding your body is the key to long-term health, injury prevention, and peak performance.
💪
PERFORMANCE MINDSET
We go beyond pain relief. Our goal is to optimize your movement, strength, and function so you perform at your absolute best in sport and life.
How We're Different
TYPICAL PT CLINICS VS. STRIKE PT
We recognize that traditional physical therapy often falls short. You deserve better. Here’s how we’re fundamentally different.
✗ Typical PT Clinics
THE OLD WAY
- Rushed 15-20 minute visits with minimal one-on-one time
- See a different therapist every visit — no continuity
- Cookie-cutter exercise sheets given to every patient
- Treat symptoms only — same problem comes back later
- Overcrowded clinics, 3-4 patients seen at once by PT
- Told to "just rest" or "stop doing what you love"
✓ Strike PT
THE STRIKE WAY
- Rushed 15-20 minute visits with minimal one-on-one time
- Every session is 1:1 with a licensed physical therapist — always
- Fully customized treatment plans built around your goals
- Find and fix the root cause — so the problem stays gone
- You're the only patient in the room during your session
- We get you back to your sport — stronger than before

Meet Your Therapist
DR. LEVAN AKOPOV — FOUNDER & LEAD THERAPIST
Levan obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from California State University, Northridge, and subsequently earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Marcos, California.
As a former amateur kickboxer and Muay Thai athlete, Levan faced several injuries that hindered his ability to compete in various tournaments during his youth. His deep passion for combat sports inspired him to pursue a career in strength and conditioning as well as sports medicine.
That personal experience gave him something most therapists don’t have — a deep understanding of what it means to have an injury take away the thing you love most. Whether it’s fighting, running, lifting, or simply being active, Levan knows what’s at stake for you.
Today, every session at Strike PT is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist. No aides. No rotating therapists. No shared appointments. You get his full expertise, his full attention, and a plan built specifically for your body and your goals.
