I worked with Dr. Joey for about 2 years and he helped me rehab through injuries that I sustained while playing soccer – ankle sprains, knee bursitis, etc. We did Blood Flow Restriction, dry needling, exercises, and soft tissue massages to help me not only with recovery but with strengthening as well. I currently play D1 soccer at the University of Missouri – Kansas City and am able to do so at a high level because of my work with Dr. Joey and Comeback Performance. I highly recommend Dr. Joey to anyone who is in need of physical therapy.

STOP THROWING TO WARM UP
Throwing to warm up is a common misconception in the baseball world. Due to the stresses placed on the elbow and shoulder with throwing, warm up activation exercises are key in helping prevent injuries and increasing blood flow to these areas.
This baseball warm up protocol will go over J band and mobility exercises that should be completed PRIOR to throwing.

Our son Aaron has a love of all sports but dedicates himself the most to baseball. He has already made plans to continue playing at the collegiate level. We first met Dr. Joey through a recommendation when Aaron was having shoulder pain and suddenly lost his velocity when throwing. Dr. Joey understands the mechanics of what the body is doing when throwing a ball. He knew exactly what happened to Aaron’s shoulder and through in person visits and PT “homework”, he had Aaron feeling great again. Then a couple years later Aaron had an unfortunate injury during basketball. He had a severe high ankle sprain and a fractured growth plate. With zero hesitation, we reached out to Dr. Joey. He worked intensely with Aaron to get him through the initial acute phase of the injury, and then ongoing rehab to get him back to baseline. He was cleared the day before baseball tryouts to run again! Aaron never would have been ready without Dr. Joey’s expertise. Dr. Joey understands athletes and very specifically baseball athletes. As an athlete you never expect to be taken out by an injury but know that it happens. We at least always had the security of knowing Dr. Joey was there and would know what to do. Our family would highly recommend Dr. Joe to anyone with PT needs! Best physical therapist in Brighton!
I can’t recommend Dr. Joey enough. He helped me recover from severe shoulder tendinitis on both shoulders and put on 50 pounds of weight on to my bench max from 225 to 275 in a couple months. I would have pain sitting in class and even driving and nothing seemed to help, I even had an MRI of both shoulders. He also taught me new stretches and workouts to help my shoulders stay healthy and provided me with the tools to do so. I’d highly recommend anyone to see Dr. Joey about any limitations or bodily injuries. Dr. Joey also video’d me doing back squats as well and found out why I was having low back pain. He then made a program to help with low back pain I was experiencing as well. Best physical therapy in Brighton!
When I ruptured my Achilles back in the summer of 2021 I was devastated. I knew I would have to have surgery and subsequently my road to recovery would be long and ambiguous. I didn’t know if I would get back to the activities that I once enjoyed. Funny enough I met Dr. Seyforth in CrossFit class and through our conversations found out that he was a physical therapist. On the spot he offered his time and services. He counseled me, instructed, and encouraged me in the 6 months we worked together. Dr. Seyforth was very committed in helping me restore the quality of my physical well being that I had once before. Besides that, Dr. Seyforth is an all around genuine person. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor to help me rehab and get back to the physical activities that I enjoy. Dr. Seyforth coaches CrossFit and understands the demands placed on the body and coached me through how to modify workouts so I was not missing time in the gym. Since working with Dr. Seyforth I have hit PR’s (personal best) in CrossFit class and am able to participate in sports and games once more. If you are wanting to restore and even eclipse the physical strength you once had, Dr. Seyforth is your guy. The proof is in the pudding! Best physical therapy in Brighton.
I am a high school catcher and play for Cobalt Baseball and I went to Dr. Joey because I was having issues in my squat depth. Dr. Joey found that I had limitations in my tibia and hip mobility, which impacted my mobility and squat depth as a catcher my entire baseball career. After only 3 sessions with Dr. Joey, I completely changed my squat form. I hit a new max squat of 355lbs, and Athletes and Trainers were shocked saying I had the deepest squat out of any of the other athletes. Dr. Joey guided me on what to do, showing me the why behind each exercise being shown. He created a game plan, having a program that changed weekly, allowing me to target areas where I needed work in my squat, completely changing it. He video recorded all of my exercises and made sure that I understood exactly what was needed to be done. Dr. Joey also would answer my texts immediately if I had any questions and would reach out in between sessions to make sure things were going according to plan. Best physical therapist in Brighton. If you are a baseball athlete Dr. Joey is the only person you should be seeing for baseball needs for physical therapy and baseball rehab/performance.
I originally went to Dr. Joey for physical therapy after bruising my ribs while playing soccer. My goal was to do rehab to prepare for an upcoming Spartan half marathon. After an evaluation, he also identified a lack of mobility in my left hip. We were able to address both simultaneously and the outcome was that my hip mobility increased a ton and I was able to compete in the race with no rib pain! I really appreciated Dr. Joey’s attention to detail, how he approached my injuries as a whole, and how he customized my treatment plan after I progressed faster than expected. I was given videos of my exercises to complete at home and he was very easy to get a hold of with a quick text message if I had any questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Joey to others and will be back if I require physical therapy in the future! Best physical therapist in Brighton.
Stop your search for a physical therapist right now. I came across Dr. Joey by doing what all us millennials do – scrolling Instagram reels. What made him stand out to me was how much content he is putting out for everyone to utilize at no expense. This right there had shown me this is someone who has a passion to help people. I then thought to myself hmm maybe he can help me with my issues I have while running. I currently was training to run a half marathon and it wasn’t going so well. My foot would go completely numb not even 2 miles in. From there it would shoot up my whole leg. I thought I was never going to actually run this half until Dr. Joey stepped in. I messaged him with a general question and he reached back out right away wanting more details. We set up a zoom call and instantly I was blown away. I described my pain and what was going on and Dr. Joey right away knew how to help me with my numbness/pain in my foot. He was so so informative – he even pulled up diagrams to show me which muscles / tendons were causing my issues. He took his time to guide me through multiple exercises/stretches to ease my pain i had. Even though our interactions weren’t in person I could see/feel how passionate he is about physical therapy and helping people. He made me feel so comfortable. I got all the help I needed right from the comfort of my living room. Demonstrating each exercise/stretch and stopping when I had any questions. We discovered that the arch of foot was weak and I needed to do exercises to strengthen it. The best part about it was I could do all these exercises from the comfort of my desk while working from home. We started working together back in January and now fast forward to April I have completed a half marathon with ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN. I honestly would quit my training if it wasn’t for Dr. Joey. So thank you Dr. Joey – I look forward to working with you on any other issues I have. I will also 100% be recommending him to all my friends for Telehealth and remote programming.
I originally came in to see Dr. Joey for physical therapy for some shoulder/neck pain I have been bothered by for most of my life. In our time together we worked on adjusting my posture and my shoulder mobility. After just a few sessions of different exercises and dry needling virtually all my pain in my shoulder has subsided. I still do the easy, at home exercises today if I feel it start to flare up. During this time I had also suffered a high ankle sprain that looked as if I would be out for the rest of the season. Dr. Joey and I were determined for me to get back on the soccer field so we bumped up to 2 sessions a week. At the start and end of each session we would measure the mobility of my ankle. Dr. Joey would carefully move around and stretch my ankle always being careful not to push my limits. Though he was careful not to overdo it, my sessions did get more and more challenging as I progressed. We went from assisted ankle movement to full on jumping from one foot to the other and doing soccer specific drills. I started noticing improvement almost immediately. It was super important to do the at home work that came along with PT too. I used the exercises he taught me while I watched tv or even while I was riding in the car. Dr. Joey constantly reinforced at home work and, though it was tedious, it helped excel my recovery immensely. Having someone as interested in your recovery as you are is really special. This kind of passion is needed in this field so I strongly recommend Dr. Joey at Comeback Performance to get you back on the field and even stronger than before. Best physical therapist in Brighton!
After suffering a shoulder injury, Dr. Joey worked with me to get me back to doing the things that I love. His personalized approach coupled with the effort he put into my treatment was something that I will always be grateful for. Dr. Joey is a true professional and someone I would recommend time and time again for anyone needing to see a top notch physical therapist. His approach to understanding the why behind an injury and being able to explain it so clearly is amazing. Being able to workout again changed my life and allowed me to take back control.

Hi i’m Max Weber and I was experiencing tightness in my shoulder and constant pain in my elbow while pitching during baseball. I tried to play through the pain and it just got worse. I set up an appointment with Dr. Joey and after his assessment he knew exactly what the problems were. Dr. Joey is a physical therapist who understands baseball and he took videos of me throwing, breaking down in detailed steps my throwing mechanics. The videos were showing me how my mechanics were affecting my body and he corrected it. After every appointment my arm always felt great and after 2 years i’ve never had that type of pain again. Dr. Joey is a very personable guy that i could always talk to about random things that came to my mind. Dr. Joey is the go to for any throwing related pain and helped keep me healthy for my high school baseball career.

I was having trouble with my upper bicep/shoulder on my left arm that was making it difficult for me to do simple things like lifting, playing catch with my son and grabbing things from the top shelf. I thought to myself I might need surgery or something but after my first visit with Dr. Joey he gave me hope that he could help me get my arm back to normal. I had sessions with him starting with simple stretches that he assigned for me to do at home to help with mobility, to then having me use bands to help with loosening up the muscle. We also tried dry needling which honestly I think helped find tension in other areas surrounding my shoulder like my back and chest where I had shifted my strength to when trying to use my arm. Dr. Joey specializes in working with shoulders and he allowed me to get back into the gym and lifting weights again. As we got to the end of my sessions I was able to use my arm and was no longer feeling the pain I once had. Dr. Joey’s techniques, knowledge and experience with arm/shoulder pain truly shows as I no longer have issues and has given me the confidence to lift weights again and lift smart. Best physical therapy in Brighton.
I first met Dr. Joey at a networking event. He mentioned he was hosting a shoulder pain workshop. I had shoulder pain so I went. There were 8 or so assessments he led the group in. I did terrible and failed the majority of the exercises. I decided to sign up for 10 sessions of physical therapy with Dr. Joey. Every session we would warm up and run through the exercises I was given from the previous week. Every now and then we would do dry needling with stim to get my muscles working right. Dr. Joey explained the exercises he is giving me addresses areas in my shoulder where I had in mobility and strength issues. Dr. Joey explained the why behind each exercise and spent time showing me how to do each movement correctly. He did a great job of focusing on the specific things that I needed and explained how every clients program is different depending on what they have going on and their specific goals. That’s how my shoulder program was different than the others that were in the workshop. After the 10 sessions, I got a Google spreadsheet with all the workouts we went over. Now whenever I start getting shoulder pain again, I open up the spreadsheet and work through the list again. I am so grateful I decided to pull the trigger on going to the shoulder workshop and signing up for PT program. It has saved me so much frustration with arm and shoulder strength and mobility. Best physical therapist in Brighton. Highly recommend Dr. Joey. I give him 5 stars and a high 5!
Dr. Joey is one of the best physical therapists out there! I’ve been working with him for almost a year now. I had a severe ankle sprain 3 weeks before my triathlon and CrossFit competition, Dr. Joey not only helped me recover for the running portion of the Triathlon but I was also able to get under heavy weight as well the following day for my competition. I highly recommend giving Dr. Joey a try he won’t let you down! I have coached CrossFit for years and send Dr. Joey crossfitters because I know he can help them and understands CrossFit and barbell movements. Best physical therapist in Brighton!
I can’t properly articulate the positive impact Dr. Joey had on my recovery from multiple surgeries. He is one of the best physical therapists that I have worked with over the years. Dr. Joey helped through PT sessions that allowed my body to heal and corrected all of the associated aches and pains. Dr. Joey also provided an in-depth daily routine which helped create strength again. Most importantly, though, was Dr. Joey’s ability to think of everything during my recovery. After a bone failed to heal after a fusion, of all the medical professionals I was seeing, Dr. Joey was the only person who suggested I have my vitamin D levels checked. My Vitamin D was low and I was able to correct it through supplements. This, in turn, allowed my fusion to take. Dr. Joey truly goes above and beyond as a therapist and I highly recommend him.
