Who is Fine Tuned Performance?

Fine Tuned Performance and Rehabilitation was created to serve individuals who want to go above and beyond their goals for functional living and performance in the gym, on the field, or in daily life.

We believe every patient who walks in our doors deserves to be listened to, given our undivided attention, and most importantly, provided with excellent care.

It is important that your clinician is an expert in what you love doing the most. Having a provider who knows the ins and outs of your passion is crucial to achieving top-tier outcomes.

We pride ourselves on having that topic-specific expertise because we live and breathe a fitness-forward lifestyle ourselves. Our model revolves around keeping you as the first priority.

You’ll always be guaranteed 1-on-1 time with a doctor of physical therapy for your session.

Whether you have an injury that needs to be addressed to get you back to full function or you have a performance goal that seems just out of reach, you can rest assured you will receive a game-plan tailored specifically to your needs.

We also believe in transparency with our services. We are an out-of-network provider. This means no surprise insurance bills. No third-party dictating what type of treatment you're allowed to receive. Just high quality care from a professional with clear, up-front costs. Most of all, we're excited to meet you and facilitate you reaching your goals.

Fine Tuned Performance and Rehabilitation is the Best of Georgia in 2024!
