Our mission is simple — to be the guide in your story, helping Sacramento’s active movers restore movement and return to the lifestyle they love.

la·kás [noun] strength; force; vigor. (root word: Filipino)
 

Injuries can stop you in your tracks.  

Not just physically, but mentally. You're not able to join your weekly run club with friends. You're sidelined until the next season. That hiking trip you've been looking forward to? Postponed. The worst part? You've tried taking it easy, cutting back, or stopped altogether as your doctor suggested - but you know that won't cut it. Let Performance Physical Therapy at Lakás guide your next move.   

 

Your comeback story is not just physical - it's personal.

Ready to crush your 2026 fitness goals? Don’t let a week 2 injury sideline your progress. Here is how to build a routine that actually lasts. Starting a new fitness journey is exciting, but jumping from $0$ to $100$ is a recipe for burnout, or worse, a setback. Our Expert-Level Care is designed to bridge the gap between "getting started" and achieving Peak Performance. 1️⃣ Progressive Loading: If you're transitioning into field sports, start with cardio and tempo running before jumping straight into mini-sprints. Your hamstrings need time to adapt to new demands! 2️⃣ Consistency Over Intensity: Remember, two days at the gym is better than zero! You don't have to come out of the gate running at $100$% to see real results. 3️⃣ Listen to Your Body: Our Listen, Load, Live system ensures that we find the true source of any aches before they become show-stoppers. Sustainable progress is about playing the long game. We’re here to help the Sacramento community build a foundation of strength and resilience that lasts all year. Ready to start your journey with a proven plan? You can get started with us at any time! Book your Free Discovery Call today and let's build the healthiest version of you.

Does chronic pain always mean tissue damage? Think again. If you’ve been told you just have to "live with" it, we’re here to debunk the biggest myth in rehab. When your low back or knees have been stiff and achy for months, your brain becomes hyper-sensitive to the pain.

At Lakas, our mission is to help you Find Strength in Your Story by teaching your brain that movement is safe again. 1️⃣ The Brain-Body Connection: Chronic pain is often your nervous system’s way of protecting you from a perceived danger that isn't always there. 2️⃣ Desensitizing the Response: Our Expert-Level Care focuses on progressive exposure to movement in a safe, controlled way. 3️⃣ Beyond the Scan: We look at your whole story, your goals, your lifestyle, and your athletic dreams to bridge the gap between "getting by" and PEAK PERFORMANCE. You don't have to stay stuck in a loop of fear and restriction. It’s time to move toward a stronger, pain-free 2026.CTAReady to reset your "fire alarm"? You can get started with us at any time!

Frustrated with healthcare? You are not alone.

  • You're not getting actionable goals on how to get better each week.
  • You've been told to stop doing what you love to do.
  • You've been told you need surgery but you want to avoid that route, if possible.

 

Healthcare should be individualized to your needs. Work with a provider who will listen to your story - uninterrupted - and help get you results you're looking for.

Now It's Your Move

How long have you allowed a false narrative to dictate your recovery? How much time has been wasted from lack of direction? When will you stop letting pain dictate what you can do?
