FIND STRENGTH IN YOUR STORY 

PHYSICAL THERAPISTS FOR AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE IN SACRAMENTO

 

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.

Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t 😤 Jose came into see us early this year after suffering through a quad strain for most of last year. We created a plan based on his baseline tests, tracked progress weekly and made small tweaks to his plan of care based on how he was feeling each time he came in. Once he no longer had pain, over the course of 4 months, he 📈 increased his L quad strength max from 93 lb to 205 lb 🤯 📈 jumped to hitting the 90th percentile within his age group on quad strength 📈 returned to sprinting and playing soccer 3x/week pain free This is what performance rehab should look like in 2025. Data drives decision making - not some outdated protocol. If yours doesn’t look like this, hit the link in our bio for a free 15 min consultation. 🔝 - #sacramento #eastsac #aclrehab #lowback #quadstrain #physicaltherapy #eastsacramento #performance #sportsPT #returntosport #kneerehab#returntoplay #soccer

Ever wondered what “graduation day” from PT looks like? At @lakasptp - it’s shared decision making based on how you feel, your confidence level to get back to your sport, and what our objective numbers show. Plus we make sure we don’t leave you hanging - and you have an exact game plan for how to continue your progress outside of the lab 🧪 We helped Mav with his ACL rehab and successfully returned to basketball. He had a minor ankle sprain more recently and due to consistent testing through the course of his previous rehab with us, we were able to quantify his “best self” when it comes to performance testing - to ensure the ankle sprain doesn’t slow him down when he gets back on the court 🏀 Think we’re the right fit for you?

We’ve been seeing a trend with the people who find us lately and it’s concerning.. ➡️ they’ve been “discharged” from in network PT but still having issues with their pain when it comes to high level activities ➡️ they’ve been plateauing at the same clinic with little to no improvement ➡️ they’ve been googling or youtubing exercises on their own ➡️ they’re no longer in pain and want to get back to [insert sport here] but don’t know the first steps how. We take pride in our model of performance physical therapy. Each session is treated like a training ground where we can test different mobility, strength and energy system capacities to make sure that you’re moving along through our rehab continuum. There’s no quick fix to this. Good, solid, progressive rehab and training works. You just need a provider who has time, attention to detail to work with you and can map out where you are in your process and guide you through the next phases. Think we’re the right fit for you?

Happy 1 year work anniversary dr. @ankita.roy.dpt 🙌🏽 Ankita has been the ultimate team player at @lakasptp since Day 1. She’s just as passionate about treating the person in front of her as she is with picking up her body weight (and then some) in weights. She embodies what @lakasptp is all about when it comes to our values in community, living a healthy work/life balance, and movement as a core principle. We’re stoked to celebrate her and see her continue to grow into year ✌🏽! Show your ❤️ in the comments if Ankita has helped you out this year!

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?
