About Us
Have you ever heard this from other providers?
"You'll never be able to play your sport again."
"Maybe you should stop running, it is bad for your knees."
"If you keep going, you'll develop arthritis and a total knee replacement may be in your near future."
If so, you've come to the right place.
Imagine:
- Knowing exactly what phase you are in your rehab process and objective goals to hit before advancing to the next phase.
- Having a step-by-step guide to address any aches and pains since rehab is never linear
- Not having to go through another wasted urgent care appointment just for them to tell you to "rest and ice it".
- Having a Doctor of Physical Therapy in your back pocket to answer any of your questions - and never wasting time on "Dr. Google"
Kim Manlangit, PT, DPT
Founder, Performance PT
After undergoing two ACL surgeries as a teenager (without EVER getting referred to physical therapy), Dr. Kim learned firsthand how broken our healthcare system is as a youth athlete. She worked for several years in a sports-specific insurance-based practice, but saw limitations within that system and started Lakás PT & Performance in 2022. Her main objective is to help every client that comes through the door regain the confidence to not only get past their injuries, but become a stronger, more resilient version of themselves.
