I am a water polo player and last year I developed pain in my throwing elbow, which completely shut down my throwing. I started seeing Adam and he had me back throwing pain-free after a couple of months. It’s been almost a full year now and I’m still throwing pain-free. As a fellow athlete, Adam really understood my needs. He not only focused on healing my injury, but he also addressed other weaknesses in my throwing arm. One of the great things about working with Adam is that I had 100% of his time and focus during our sessions. This is different than past experiences I’ve had with traditional clinics. I highly recommend working with Adam.

Adam is an excellent PT. His unique approach combining challenging but achievable exercises with massage has helped me improve flexibility, balance and strength. He is highly knowledgeable, encouraging and makes every session motivating. Having him come to my home is so convenient and results in treatment feel more personalized. I’d recommend Adam to anyone who is recovering from an injury or simply wants to improve mobility and endurance.

Adam is the best. After walking the Camino de Santiago, my feet were in pain for months. Adam used Stimpod therapy and in just three sessions I could finally stand without wincing. Highly highly recommend.

When my son tore his ACL in a lacrosse game, it was a scary experience. As a high-level athlete, his future in the sport was suddenly uncertain, and we knew that his recovery would require expert care and precision.I can't speak highly enough about my son's experience with Adam throughout his ACL rehabilitation. From day one, it was clear that he takes a highly personalized and scientific approach to physical therapy. Every session was one-on-one, which meant my son's progress was carefully monitored and each exercise was specifically tailored to his needs and recovery timeline.What really stood out to me was how detail oriented Adam is. Nothing slipped past his attention - form, mechanics, range of motion, strength asymmetries - everything was closely evaluated and adjusted in real time. The plan for my son wasn't based on guesswork, it was test-based, with regular assessments to track progress and make informed decisions about the next steps. Which gave me confidence that he was recovering the right way - not just fast, but safely and effectively.Thanks to Adam Shildmyer at Vertical Sports Physical Therapy my son has regained strength and confidence in his knee. He will be back on the field stronger, smarter, and more resilient than ever. I can't recommend him enough to anyone navigating the difficult path of ACL recovery - especially athletes who want to come back better than before.

Adam is remarkable. , i cannot recommend him highly enough. He is knowledgable, insightful and makes doing the hard work of PT easier with clear exercises, programs and protocols. He will take you from injured to excelling, and faster than you would imagine. I am grateful to have been introduced to him and i will use him both as a therapist for when i am injured and as a trainer for when i am ready to push myself.

Dr. Adam Shildmyer at Vertical Sports Physical Therapy:I had an excellent experience and healed quickly. He will travel to your home with all his equipment. He used a worldwide data base to help me understand how I ranked in strength and flexibility. It gave us a baseline and help identify areas of improvement. He didn’t just focus on my shoulder pain but my overall well-being.He is focused and effective.I think his background as a former college athlete and coach gives him unique insight into injury prevention and recovery. I’m 62 and have had many great physical therapists dealing with knees, hips, and my shoulder. If I had to choose, it would definitely be Adam. His expertise, and genuine care helped heal my shoulder so I could get back to my Barre 3 classes.I wish I was better at turning in my insurance paperwork!

Adam Shildmyer is by far the best physical therapist I’ve ever worked with - and it’s not even close. I’ve seen Adam multiple times over the past 8 years, and most recently after a serious back injury (made worse by an inexperienced PT) left me barely able to walk. I needed immediate help, and Adam was at my house the next day. The difference in quality of care was immediately obvious. His manual therapy techniques, methodology and deep technical knowledge of complex injuries are unmatched. It was a powerful lesson that you can’t just rely on a random list of PTs from a doctor’s office – there’s a reason pro athletes work with him too.

I had been dealing with a pinched nerve in my hip that caused severe pain and made it difficult for me to walk normally. Adam was incredibly thorough and quick to identify the issue. He provided me with a well-structured rehab plan that included strength training, hip mobility, and stretching exercises, which I now incorporate into my everyday routine. Thanks to Adam's expertise and the rehab plan, I haven’t experienced any pain in my hip since our visit. I’m so grateful for his help, and I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with similar issues!

Adam Shildmyer of Vertical Sports PT is absolutely the best around. He began working with my son after a his ACL/Meniscus repair surgery in Nov. 2023. My son was cleared to play football 9 months later and went on to earn the League MVP and then competed in basketball where he earned 1st Team All Conference! I am forever grateful for the incredible work that Adam did for my son to get him back doing what he loves!

Adam was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great TPI assessment!

2025-03-05T01:38:06.453Z

Adam helped our son recover from a knee injury sustained while playing hockey. Adam is supremely knowledgeable and talented. He had a great way of communicating with our son and with us. We will definitely be using him again for future PT needs.

Adam is the best! He is patient, kind and very knowledgeable. He has helped my three kids with sports injuries (basketball, volleyball and soccer) and they made full recoveries. I love the convenience of having Adam come to our home with our busy schedules. I highly recommend Adam!

I really appreciate Adam’s overall understanding of my lower back issues and the hands on approach he takes for recovery. We have been working together for a few months now and I am feeling so much more relief after many years of chronic pain. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a more personalized experience. Adam really takes his time to ensure I’m getting the correct therapy for long term healing.

Adam is an exceptional physical therapist! He helped me with a nagging, painful left shoulder which was keeping me from activities I love. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly. From the very first session, I felt confident in his expertise and approach. His friendliness makes every session feel welcoming and positive, making the entire recovery process so much more enjoyable. Adam is consistently on time, and if there’s ever a slight delay, he communicates promptly, which I truly appreciate. Additionally, he is quick to respond to any questions or scheduling needs. If you’re looking for a skilled, reliable, and personable PT, Adam is the one to see!"

Adam has been coming to my house to prepare me for a big surgery and also get me ready to come back to golf. He’s very professional always on time knows his stuff as exceptionally good doing table work.!

I had a phenomenal experience with Adam! After struggling with a recurring ankle injury for 5+ years, Adam's evaluation and support kick-started my recovery and helped me gain a full understanding of the injury itself. He is relatable, professional, and extremely good at what he does. I am truly so thankful for how he has helped me. I highly recommend Adam!

I recently tweaked my back lifting weights and was having difficulty sleeping, transitioning between sitting/standing/lying down and having sciatica pain. A friend highly recommended Adam and within 6 weeks I was feeling much better (in time for a long planned trip to Europe). His progression of exercises, bodywork and advice were super helpful, as well as his confidence that I'd be OK in time for my trip. Also loved that he came to my house for treatments which was super convenient. Highly recommend if you have anything going on in your body that you want to improve to perform at your best!

2024-08-25T01:23:32.015Z

Adam is the best-of-the-best in PT. His knowledge and expertise are impressive. Adam relieved bilateral tingling I was having in my arms along with radiating neck pain. In just a few weeks I was back to baseline and my usual workout routine. With my work schedule, it was so convenient having him come to my house. I highly recommend Adam and his excellent care!

Adam is a fantastic physical therapist, and I can't recommend him highly enough. I've seen him as a patient for multiple injuries since the end of 2017. He's helped me recover from lumbar radiculopathy, achilles tendonitis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, a rotator cuff injury, and ankle pain. When he worked for a PT clinic I'd have to wait up to 8 weeks to get an appointment - now it's possible to see Adam much sooner (managed to get a same-day appointment this past month).
