ATHLETES WHO CAME BACK STRONGER than ever

Real stories from athletes who trusted us with their comeback and exceeded their goals.

Kinetic is a leader in the Milwaukee area when it comes to Sports Medicine and I highly recommend anyone to go here for treatment. They helped to not only heal my injury, but also set me up with a routine to improve my overall health through fitness.

Nathan Shimp

Dr. Sidney had incredible insight and the tools to help me with 10+ years of low back pain and spasms. I left with a wealth of knowledge should problems arise again. It’s also a physical workout, not just stretching so you can get your body moving again!

Tara Sonnenberg

Michael treated me after ACL repair surgery. He paid careful attention to my post-surgery goals and built a robust recovery plan around them. Michael made recovery fun by actively participating in physical therapy sessions and providing honest feedback and positive encouragement. Even early in the process he treated me like an athlete; now I am 8 months out and I feel stronger than I have in years!

Anna Richardson

My daughter, Kate, is a high school varsity runner and was having hamstring and IT/knee issues for months when we switched to Dr. Lauren Falk for Kate’s physical therapy in early September. Kate was essentially not able to put much weight on her leg at all after an issue during their first race of the season and Lauren was able to address the causes and provide solutions to effectively get my daughter back to racing at a very high level within 7 weeks time. I have been amazed by the level of knowledge and expertise we have received while at Kinetic Sports Medicine and would definitely recommend Dr. Lauren to others!

Lisa Sperka

I am working with Dr. Lauren on rehab, recovering from a running injury. And I have had an incredible experience! Not only is it a friendly environment but the specific personalized lifting, at home exercises and treatment have sped along my recovery while also fixing form flaws that I’ve been struggling with for years! I was even able to salvage the end of my season while still keeping my whole wellbeing at the foremost importance! I couldn’t be happier with this experience and certainly couldn’t have run this season without her! I would highly recommend their services to anyone who is dealing with an injury!

Kate Sperka

Michael helped my with my patellar tendinitis that I had been previously struggling with for two years and I now go to him for any injury I have.

Austin Scoville

Dr Lauren is very professional and great to work with! Helped me recover quickly from my injury without ever having to completely stop my workouts. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a specific injury or just soreness, she is knowledgeable and offers many modifications.

Megan Crow

Dr. Lauren Falk is incredibly kind & attentive. She took the anxiety away from an injury consultation, and ensured I understood what is/could have contributed to my injury. I will be back and would 100% recommend her to my friends and family!

Zach Fugate

Wonderful experience and results! Michael was able to pinpoint the issue with my son’s hip and prescribe a set of exercises that very quickly resolved the problem and got him back up to peak performance! Highly recommend!

Tim Hapeman

I worked with Dr. Brett to resolve my ITB pain and strengthen while I train for distance running. After 8 weeks, I had increased in strength and output for all areas tested!

Brianna Odette

I came in a few months ago with some left knee pain. I'm a regular CrossFitter, and I'd been having some problems with any sort of squat movements, which we do a lot of. I originally met with Lauren, but she referred me to Brett instead, given his background with the Olympic lift movements we often do in CrossFit. It was a great experience. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue as an irritated IT band as a result of a hip shift during squats. He gave me a number of warm-up exercises to open and strengthen my left hip before working out, and the pain cleared up in no time at all. After just a few sessions, both Brett and I felt comfortable not meeting for future appointments and simply having me continue the exercises he prescribed. I'd highly recommend Kinetic to anyone dealing with any sort of discomfort or pain.

Brandon Haan

Everyone at Kinetic has been a major part of my athletic journey the last 4 years. They are very easy to work with and are passionate about helping you reach your goals. I would recommend them to anyone.

Ryan Roehl

Mike and Brett were very very helpful and very very knowledgeable with treating my son's partially torn UCL! We got started with Michael and was grateful enough to be one of Brett's newer clients. We couldn't have asked for a better physical therapist in Brett who really cared for my son's arm and any other injuries my son may have gotten during the few years with him. If my son ever has another setback injury we'll go right back to Kinetic and their team of professionals.

Jason Romens

As a coach and a "former" athlete the team at Kineticsmp has changed the way I work out personally and design training for my team. Their experience and drive to be the best at what they do shines is every way. If you're willing to do the work it takes to improve, they will provide the manual! Show up ready to learn and grow.

Lance Matthews

I came to Dr. Michael Falk after trying every rehab treatment and exercise for my throwing shoulder. I had not felt the same since my surgery in 2018. Dr. Falk and I had a great conversation and a plan to get me back to doing what I love as a collegiate baseball player. Within two months I was throwing at 100% effort pain free, something I doubted I would ever experience again. I cannot thank Dr. Falk enough for getting me back to onto the field and allowing me to enjoy baseball again.

zach asik

I went to Kinetic after straining a muscle in my calf playing basketball. Brett was able to help diagnose the extent of my injury and put me on a plan to get back to playing. The process was smooth and the recovery went well under his guidance. Thanks Brett!

Mark Dorlack

I love the personalized attention, the pedigree of the therapists and, most of all, the progress I’ve made in a very short time thanks to the expertise. Highly recommend!

Mike Malatesta

I’ve been working with Michael for most of this year after being introduced to him by Josh Koch. It’s been an absolute pleasure doing remote training with him. Not only am I getting stronger and my swing speed is up, my body also feels great week in and week out. Michael’s training philosophy and methodology has positively impacted my golf and I’m very grateful for working with him. Highly recommend him and Kinetic Sports to anyone looking to improve themselves!

Victor A-V

Awesome experience. Knowledgeable, professional and caring. Michael tailored the treatment to my specific needs. Recommend without reservation!

Steven Merkow

Lauren and her team are amazing! They listen to your every need and concern before they begin treatment. Lauren's knowledge and innovative techniques are beyond compare. She shares this with her whole team so that everyone gets the best treatment. You cannot find a better team or facility.

Colleen Michaud

10/10 recommend! I specifically chose to pursue PT at Kinetic Sports Medicine when I learned they specialized in athletes, even though I am well beyond collegiate running at this point. When I first arrived, I had no diagnosis for sharp knee pain that plagued me for several months. I had the pleasure of working with Lauren. Lauren assessed, managed pain, referred, and worked alongside me through a partial menisectomy and beyond to develop a tailored training plan. She is amazing at her job and so much fun to work with! Even during peak COVID, it was always Lauren herself who continued to run our sessions via video call. After completing my treatment Lauren continued to reach out to check in. The follow up beyond the initial recovery is something special-you don’t fall through the cracks. At Kinetic they truly help you develop and maintain your goals.

Sarah H

Lauren is amazing! I brought my 15 year old daughter to Kinetic because of hip flexor pain while training for her cross country season. Lauren is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also truly cares for her patients. She always explained to us the reasoning behind the PT activities my daughter would have to do, spent more than enough time with my daughter and would check up on her when not in session. The app we were able to download was also helpful. My daughter was able to connect with Lauren while not in session and was able to follow along with the videos Lauren posted for her so she could properly do the activities. Lauren’s recovery plan worked so well my daughter was able to compete, injury free, throughout the season. I highly recommend Kinetic!

Katrina Beeck

I have had a nagging back issue for months that has taken me away from my favorite sports. Michael assessed my situation and built a program to strengthen and stretch areas that apparently needed work. The software is slick with videos to remind you how to do the exercises and it helps keep you on track. It has been over 3 months and I am back to full sports involvement and haven't had a back issue since.

Robert Falk

After trying many different methods, including cortisone shots, to help with my lower back pain, it wasn't until working with Lauren that I finally got relief. Lauren did a thorough evaluation and discovered that my lower back pain could be greatly reduced or even completely gone by retraining my muscles to do their correct job. As the body gets injured or lazy, it takes the path of least resistance, but that means parts of your body start to do what it is not meant to do, creating havoc. After following Lauren's program I am now 99% pain free and I don't even really think about my back unless I am doing something extreme, and then I know it's all on me because my form starts to take a backseat. I am very much more body aware now more than ever. You do have to stick to the program and do your exercises, there is no magic pill, but it is so worth it in the end.

Kathy Bilansky

I have been working with Lauren and Micheal for 3 years now after meeting them through my high school. I am division 1 student athlete and having them as a recourse and support team over the years has helped me with my strength and recovery from serval over use injuries. They are extremely knowledgeable and are always up to date on current research and best practice. They do a great job of educating their clients so we can stay strong and healthy.

Elyse Horner

I highly recommend Dr.Lauren at Kinetic Sports Medicine. She spent additional time with me to explain the reasons for my foot injury. In less than one month my foot was stronger and pain was minimal. Dr.Lauren is very personable and is so knowledgable. I appreciated her approach of having me work on the new exercises she prescribed and spacing out my appointments in 3-4 week intervals. And of course, she is upfront with regards to the patients responsibility to complete her prescribed exercises. Using their app was very user friendly. Was nice to be able to watch the exercise videos to refresh what she went over in our sessions. I definitely will tell friends and family to see Dr.Lauren for any PT needs.

Sue Hoormann

Mike and the whole Kinetic family is truly a one of kind compared to other PT’s. Working with Mike was the best decision I personally made for my baseball career and now back throwing a baseball after a 2nd shoulder surgery. Can’t thank him enough for truly caring about goals and all the help around!

Steven Diderrich

I worked with Brett Fertsl in rehabbing a knee injury I suffered while playing soccer. I was thrilled with my experience working with Kinetic Sports Medicine and Performance and will highly recommend their service for anyone searching for physical therapy. They have access to best-in-class tools allowing for quantitative measurement of progress as well as experience and expertise with athletes across a variety of sports. Not only do I feel confident that I'll be returning to my sport with my knee at 100%, but it is likely that my time spent with Brett transformed me into a better athlete than I was even before my injury.

Nate Sampson

Thank you Kinetic Sports Medicine! Dr. Michael and Lauren Falk were excellent at outlining a great workout plan to return to play. I was rehabbing from a broken foot and they took great care in helping me walk and golf again pain-free. They have such incredible experience and explain everything clearly and help you get back stronger than before. They have worked with athletes of the highest levels of professional and collegiate sports. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to rehabilitate an injury or help return to a sport or activity without pain!

Nick Falk

Before coming to Kinetics, I had been dealing with knee pain for all of my high school basketball career as well as my first two seasons of college ball. After going to Kinetics for just one summer I was seeing drastic improvements. After just one summer I have had little to no issues with my knees. I cannot thank Michael and Lauren enough for the help they gave me and genuinely caring about my wellbeing! Such a great experience!

Mary Seegers

Had such a great friendly experience with highly knowledgeable therapists, Brett Ferstl helped me to recover completely from my injury and better, played best golf and tennis afterwards, lost some weight too and toned up my muscles and still have the app to look at all my exercises and keep it up while I’m traveling, will highly recommended to use them for any injuries!!!!

Stephanie O’Malley

Choosing to go with Kinetic for my rehab and return to sport protocol after my knee injury was the best decision I made in my process to getting back to the athlete I was, and becoming a better one during the process. Highly recommend this team of highly knowledgeable and caring people. They truly do want the best for their patients.

Eli Hoyt

Dr. Lauren provided rehab PT for my two high school athletes. She was thorough in her knowledge and constructed specific, innovative exercise programs for them. It is the most extensive PT, they have ever received. They are back to enjoying their sports.

Roger or Carmen Martens

Support from Dr. Brett and the Kinetic team from day 1 of my ACL/Meniscus injury has been incredible. His passion for strength, movement and ACL rehab paired with his ability to connect and teach were instrumental in my first few months after injury and surgery. Every injury/person is different and this group will provide a tailored recipe for success to get you back, better than you started.

Lance Matthews

Dr. Sydney treated my bad ankle sprain with precision and perfection. I am so thankful I found Kinetic and would never go anywhere else for injury treatment. They were so knowledgeable and willing to try everything to ensure I got back to 100% - I wouldn't recommend anyone other sports medicine professionals, Kinetic was truly amazing!

Faith Nosek

I highly recommend Kinetic and Sydney Cope, who helped me recover from a bad muscle strain and get back to running within weeks! Dr. Sydney is a runner and immediately understood my injury, and she had an excellent plan for daily exercises and gradually increasing activity. Kinetic also has high-tech equipment and conducted a running form analysis, which provided super helpful information. Kinetic will be the first place I go for any injuries in the future, and thanks for helping me recover and return to running!

Scott Allen

Brett was extremely knowledgeable, professional and understanding. Our son was able to return to play and more importantly he learned alot from Kinetic Sports for treatment and prevention. Highly recommend.

Michelle Wiberg

Our daughter had ACL reconstruction and worked with other therapists initially. At 6 months we knew we needed a more comprehensive approach to safely get back to sports. We found Kinetic online and made an appointment with Sydney. Sydney was able to make a connection with our daughter on the very first day and that helped our daughter buy into the treatment process and timeline for healing. The education Sydney provides on what areas she needs to strengthen and WHY it needs to be stronger is very helpful. The various testing equipment used to assess strength, jumping, and running form is top notch and provides great feedback and goals. Sydney challenges our daughter at every session and gives great guidance between sessions with the exercise app or via email if needed. Strength training, sport specific drills, psychological testing to make sure she was ready, and return to play recommendations have all allowed her to get back as safe as possible to not only playing sports but performing at a high level that she expects of herself! Kinetic holds their therapists to high standards that allows them to provide high levels of care to patients that are athletes!

Sarah Konzak

Kinetic has a very knowledgeable, personable and friendly team! I took my 13 year old son in to work with Sydney for a hamstring injury where he couldn't straighten his leg and within 3 weeks, he was back to 100% and back on the football field, baseball field and basketball court! Sydney was awesome with my son and gave him at home exercises through an app that allowed him to do the work on his own when he wasn't with her. I recommend Kinetic for any sports rehab or for strengthening or mobility to prevent injuries.

Brian Staude

After having surgery on my shoulder from several dislocations, I knew there was no other team I wanted to trust. Since my first day, I knew Dr.Michael Falk would get me back to playing hockey confidentially. Taking our time to ensure that we don't go too quick to run the risk of re-injury was very important to me, and Dr.Falk made a plan that would work best for me. Every time I went into the office, I was excited to be there because I enjoyed being there, and I knew that I was one session and one day closer to being back on the ice. Watching this team grow over the years has been one of my favorite things to watch, and I can't wait to see where they go next!

Lucas French

"Our 15 year old son suffered a spontaneous lung collapse. After successful surgery to re-inflate his lung we were baffled as to how to help him get on with his life - in particular, how to get back to soccer. He was terrified that he might do something to cause his lung to collapse again. His soccer coaches suggested we contact Kinetic, and with the blessing of our son's surgeon the therapists at Kinetic creatively designed a plan of therapy uniquely for him which steadily advanced him but always used his heartrate as a guide. We are beyond impressed with these people, and I hope you will understand when I say that we would like to never need their services again but when LIFE happens we will be calling on them!"

Catherine Tanner

I loved my experience working with Sydney! She helped me get ready for my collegiate season by making sure my foot was in peak condition post surgery!

E. H

A huge thank you to Kinetic Sports Medicine and Performance, and Dr. Sydney Cope! Sydney's program allowed me to get back to competition quickly and in better shape than I had been prior to my injury. Her expertise is also helping to improve a chronic injury I've been dealing with for quite some time. Her thoughtful and logical approach to rehabilitation as well as her upbeat personality and positive outlook has been a blessing in my return to and continuation of my sport.

Amy Fix

Doctor Sydney helped me through a stress fracture. She pushed me hard but made sure to always play it safe and she is the reason I was able to physically overcome my injury and be the athlete I am today! She comes to my games and I stay in contact with her as well because she was an outstanding trainer!

Chloe B

Kinetic is transformational for patients looking to receive physical therapy. I am so pleased with my experience and absolutely loved the therapist I worked with. Highly recommend!

Brooke Master

Highly recommend! While insurance is not accepted, I found it more appealing since it allowed the provider flexibility to tailor a program for my son. Friendly & easy to schedule, Dr Brett and his team were great. The best part my son was still able to be active while rehabilitating his arm! Thank you!

Melissa Rudolph

Kinetic is a fantastic place to go if your an athlete in any sport looking to get back into the game after an injury of any kind. Whether your in middle school, at the collegiate level, or in your older years, kinetic can help. The PT's at Kinetic have a vast knowledge of the human movement system so that you as an athlete are moving with your maximum performance capabilities once again. Kinetic will help you be ready to take on the challenges that your sport and active lifestyle brings your way!

Elias Audley

I can't say enough about what an outstanding Physical Therapist Lauren Falk is. Lauren has been treating me for back pain for the last 1.5 years. I met with an orthopedic surgeon and a neurosurgeon who both discussed surgery. Lauren has helped me rehab and make incredible progress that I don't feel I need surgery at this time. I am grateful for her professionalism, skill, and compassion.

Joan Kiely

I started to work with Michael Falk four months ago and was not able to walk more than 20 yards without back and hip pain. Michael has given me a back & hip exercise routine and I am now playing 18 holes of golf with much less pain.

Robert Mallow

Really impressed with staff knowledge, and commitment to treatment. I had a complex shoulder strain. They prescribed treatment and exercises that had me improving each week. Thanks

Michael Morrison

I appreciated the attention to detail of the doctor I worked with. The initial and final evaluation were also awesome. The workout sessions were great too.

Dr Richard

Paige Graham is the best physical therapist I have ever visited. I had eight knee surgeries when I was younger and have seen numerous physical therapists so I have some experience. I saw her for therapy after a rotator cuff surgery . Her excellent communication and expert knowledge makes the process much more effective and enjoyable. I actually looked forward to going to physical therapy because each time I learned something new and made such good progress. To anyone needing to choose a physical therapist I would recommend Paige without any reservations.

Joseph Reed

PT at Kinetic’s was my best PT experience ( I’ve had PT several other places before finding Kinetics) Sydney and Paige, did an awesome job at listening to why I was there, and developed rehab program to meet my goals. Their level of expertise and knowledge is high quality. The home exercises and use of the Kinetics app supported the in person PT sessions. I will return if I need additional PT( even I have an hour drive one way-it’s worth it). I definitely recommend Kinetics Sports Medicine

Nancy TeBeest

Kinetic is the most in depth care I have ever received. Lauren has so much care for all her patients and is always a light in my day!!!

Clare Sperka

I’ve been with Kinetic for multiple years. I started due to an injury, and after that injury resolved, stayed to invest in my body: both in building strength and injury prevention. I can honestly say that Kinetic’s services have changed my life. In my thirties, I feel better than I did at 17. My posture, snowboarding skills, injury, and running form have all improved beyond measure. I haven’t had any lower back pain in over a year. Truly, I can’t recommend this enough. Invest in yourself.

Hillary Tamar

I came to Kinetic after going through a significant hip surgery. After trying other places, the team helped me to achieve many mobility and quality of life milestones that have already paid for themselves! With the one on one sessions and state of the art facilities, I would highly recommend Kinetic for anyone trying to recover from a sports injury.

Ben Ewings

I worked with Brett following ACL surgery and would highly recommend them for physical therapy. They go above and beyond for their patients

Emmett Loew

Amazing people. Made for athletes!

Zach Poker

Andrew is the best! Pushed me on my ACL recovery the best way he could and I feel 100% from it

Breno Oliveira

Had recent back surgery and I had heard great things about Kinetic Sports Performance for rehab. I worked with both Michael and Paige who really tailored a great program for me. I have made great gains and have been given the right instructions and direction to continue. my program. Appreciated everything so. Golf is a sport I really love and I’m looking forward to getting back at it… Weather permitting :-)

Steven Merkow

Dr. Lauren Falk is incredible. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care. She takes the time at each appointment to listen to my concerns and goals. As an aging athlete, who swam competitively in college, I noticed a decreased range of motion and shoulder pain. Under the guidance of Dr. Falk, I have been able to compete again at a national level and continue to enjoy the sport I love. Dr. Falk not only addressed my immediate needs, but she also started me on a targeted strength training exercises that vastly improved my athletic performance. I highly recommended Dr. Falk and Kinetic Sports Medicine and Performance.

Michelle McCarthy

Hands down best physical therapy I have ever experienced! I personally have been working with Dr Brett Ferstl and Paloma- beyond knowledgeable of their craft. Between the work I’m putting in and their guidance, my expectations have been exceeded. Beyond grateful for my results!

Jessie Swanson

The therapists at Kinetic Sports Medicine and Performance are not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill PTs. They are the absolute best around. My favorite local running shoe store recommended them to me originally several years ago and I was blown away by the depth of knowledge and tools they have to not only accurately get to the root of issues but also by their methods of solving those issues to safely return people to activity/sport. They are more well-read on the latest studies than the orthopedic doctors we have seen and they are much more innovative and spot-on than any other PTs we've worked with. Since first getting help myself and being able to resume running when I thought that running was just not in the cards anymore for me, several of my children (military special ops, college football, D1 basketball, and high school football) have been helped by them with various injuries and we all trust each one of their staff members explicitly. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. They are THE BEST!

Carrie Jensen

I have worked with multiple PTs at Kinetic for various injuries including a torn ACL, and they have provided incredible care and personalized care plans in order to truly get you to where you want to be. Because of Kinetic I am now able to play high level sports again and feel completely confident doing so.

Maddy Jensen

Kinetic is great! I worked with PT Bri, she is fantastic! She took the time to work through my strength imbalances. I appreciate her knowledge and building out a program that fits my needs.

Kim Dunker

Great trainers, and great location. Helped my son a bunch!

Adam Biondich

We have had many experiences all positive at Kinetic in Delafield. My son plays high level competitive soccer and was seen for knee, hip and IT Band issues, each time he was assessed properly for each unique injury and never received the same treatment twice. That is what I love most about Kinetic is that they focus on each individual and their injury and create a plan that is reasonable and pushes the individual to be better than before injury upon return. It isn't a set run of exercises because of a particular injury like other PT places. At Kinetic they go above and beyond to know the patients and get their goals and heal their injuries so that they do not return with similar injuries in the future. All of the staff is very knowledgeable and very current on sports injuries. I will always trust them to help my athletes!

Katie Daubert

Hannah is awesome, honestly so happy I started coming in, I’ve had foot pain for a while and I’m starting to come out the other side.

Caiti Brownell

Working with Dr. Jeff has been really great. He has done a great job of customizing a program that has been easy to fit into my day to day, and I am feeling the results from all we are doing. Strongly recommend this versus some of the traditional PT and places I have gone to.

Brian Wichinski

I'm a lifelong active female who loves to keep moving! When a chronic muscle strain that just wouldn't go away slowed me down, I turned to Bri at Kinetic Sports Medicine and Performance. Thanks to her expertise, and understanding my specific issues and goals, I'm back to rock climbing, pickleball, hiking, and pretty much anything else I decide I need to do! But it's not just about the exercises, therapies, and evaluations we do together at Kinetic at our appointments. I go home with AHE, or At Home Exercises I continue at home, and go back to as needed to stay healthy in between. There's even an app to guide me through and track my progress. I couldn't ask for a better PT experience!

Amy Oaks

Great facility. Well trained staff. Science based investigation of issues and results based therapy. Highly recommend.

Albert Zambito

This place has been great for my family. They came highly recommended to me , and three of us have benefited from their services. From nagging aches, injury recovery and prevention they have been very accommodating. Everyone is knowledgeable and I’ve really appreciated them keeping us being able to do the things we love!
