I worked with Dr. Brian for neck, shoulder and hip pain and am super happy with the results. Within two weeks I felt relief in my neck and my headaches stopped after years of chronic issues. He listened to all my concerns and worked with me if something didn't feel right. Highly recommend!

Colton has been so amazing to me and my partner! My partner got into a bad accident and Colton has really gone above and beyond to help him get properly back to normal. Most people would just crack his back and not care but Colton has done everything to make sure he’s recovered. It has gone so well with my partner that I started seeing Colton as well because I still have pain/nerve/back problems from a previous accident. I’ve only seen Colton about 5 times now and I have seen mass improvements. I’m finally not scared that I’ll move the wrong way and cause my injury to flare up. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Very clean and welcoming space at FPI. Came here for the first time last week and Dr. Colton Korne is an amazing practitioner. He did some great work with his hands and shared some valuable information to help keep me moving well. Highly recommend him and FPI to anyone who values their body, wants to move better, and be around professionals who actually listen to you and genuinely care.

Earlier this year I started experiencing lower back pain that gradually worsened as I started framing a new home with a lot of roof work. My pain continued to worsen and eventually transitioned into inner hip pain and pain numbness and tingling wrapping around my leg and traveling all the way down even to my feet. I lost almost all my strength in my dominant leg and was in pain 24/7 and to the point that it was interrupting my sleep etc. After being referred to another DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) at the Sports and Family Medicine practice I had gone to for years, my condition worsened and I became more immobilized. The doctor I was referred to was unable to give me any insight into the causes of the numbness and tingling or pain and prescribed bedrest and anti-inflammatories. My condition worsened as my muscles became stiffer, tighter and my pain increased. This doctor wanted me to take an MRI but I had very limited trust in their abilities as they provided zero diagnosis and was unable to answer any of my questions at my visit. I did my own research into my symptoms and began to look for health care providers that would be able to address the nerve pain and numbness along with the back pain, muscle and mobility issues I was experiencing. I came across Functional Performance Institute and reached out to them and Julia from the front office scheduled at free phone consult with Dr. Colton. I learned more about what could be causing these issues. Dr. Colton asked questions and was very thorough into investigating what I was experiencing and was confident he had a grasp on what was causing the issues and invited me to a free evaluation with Dr. Brian where they confirmed and zero-ed in on my symptoms to provide a diagnosis that actually made sense to me a correlated with what I was experiencing and all without having to do an MRI! When I first visited FPI I was in extreme pain 24/7. I was unable to bend down to tie my shoes, put on socks, pants, etc. It was like I lost all the functionality of my dominant leg. I could barely walk and going up and down stairs (or ladders) without the aid of a crutch or rail was a gamble. I couldn't sit down for any period of time without experiencing severe pain in my lower back and I couldn't even find comfort lying down. I also had the unique issue of being unable to take off work as I am self-employed and had to keep working to pay bills and for the care I was seeking. Dr. Brian worked with me and continued to adjust my treatment and Physical Therapy training program to make sure I could continue to work while encouraging recovery and the reduction of pain, numbness and tingling. Unlike other traditional PT settings that can be very dry and stale ... Dr. Brian created a very warm and fun environment and injected humor into what was otherwise a very challenging experience. I was given PT homework and exercises to do in between visits, and Dr. Brian also provided advice on some self care tools I could purchase to use at home to help with the symptoms and insight on how to use them to achieve some relief in between visits. Dr. Colton, Dr. Brian and Julia seem to genuinely care and be invested in their patients and getting them back into good health and back to their activities and preventing recurring injuries. From my initial phone consult with Dr. Colton and moving forward ... I felt that FPI really listened, was genuinely concerned with my well being and really took the time to investigate and properly diagnose what was happening to me and provide a thorough treatment and recovery plan for me. A few months ago I was very worried I would lose my vocation and be unable to continue my work as a contractor. Today it's like I never skipped a beat and I'm back and stronger than before and also being more mindful on job sites to make sure I am moving properly and carrying tools and materials more efficiently and effectively to prevent future injuries, especially as I age in this industry. Thanks Dr. Colton, Dr. Brian and Julia!
