Ames Performance Physical Therapy is a movement-focused physical therapy practice in Ames, Iowa, built on the belief that movement is medicine. The clinic helps patients return to daily activities and recreation with care aimed at identifying and treating the root cause of pain rather than only managing symptoms. Its approach combines manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling, and massage to support pain relief, restore function, improve movement mechanics, and promote a confident return to activity. Led by Megan Burt, PT, DPT, and supported by Molly Nichols, PT, DPT, the practice emphasizes active, sustainable rehabilitation connected to performance, fitness, and everyday life.
