SEE WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

My home gym, Snap Fitness (Mt Orab), hosted a shoulder workshop by Jesse Mehring, Superior Physiotherapy & Perfromance a few months ago. I ended up scheduling a visit with him for a work up of some issues I was having. He spent the time watching my body mechanics in a detailed way that no other clinician had in the past. I was convinced by the end of that visit to sign on for a plan, the best thing I have done in a long time for my physical health. Within a couple I could see the difference with my pain scale. Now, on a daily basis, my pain scale doesn't even register. I know that I must continue to be diligent and take the necessary steps to stay pain free but Jesse has given me all the necessary steps to stay pain free but Jesse has given me all the necessary tools to do that. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is experiencing pain, pain is not normal, you can live pain free. Pain free is liberating.

I came to see Dr. Jesse after running out of options from an ongoing shoulder injury. The pain has been getting progressively worse over time and I was not sure if I would ever be able to lift heavy again. At my first visit, we did some tests to try and figure out the source of my pain and narrowed it down to a few rotator cuff issues. He was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to really explain things and answered my questions thoroughly. We ended with dry needling and some exercises. By the second appointment, we had found the source of my problem and how to fix it. By the next day, my pain had decreased by halg and the stretches he had given had me feeling less weak in that arm. I am impressed with Dr. Jesse and how amazing he has been. I highly recommend him if you're even thinking of having checked out. Take my word for it and GO!

I have to brag on Dr. Mehring again. This man has the compassion and kindness you don't find in doctors anymore. He goes above and beyond and out of his way to help people. I am extremely grateful for the help he has given me and the relief from my pain because of it! He knows what he is doing and can help anyone achieve a better quality of life. Don't let other doctors tell you that surgery or pain pills are your only option because they are not! Do yourself a favor and schedule a consult with Dr. Mehring, you won't regret it.

Been looking for someone like this for a long time. Someone who can help bridge the gap after surgery, and get me back into the gym. Not just safely but stronger. Can’t teach what you don’t practice. And Jesse is in the gym everyday, so he can relate. Any time I bring up an issue he is able to pin point it, give advice and you can instantly tell the difference. I began CrossFit less then a year ago and he is helping me tune every aspect of the sport.

I had spent nearly a year fighting plantar fasciitis and post COVID joint pain and stiffness. In fact, the pain in my foot was pretty debilitating and I could barely walk without limping. With the help of Dr Jesse who provided exercises and dry needle therapy my pain is gone and I can once again focus on being active again. Dr Jesse is very patient focused and makes sure you are progressing. He doesn't just throw workouts at you and wait until the next visit. He actually reaches out to see how you are doing in between visits. I highly recommend his care. The facility itself is well maintained and has a wide variety of equipment for members of all fitness levels. Such a great place for everyone from the student athlete wanting to improve performance to a senior person who just wants to regain strength and flexibility all are welcome at SP&P.
