What to expect?

60 minute group training that emphasizes periodized training with the goal to progress clients through phases of training and frequently return to the basics – REGARDLESS of how far one improves. This means there will be:

  1. Intentional warm-ups that prepare for the movement patterns that day. They will elevate your core temperature, activate your muscles, and turn on your brain for the work ahead.

  2. Thoughtful and purposeful progressions that emphasize quality and control of movement that give you a chance to connect and enhance your movement patterns. The results being: building better motor control, enhancing active range of motion, developing stability in the joints under load, as well as decreased Central Nervous System fatigue and hormonal imbalances.

  3. Specific cool down work that targets the areas trained.

  • Our son, Chase, was in a dirt bike accident in May 2022. After his surgery, we started with Bradley. At Chase's 2yr check-up his surgeons were speechless with his progress. He had more movement back than they expected and attributed it to his amazing therapist and his hard work. We love Bradley and North Idaho Physical Therapy!

    I had cancer/treatments and came very debilitated from the chemo and radiation. Alex helped me recondition me, so I am now back to my pre cancer abilities + stamina. He was very encouraging the entire time. As a retired nurse I quickly recognized the skill and expertise he provides during the rehab process. He also made a big difference in my shoulder pain to the point it is now healed. Thank you, Alex. I will forever be grateful for all you have done for me.

    In the last four years, I have had four different injuries which Jared has treated me for he has fantastic. I must confess he is the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is a great listener and highly skilled at what he does. With many different injuries I’ve sustained he listens and tests carefully and comes up with a plan. He is incredibly observant, with my foot injury he noted my walking gate was off and helped me correct it so I can avoid future injury. Everything he has done has helped me recovery 100% and more.

    I was referred to physical therapy due to instability and muscle spasms. Physical therapy has helped me so much from Dec 2023- Aug 2024, I went from using a walker to being able to walking for hours before issues arise. I started PT in the pool then graduated to regular PT. We are now working on using the stairs. NIPT staff is amazing and will go at my pace. If I have set back, they adjust the plan to fit my needs.

    Dave Andrews is Mr. Magic! He knows more than my orthopedist, I swear. This is the 3rd time I have needed him and the 3rd time he performed his magic to make things better. And I trusted my athletes to him and they loved his work to get them back on the court/mat! Thanks for being there, Dave.

    NIPT is a very friendly team and my physical therapist there, Sky Pruitt, helped me get back to normal after both a bad shoulder with torn labral cartilage and then later a bad knee. He was encouraging knowledgeable and very competent and I never could have come through those episodes without his help. I highly recommend NIPT and Sky Pruitt to anyone in need of help with physical recovery of any kind.

  • I became ill with sever CHF in January 2022 and also suffer with arthritis pain, instability, compromised mobility and other age-related problems. After continuous vigorous diuretic therapy, Dr Linford referred me to NIPT. My wife had received PT from Alex with excellent results. Alex's compassionate way had expedited my recovery and has helped me stay committed to the exercise regime over the past two years he has helped me with flare ups with neck arthritis with great results to aquatic therapy for imbalance and falling issues. under the guidance to help from Tim, I have been improving steadily and am so thankful for all the help both Alex and Tim gave me. I am getting stronger and am able to enjoy living more fully in these later stages of my life. The entire program runs smoothly because of the friendly competent and expedient skills of the supportive staff, i.e. Kim, Bridgette, Joan. They are the best! Thank you to the whole team!

    I am over "50" and needed guidance on how to adapt to my changing body. I went and saw Krista at BioPerformance Insitute about nutrition to see what I could do to lose weight and feel good, little did I know what all a Registered Dietitian does for you…She worked within my lifestyle choices and helped me come up with some great plans to help me lose weight. I have never felt like I am on a diet, and I am losing weight. I am now down 25lbs in 4 months! I was super thrilled when I found out my insurance covers it…Thank you Krista for showing me how to live my best life!

    Krista at BPi is an amazing dietitian. She is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions at every appointment. She is not only about your food, but your stress and lifestyle. She helped me get into clinical remission with my Crohn’s Disease and changed my lifestyle for the better. I would recommend her to anyone who is ready to improve their life and change for the better.

    Due to an automobile accident many years ago, I have regularly used the services of chiropractors and massage therapists, some good and some not so good, so I speak from experience. I have just started using the services of Suzette Barr, LMT, and I must say she is up there with the best! I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a massage. I will continue to be her client as long as she is available.

    I love coming to my physical therapy appointments. I arrive excited to see Alex and the gals. I always feel heard, well cared for and safe. Safe to tell the trust, safe to cry, safe to say no. I always leave feeling better than I arrived, not always physically but emotionally and spiritually. I had two surgeries this year and experienced a lot of traumas. Being able to go to a place to heal has saved my life and improved every part of me! Thank you!

    I came to Krista so wrapped up in diet culture. I didn’t know what to eat any more… Krista has completely changed the way I look at food…While working with Krista I learned about intuitive eating… She helped reshape my mindset on how to listen to my body when it comes to eating…. While seeing Krista she recommended supplements that were right for me and performed tests to learn more about how my body works. She didn’t only focus on what food I was putting into my body, but she addressed sleep, exercise, stress, and my overall health…Overall, it was a great experience, and I now have the confidence to live my daily life feeling great about my lifestyle and not feeling guilty all thanks to the help from Krista!

    Before reaching out to Krista at BPI, I tried everything to feel and look better. I knew nutrition was a critical component of my goals, yet I didn’t seek help…I hit a low point in my life once I crossed the scale at 236. I was exercising, I was eating well (so I thought) but I couldn’t get the weight to come down… I work out at BPI and knew Krista worked there…. I knew she was a dietitian, but I just couldn’t bring myself to ask for help…I have dropped over 25 pounds since seeking her professional guidance. I only have six more pounds to go to my goal, and glad that I made the leap… Krista can help motivate, provide guidance, or even be a good person to listen when you need to vent…We celebrated each win, we developed the strategy that works well for me… I wish I didn’t wait so long to make an appointment.

    I discovered Daryl close to a year ago and have definitely been a repeat customer ever since. His extensive knowledge of how the body works is apparent in his ability to quickly understand my bumbling description of ‘where it hurts’. He listens to exactly what I feel I need and makes additional suggestions for improvement. He may be soft spoken but he certainly delivers an incredibly effective massage!

    My son, Ryan, sought therapy for overall weakness, abdominal and shoulder pain and the inability to walk. Since starting with NIPT, he has experienced a noticeable increase in strength. He loves working in the pool. Progress has been slow and Ryan is not fully walking yet, but Bradley, Justin, Stephanie and Mishelle have all been so unfailingly kind and patient through the process.

    How fortunate it was for me that I was afraid to Kristoff at NIPT I’ve had chronic low back pain for decades and after a recent failed surgery that made it worse and hurt my mobility quite a lot. Kristoff helped me in 15 sessions more than I ever thought possible. I’ve been other physical therapist over the years, but Kristoffs knowledge and understanding of my muscular skills situation was impressive. Now I’m stronger and more mobile, I’m in far less pain and have a realistic exercise path laid out for me that will bring me even better results. Without that providential referral to Kristoff, there is no way I would be where I am. He is a solid professional pleasure to work with, and I recommend him with high praise.
