About the clinic
Founded and led by Jason Osborne, MPT
Performance Rehabilitation opened in Sanford in 2008, founded by Jason Osborne, MPT with a clear vision: to set the benchmark for quality acute physical therapy and industrial rehabilitation in central North Carolina.
More than fifteen years later, that standard holds — one-on-one, hands-on care where you see the same therapist every visit, delivered with compassion to the local community and its industry. When you're deciding where to rehab, that continuity is the difference.

What patients say
Trusted by our neighbors in Sanford
The staff were very professional and cordial. My therapy for a shoulder injury and a balance problem was very successful — I highly recommend them.

They treated me through two shoulder surgeries. Highly professional, and the therapy was effective. I'd definitely recommend Performance Rehabilitation.
Pat McCracken
They helped me through the biggest struggle in my life. I improved greatly, and the staff performed over and above the norm. I recommend them highly.

Demo notePrivacy & HIPAA · A clinic site carries real privacy duties. This one is served over HTTPS and kept clean of ad trackers that could leak patient data to third parties (in line with current HHS/FTC guidance), and it's set up to post a privacy policy and link your Notice of Privacy Practices — the trust markers patients and auditors both look for. Your compliance contact should confirm the specifics before launch.
