“Tate is nothing but professional, kind, and caring. He listens to my needs and adjust the program accordingly. Absolutely recommend Recalibrate Performance hands down!”
“Dr. Tate is AWESOME!!! My 11 year old son has been attending physical therapy with him for his elbow for the past three weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he’s received. He is patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. He does an excellent job gauging my son’s pain level and ability during each exercise, making adjustments as needed and ensuring he progresses safely. His genuine care and attention to detail have made a huge difference in my son’s recovery. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so happy I chose recalibrate for my ACL rehab. I could not have done it without Tate and his team. They went above and beyond every step of the way. Always encouraging me, pushing me when I needed it, and genuinely caring about my progress and well-being. I’m so grateful for all of their support and would recommend them to anyone going through recovery.”
