A different approach that works
"I cannot recommend Brett highly enough to anyone seeking a different approach to rehab and recovery (versus the typical PT routine). I began working with Brett in 2024 after a number of serious physical setbacks and issues (both acute and chronic). With Brett's help I've been able to make significant progress towards my goals. (My ortho surgeon was impressed w the results!) Brett is extremely knowledgeable as well as being a great coach in terms of encouragement, and especially skilled at balancing this former athlete's tendency to push *too* hard. Brett is also highly creative in his approach, constantly coming up with variations on movements to keep me challenged and continuously improving, as well as adaptations I can do on my own at the gym or at home."
From surgery to scholarship
"After graduating freshman year of high school, my daughter was playing national softball events. During one of the games, she tore her labrum on her non-throwing arm. Dr. Brett was involved in the process from the beginning...An injury that would normally have taken my daughter six months to return to the field and up to one year for full recovery, took just four months to return to playing and six months for her to be back at full strength. During this critical recruiting time, Dr. Brett’s incredible knowledge and expert care on how to treat and then retain strength through the healing process was the deciding factor. If not for him, my daughter’s chances of obtaining a division one scholarship would be greatly diminished!"

Hitting personal records
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stephen, and his expertise is truly top-notch. I’m an Olympic weightlifter, but came to Stephen looking to improve my sprinting form and technique. Over the time I worked with him, not only did my sprinting improve dramatically, but I also hit personal records on all my Olympic weightlifting lifts! His ability to tailor training specifically to my needs and goals was key to my success. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking to elevate their performance!"

“One stop shopping for short-term and long-term recovery”
I started working with Dr. Brett Poniros at Apollo Performance Chiropractic in May 2022, after decades of lumbar spine issues and one surgery. With Brett's help, I am successfully putting off another surgery. I would not be able to accomplish this by working out on my own. When my pain flares, he uses chiropractic techniques to tamp it back down. When we work out, he helps me to increase my strength, my range of motion, and my functional capabilities. He tailors each workout to my specific issues, and he watches me like a hawk: Not a session goes by without him making some minor adjustment to my form that completely changes the impact of an exercise. I find Brett very easy to communicate with and very responsive. Scheduling appointments with him via the Apollo website is easy and convenient. From our conversations during sessions, I know that Brett is constantly reading about and researching the latest developments and techniques in his field. He brings a huge amount of passion, enthusiasm and commitment to his work. I look forward to working with him for a long time to come.
