Google Reviews Lee’s Summit

Summit Strength it’s the only place I would send family and friends. Taylor helped me with back pain from stenosis.

Then for my total knee replacement she guided me through pre-surgery strength training. Chris led my post-surgery rehab. After three months, I was literally walking around Paris without pain. Chris knew exactly what I needed at every stage, whether it was lymphatic massage and stretching or endurance and strength training. Others were there to keep it seamless whenever Chris or Taylor weren’t available.

I’ve been there enough to see this team interact with children, teenagers, elite D1 athletes, middle aged women and the elderly. All receive exactly what they need with the utmost care and respect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any of their therapists.

This was my second total knee replacement recovery at Summit Strength. I simply wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

Brennan Lashbrook was my physical therapist for several months and brought me from being afraid of using a walker to walking with a cane and gaining confidence. His manner was so professional and he knew exactly what to tell me to do when. I highly recommend him. He made what could have been a very difficult experience excellent!

Summit Strength is a great resource for so many people. The PT‘s and support staff work to keep people healthy in a wide variety of ways. They build relationships and are always accommodating in sharing their resources to help patients recover, heal and feel better. Scott leads a great team that works together and that is what makes this business special. I am thankful for all of the treatment, access to equipment and guidance they have provided me.

I recieved excellent care from Emma and Brennan. I came in on the first day unable to move my neck and lower back without a lot of pain. With their expertise, encouragement, and kindness I am feeling so much better! I was given my life back and the skills to maintain my physical well being! I recommend Summit Strength to anyone who needs help to improve their quality of life!! Thank you so very much!!

Summit Strength Lee’s Summit, MO reflects professionalism, competence, and caring in every way.
After battling cervical neck issues for over a year—including several months of chiropractic—I requested an appt at Summit Strength. Fortunately, I was assigned to Brennan Lashbrook, and within weeks I was seeing significant relief. His diagnostic expertise was reinforced with his strength and focused treatment skills. I also appreciated Brennan’s ability to clearly explain and clarify my ‘physical thpy homework’; the results have been impressive. And icing on the cake is that Brennan is a personable & delightful young man.

I would be remiss not to mention the almost tangible sense of teamwork and camaraderie in the office and treatment center. Owner Scott Knoche has clearly been very selective in his hiring and training programs.

Thank you, SUMMIT STRENGTH!

The care I received was top notch from the beginning to the end. I showed up for my evaluation with so much fear that I was facing surgery for a torn meniscus. Half way through treatment, I was facing a trip out of town where I planned to have 3 full days of walking (3 months before I was barely moving around my house). I came home from that trip with 100% confidence that I could start the exercises at home and reduce the pain before it was unbearable! Thank you to all the staff - especially Josh for their help in returning to my normal (except better) life!

I was referred to Summit Strength by my primary physician regarding chronic back pain following a severe episode of back nerve spasms putting me in the emergency room in September 2024. I was on crutches for 8 days with limited mobility on my right leg. I had no feeling in my right shin and chronic pain in my lower back and right knee. Using pain management with a doctor and physical therapy sessions twice a week with Summit Strength therapist's Emma & Taylor, I was able to reduce the pain and improve my mobility. Because of Emma & Taylor's expertise, support, and encouragement we were able to determined with a neurologist that back surgery was necessary. A neurosurgeon performed back surgery in January 2025. I experienced immediate pain relief following surgery. I experienced stiffness & soreness over 6 weeks of a healing & recovery period. That's when Emma & Taylor's skills played a crucial role in my therapy and full recovery. I am so grateful for their positive attitudes and compassion. Their professional technical skills and guidance-know how made the difference and successfully impacted my physical therapy journey. Their encouragement kept me going and their kindness made each session something I looked forward to rather than something to dread. A couple of times I met with the owner/operator of Summit Strength, Scott, who was very personable, helpful, and highly knowledgeable. It was obvious Scott trusts his employees and Emma & Taylor spoke highly of their management and enjoy their work. I highly recommend Summit Strength where the atmosphere is comfortable and confident.

Summit Strength's team has been so helpful in my path to recovery. They took a woman who could barely sit or stand to someone who is now capable of anything! I would highly recommend them as your place for physical therapy! The care they provide is top notch and each member of their team truly cares about every patient they work with.

Brennan was so great. I'm an active young new mom who was having sometimes crippling back pain. He didn't just tell me to stop lifting and he was so dedicated to figure out what the issue is and has given me all the tools to treat the pain whenever it pops up again. So grateful and absolutely recommend!

I had the best experience at Summit Strength P. T.
I had rotator repair surgery and then, meniscus repair surgery last year. My therapists were Abby, Taylor and Tom. I had most of my sessions with Taylor. Taylor pushed me to not give up on myself. She listened to me when I was having a bad day. I love that you can either stick with one therapist or see another if you choose. They were all so kind and encouraging. And, can’t leave out the front office staff. There is a smile for you every time you walk in the door. Very friendly!

I had total knee replacement surgery in June. I had treatment from Summit Strength throughout my recovery. Ben and Nick were my therapists during the process of becoming functional again. After a rough start (due to pain medication problems) following my surgery, Ben and Nick helped me over the hump enabled me to make consistent progress. I am well on the way to complete recovery thanks to the excellent care and just the right amount of patience and encouragement. I highly recommend Summit for your therapy needs. You will get personal 1-1 therapy and the support you need to meet your goals.

I dislocated my hip and fractured my joint. I worked with Josh, Chandra and Emily and they were absolutely terrific. They got me back to being full strength and helped me get my confidence back in my injured hip. I would recommend them to everyone! 10/10

Taylor and Emily were excellent with their treatment plan for me. Not only has my back made a full recovery after surgery but the exercises they have me doing have increased my core strength which has helped my golf swing. Great facility and wonderful staff.

Taylor and Chandra have extremely professional over the last 8 months. They prepared me for both my reverse shoulder replacement surgeries and were patient with me post-op. Both knew when to nudge me along and knew when to pump the brakes if I got ahead of myself. Both have a warm and engaging personality. Both took a personal interest in my continued improvement. The facility is open and welcoming.

I went to Summit Strength on several recommendations from people in our neighborhood. Years of not taking care of myself led to pain in my spine, hips, knees, and ribs. I had the good fortune to be tag-teamed by two wonderful, knowledgable, and caring therapists, Stephanie and Taylor. They worked together to find activities to not only relieve the pain, but strengthen me. They did more diagnostic work than my doctor did! They came up with a set of exercises that I can do both at home and at the gym, to keep myself moving far into the future. The facilities at Summit have everything necessary to keep you moving. I was especially pleased that I wasn't passed off to an assistant. I saw my therapists every visit, and they spent the entire hour with me. I sincerely hope that I don't need to visit again, but I know I'll be back to Summit if I need it.

Had a great experience with the team. Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They worked well with my son to rehab his shoulder, I highly recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy

Extremely talented group of physical therapists that listen to your input and and devise treatment plan that works!!

Summit Strength is the very best and the most professional physucsl therapy center.
They treat you with care and respect.
Scott has established a great facility between the staff and equipment.
Taylor and Tami were my team and you won’t find a better one.
Thanks and praise for their hard work and encouragement!

I was referred to Summit Strength by my primary doctor for an ongoing back issue. During my back therapy, a shoulder problem I had was exposed that required surgery and specific therapy. I commend my therapist Taylor who guided and encouraged me through the necessary exercises and treatment to manage my back pain and get my shoulder back to the strength and flexibility needed to again enjoy swimming, Pickleball, among other physical activities. Summit Strength is a sizeable facility, well managed with a very friendly staff, both administrative and the therapists. They have an impressive range of therapeutic, exercise and sports equipment. Taylor was my main therapist as the company provides a 1-on-1 relationship with their patients. I could contact her outside of our normal schedule to have all my questions and concerns addressed in a timely manner. Due to the length of my rehabilitation, there were a few occasions when Taylor was not available but when therapists Tom and Kelce filled in during her absence, there was no drop off in my recovery. All the therapists are very personable and friendly and it’s obvious they all work very well with each other and treat their patients with care and dignity. I highly recommend Summit Strength for their professionalism and their personal approach. Physical therapy can be a very challenging activity but Taylor’s enthusiasm and attention to my progress had me looking forward to my appointments and feeling positive on my improvement. I no longer need a recommendation from my doctor as having experienced Summit Strength, they are my definite choice if I require physical therapy in the future.

Summit Strength is amazing. They helped me set my goals. Not only was I able to achieve them, but I exceeded them. They answered all of my questions. They partnered with me each step of the way. I never struggled to get an appointment. Tom and Tammy were my people and have made my recovery not only possible, but enjoyable. Thank you, Summit Strength! You were my life saver!

The staff and services were fantastic. Everyone was focused on my knee rehab, but most importantly to me was they listened and explained my progress. If needed, I will definitely return.

I had an accident that caused a major shoulder injury last summer. I had surgery and my orthopedic doctor office suggested I go to Summit Strength Physical Therapy. I made an appointment at the Blue Springs facility. I was impressed from the first day when I found out I worked with my therapist who was only assigned to me and no other patients at the same time as other therapy facilities do around the area. Everyone at the Blue Springs facility was great. Haley Hayes was my main therapist, and she was fantastic. She worked with getting my motion back which took several weeks and then on strength as I had lost most the muscle I had in my shoulder from the injury. Haley made it challenging, and fun. Haley has a great personality and makes the therapy session go by fast as she is easy to talk with. Haley can tell when you are doing your exercises at home. She made me want to recover faster and is a fantastic employee at this therapy location. I am so happy with my progress and how good I am doing now. Therapist Ben & Nick worked with me a few times also when Haley was out and were also great. This is a 10 star Therapist Facility on a scale 1 to 5 stars. Thank you so much for making me 2-armed person again and doing such a fantastic job with me.

I can't say enough good things about this place. This was my 2nd time using them for physical therapy. Everyone on their team is always super nice. My physical therapist Josh was especially great to work with (as well as Brennan when he filled in). Everything was personalized to fit my recovery needs and the limitations caused by my injury. Throughout my recovery I had many questions and he always ensured they were answered fully. If something wasn't working or too painful he would make adjustments until we could get to where we needed to be. When I got discouraged, he helped lift me back up. You could tell that Josh cared about my progress and he pushed me the right amount. For those reasons I am grateful for Josh and the rest the Summit Strength team and recommend them if you're looking for a physical therapist.

They evaluated the problem, made a plan, and followed the plan with checks every 4 weeks. It worked so well and I was able to graduate from physical therapy in 2 months!

Absolutely phenomenal place! My son went there for over 7 months and they did everything to ensure he would be able to return to his sport. Abby and Cory are both wonderful and thoughtful physical therapists and we couldn't be any happier with them and the results. I highly recommend Summit Strength!

Summit Strength offers one--on-one care for the full hour, an unusual PT experience. Paige listened carefully to my concerns and my lifestyle, was able to resolve my year-long ankle issue in a few sessions. She looked beyond my specific complaints and found that my struggles stemmed from a bigger picture that involved hip weakness. I continue to do many of the exercises at home that she taught me. I'm back at Jazzercize daily, with no pain as long as I do my prescribed stretching. Therapist-owned PT centers are the best. I would never consider anything else!

I sit at a computer most of the day and my neck and shoulder were tight and ached. Paige gave me exercises that worked a miracle! I go back to the exercises whenever the problem begins to start again!. Great caring staff!

I truly cannot express how thankful I am for Summit Strength and the Physical Therapists that work there. I highly recommend them. You will not find a more kind and caring staff. I have been a patient for 10 months after needing two back to back knee surgeries unexpectedly. The staff has been unbelievably kind, welcoming and helpful since day one. The front desk staff and even PTs I did not work with made it a priority to get to know me and know me by name. I have primarily worked with Cory and he has been absolutely amazing to work with and has helped me exponentially in my recovery. Cory listened to my goals in my recovery and worked with me to get there. Cory not only helped me with physical hurdles but helped me work through mental blocks and emotions that come along with recovering from an injury. I have also worked with Brennan who ,though he was not my primary physical therapist, showed and continues to show so much interest in my recovery. I worked with Stephanie only twice and she still stops me when I am there to see how I am doing and to celebrate my progress with me. As I have transitioned into an extra care patient and away from seeing a PT for my care, the staff continues to check on me, allow me to use the facility to continue my rehab workouts and is invested in my progress. If you are looking for a physical therapy clinic that will provide you amazing care and view you as a person and not just a patient, Summit Strength is the place to go.

Another great recovery at Summit Strength PT. This time I owe it to Josh B. Thanks for your dedication and for pushing me and listening to me. I know that is why we had such great success. Five months after ankle surgery and I completed 500 miles on my bike over 7 days, am back playing tennis and all other activities without any modifications! Couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you!!

Everyone is so friendly and helpful, it’s a family atmosphere. Such a personal approach to make sure I have a successful recovery.

Wonderful people willing to work with you to meet your post surgery recovery goals!

My son was needing to rehab a hip fracture. The staff were amazing along with their facility‼️ 1 on 1 work every session‼️

I went to Summit Strength after a total knee replacement. I was awed by the expertise and enthusiasm of the staff! Their kindness and dedication made my rehabilitation so much easier than I had anticipated. Thank you especially to Taylor, my physical therapist and to Ella, Taylor’s assistant!❤️

Thanks you all so much for the excellent help you provided to help me walk again after back to back knee replacement!

The therapy along with the encouragement that I have received at Summit Strength in Lee’s Summit has been invaluable in my recovery from a traumatic leg injury. Scott, the staff and my personal therapist, Cory make going to Physical Therapy much less intimidating and as positive results are continuing to be achieved; I look forward to each appointment!

BRENNAN LASHBROOK. About one year ago, I was referred to Summit Strength PT for shoulder pain. Now one year later and after rotator cuff/bicep tear repair surgery, I am ever so thankful and grateful for the consistent care I received from my physical therapist, Brennan. Today was my last PT appointment. 😞🤗 I have gained full range of motion and almost full strength. Brennan began as my therapist and has become my friend. Best of wishes to you and may all that God has for you reign in your life. 🥰
Special shout out to Abby, all the front desk crew, Chandra, Stephanie and Ella. You guys are super sweet. I looked forward in seeing you on my therapy days. God bless each of you is my prayer. Love , ANGIE LONG.

Excellent service and great communication. I worked with Kelsi Bennett who is knowledgeable and made the process fun! Highly recommend

I arrived in a wheelchair at the beginning of my therapy. Two months later I walked out the front door. I had a broken back injury. All people were very professional, and cared deeply about their jobs, and they will bring other patient. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who had a serious injury and needed help for recovery.

I went to Summit Strength for PT after my 3rd ankle surgery (original injury was from a car accident where a young woman pulled out in front of me on the highway). They are truly invested in their patients and maintain consistent communication with the patient as well as your doctor, to ensure they are helping you as much as possible. I felt pushed to progress without ever feeling overwhelmed or like we did too much.

The therapists at Summit Strength are top notch and they only do one on one PT sessions. I appreciate that they are entirely focused on one patient at a time, rather than bouncing between several like many other PT companies do. I also had the same therapist almost every visit with Summit Strength, and the 2 or 3 times I had someone else (I knew ahead and it was bc of my own scheduling issues) the backup therapist was just as good and communicated with my therapist both before and after my session to maintain consistent therapy. The last PT business I went to had me with a different person almost every visit and it changed up so often that I didn't even get to know any of their names!

I usually try not to compare businesses to each other in reviews, but with this kind of thing it is hard not to. Summit Strength is miles above anywhere I have been in the past for PT and I legitimately have nothing negative I can say about them. They have their own gym at the Lees Summit location and are inside a gym with access to all the gym's equipment (in addition to their own tables and equipment) at the Blue Springs location.

Between the highly qualified therapists (many if not most have doctorates in PT), their honest and real care for their patients, the one on one nature of the therapy, having one therapist throughout treatment, and the variety of equipment and treatments available, I am very happy with my experiences and time with Summit Strength PT.

I hope you never have a need for their services but, if you do, I highly recommend Summit Strength!

I can’t say enough about the staff! Scott, the owner makes a point to talk to each patient. He creates an awesome environment. Chris and Josh were great trainers to work with as well. Highly knowledgeable and dedicated staff!

I had had physical therapy on my shoulder at a different physical therapy office for three months with no help resolving my shoulder problem. I visited my general practitioner doctor. She recommended a orthopedic doctor. The orthopedic doctor recommended I go to Summit Strength Lees Summit for physical therapy on my shoulder. The issue with my shoulder was an impingement. My physical therapist at SSLS was Chris. He was terrific! He assessed my shoulder and started with BFR. Then followed the BFR treatment with basic exercises for my shoulder. I soon was seeing improvement in movement of my shoulder. After a while, I was able to start playing pickle ball again. When I arrived at SSLS I didn’t think I would be playing pickle ball ever again because of my shoulder problem. But, the professional knowledge of Chris and his encouragement, my shoulder improved to where I was able to resume playing pickle ball. I greatly appreciate everything Chris did in healing my shoulder. Thanks! Glenn

Excellent establishment. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I went here for rehab after my ruptured Achilles surgery. They give you personal care, answer all your questions, and help you on your way to recovery. I hope I never need Physical Therapy again, but if I do, I will be coming here. Shoutout especially to Taylor, Cory, and especially Paige.

Excellent care as they provide the staff, resources and space for successful rehabilitation. Only caveat is that YOU have to put in the work. Special thanks to Cory and Brennan as they helped me with the life long tools to take care of myself.

The care at this facility is definitely five stars! My therapist, Josh has really helped me get stronger with my neck issues. I did also do one session with Tammy. All the therapists are compassionate, attentive and work hard to get get their clients back to functioning. Thanks

Working with Chris was really enjoyable. His combination of technique and education was ideal. I feel much better and I’m thankful for his help!

The entire Summit Strength staff was incredible during my recovery & rehab after my knee replacements. They helped me set goals & establish a treatment plan based on those goals. They pushed me but were also very patient & understanding during the rehab process.
I highly recommend Summit Strength. The staff makes you feel comfortable & welcome while providing a high level of care.

Everyone is very professional and friendly. Chris was great to work with he informed me what and why we were doing each exercise. Would refer others to Summit Strength.
