Dr. James is very personable, and I felt comfortable with him right away. My shoulder pain improved significantly in the first week working with him. It continued to improve after each session, and he helped me with a couple of other aches and pains, as well. He gave me exercises to do at home, which helped a lot, too. The pain is nearly gone now, and I know how to manage it, thanks to him. I highly recommend him.

I might have to change his name to the shoulder whisperer. I thought I had a torn rotator cuff and came in to find out. In one session he realized the problem was actually in my neck and he showed me some ways to improve the pain. I was throwing again the next day! I highly recommend you seeing him for any kind of sports related injuries

Dr. James is the best! I’ve been suffering with back and hip pain for over 6 years, and had gone to a different physical therapist for a few months with minimal improvement. After just the first few sessions at Push Through Performance I had already started to make amazing progress…and now I’m almost finished with my program and feeling better than I have in years! Dr. James is very knowledgeable and thorough, and was able to identify and treat some contributing issues that I was previously unaware of. I also like that my entire session is with Dr. James (instead of an assistant) so that he can correct my form during the exercises when needed. If you have any kind of back or hip pain, go see Dr. James…you won’t be disappointed!

Dr. James is a top notch professional. I came to Push Through Performance after dealing with an injury that resulted in Frozen Shoulder. James was able to help immediately within the 1st session and I have seen continuous improvement with each session. He not only has the knowledge and skill, he also is 100% accessible if you have any questions or concerns. He is always there to help. I would absolutely recommend him if you are needing PT work. He goes above and beyond.

Good one on one analysis of a problem I’ve been unable to solve elsewhere. We have a path forward. Definitely recommend.

I’ve been seeing James for a couple months now working on healing a torn hip labrum. He is very knowledgeable and has been super helpful. Been getting stronger and continuing to feel improvements with my hip.

I have been experiencing chronic pain in my back and hips. I have been to physical therapists, chiropractors and a surgeon and did not find a solution. Dr. James has taken the time to understand the complex and compounded issues causing my pain. He has developed a targeted strengthening and stretching plan that stabilizes and properly aligns my joints to reduce and eliminate my pain. It is by far the best thing I have done for my pain.

Dr. James is great at what he does. I really appreciate his simple approach to identifying problem areas, establishing clear goals and creating a roadmap to get there. He took the time to learn about the specific activities I do and studied the body movements associated with them to better help me. I am already seeing results after just a few sessions and we are building from there. I came to Dr. James because I want to be active and reduce pain wherever possible and he has already helped me so much. This is the best I have felt in years!

I injured my shoulder but didn't want to stop pushing myself in my strength training. I train as a powerlifter and was pretty discouraged about the prospect of taking time off. Dr. James was the right answer for me. He encouraged me to keep pushing myself while he treated my shoulder. I feel like I've missed minimal time and my shoulder is feeling great. My strength loss was minimal and I'm back on track.

James is very helpful and detailed with his work. He has helped me quite a bit in just a few sessions with my shoulder pain. Especially if you are an athlete, you want to see James.

Went in to see Dr. James about a should injury that was lingerie around for about 6 weeks. Went to see regular Dr.and went to PT with no good results before going in to see Dr. James. With one session with Dr. James he found cause of the injury. With some exercise and stretching the pain was gone by the end of our session!

Have nothing but amazing things to say! James is extremely knowledgeable and great at what he does!

James is so educated and knows exactly what he’s doing. He caters every treatment according to my needs. I highly recommend his expertise.

Great service by James. He’s very professional and helped me with my PT journey. He listened to what I needed and helped with every step along the way. Highly recommend.

Dr. James Babana is exceptionally well rounded and aware regarding the body and PT. We initially took our 18 year old for a football injury and followed soon after with our 15 year old volleyball player and her injury. Dr Babana looked at the injury but also the whole body to see what might be contributing factors as to why this happened. Both our children improved significantly and quickly. We will be seeing a lot of Dr. Babana in the coming years as we have four athletes!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. James. It's so hard to find quality physical therapists when you have complicated issues. I had originally gone to a physical therapy clinic where you work with a therapist for a few minutes and then the PT tech takes you through the same exercises everyone else is doing for the same issue. In addition, they work with 5 clients at the same time, so you're not given personalized attention. Often, I wasn't even sure if I was completing the exercise correctly. This type of factory assembly line approach to PT may be fine for people who have common issues that aren't that serious. However. If you've got issues that aren't as clear cut, you require a higher level of care. This is where Dr. James talent and expertise are needed. Dr James's commitment to quality care is unparalleled. When you initially meet with him, he completes a thorough physical examination in order to determine a treatment plan that is personalized and customized to each client. He works with you to determine your goals for treatment and goes out if his way to help you achieve them. He always makes sure you understand the purpose behind every aspect of your treatment and how it will best serve your goals. If you require care outside his purview, he also has great recommendations for other sources of medical care. He is also extremely caring, compassionate and kind. If you are in need of private physical therapy in Scottdale, Dr. James is your therapist.

Dr. James goes above and beyond for his clients and is amazing to work with. He really listens to your needs and works with you to create the best possible outcome. I’ve experienced so much growth in my mobility and feel better overall during my workouts. Thank you Dr. James!
