DR. JUSTIN PRICE
PT, DPT, CSCs, USAW-L1, AIB-VRC
Justin's passion for physical therapy began after suffering a significant back injury during his collegiate track and field career. The injury ended his season and required months of rehabilitation, but with the right treatment he avoided surgery and returned to competition. That experience gave him firsthand insight into the physical and mental challenges of recovery and inspired him to pursue a career helping others regain their quality of life.
Today, Justin is passionate about helping patients whose conditions are often overlooked or misunderstood. While he enjoys treating orthopedic injuries and active individuals of all ages, he has developed a special clinical interest in caring for people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), hypermobility disorders, dysautonomia, vestibular disorders, and other complex conditions. These patients often require a more individualized approach than traditional rehabilitation, and Justin is committed to identifying the underlying causes of symptoms rather than simply treating pain.
Justin believes that every patient deserves one-on-one care tailored to their unique goals, lifestyle, and diagnosis. He continually studies emerging research, refines treatment techniques, and integrates evidence-informed approaches into his practice to provide the highest level of care possible. His goal is not only to reduce pain, but to restore confidence, improve function, and help patients return to the activities that matter most to them.
Whether working with competitive athletes, patients recovering from surgery, or individuals who have spent years searching for answers, Justin strives to provide compassionate, individualized care that empowers patients to take control of their health.
Outside the clinic, Justin enjoys competitive fishing on Lake Michigan, strength training, hunting, and spending time with his wife and children.

Testimonials

"Tom has helped me from the very beginning following my collar bone hardware surgery. This practice has a great combination of palliative soft tissue work and active therapy to strengthen and get you back to your lifestyle."

I've been to Justin for chronic issues and I continue to see him regularly for maintenance (I'm 56 yr old male). He explains what is happening and how the both of you can resolve it. He uses an app on your phone (and it has reminders) to do your exercises. It has videos to remind what to do as well as a timer for exercises that go are timed. He has eliminated issues that I thought are just "normal" that I have had for years. Highly recommend!

"I have seen Justin pre and post op for a total hip replacement. He is very personable and addresses every single concern you have. He utilizes the most up to date treatments and is always educating himself. If you are tired of the “conveyor belt therapy” and want your concerns truly addressed this is your guy!"
