"Totem provided the reset I needed to train for longevity... The continuum of physical therapy into personal training provided a way for us to find the right modalities, movements, and loads to get me pain free within a month."

"What sets Totem apart, I believe, is their business model. You get focused, one-on-one sessions where every rep is watched, coached, and adjusted as needed. It’s nothing like the typical PT clinic, where therapists juggle multiple patients at once or rush through exercises without proper sequencing."

Solving Your Toughest Rehab and Performance Hurdles.

Persistent pain, recurring injuries, and frustrating plateaus can keep you stuck in a cycle of setbacks. We help uncover the root causes so you can finally move, train, and perform without limitations.

Persistent Pain That Won't Go Away

Nagging shoulder, knee, or back pain can limit both training and daily life. We identify the true root cause so you can finally resolve the issue instead of constantly managing symptoms.

Injuries That Keep You Out of the Gym

Sports injuries and training setbacks can quickly derail your progress. Our rehab process helps you safely recover and return to activity stronger and more resilient.

Plateaued Strength or Performance

If your workouts feel stagnant or results have stalled, inefficient movement or poor programming may be holding you back. We refine your training so progress continues.

Mobility Limitations and Stiffness

Restricted mobility can lead to poor movement mechanics and increased injury risk. We restore joint mobility and movement quality so your body performs the way it should.

Frustration With Insurance-Based Physical Therapy

Rushed appointments and generic exercise sheets often leave patients without real answers. Our one-on-one approach focuses on solving the problem, not rushing through visits.

Providers Who Don’t Understand Your Sport

Athletes and active adults need rehab that reflects how they actually train and compete. We design recovery and performance plans built around the demands of your sport.

Your Journey From Injury Recovery to Peak Performance.

Rehab shouldn’t stop when the pain goes away. Our process bridges the gap between rehabilitation and performance training, guiding you step by step from injury recovery back to the activities and performance levels you want to achieve.

Step 1

Evaluate

We begin with a comprehensive movement evaluation and injury assessment to understand your goals, limitations, and performance needs.

Step 2

Optimize

Using targeted rehabilitation and corrective strategies, we restore mobility, strength, and efficient movement patterns.

Step 3

Train

Once your foundation is solid, we progress your training to build resilience, improve performance, and prevent future injuries.

Everything You Need From Rehab to Performance.

Serving Bridgeville, PA and the South Hills of Pittsburgh, our team delivers personalized physical therapy, training, and recovery services designed to help you move and perform at your best.

Real Results, Real Stories.

Hear directly from the clients who have experienced the difference at Totem Training and Performance.

"I reached out to Totem Training and Performance for help with a complex, chronic shoulder issue that was gradually worsening, hoping it would allow me to continue training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without severe pain — and I’m really glad I trusted my intuition. I had already worked with two physical therapists without much success, so this felt like a last-ditch effort, and honestly, I was skeptical anything could truly help.

I was proven wrong.
Tyler is an incredibly thorough and knowledgeable physical therapist, and the results speak for themselves. He’s especially skilled at integrating rehab exercises directly into your weight lifting sessions, making the therapy practical and highly effective for athletes.

What sets Totem apart, I believe, is their business model. You get focused, one-on-one sessions where every rep is watched, coached, and adjusted as needed. It’s nothing like the typical PT clinic, where therapists juggle multiple patients at once or rush through exercises without proper sequencing.

If you’re on the fence — especially if you haven’t had great experiences elsewhere — just take the plunge and reach out to them. You won’t be disappointed."

"I have been training with Totem Training and Performance for over a year, and the results have been incredible. Tyler has helped me safely rebuild my strength and recover from a back injury through personalized programming and expert guidance. Thanks to Totem, I am stronger, healthier, and more confident in my movements than ever before and I am truly appreciative of their perspectives and effort!"
John M.
Totem Client
"I’ve been working with Tyler at Totem Training and Performance for over a year now. At the beginning of 2025, I was in significant pain and struggled to walk consistently, which deeply impacted my daily function and quality of life. I had previously undergone hip surgery, yet never felt fully functional or truly confident in my movement. Through Tyler’s knowledgeable, individualized, and highly attentive approach to physical therapy, I’ve made meaningful and lasting progress."

"Totem provided the reset I needed to train for longevity. I was frustrated, with over a year of nagging neck pain, limited mobility, and nerve symptoms down my arm. I loved the intensity of HIIT group fitness classes but the movements seemed to make things worse. Tyler got to the root cause of the issue in our first session! The continuum of physical therapy into personal training provided a way for us to find the right modalities, movements, and loads to get me pain free within a month."

"I can't say enough good things about Gage and Totem Training & Performance! As a life-long competitive swimmer, my training has always focused heavily on in-pool work and cardio, but adding strength training under his guidance has been a total game-changer.

Gage took the time to understand my specific goals and worked to create a strength program tailored to improving my performance in the pool. He emphasizes explosive power and endurance, targeting muscles crucial for starts, turns, and stroke efficiency.

Not only did my strength improve, but I noticed a direct impact on my swimming times, setting Masters PR’s after just a few months. Gage takes the time to explain proper lifting techniques to avoid injury and complements my weightlifting with recovery and mobility exercises.

Gage and the guys at Totem bring a level of expertise and enthusiasm that is unmatched!"

Totem Client
"This place is seriously transformative, there have been countless times I’ve limped in there with unknown pain for various running injuries and walked out feeling 100% better. Gage is actually magic I don’t know how he does it, but he is by far the best in the field. I’ve tried other PTs, chiropractors, you name it. He’s the only one that’s been able to properly diagnose and FIX the problem, not just bandaid it."

Have Questions Before Getting Started? You’re in the Right Place.

We’ve answered the most common questions about our services, pricing, and process so you can feel confident taking the next step.

Do you take my insurance?

We are an out-of-network, cash-based practice, which allows us to provide true one-on-one care without the restrictions of insurance.

That means longer sessions, individualized treatment, and a focus on actually solving the root cause—not rushing you through a high-volume clinic.

Many of our clients choose this model because it leads to faster results and a higher level of care. If you’re unsure whether this is the right fit, our team is happy to walk you through your options.

How much does it cost?

Pricing varies based on your goals and the level of support you need.

We offer flexible, subscription-based memberships designed around how often you want to train or receive treatment each month.

This allows for consistency, better results, and a more personalized experience compared to traditional pay-per-visit models.

After you fill out our contact form, we’ll help you find the option that best fits your goals and budget.

What makes Totem Training and Performance different from other clinics or gyms?

Totem Training and Performance is built around one thing: delivering high-level, individualized care.

Unlike traditional clinics or gyms, every session is completely one-on-one—no shared time, no being passed between providers, and no cookie-cutter programs.

We take the time to truly understand your goals, identify the root cause of your limitations, and create a clear plan to help you move and perform at your best.

Our model prioritizes provider expertise, attention to detail, and results—so you can get better faster and stay that way.

What happens after I fill out the contact form?

Once you fill out the contact form, a member of our team will personally reach out to learn more about your goals, current limitations, and what you’re looking to achieve.

From there, we’ll guide you toward the best next step—whether that’s a physical therapy evaluation, training program, or a combination of both.

Our goal is to make the process simple, clear, and tailored to you from the very beginning.

How do I know which service is right for me?

If you’re currently dealing with pain or an injury, we typically recommend starting with a Physical Therapy Evaluation to identify the root cause and create a clear plan.

If your goal is performance, strength, or long-term health, personal training or a hybrid approach may be the best fit.

Not sure where to start? That’s exactly what we’re here for. After you submit a contact form, our team will guide you in the right direction and help you choose the option that fits your goals best.

Start Your Journey to Moving and Performing at Your Best
