Is Pain Holding You Back From Living Your Best Life?
You deserve better than traditional healthcare that doesn't understand your goals.
You're Stuck in Endless Treatment Cycles
You've tried traditional PT through insurance, but after months of cookie-cutter exercises and rushed 15-minute appointments, you're still in pain and no closer to your goals.
Your Provider Doesn't Get Your 'Why'
You're motivated to get back to working out, playing sports, or staying active with family—but your healthcare providers treat you like you just need to 'take it easy' instead of understanding what drives you.
You're Avoiding the Activities You Love
Pain is forcing you to skip workouts, cut runs short, or miss out on activities with friends and family. You're frustrated watching from the sidelines when you know you should be out there.

The traditional medical model has failed people like us. Athletes' Potential is built differently. We're a cash-based physical therapy clinic where athletes treat athletes—because we understand your goals personally.

Real Results From Real Decatur Patients
"After working with Dr. Colten for a couple of months, I'm back to squatting and deadlifting—something I really didn't think would happen without surgery. The traditional PT approach through insurance never did much for me in the past, but receiving personalized care based on my specific needs has made a huge difference."

Fitness Wildflower
I am thrilled to share my experience with Colton at Athlete's Performance in Decatur! As a Pilates Instructor and personal trainer, I understand the importance of targeted rehabilitation, and Colton exceeded all my expectations. Each session was meticulously planned, focusing on my specific issues while incorporating a holistic view of my body mechanics. I am now back to doing what I love, with significantly reduced pain and increased freedom of movement!

I had an epidural injection in my neck 15 months before seeing Caleb. I was never out of pain in that time. After 10 sessions, I felt better than I had in years. Now, 2 months after my last appointment, I just had a 100% pain free round of golf. Can't recommend him and the whole facility enough. The experience changed my life.
Andrea L.
I came to Athletes Potential after having to stop a run short from shooting pain at my right ankle. After seeing Dr. Charlotte Baron, it was the first time it was clear that I had suffered a stress fracture. Dr. Baron was extremely understanding and compassionate on how important this was to me. Not only has working with her helped me in my recovery process of this acute injury, but she is so incredibly thorough that she has picked up on other areas of weakness in my running and strength.
