Premier Physical Therapy in Shelby township, MI
Don’t Let Injury Define Your Story
Your comeback starts here
Not all sports physical therapy is built the same.
Athletes shouldn’t be stuck on the same treatment plan as a couch potato.
And you shouldn’t have to fight for your physical therapist’s attention while they juggle multiple patients at once.
If you want to come back stronger than before your injury, you need a program built specifically for you, your sport, and your goals. That is exactly what we do.
how we help you get back to what you love
Your physical therapy sessions are 45 minutes of 1 on 1 care. No techs or aides, just undivided attention from a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Your PT will use a blend of hands on manual therapy and exercises methods to help build your perfect session.
Each session will build on the last, and we regress/progress your program as necessary to ensure you are on the path to success.
We believe the fastest path to results is a fully customized rehab plan because no two athletes are the same.
You’ll get access to the Souva PT & Performance app, where your personalized sports physical therapy program lives. You’ll have lifetime access to the plan we build specifically for you.
Every detail is laid out clearly. No guesswork, no confusion.
What you do outside of sessions is what makes the biggest difference, and we make sure you’re set up to win.
When you feel heard, you’re more likely to succeed. That’s why communication is a core part of our sports physical therapy process.
You’ll have direct access to your physical therapist through the Souva PT & Performance mobile app.
Questions about your program or progress? Send a message and your PT will respond within 24 hours, so you can stay on track without waiting for your next session.
This is the main reason you should choose a clinic that specializes in sports physical therapy. We love seeing you get back to excelling at the things you love to do most and will do whatever it takes to help you get there.

Jake’s the best and helped me get back to feeling good after a bilateral hernia repair. Highly recommendPosted on Stephen Hooper IITrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Matthew CaseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Jake with multiple issues, and he’s stayed committed to helping me with each one. Each session he gives you his full undivided attention, and he’s always updating my plan to reflect what’s been working best for me. I can’t recommend him highly enough!Posted on Erwin RauschendorferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake has been great, his physical therapy skills are wonderful. He has helped my sciatica issues. He has been able to get me back into working out and I feel that now I’m making real progress.Posted on jaden bennettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to see Jake at SOUVA For a month now. I went to him for upper back and shoulder pain as a competitive power lifter. Week one of starting physical therapy my mobility was not very great and I only felt 50%. After a few sessions, my whole upper body is feeling back to its 90%. Jake is so kind and he has treated me with nothing but kindness. He gives his full attention to each one of his clients and gives us all the resources we need. Jake gave me an app with my rehab program so even when I’m not at physical therapy I’m still able to do my exercise exercises from home or at the gym! I couldn’t recommend SOUVA and Jake more!Posted on Carrie LittlefieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake is an outstanding physical therapist! He worked with my daughter on her knee injury, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. His knowledge and expertise were clear from day one, and he took the time to explain each step of the process so both my daughter and I understood her treatment plan. I especially appreciated the one-on-one attention he gave her and the consistent communication with us as parents. Jake was patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her progress. Thanks to him, she has healed well and feeling confident again. We had a great experience and highly recommend Jake to anyone needing a caring and skilled physical therapist!Posted on John RodriguezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake is awesome! He pays attention to what you are looking to get out of Physical Therapy and really helps you reach that goal. I went to him for knee pain after surgery. I first went to another therapist and I did not really see much progress. Jake offers individualized approach to your recovery and only a few sessions in I have noticed improvement! I highly recommend him!Posted on AngelaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake is phenomenal. I have a herniated disc at my L5/S1 and he's been incredible to work with over the past several weeks. I've been in between getting surgery and trying to heal on my own, but within the first two weeks working with him, I had already noticed my strength starting to come back and pain decrease - a complete 180 from working with other PT places I've been at. The 1:1 hands on support and knowledge you get is unmatched. I'm a personal trainer myself, so movement is a huge part of my job/life and he's helped build my confidence in re-introducing different movement patterns again. I can't wait to continue to work with Jake on my healing journey!Posted on Leeza FortnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an athletic trainer (ATC) who is recovering from an Achilles rupture, I highly recommend Jake Souva. He is filled with knowledge and has helped me achieve more success than I thought I could get at this point in my recovery. Choosing Jake for PT was definitely the right decision.Posted on Sarah HomerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake has gone above and beyond helping my son recover from knee injuries!
