Jake Souva
PT, DPT, CSCS
Physical Therapist
Strength & Conditioning Coach
I am Jake Souva, The owner of Souva Physical Therapy and Performance! I am a doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). I graduated from Oakland University in Rochester Hills, Michigan and continue to serve as a teaching assistant in the physical therapy program in the cadaver lab!
I love spending time with my family. My wife Nichole, our sons (Brady and Elijah) and of course our dogs (Bubba and Barrett) bring me joy that I can’t rally put into words. I love everything about sports, whether it be playing, watching, or training for them. My favorite sport is a close contest between football and baseball. My faith in Jesus Christ forms the foundation for everything in my life and I view every day as a way to help others in the way he has called me to.
Dominic Mora
PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
Strength & Conditioning Coach
Hey! I’m Dominic, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and strength and conditioning coach! I graduated from Wayne State University with a strong interest in sports and orthopedic rehabilitation. I enjoy working with patients of all activity levels, from high level competitive athletes to your weekend warrior seeking to move pain free and return to the activities they enjoy. As a lifelong baseball fan, I have a particular passion for working with overhead athletes and helping them return to peak performance safely and confidently. I combine evidence-based practice with individualized, goal-oriented care to support both injury recovery and long-term health. In my free time I enjoy playing baseball, watching Detroit sports, watching movies, and eating great food.
frequently asked questions
Our priority is to deliver 1 on 1 care that exceeds your expectations of what ACL rehab should look like.
Because of that, we are only in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield Michigan PPO plans.
If you have an insurance we are out of network with, we will work with you to create a self-pay plan that gets you back to 100% and fits your financial circumstances.
Check out this video HERE to learn more about why we are mostly out of network.
Absolutely! With many patients having high deductible plans now, we are able to accept HSA/FSA cards as payment.
Your physical therapy sessions are one-on-one, 45 minutes with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Plan to arrive 5–10 minutes early so you’re ready to start right on time
Your first visit is a full-body, 1 on 1 assessment. No guessing, just measurable results. We evaluate strength, mobility, movement patterns, and function from head to toe to pinpoint the root of your pain or performance limits. From this objective testing, we build a clear, data-driven plan to get you moving and training at your best, pain-free.
Yes! Every patient gets lifetime access to their custom home program inside the Souva PT mobile app.
Each program has video exercise demonstrations and custom exercise parameters to perfectly fit your needs.
Have a question when you're doing your program? You can message your physical therapist right inside the app.
In most cases, you do not need a physician’s referral to start physical therapy.
You can schedule directly with us and begin your evaluation right away.
Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance does requires a referral, so you will need a script prior to your first session for us to bill insurance.
We’ll guide you through the process to make it simple.
The number of visits depends on the type of injury and complexity of your case. Most non-surgical sports injuries can be resolved in 10–15 sessions. Post-operative rehab, which can take 6–12 months, typically requires a longer plan. We’ll work with you to create a personalized program that fits your goals and your lifestyle.
