The Physical Therapists
Meet the physical therapists at our Shelby Township clinic who will guide you through your sports rehab journey
Dr. Jake Souva
PT, DPT, CSCS, XPS. Owner of Souva PT and Performance
Owner of Souva PT and Performance, Dr. Jake Souva built this clinic to be the premier sports rehab clinic in southeast Michigan. Dr. Souva brings experience working with athletes of all skill levels, from recreational to professional. Dr. Souva graduated from Oakland University and continues as a teaching assistant in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program.
When Dr. Jake knew he couldn’t treat athletes with the level of care they required at a traditional clinic, he decided to make his own. Souva PT and Performance was born in 2023 and has helped hundreds of athletes rewrite the ending to their injury story.
His faith in Jesus Christ, his family; wife Nichole, sons Brady and Elijah, and dogs Bubba and Barrett are the foundation his life is built on.
He is a sports enthusiast, both playing and watching and enjoys TV shows and movies. His favorite sport is football, with baseball being a close second and his favorite movie is Interstellar.
Dr. Jake would love the opportunity to help you get back in the game and finally put injury in the past.

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.

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.
Our clinic is located inside Umbra Strength, a state of the art gym in Shelby Township, MI.
