Our Core Values

What We Stand & Sit For
Physical therapy 8

We Pursue Perfection

While perfection is impossible, it’s the peak we pursue. We aim to collect quality data from each interaction and use these data to evolve our services. We aim to be better today than yesterday.
We Do Things Differently

We Do Things Differently

Creative. Innovative. Weird. We see the status quo and aim to break it. We prioritize people over profits. We empower people with the tools needed to thrive, independent of us. And when we say people, we mean all people.

We Commit To Community

We are committed to help meet the needs of our community through providing accessible and inclusive education and training. We believe that stronger individuals yield stronger communities and vice versa. “For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack" - Rudyard Kipling

We Wonder

We believe a sense of wonder drives learning. We constantly ask questions to our clients, colleagues, and selves. We self-reflect and keep an open mind to ensure we aren’t missing out on a learning opportunity. They say that curiosity killed the cat, but they also say that satisfaction brought it back.

We Live With Levity

We believe that when life gets heavy, laughter lightens the load. While we take our work seriously, we're closer to our peaks when we're having a good time. Our goal is for each client to leave each session with a little more levity.

Meet Reed

Reed and his life partner Kaci (also a physical therapist) moved from Columbia, South Carolina to Fort Smith in December of 2020 with the goal of improving healthcare in the region through providing top-tier physical therapy and education. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and PhD in Exercise Science, Reed has studied exercise and movement for over a decade. He specializes in helping athletes and individuals with neurological diagnoses such as Parkinson’s, spinal cord injury, and stroke reach their peaks.

Reed founded SHIFT Peak Performance to answer one question, “where would you send your (insert loved one) for some epic physical therapy?”
