You're not alone.
Most grapplers have been through this vicious cycle:
"Just light rolls this week, my shoulder's acting up again"
When training at 50% becomes your new normal
"I'm taking a few weeks off to rest... again"
Six months later, you're still 'resting' and it still hurts
"Does anyone know a good PT who understands BJJ?"
Spoiler: The one you found gave you a resistance band and said 'stop grappling'

It's Not Just A Sport
When training is your outlet, being sidelined isn't just physical—it eats at your identity, progress, and peace of mind.

Most BJJ athletes experience at least one significant injury in their training career.
BJJ Injuries We Treat:
Finger Injuries
From grip fighting to torn ligaments—we fix what keeps you from holding grips
Elbow Injuries
Armbar damage, hyperextension, chronic elbow pain—get back to submissions safely
Knee Injuries
Guard work and leg locks taking a toll? Protect your knees without giving up your game
Shoulder Injuries
From kimuras to awkward scrambles—shoulder injuries that won't quit training
Back Injuries
Throwing, bridging, and guard work shouldn't mean chronic back pain
Neck Injuries
Guillotines, stacking, and neck cranks—common but shouldn't be ignored

Finally, Physical Therapy That Speaks BJJ
We're not just familiar with BJJ—we live it. Our providers are active grapplers who built a specialized assessment and treatment system specifically for combat sports injuries.
Sport-Specific Expertise
We train BJJ ourselves. We understand armbar escapes, guard pulling mechanics, and why your fingers hurt after spider guard. You'll never have to explain your sport to us.
Capture movement
Use training footage or live video. We detect motion markers with precision, no extra hardware needed.

The I3 Model Assessment System
Our proprietary assessment identifies three root causes: Incomplete mechanics (movement dysfunction), Incidents (acute trauma), and Injuries (tissue damage). We don't just treat symptoms—we fix what caused them.
Spot small shifts
We track asymmetries, form changes and deviations over time — turning subtle patterns into clear signals.

About Us
Built by a Grappler, For Grapplers.
We're grapplers who became PTs specifically to fill the gap in grappling healthcare.
The Problem: 6 Months of Going Nowhere
Founder Dalton Urrutia couldn't find a single PT who understood grappling injuries. Traditional physical therapy failed him for 6 months straight.
The Solution: If It Doesn't Exist, Build It
When nobody could help him get back on the mats, Dalton went to PT school to solve it himself—and for every grappler facing the same frustration.
The Result: 15 Years, 500+ Athletes
Today, Grapplers Performance is the specialized virtual clinic Dalton wished existed when he was injured. We're grapplers who became PTs specifically to fill the gap in grappling healthcare.
Dalton Urrutia
Founder, CEO & Performance Physical Therapist
Dalton founded Performx to help athletes better understand their movement, injuries, and body, in order to keep them doing what they love. Dalton has expertise in movement, strength & conditioning and exercise science and believes that education and understanding injury/the body combined with exercise-based rehab is the key to effective rehab.
Having opened a clinic in London and launched a successful virtual physical therapy business, he's excited to be back supporting his local community in the Willamette Valley.
Outside of the clinic Dalton loves rolling on the mats, flying leisure airplanes and exploring the local area with his wife, Sydney, their 2 boys, and dog, Ipa.
Dr. Tom Hanson, DPT
Virtual Performance Physical Therapist
Tom believes that long-term performance and resilience start with understanding how the whole body works together.
Tom started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2012 and earned his black belt in 2024. He continues to train and teach regularly and has a deep passion for working with grapplers and combat athletes.
Tom holds a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and has been practicing since 2018. He’s worked extensively with both everyday athletes and high-level competitors, always with the same goal: helping people move with confidence and purpose.
At home, Tom is a proud dad to three young boys and two rescue dogs. When he’s not in the clinic or on the mats, you’ll find him fixing up guitars, exploring outdoors with his family, or homeschooling alongside his wife.
