Who Forge PT & Performance Helps

Golfers whose back, hip, or shoulder pain is costing them distance, consistency, and enjoyment on the course.

Runners whose knee, hip, or Achilles pain keeps derailing training — whether you're chasing a Boston qualifier or just want to run without fear.

Active Adults who refuse to accept "just rest" as a plan — you want to lift, ski, hike, and play without paying for it for days afterward.

Most PT clinics treat pain. FORGE treats the reason you're in pain — and builds you stronger than you were before.

  • 4 PTS STILL PAIN --> LIFE CHANGING PT------------------------------------------------------------------I can’t recommend Adam Liptak and this practice highly enough. After suffering for over a year, spending exorbitant amounts of money seeing 4 physical therapists, 2 orthopedic surgeons, and getting endless imaging done, going to sustain physical therapy was my last attempt to solve my running injury before pulling out of the Boston Marathon. From the moment I started with Adam the service was unmatched and I knew I was in the best hands. Adam couldn’t be more knowledgeable, thorough, or thoughtful. He’s the kind of clinician who truly loves what he does and deeply cares about his work. He immediately alleviated any anxiety I had about my injury, as it was clear from the start he knew exactly what he was doing and had everything under control. Within a month, I was back up and running, training in ways I could only have dreamed of just weeks earlier. There isn’t a better service out there. I have saved money in the long run and protected my health by choosing this practice. If you are looking for a physical therapist for a running injury, I can guarantee the care you will receive is absolutely priceless.

  • CHRONIC SHOULDER PAIN --> TRAINING PAIN FREE----------------------------------------------------------I started working with Adam after dealing with long-term, ambiguous hip and shoulder issues that were blocking me from training the way I wanted. Doctors couldn't pinpoint what was wrong because there wasn’t structural damage, but it was still limiting me in and out of the gym. Adam immediately stood out. He was able to identify which muscles weren’t firing correctly or were weak, and built a smart, evolving program that adjusted week to week based on my progress. His approach focused on activating the right muscles through movement instead of static stretching, and it actually worked. I saw real improvement within the first couple of weeks and kept building over the course of a year. Adam made sure I felt heard every session. Nothing was generic. He tailored everything to my body and goals, and when setbacks happened (as they do), we worked through them and kept moving forward. He built all my programs in the app with exercises, weights, and sets clearly laid out, and we stayed in touch between sessions to keep things on track. On top of that, Adam’s just a great guy - smart, fun to work with, and someone I genuinely looked forward to seeing. I’ve already been trying to get a friend in there with a tricky shoulder issue because I trust Adam to figure it out. Everything about working with Adam has been 10 out of 10. I’m planning to keep seeing him even without acute pain just to stay aligned on my goals, technique, and continued progress.

  • KNEE PAIN --> PAIN FREE AFTER 3 SURGERIES----------------------------------------------------------------------"I could not recommend Dr. Adam L more highly. I've been struggling with knee issues for most of my life from sports, weightlifting, etc, including having had 3 knee surgeries. After this last surgery, I was unsatisfied with my recovery process/boilerplate PT. Now a couple months in, I'm already able to do things pain free that I haven't been able to do in years. Adam is fully invested in his clients and creates highly-tailored plans, including helping with other nagging injuries that pop up. If you're serious about your health and performance, you absolutely need to work with Adam. My only regret is that I didn't switch over sooner, it's truly been life changing!"

  • 10 YEAR BACK PAIN --> LIFETIME WEIGHTLIFTING PRS-------------------------------------------------"Working with Adam has been a game changer and I cannot recommend him highly enough! I had pretty severe lower back pain for over a year and it had worsened to the point where it was affecting my ability to perform simple day-to-day physical activities as well as my ability to sleep well through the night. Adam identified several issues, in particular some hip flexibility/mobility issues, that were potentially causing my symptoms. He developed a tailored physical therapy program that focused on improving both the flexibility and strength of the relevant muscle groups. After just a month of working the program, my symptoms had diminished to the point where I felt better day-to-day than I had in years! I wish I had contacted him sooner!! Adam’s attention to detail, thorough explanations of each phase of the program and overall positive attitude has kept me motivated and pushed me to achieve lifts I would not have thought possible just a few months ago."

  • CHRONIC SHOULDER PAIN --> PAIN FREE TRAINING-------------------------------------------------------"Dr. Adam Liptak treated me for a shoulder injury and I couldn’t be happier with the results. When I started, I was really in a lot of pain and my limited mobility was impacting my ability to exercise and do daily tasks. Throughout my treatment, my pain levels and range of motion consistently improved until my shoulder was back to normal. Adam is highly knowledgeable and his passion for his work is clear from the very first session. He is also one of the kindest people you will ever meet and is a true professional. I really value the personalized care I received. Each session and home workout was tailored to the stage I was at. The workouts included a wide variety of exercises and were continually updated to progress my strength and mobility. Adam also worked with me to build my general fitness to prevent reinjury."

  • ABLE TO RUN THE BOSTON MARATHON PAIN FREE-------------------------------------------------------I came to Adam to address knee pain that started during my Boston Marathon training. I was new to physical therapy so wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. In the initial appointment Adam took the time to understand my goals and training routine in n addition to analyzing my biomechanics, and offering his prognosis for what was causing my knee pain. After only a few sessions my knee pain went from stopping my runs to being hardly noticeable. Not only was Adam able to help me overcome my knee pain, he offered valuable advice on how to incorporate strength and mobility work as part of my overall training plan. 10/10 I would recommend Dr Adam Liptak to anyone who is looking to get over a lingering pain or learn how to properly train your body for the movements you care about.

  • GROIN INJURY -->RUNNING FIRST MARATHON---------------------------------------------------------------------I can't recommend Adam Liptak enough! I originally contacted him to get help with diagnosing and rehabbing a nasty groin injury that popped up during marathon prep. After a couple of sessions I was back running pain free and Adam had also identified a bunch of imbalances that potentially lead to the injury. I'd such a good experience that I signed up for an additional 6 sessions to work on other weaknesses in my upper body / posture. Now that I better understand my body mechanics, I'm a stronger runner and have been making much more progress in the gym. I’m happy I am able to get to the finish line stronger than ever!!"

  • BACK INJURY --> BACK TO GOLF, SKIING AND CLASSES-------------------------------------------------------I’ve been working with Dr. Adam for almost a year to build back strength and resilience after a lower back injury. During the course of my injury, there were times I never thought I would be pain free nor back to my daily life as normal. But throughout this time, he provided targeted exercises and specific guidance based on my evolving goals including getting back into workout classes, golf, and skiing—with each of these having a tailored approach. I am now happily back to all activities and it’s all thanks to Dr. Adam’s thoughtful plan. I’m not sure where I’d be without!

  • HIP AND ACHILLES PAIN --> RUNNING AND GOLF PAIN FREE---------------------------------------------I had the pleasure of working with Adam Liptak for a few months as I was working through a hip and achilles injury. Adam is incredibly knowledgeable and took time to understand my injuries and design a program to fix them both. From a patient's perspective, he was very easy to work with and made sure that I always had everything I needed. I'd recommend him to anyone who is coming back from an injury or looking to improve performance!

  • KNEE PAIN --> PAIN FREE RUNNING, GOLF PERFORMANCE------------------------------------Working with Dr. Adam at Sustain was a fantastic experience. Not only did he help me return to running after a nagging knee injury, but he helped me improve my mechanics across lifting, running, and golfing. I enjoyed every session and felt personally cared for. Highly recommend!!

    - Alison N

  • ACHILLES PAIN --> RUNNING AND LIFTING PAIN FREE------------------------------------------------------Adam L. has been a huge help in my recovery from an Achilles injury and in improving my overall mobility, including addressing some long-standing issues. He’s knowledgeable, thoughtful, and tailors everything to what I actually need. I’ve made real progress and feel stronger and more confident because of his guidance. Highly recommend.

  • KNEE PAIN --> PAIN FREE MARATHON ---------------------------------------------------------------Great experience with Adam. My initial evaluation was super efficient and I came away with a training plan to help me effectively train for my upcoming marathon. Adam really helped tailor the training program to my specific needs. Would recommend!"

    - Jacob K

  • CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN --> PAIN FREE GOLF AND RUNNING---------------------------------------------I first visited with prolonged back/hip discomfort and Adam helped me strengthen both areas so I can get back to doing what I love to do, running and golfing. Would highly recommend Adam Liptak.

  • HIP PAIN --> BEST MARATHON TRAINING BLOCK------------------- I started working with Adam Liptak earlier this year to address hip pain at the start of a marathon training block. My hip pain was gone after a couple of weeks, but I decided to continue working with Adam for the remainder of the training block. With his expert guidance and custom training plans, I was finally incorporating strength and mobility into my running in a meaningful way. It resulted in my best marathon training block to date, with a strong finish in Boston, and I can't thank Adam enough for that. Would definitely recommend!

    - Tom C

  • HIP PAIN --> NYC MARATHON AND BEYOND-------------------------I had a phenomenal experience PTing a hip injury with Adam L., while also successfully building a training plan for the NYC marathon! Excited to stay on as a client as I prep for Boston. Adam really supported me and set me up for success with my Hip PT, while also tailoring all my running and cross-train planning. I have been recommending him to friends and colleagues.
