About Proof Physical Therapy and Performance

The clinic that treats the cause.

Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. Manage them long enough and they quietly become the plan. We opened in Flagstaff in 2016 to end them instead: one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every visit.

Our Story

This isn’t our story. It’s yours.

Dr. Jordan Williams, DPT, who founded Proof Physical Therapy and Performance in 2016

Dr. Jordan Williams, DPT, Cert DN, Founder

I earned my B.S. in Physiology at the University of Arizona. Then I worked as a PT tech in Tucson, where I picked up Spanish well enough to treat in it. I graduated from the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Northern Arizona University in 2014. My doctoral capstone was on diagnosis and treatment of concussion in the physical therapy setting.

I opened Proof in Flagstaff in November 2016 because I had seen the other model up close. Patients stacked up, a tech running the exercises, a printout at the door. So I built the opposite. One person, one plan, and a straight answer about what is actually causing the pain instead of a list of the places it hurts.

Since then I have built out a cyclist assessment program, trained as a Level 2 Running Gait Analyst through RunDNA, and worked with local teams through their off seasons. Away from the clinic I am on a mountain bike, playing bass, in the woodshop, or camping with my wife and our three kids. None of that is the point of this page. You are. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.

“We want you to be the proof that what we do works.”

What We Believe

Four things we’ll never compromise.

Your visit. Not shared.

No techs bouncing between rooms, no handoff halfway through: one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every visit.

Cause first. Symptoms follow.

You’ve chased the sore spot before and never once heard why it started. We start with the why, because that’s the part that keeps it from coming back.

Plans end. That’s the point.

You shouldn’t need a punch card to stay out of pain. Your plan has a finish line, and you’ll always know how close you are to it.

You’re not a protocol.

Your job, your winters, your goals: the plan gets built around those, never pulled off a generic sheet.

The Difference

Not your typical clinic.

A typical clinic

  • You start over, explaining your pain to someone new
  • Your visit gets split with whoever else is booked
  • The same pain finds its way back later
  • No finish line, just book again next week

Proof Physical Therapy and Performance

  • One-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every visit
  • The same clinician, start to finish, uninterrupted
  • A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
  • A plan with an endpoint, mapped out on day one

One less hurdle: in Arizona you don’t need a physician referral or a prescription to start physical therapy. Medicare, Medicaid, and a few other plans do require one. Otherwise, you can just call us.

Rooted in Flagstaff

This is our neighborhood too.

We’ve been treating Flagstaff since 2016: your neighbors, your teammates, your kids’ coaches. The mom pushing through it so nobody else has to worry is already on our schedule. So is the dad who keeps shoveling the drive with a shoulder he never mentions. You’re not a case number here. You’re someone we’ll run into at the trailhead.
