Principle Performance Testimonials
Dr. Mike is thoughtful, personable, and intentional. I tore my calf in 2022 and he helped me get back to my activity level before my injury. He listened to my goals and created a treatment plan to get me there. Throughout my treatment, he diagnosed deficiencies in other areas that could lead to other injuries. We addressed them and gave me tools to continue building strength and mobility.
I saw Michael, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Not only was he friendly, the facility was clean, and Dr Michael’s expertise was evident. He also is very thorough in his assessment and provides good guidance and exercises to help with the injury. On top of that he is very personable, friendly, and caring. I felt significant relief after just a few sessions. Highly recommended for anyone seeking effective physical therapy and chiropractic care to see Dr Michael.
Every time I leave Principle Performance I feel great! Dr.Gontarek really knows how to cure your aches and pains. It’s reassuring to know that there’s a reliable specialist who not only understands the root causes of pain but also provides effective treatment. This consistent level of care and attention to detail is what sets Principle Performance apart, ensuring that each patient walks away with improved health and a smile.
I started seeing Dr Mike last summer for some reccurring pain in my trap/shoulder area. After an assessment he discovered that the pain was caused by a deranged thoracic disc and was not an actual shoulder/trap issue, which is why previous treatments only eradicted my symptoms for short periods of time. He treated the deranged disc and the pain finally went away for good. I’ve seen him consistently since then to work through some other old injuries as they flare up. He always seeks out and treats the cause of the issue rather than just treating he pain. He has been amazing! Being an athlete himself he understands the desire to find modifications that keep me in the gym and he understands the demands of my sport on my body. Highly recommend!

Finally a physician that’s getting it “right” for sports rehab and nutrition coaching. As a former Division I collegiate athlete, CrossFit coach, 200hr RYT, and current olympic lifter, I’ve worked with Mike to rehab and recover from two severe injuries (C5-C6 disc buldge osteophyte compex and lumbar spine disc injury) and to learn proper nutrition to support my train ing and safely maintian weight for my competitive weight class. During my rehab, Mike not only treated the injury and perscribed exercises, he supported me in finding a way to train and exercise to actually improve my health and fitness in other areas while I was safely treating my injuries.

Dr. Gontarek is not only extremely knowledgeable, but he is extremely passionate and patient and takes the time to get to know his patients on a personal level. He carefully crafts specific treatment plans tailored to each individual and helps them achieve confidence in moving pain free again. I have worked with him myself, and several of the athletes I coach have seen him as well. He is the first person I recommend when my athletes come to me with injuries, pain management issues, or movement pattern issues that cannot be addressed via typical exercise solutions. I cannot say enough good things about him.
