C.O.M.P.E.T.E Physical Therapy & Wellness LLC

I've been working with Dr. Lizette of C.OM.P.E.T.E Physical Therapy for several months now, and I have nothing but good things to say! I started with her to address ankle pain which seems to be fully remedied along with my need for new orthotics every month. Another reason I started with Lizette was to evaluate my terrible running form and has improved drastically along with my pace. I've also seen improvements in shoulder pain/mobility after only a session. Last but not least, her accessibility is second to none! I've had to speak with her after hours (and a weekend) and been able to do so. While that kind of availability isn't something a provider should have to guarantee, she's always been there! Thank you C.O.M.P.E.T.E!

Absolutely love Dr Lizette. My daughter has visited several orthopedic clinics for her knee pain over the past 2 years, and this is the first doctor that was able to help her. After 1 session my daughter was feeling relief, and was giving exercises that have improved her mobility immensely. I highly recommend Dr Lizette and all the professionals at COMPETE.

I’ve been working with Dr. Lizette Sunde, PT, for the past 3 months, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and care. As a runner of 23 years who has completed 66 full marathons, I’ve encountered my fair share of injuries—ranging from minor annoyances to serious, stop-you-in-your-tracks issues. Dr. Sunde has been instrumental in helping me navigate these challenges. She takes a comprehensive approach, identifying my weak points and tailoring exercises to address them. Her focus is not just on short-term recovery, but on long-term injury prevention, which aligns perfectly with my goal of running for life. Thanks to Dr. Sunde’s guidance and support, I feel more confident in my ability to stay strong and healthy as I continue to pursue my passion for running. If you’re an athlete looking for someone who truly understands the body’s needs and how to keep it performing at its best, I highly recommend Dr. Lizette Sunde!

I am a runner and pickleball player. Hip issues were affecting my activity level. From the first appointment, working with Dr. Lizette, the pain in my hip that radiated down my quad significantly decreased. The exercises provided by Dr. Lizette has really helped me strengthen the weakened muscles. The weekly sessions always improve my mobility and decrease my level of pain. I highly recommend Dr. Lizette to assist you in any pain you may be having that’s limiting your activity level and what you love to do!

I have been seeing Dr. Sunde for the past 6 months to rehab my shoulder, foot, and back from various running and weightlifting injuries. She has been phenomenal to work with! I appreciate her realistic approach to getting me back to running and weightlifting performance through treatment, dry needling, Shockwave sessions, and PT exercises. You can see that she genuinely cares about getting her patients back and even better than they were coming in. My back was acting up and she was able to get me in the very same day for a session, which doesn't happen at a lot of places. I highly recommend C.O.M.P.E.T.E Physical Therapy to get back in the game!

She is awesome! I came in as an injured collegiate volleyball player and we worked on rehabbing and strengthening not only my injured ankle, but the rest of my body--realizing there are many things that affect the ankle and my overall performance when playing & even living daily life:) Cannot recommend enough after coming in with a lot of pain, and now I have minimized that almost completely--she was even able to meet with me on early mornings before work!!

I started working with Lizette back in October for Achilles pain. I started having pain in July and went to PT at another medical facility and after about 4-5 sessions was told there wasn’t much more they could do for me. At this time walking was still very painful and I thought my running days were done. After recommendations from fellow runners I decided to try going to Lizette at COMPETE Physical Therapy. I had my first appointment in October. After weeks and months of PT, dry needling and home exercises and many ups and downs along the way I finally started seeing progress. I was finally able to walk without pain. Then finally in April was given the ok to try running again. I took it easy at first with a run walk approach. I am happy to report that after 9+ months I am able to run again. I recently did a 4 mile run which is my longest run in about 11 months! It is great to be back running and I appreciate Lizette’s perseverance and encouragement when I was about ready to resign to not being able to ever run again. Thanks Lizette for your expertise and helping me get back to the things I enjoy doing!

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Dr. Lizette at C.O.M.P.E.T.E Physical Therapy & Wellness. After suffering from a shoulder injury that left me unable to lift anything overhead, I was worried I'd never get back to my regular weightlifting routine. However, from my very first session, Dr. Lizette instilled a sense of hope and confidence in my recovery. Her thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan were nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Lizette used a variety of techniques, including manual therapy, targeted exercises, and education on proper form and biomechanics. She is incredibly knowledgeable, always explaining the purpose behind each exercise and adjustment, which made me feel more involved in my own recovery process. The progress we made was steady and noticeable, and after two months of dedicated therapy, I am thrilled to say that I am back to lifting overhead without pain. Dr. Lizette not only helped me recover from my injury but also taught me how to prevent future injuries and optimize my performance. Her expertise and compassionate approach made a world of difference, and I am beyond grateful for her support and guidance. If you're in need of a skilled and caring physical therapist, I highly recommend Dr. Lizette at C.O.M.P.E.T.E Physical Therapy & Wellness. She is truly the best in the field!
