Gym Rat Performance and Wellness Opens in Stevensville

Now Accepting Everyday Patients for Pro-Level Recovery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 9, 2025



Stevensville, MI  What do you get when you take a self described gym rat, who happens to be a four–sport athlete, add a passion for Physical Therapy, and a desire to change clients mindset from “lifespan” to “healthspan”? You get James Morris PT, DPT, CSCS and the owner of Gym Rat Performance and Wellness. 

 

Located on Red Arrow Highway in Stevensville, Gym Rat Performance and Wellness is redefining what recovery can look like - one that blends proven clinical care with the mindset and methodology of elite athletic training. Featuring one-on-one care for patients recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic pain, while also offering performance training and wellness services for individuals at every fitness level. 

 

“Whether you’re an athlete coming off a sports injury or just someone who wants to move pain-free again, our mission is to help you recover, rebuild, and perform with confidence,” said Morris. “We train and treat everyone like an athlete—because movement is essential, no matter your background.”

 

Gym Rat Performance & Wellness is a licensed physical therapy provider, meaning many treatment sessions may be covered by insurance. The clinic specializes in:

  • Orthopedic and sports injury rehabilitation
  • Post-surgical recovery
  • Chronic pain management
  • Performance-based physical therapy
  • Personalized treatment plans
  • Titleist Performance Institute Certified Golf Simulator 

 

In addition to physical therapy, the clinic offers services like golf simulation, massage, dry needling, and strength training programs designed to bridge the gap between recovery and performance.

 

“We saw a need in the community for care that not only gets you out of pain, but keeps you there,” said Morris. “Our clients aren’t just here to recover—they’re here to get stronger, more mobile, and more resilient.”

 

Gym Rat strives to educate and promote “healthspan” in their work; in doing so they shift the mindset of their clients from that of simply being “alive” but being truly deemed healthy in our lives.
