Our Story · Lubbock, TX

Built Different.
On Purpose.

Performance medicine built for people who refuse to accept “normal.”

PPW started with a simple belief: the best healthcare doesn’t just fix what’s broken — it builds something better. We created West Texas’s only truly integrated performance and wellness center because the existing system wasn’t built for people who want to optimize, not just survive.

The Origin

Why We
Built This.

PPW began as a physical therapy clinic. Alberto Florez had trained to become an orthopedic surgeon before pivoting to PT — driven by a desire to help people return to the activities they love, not just recover from surgery. As the practice grew, so did the vision.

After expanding to a larger facility, Alberto began building a collaborative model where multiple healthcare disciplines could work under one roof, from one data set, toward one plan. That’s when Stuart Riggins entered the picture.

Stuart had spent years in primary care watching patients receive prescriptions for symptoms that had roots deeper than any pill could reach. He ran a wellness clinic in Arizona before returning to West Texas. When he and Alberto compared notes, they realized they were solving the same problem from different angles. PPW was the answer.

“Normal lab values don’t mean optimal performance. We built PPW to treat the gap between what’s acceptable and what’s possible.”

“People don’t need to experience a steady decline as they age. That’s not biology — that’s a failure of the system to look hard enough.”

What Sets Us Apart

One System.
Every Discipline.

Truly Integrated

Your PT, your performance coach, and your medical provider all operate from the same assessment data and the same game plan. No silos. No handoffs. No lost context.

Always One-on-One

Every session, every time, with your actual provider — not a tech or assistant. The clinician who assessed you is the one who gets you better.

Optimization, Not Just Recovery

Most clinics stop at symptom resolution. PPW builds you past your baseline. Our goal is a version of you that performs better than before you came in.

Our Philosophy

Four Steps.
One System.

Every patient who walks through our doors moves through the same integrated protocol — customized to their biology, their goals, and their timeline.

We don’t treat symptoms. We treat the whole system. Results compound when PT, performance training, medical optimization, and recovery protocols all speak the same language.

Step 01

Assess

Comprehensive evaluation of movement quality, physiology, labs, and history. We find root causes, not just presenting symptoms.

Step 02

Build

Strength, force production, and tissue durability. Your physical foundation rebuilt to exceed your pre-injury or pre-fatigue baseline.

Step 03

Optimize

Hormones, recovery, nutrition, and regenerative protocols dialed in to your biology. Data-driven and individualized — no guesswork.

Step 04

Sustain

You leave with the tools, knowledge, and systems to stay strong and optimized — not dependent on care indefinitely.

The Model

Why Cash-Based
Is The Upgrade.

Insurance-based care is designed around what’s reimbursable — not what’s optimal. At PPW, your care is designed around you.

We accept HSA/FSA and can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find their out-of-pocket cost comparable to — or less than — what they’d spend under insurance with co-pays, deductibles, and wasted sessions.

01

No Visit Limits

Insurance decides when you’re “done.” We decide when you’re actually ready. Your progress, not your plan year, drives the timeline.

02

One Clinician. Always.

No rotating staff. No passing you off. The person who assessed you is the one who gets you better — every single session.

03

Optimization, Not Just Recovery

Insurance covers recovery to baseline. We build you past it. The standard is “better than before,” not “symptom resolved.”

04

Integrated Services, One Bill

When PT, performance, and medical care are coordinated under one roof, you’re not paying for three separate systems to talk to each other — they already are.
