Our Story
It started with frustration.
Dalton Urrutia was a dedicated grappler dealing with a stubborn injury that just wouldn't heal.
After six months of traditional physical therapy with zero progress, he hit a wall.
He searched everywhere for a healthcare provider who actually understood grappling injuries—someone who spoke the language of armbars, guard pulls, and rolling.
That person didn't exist. So Dalton went to PT school to become that person himself.
What began as a personal mission to solve his own injury became something bigger: a practice dedicated to helping grapplers stay on the mats.
Since 2017, we've grown from a side project to a global virtual practice, helping over 500 athletes avoid surgery and get back to training at full intensity.
About Us
Built by a Grappler, For Grapplers.
We're grapplers who became PTs specifically to fill the gap in grappling healthcare.
The Problem: 6 Months of Going Nowhere
Founder Dalton Urrutia couldn't find a single PT who understood grappling injuries. Traditional physical therapy failed him for 6 months straight.
The Solution: If It Doesn't Exist, Build It
When nobody could help him get back on the mats, Dalton went to PT school to solve it himself—and for every grappler facing the same frustration.
The Result: 15 Years, 500+ Athletes
Today, Grapplers Performance is the specialized virtual clinic Dalton wished existed when he was injured. We're grapplers who became PTs specifically to fill the gap in grappling healthcare.
Dalton Urrutia
Founder, CEO & Performance Physical Therapist
Dalton founded Performx to help athletes better understand their movement, injuries, and body, in order to keep them doing what they love. Dalton has expertise in movement, strength & conditioning and exercise science and believes that education and understanding injury/the body combined with exercise-based rehab is the key to effective rehab.
Having opened a clinic in London and launched a successful virtual physical therapy business, he's excited to be back supporting his local community in the Willamette Valley.
Outside of the clinic Dalton loves rolling on the mats, flying leisure airplanes and exploring the local area with his wife, Sydney, their 2 boys, and dog, Ipa.
Dr. Tom Hanson, DPT
Virtual Performance Physical Therapist
Tom believes that long-term performance and resilience start with understanding how the whole body works together.
Tom started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2012 and earned his black belt in 2024. He continues to train and teach regularly and has a deep passion for working with grapplers and combat athletes.
Tom holds a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and has been practicing since 2018. He’s worked extensively with both everyday athletes and high-level competitors, always with the same goal: helping people move with confidence and purpose.
At home, Tom is a proud dad to three young boys and two rescue dogs. When he’s not in the clinic or on the mats, you’ll find him fixing up guitars, exploring outdoors with his family, or homeschooling alongside his wife.
