Feel better.
Move better.
Perform better.

Getting into running later in life, I knew I needed help with form, staying injury-free, and keeping things sustainable. Working with Bobby at FTP has honestly been a game changer—he’s super knowledgeable and has helped me stay healthy while still pushing toward my goals. FTP as a whole is amazing, and Bobby is so personable and genuinely cares, which makes the whole experience even better.

I went to see Dr. Bobby Hines at Fine Tuned Performance for some neck pain I got from working out. He was able to figure out what was going on and helped me get back to almost full range of motion in just one session!!

He’s super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and really good at what he does! I always appreciate that he explains what’s going on instead of just treating the symptoms.

If you’re dealing with pain, an injury, or just feeling beat up from training, I’d definitely recommend checking him out. I’ll definitely be back!!

Bobby and his team are truly exceptional at what they do! They go beyond just helping you during physical therapy appointments. They want to ensure you have the knowledge and tools to get better, stronger and happy from recovery or any ailment you are struggling with. I would recommend them time and time again!

I'm certain all the Physical Therapists are great. However if you should find yourself under the care of Dr Trey, consider yourself lucky. Trey treated me after I underwent a total knee replacement. The program he put me through allowed me to exceed my goals in a very short time. It wasn't easy or comfortable, but definitely effective. Thanks Trey.

I cannot recommend FTP Rehab in Watkinsville highly enough. I came to them recovering from Achilles surgery, and when I first walked through their doors, I was still having a hard time just walking—running, hopping, or jumping were completely out of the question.

In just two months and only 9 sessions, the transformation was incredible. I was able to pass the state PT test for a law enforcement job, which required sprinting, jumping over hurdles, running up and down stairs, completing a 6-foot broad jump, and scaling two 4-foot fences. Best of all, I completed the entire test with absolutely zero pain in my Achilles.

A massive special thanks to Bobby Hines and Trey Hill. Their hard work, tailored guidance, and expertise were instrumental in getting me back in shape and ready for duty. If you need physical therapy that delivers real, functional results, this is the team you want in your corner.

The staff at FTP was outstanding in helping me get back to 100%. As a NCAA official, my legs get a tremendous amount of work during the season and, sometimes, ailments occur during important in-season schedules. Bobby was able to access my problem and put a plan together to get me back on the court quickly and gave me in-season stretches and workouts that helped in the healing. Thanks FTP ( Bobby Hines ) you guys are the best ! Chad Tucker

I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for Bobby and the entire team at Fine Tuned Performance.

In April 2025, I suffered a catastrophic health event that I truly believed would permanently limit—if not end—my athletic pursuits. Through Bobby’s expertise, guidance, and thoughtful approach to physical training and rehabilitation, I was able not only to recover, but to return to a level of fitness that surpasses where I was before.

Bobby and his team are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the long-term health and success of the people they work with. Their care goes far beyond workouts—it’s about restoring confidence, function, and quality of life.

As a small business, Fine-Tune Performance makes a meaningful contribution to the overall health and well-being of our community. I recommend Bobby and his team without hesitation and will absolutely continue working with them moving forward.

Bobby is wonderful! So kind and knowledgeable. He has helped me so much already and I’m so excited to see my long term results.

Bobby has helped me recover from several injuries and taught me a lot about how to prevent new ones, while also improving my overall athletic performance. He is super knowledgeable, positive, and creative with exercises. While I originally came in due to an injury, I've continued to regularly work with Bobby on overall conditioning and performance goals and have found it so valuable. FTP's approach to physical therapy is innovative and exceptional. Highly recommend!

I have had a great experience with Fine Tuned Performance! They are responsive and kind. Bobby has been awesome to work with and is very knowledgeable. He did a full evaluation and assessed my lower back pain before making any diagnosis. He was very thorough in explaining what was going on and started developing a specific plan to help me become pain free quickly. I have stayed pain free and am now working on the individualized plan he has developed in order to strengthen my weakness and get me back to performing before my injury!

I have been seeing Bobby consistently since last fall when I had some hip pain while training for a marathon. Bobby has a whole body approach and did a full analysis to narrow down the cause (IT band) and I was back to running relatively quickly.

I’ve been seeing him regularly since then for run analysis, injury prevention, and recovery sessions. I’ve been to many practitioners over the years and Bobby’s care and approach is the best I’ve ever experienced.

Bobby Hines has been such a blessing! He is so smart and knowledgeable and professional. My son trusts him and finds him to be very effective and relatable, all so important in rehabbing a young athlete. Bobby is great about keeping me informed as to my son's progress and challenges, as well as communicating with coaches and trainers as appropriate. Our experience has been awesome, and we highly recommend him!

Coach Dr Bobby is amazing! Before working with him I couldn’t run 6 miles without significant knee pain. With his help, I just completed a half Ironman with minimal pain. Highly recommend FTP!

Bobby has been working with my 8 year old son for around 6 months (pre & post-op). He is dedicated to seeing his clients succeed, and that is evident in every aspect of his practice.
We followed Bobby from his last position to his private practice, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing physical therapy.
(He has also worked wonders on my back with dry needling.)
Although his profession is physical therapist, he has proven himself to be a fantastic listener, helper and friend.
Thank you, Bobby, for your dedication to the needs of our family. We truly appreciate you.

We are so appreciative to Bobby for the care and insight we received! My 12 year old daughter was healing from a fractured bone in her foot and a recent diagnosis of growth plate issues in her knee. Bobby was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, personable, and all around excellent! The guidance he provided in one session was exceptional. Thanks to his instructions, exercises, and effective game plan to do at home, her pain has diminished and she’s back playing soccer again. We can’t thank Bobby enough! Highly recommend his services!!

Bobby took his time to ask what hurt, where it hurt and how it hurt. He had me move and asked the same questions. It didn’t take long before he identified the problem. He had me do exercises that made me feel much better. The exercises were simple enough to do at home.
In just a few short days the exercises that he gave me have made such a huge difference to my pain level.
I highly recommend Dr Bobby Hines.

I wholeheartedly recommend Bobby for his exceptional care and expertise in treating running injuries. When my daughter suffered an injury before the state XC meet, Bobby's dedication went above and beyond. He addressed our concerns about her participation, providing guidance that ensured her safety. His proactive approach, including a pre-race meeting with my daughter and her coach to demonstrate proper taping techniques, and his readily available support on race day, were invaluable. We are extremely thankful for his commitment to his patients and highly recommend his services.

I’ve been to Bobby twice now, once for sciatic and SI joint pain, and once for a torn meniscus and knee pain. Both times Bobby was able to help me avoid surgery. His methods and techniques are exceptional and very modern for the profession. He challenges you to push yourself and be an active participant in your own recovery, which helped me feel like I had agency in getting better. I now go to Bobby regularly for prehab, to ensure my body stays functional and mobile so I can continue to be athletic as I get older. I am in my late 30’s and plan on staying very active in my 40’s and onward and I feel confident I will be able to with the exercises and movements that Bobby has helped me with. He is simply the best physical therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Highly recommend!

In 6 short weeks, I went from having hip pain simply walking to my classes on campus to running 13.1 miles pain free!! I came to Bobby with some pretty intense pain in my inner hip, but also with my mind SET on running the AthHalf. This was undeniably a challenging task, but one Bobby did not shy away from. Most physical therapists would have told me 6 weeks is not enough time and running that level of intensity would only further worsen my pain. I was even beginning to believe that!! But for Bobby, that was not the case. His passion and commitment to helping each one of his patients surpass their goals is evident from the beginning. He created personalized training plans for me building up to my race, and his intentionality in helping me recover was evident. As an undergraduate student, pursuing a career in physical therapy, Bobby is a role model and a therapist I would highly recommend to anyone. His perspective on rehabilitation is one that will allow you to achieve any goal you have set! Trust the process, and you will see the results!! I would not have crossed that finish line PAIN FREE without the help of FTP. I am forever grateful! Thank you Bobby!!!

I scheduled a consult with Bobby for some heel pain related to running. He did a running analysis & gathered a thorough history before giving me exercises to help improve the pain by strengthening other parts of my leg/foot. We then practiced all of the exercises together. He followed up with a detailed email with instructions for the exercises, and his office followed up to see how I was feeling after my half marathon. Though they do not accept insurance, the price was very reasonable for the services rendered, and I was able to pay the appointment fee using my FSA card. I highly recommend visiting FTP!

Bobby does an incredible job - he makes you feel confident in getting your muscles stronger! It is an approach that actually works!!

I came to Bobby with a hip injury that has been progressively getting worse for a few years now. Within the first few days of working with Bobby and doing the exercises he sent me home with, i have noticed an improvement of a years old injury. Bobby’s intentionality and deep genuine care for the people he works with is incredible. It is evidently clear that Bobby truly cares and desires to see each individual find healing and strength in whatever area they come to him with. When you work with Bobby, you are working with someone who gives individual attention and specific care to you. Thank you, Bobby!

I was thrilled with my treatment at FTP. As a 56 year old woman recently starting CrossFit, I have had my share of problems. Bobby has helped me be able to achieve success in the gym with treatment at FTP. Ive used dry needling and cupping too and loved it! This is a very professional and caring facility and I look forward to continuing to use them in my journey to optimum physical fitness.

Bobby is the best around! He guided me through a hamstring strain during marathon training with a mix of dry needling, PT, and at-home exercises. His knowledge, expertise, and care resulted in me running a pain free marathon that I previously couldn’t have imagined.

You will have to work hard to find a better Physical Therapist in the Athens-Watkinsville metroplex. I found getting set up and into FTP to be a breeze and the staff is fire! In one hour I left with a new outlook on a life time of discomfort in my lower back. I am a big fan of Fine Tuned Performance and Rehabilitation and you will be too!

Bobby is amazing! He's been working with my son for several months now after hip labrum surgery. He pushes him with just the right amount of enthusiasm and definitely knows what he is doing. I highly recommend Bobby.

Bobby and his staff are fantastic! Highly recommend :-)

I was experiencing nerve pain in my neck/shoulder/arm that was hindering my normal life. With some targeted movements/exercises I've been able to manage it and get back to my life & work!

I recently had an incredible experience. My shoulder was bothering me to the point where it was getting in the way of my day to day life, not just exercising. Bobby did a great job of diagnosing the problem and giving me exercises to improve. In just over a month of doing those movements, I am back to normal! Would highly recommend.

Fined Tuned Performance has been everything I could have ever hoped for in terms of rehabilitation. No matter the injury or its severity, Dr. Hines is always thorough, supportive, and most of all successful in terms of recovery. I was sent to Fine Tuned Performance about a year and a half ago by a coach and I couldn’t be more thankful for his recommendation. Besides being very educated and professional, Dr. Hines is also one of the most friendly guys you will ever meet. I strongly recommend Fine Tuned Performance to anyone.

Bobby is the best! I've gone to see him for my shoulder, for my lower back, for TMJ and even for Vestibular Therapy. He really knows his stuff and he makes therapy time fun!

I started doing crossfit after taking a few years off of that style workout. The intensity of the workouts revealed several nagging issues I had with my knees and other weak spots. After working with Bobby, he was able to clearly diagnose my issues, explain the science of the cause, and utilized digital visuals to show me exactly what was going on. He gave me a detailed treatment plan which I followed closely. I’m writing this 4 months after my initial consultation and I am now able to fully squat with load for the first time in 10 years. My only disappointment is that I didn’t seek treatment years ago.

After struggling with nagging muscle pain in my lower back, I went to FTP for dry needling. Bobby explained what he was going to do and how it would help. The results are in and IT HELPED TREMENDOUSLY! Bobby is a wealth of knowledge that cares about his patients and doesn't treat them like just another number like what you see at ordinary PT clinics. I cannot recommend FTP enough. Look no further for your PT needs. You wont regret it.

I can't express how grateful I am for the exceptional care and guidance I received from Bobby during my recovery. After experiencing a back injury from running, I was concerned about being able to recover in time for my race. Bobby made my recovery not only manageable but surprisingly quick. Thanks to Bobby, I am back to running and lifting pain-free.

Bobby is 100% legit. From the start he has given me his full attention and has taught me more than just the exercises needed to make my issue better. He dove deep into the why & how I injured myself & finally how I am going to fix it. He is more than your tradional physical therapist and has checked up on me outside of my scheduled time - highly recommend.

I was stuck in the same rut using a well known Orthopedic Physical Therapy Center in central Georgia. In one hour, Dr. Hines helped me reach new levels with my range of motion, that I thought I’d never see! He took the time to explain my injury & surgery in depth, all the while encouraging me that I have no limitations! He’s so patient, that overall, he left me with a positive outlook on my PT and recovery! I’ll gladly drive the two hours to see Dr. Hines again. I highly recommend him!

I can’t recommend Fine Tuned Performance enough! I went in struggling with severe back spasms, and the care I received was top-notch. The team was not only incredibly professional but also focused on understanding the root of my issue. Their treatment plan was personalized and effective, and I felt real improvement after just a few sessions. It’s clear they genuinely care about their patients’ well-being. If you’re looking for high-quality care this is the place to go!

Bobby provides such good exercises that are individualized to each patient he treats. He approaches each session with great and appropriate intensity that provides not only rehab but overall strengthening. I have truly enjoyed my sessions.

Fine Tuned Performance has been the key to me staying healthy and continuing to compete even through injury. Dr. Hines shows a genuine investment in my health and recovery and is great about providing me with tools to help manage my injury when I am on the road competing. Highly recommend to anyone!!!

We had a tremendous first appointment today at FTP with Dr. Hines. He pinpointed my son’s concerns quickly, observed him through a variety of movements to further assess, and gave us practical next steps for improvement. We left feeling encouraged and empowered to help my son with his back injury. We will visit Dr. Hines with any of our future PT needs!

I went with Bobby today for a running analysis, and had a great experience.
He was very patient with me and very clear with the feedback he gave me.
I can't wait to go back for my recovery session.

Bobby is knowledgeable and friendly and so easy to work with! I feel confident in the plan for rehab he created for me and have already seen some results and progress toward the goals we discussed

Knowledgable, thorough, kind, present, and personal! Now my go-to place for PT.

I came to FTP with a hurniated disc in my back causing severe sciatic pain all the way down my leg as well as numbness in my foot and loss of strength in my leg, a week after my first visit I had regained 99% of the feeling in my foot, significantly increased my mobility and regained my strength. 10/10 recommend. Very easy and quick to set up appointments.

As a physical therapist myself, this is the highest quality physical therapy out there. Bobby is not only an exceptional clinician, but more importantly an exceptional human being.

Bobby is incredibly thorough, communicates to all ages effectively, and cares deeply about helping others. His practice is excellent!

Bobby brings a fresh perspective to an industry that often feels outdated and dull. His skill set and innovative approach to rehabilitation is something the Athens area truly needed. Look no further than FTP.

Dr. Hines is extremely knowledgeable and addressed my personal concerns. He explained exactly what was wrong and how I needed to proceed forward to achieve my physical goals. He was was positive and encouraging.

Bobby really impressed me in every way. Love the energy, love the challenge - excited to continue my journey back to 100% with Bobby's help.

Bobby is a true expert and professional. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Bobby was fantastic! Took time to listen to why I was coming in and explained what he was going to do and how it would help. Super friendly and professional as well. Highly recommend!

FTP knows what they’re doing. They are very attentive and educative about everything. Big shout out to Bobby! He’s the best!

I had a great experience with Bobby. He is very professional, knowledgeable and I left feeling much better than when I went in!

Great experience. Bobby was very professional and knowledgable. Look forward to working with him.

Very professional! Got me back on the field quickly after a tough injury! Would recommend 1000/10

The best of the best!! So thankful for Bobby and FTP!

Fantastic facility and expertise! Highly recommend!!

amazing!!! trainers are so friendly and helpful!!!

Extremely knowledgeable and top notch service!

Fine Tuned Performance is the best PT there is. As a collegiate xc and track runner, good PT has been crucial to my success. Bobby and Trey are very deliberate in everything they do, with rehab being sport specific so that you can get back to competing at a high level as quickly as possible. In addition to helping me recover from injuries, FTP has also kept me healthy after the fact. By going in once a week for regular maintenance work, FTP has kept me healthy by treating the small nagging things that would have otherwise gone untreated and also worked with me to build strength to prevent future injuries. Beyond their professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge, Bobby and Trey are just great dudes. Both are genuine guys that are easy to talk to and make PT fun. I highly recommend FTP to everyone!!!

It’s always great to work with Bobby. VERY knowledgeable and always sends you home with homework to help remedy the problem.
