Sheri & Jerry, Founders & Owners

Sheri Stapleton-Hewitt and Jerry Hewitt are the husband-and-wife founder/owners of Performance Sports Therapy, a woman & veteran-owned local business in Tucson, Arizona. Since 2009, their passionate mission has been to help their ever-growing list of clients experience the life-changing power of natural, non-invasive preventative health care.

Their clients come to them feeling at a loss, not knowing what to do about their physical suffering, fearing that their issue will become permanent or debilitating. They come away educated & empowered, feeling pain-free ease of movement—perhaps for the first time in a long time—enabling them to return to doing what they love most, with greater confidence in their body’s resilience.
