Help swimmers and endurance athletes rehab injuries and improve strength, durability, and performance
You are in the right place if:
You’re a swimmer dealing with shoulder pain but still want to train
You’re a triathlete or runner frustrated by recurring injuries.
You’re a parent of a swimmer who wants proactive, sport-specific care
You’re tired of not having a plan, being told to rest, and given generic exercises that don’t match your sport
Most physical therapy isn’t built for athletes who want to keep training. My approach bridges the gap between rehab and performance—so you don’t have to choose between getting healthy and chasing your goals.
1-on-1 sessions with the same clinician every visit
Sport-specific strength and movement analysis
Built for swimmers, runners, triathletes, and active adults

What Past Patients and Clients Say:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I brought my daughter who is a competitive swimmer in to see Alex after a knee injury and we couldn't have been happier with the results. Alex went above and beyond helping my daughter gain her strength back and making sure she had a safe plan for getting back to swimming. He was very patient and made a plan that was realistic for a pre-teen to complete each week. We were going somewhere else prior and seeing absolutely no results but after a few short weeks with Alex my daughter was better than her pre-injury!
He not only understands how to treat an injury but specialized in the swimming aspect which is exactly what we needed. I cannot recommend Alex enough. He is out go-to PT for our entire family now! 100/10!!
— Jessica Full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Alex has been so easy to work with and responsive for both of my kids. My daughter was dealing with shoulder pain that made her want to quit swimming completely. After just a couple of sessions, the pain was gone and she was back to her competitive self. He checks in with her regularly and gives feedback on form and technique. He was exactly what my kids needed to further their development in and out of the pool!”
— Tiffany Frederes⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“EXCEPTIONAL: I had a spinal cyst that had not only sidelined me from racing for two years, but had be in constant pain and unable to bend or lift. The orthopedist said that surgey was my only option to return to sport. In less than two weeks Alex had me pain free, and off medication. in less than a month I was jogging. I was fully training and race ready in under 6 months. Alex is an absolute legend in PT. I'm shocked he has space on his calendar.”
