I graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, then received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Regis University. I’ve had the opportunity to work with everyone from pro bodybuilders and combat athletes to weekend warriors and first-time gym athletes. 

If you’re injured, I get it β€” I’ve had my fair share of injuries and pain that have prevented me from lifting, so I’ve felt the frustration and loss of identity that can accompany being in pain.

I’ve also felt the euphoria of getting back to lifting in the gym without being held back by pain, and that’s a feeling that I want to give EVERYONE who has felt stuck in their pain.

My own lifting experience and interests include everything from running to hiking to weight training, and in the past year I’ve competed in a bodybuilding show, run a half marathon and taken a deep dive into powerlifting. However, my real passion lies in giving people the tools to do what they want, for as long as they want, through exercise.

Helping people get back to the things they love, feel strong in their bodies AND hit PRs along the way is the most rewarding experience in the world, and it’s what makes me love being a PT.

If you’re passionate about it, I’m passionate about getting you back to doing it, and together we’ll overcome the pain or other barriers keeping you from living life on your own terms!

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy & Fitness Coach, and a major meathead to boot. I firmly believe that exercise is the key to living the life you want for decades to come, and my mission is to get people back in the gym, unhindered by pain, and get strong along the way!

HI FRIEND, I’M DR. PAT.
