Performance-based physical therapy for active adults, runners, lifters, and endurance athletes. Get one-on-one care with a personalized plan designed to help you recover from injury, train without pain, and reach your performance goals.

You've tried rest, ice, and hoping it will heal on its own—but the pain keeps coming back every time you train.

Traditional PT clinics hand you off to assistants or techs, leaving you without the focused attention you need to actually get better.

Cookie-cutter exercises that don't address your specific sport, goals, or the root cause of your injury.

At Tropic Athlete, we believe in doing things differently. We don't rush through appointments or treat you like another name on a chart. Every session is one-on-one with your physical therapist, giving you the undivided attention and expert guidance you deserve. We identify the root cause of your pain, optimize your movement patterns, and build a personalized plan that gets you back to training—and performing better than before.
✓ One-on-one treatment for the full session—never handed off to an assistant or technician
✓ Custom mobile app with personalized exercise programming, video demos, and progress tracking
✓ Fewer visits per week than traditional PT through our efficient hybrid approach
