TACTICAL ATHLETE PERFORMANCE

Imagine a world where service members get treated like the athletes they are.  Where the red tape is removed and our heroes get the care they deserve. Imagine a world where injury prevention, wellness and rehabilitation are delivered on site by a movement expert, improving access to care and decreasing costs. Creating a world where you know every service member is physically ready to help you and your family in your time of need. 

This is the world Tactical Athlete Performance & Physical Therapy Specialists brings to reality. Building off of the experiences gained while serving as an Active Duty Physical Therapist in the US Air Force, TAP Physical Therapy was created to continue “Serving Those Who Serve” by bringing the embedded healthcare model that has been so successful in the military to our local police and fire departments. Through a combination of enhancing recovery rates, reducing injury risk, and maximizing performance, we work together to maximize department readiness and ensure long and healthy careers for our service members.
