After getting my first real job out of graduate school at Advanced Physical Therapy/ATI Physical Therapy, I had a great run of 11 years. It was here that I cut my teeth in the healthcare world, grew my manual therapy and clinical skills, and got to work alongside some outstanding people. I was fortunate enough to lead many people, experiencing both personal and professional growth alongside them. But like the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. In November of 2020, I set out on my own to start private practice. For me it the decision was based on multiple factors. First, the quality of care that I was able to provide my patients in a large company outpatient setting was quite frankly unacceptable. The strains of lowered reimbursement and handcuffing by insurance companies is mostly responsible for that. Private practice gave me complete control of my schedule to improve work/family balance. Lastly, I saw the need in the market for an experienced clinician to work with active individuals who typically exceed the standards of a traditional PT patient. Bridging that gap between rehab and return to sport is where most of my patients land. My practice is built on years of experience, personal experience as a multi-sport athlete, and an unmatched ability to marry a successful treatment plan with the specific goals of the patient. My practice is not for everyone, but for those looking for service above and beyond combined with proven outcomes should consider Shupe Rehab and Performance!
