“You won't find a more knowledgeable, dedicated, passionate and trustworthy PT than Kyle. I am a professional triathlete who specializes in long course racing. When I injured my hamstring leading into my first race of the season, I was devastated. Kyle is the reason I am now back to racing, pain free, and stronger than ever. He not only saw me for in-person sessions, but also created weekly rehab and strength programs, working closely with my triathlon coach to be sure it was aligned with my swim, bike and run training. I cannot recommend Kyle enough.”

Our tailored programs combine evidence-based exercise regimens, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle modifications to create a comprehensive approach to wellness and performance. We utilize assessments to establish baseline metrics and monitor progress, ensuring each individual receives personalized strategies that promote fat loss while encouraging muscle growth. Our emphasis on sustainable practices fosters long-term results, contributing to enhanced overall health and longevity. Each step is designed to empower individuals in achieving their specific body composition goals.

  • At ONYX Physical Therapy, we focus on enhancing cardiorespiratory endurance through targeted training that optimizes VO2max, the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. VO2max is a critical indicator of aerobic fitness and plays a significant role in overall health. Higher levels of VO2max are associated with increased longevity and a prolonged healthspan, meaning individuals can maintain their vitality and functional capacity for longer periods.

    Research shows that improved VO2max can lower the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndromes, by promoting better cardiovascular health and efficient metabolic functioning. By incorporating tailored exercise programs that challenge and elevate your cardiorespiratory system, we aim to help you achieve higher VO2max levels, ultimately leading to enhanced well-being and a reduced risk of disease.

  • At ONYX Physical Therapy, we recognize that strength is a vital predictor of longevity and overall health. Our specialized programs are designed to enhance your strength based on your personal goals and areas of focus. Whether you're aiming to develop upper body power, core stability, or lower body endurance, our tailored approach ensures that you receive the targeted training necessary for optimal results. By improving your strength, you not only enhance your physical performance but also work towards reducing the risk of age-related decline and mortality. Invest in your health today and build a foundation for a longer, stronger future.

Why choose ONYX for Physical Therapy?

We Teach At Local Universities and Health Science Schools

Choosing a physical therapist who teaches at a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) school ensures you're receiving care from someone at the forefront of the field. These therapists stay current with the latest research, treatment techniques, and clinical advancements. Their role in educating future clinicians reflects a deep understanding of best practices and a commitment to high standards of care. This expertise can lead to more precise assessments, innovative treatment strategies, and better long-term outcomes for patients.

We Have Advanced Training in Sports and Orthopedic Medicine

Selecting a physical therapist who has completed a sports residency ensures specialized expertise in treating athletic injuries and optimizing performance. Residency-trained therapists undergo advanced, focused training in sports rehabilitation, gaining hands-on experience with athletes across various levels. They develop a deep understanding of biomechanics, injury prevention, and return-to-sport strategies, allowing for more precise and effective treatment. This level of specialization can lead to faster recovery, reduced risk of re-injury, and improved athletic performance, making them an excellent choice for active individuals and athletes.

We are Dual-Credentialed as Strength and Conditioning Coaches

Choosing a physical therapist who is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) ensures a unique blend of rehabilitation and performance expertise. This dual qualification allows the therapist to not only address injuries but also design strength and conditioning programs that enhance overall physical performance and prevent future issues. They understand how to safely progress clients from rehabilitation to peak athletic function, bridging the gap between recovery and high-level activity. This approach is especially valuable for athletes and active individuals seeking to return to sport stronger and more resilient.

We teach others how to effectively rehabilitate and performance train.

What our athletes say…

“Kyle is an incredibly talented and empathetic PT. I’ve worked with many over the years as a competitive weight lifter and D1 rower and he takes the cake. I was having knee pain for 5 years after a sports incident and couldn’t find a solution until I started working with Kyle. He listened to everything I told him and created rehab/strength plans that fit into my routine that really worked! He celebrates your wins and supports you through setbacks to get you back on track. I am able to run, squat, ski, and row again! He is a great person and a great PT to trust with your recovery. I highly recommend him! 10/10.” - Laura Anhalt

“I tore my hip labrum before last lacrosse season. Kyle gave me a great training plan that helped me build hip and core strength so I was able to play. After the season, I had surgery to repair my hip labrum. Kyle put me through detailed testing and built a specific rehab plan to get me back into lacrosse shape. With Kyle’s help, I was able to recover fast than any doctor expected, and am back to 100% heading in to my last season” - Jack McCordic

“I tore the labrum in my right shoulder and was very concerned about my return to baseball. It was challenging to find a physical therapist experienced in helping athletes return to play, but I’m so grateful that a friend recommended Kyle! He did a fantastic job, getting me stronger than I was before the injury by the start of the season. Kyle was also great to talk to and genuinely cared about my health and well-being, which made the difficult process of physical therapy much more enjoyable. I was especially impressed by how intentional every exercise and movement Kyle prescribed was. He frequently explained how certain movements were designed to prepare me for baseball-specific activities, which kept me motivated and focused. Kyle did a great job of integrating my shoulder rehabilitation with my overall plan to return to baseball. I was incredibly pleased with the results and would highly recommend Kyle!” - Malachi Soqui
