Dr. Justin Vincent
Doctor of Physical Therapy
I first developed an appreciation for Physical Therapy in high school. As a high school athlete, I experienced several injuries, which put PT on my radar pretty early. I’ve always appreciated movement and have gravitated toward high-energy sports in particular. After undergrad, I was working in Washington, DC, when I suffered an ankle dislocation during a rugby tournament. An amazing team helped rehabilitate me and get me back out on the field. The experience inspired and motivated me to leave my cubicle job and become a Physical Therapist. Now, as a Doctor of Physical therapy, I get to help people move optimally so they can continue to do the activities that they love.

BACKGROUND
How did you get into your field?
As a high school athlete, I experienced several injuries, which put PT on my radar pretty early. I’ve always appreciated movement and have gravitated toward high-energy sports in particular. After undergrad, I was working in Washington, DC, when I suffered an ankle dislocation during a rugby tournament. An amazing team helped rehabilitate me and get me back out on the field.

INTERESTS/SPECIALITIES
What is something patients have to deal with that you want to fix?
I love working with people who want to move and learn to be in sync with their bodies. This may be an athlete looking for individual sport style performance or to resolve a recurrent sport injury. Sometimes it is a new parent who now has back pain with a diaper change or lift from ground. For a lot of us we just want our joints to not ache while still doing what we love. Time comes for all of us but we can work together to move optimally at any age or activity.
What do you do for the company and/or what do you specialize in?
I treat many different types of patients. Pelvic health, throwing, running, overall orthopedic. I love that I am able to bring my abilities to all populations.
Are there any conditions you enjoy treating?
I use my diverse experience and skill set to create wellness strategies tailored to each specific person. We do not all have the same body type or even joint shapes so when we move we look very different. I have the variety of skills and knowledge to create an individualized movement and wellness plan.
What do you like about working here?
I am excited to be on such a well diversified team!
HOBBIES
What brings you joy? What do you do with your spare time?
Movement and community bring me joy and I want to help others share that joy. Spending time with my son, being outdoors in the sun, and taking time to appreciate art are also things that fill me with joy! In my free time, I am learning to roller skate with my 5-year-old son. It’s been great and we have a ton of fun dancing on wheels (which biomechanically speaking is the heart of skating). I gravitate toward high-adrenaline sports—I played rugby for many years but have since traded it in for rock climbing. Not only is climbing another good source of adrenaline, but it also feeds my passion for movement and the outdoors.
