JP Gloria, PT, DPT
Hi! My name is JP! I am a physical therapist and performance coach for runners. My professional career has revolved around helping endurance athletes, especially with running. Though at the heart of it, I am extremely passionate about serving people in a meaningful way.
My understanding of movement actually started with character animation for a game at 15 years old. This involved making human-like characters move. However, in order to make characters do things, like walk, you need an in-depth understanding of anatomy, the parts, and the proper timing of how those parts move in relation to each other.
While I found movement fascinating, I still did not understand how meaningful it was until the moment my grandma fell and was unable to walk. I remember how frustrated she was. However, I also remember the moment she was able to walk again for the first time. She had such a huge smile on her face. I ended up smiling too. I never knew how much of an impact physical therapy can have until that moment.
My desire to see more of those special moments eventually led me to getting my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2017. And since then, I developed a special interest in working with endurance athletes, like runners and triathletes. With my expertise, I have been able to take people from being unable to walk to completing marathons and Ironman’s... even those who are 60+ years old! I truly feel blessed to be able to experience these moments with my clients.
