About Me:
Robbie graduated from Saint Louis University in Missouri in 2013 and has since worked in a variety of outpatient settings. He has a broad background in orthopedic and sports physical therapy with special interests in manual therapy and dry needling in addition to exercise programs and education. He has worked in Arizona for nearly 6 years, most recently at Luke Air Force Base with F16 pilots. He Joined Spooner’s Movement Plus team in September 2022 to help promote the trailblazing program aimed at improving patients’ and athletes’ options when it comes to choosing physical therapy.

Outside the Clinic:
Robbie races bicycles competitively for a team called Seek and Destroy based here in the phoenix area. The cycling community is tight-knit, and he believes a PT clinic or company should be too. He values developing connections toward a common goal both in racing and working in physical therapy. 

In the past, Robbie was a lacrosse goalie in high school and college, ran marathons throughout undergrad and grad school and thereafter and dabbled in triathlon briefly before settling on bike racing as a primary focus.
