Back to Barbell Sports Rehabilitation & Performance

You're frustrated with lack of progress in your injury recovery.

You're questioning whether you'll need surgery.

You want a physical therapist who has expertise with athletes.

What makes us different?

We're data-driven and process-oriented. We use data to check our work refine our plan and ensure progress.

We create a custom rehab roadmap for each of our clients to explicitly outline the recovery process.

We believe in rehabilitating the person, not the injury. This means we consider factors such as sleep, fueling habits, stress management, mental health in our planning and decision-making.

We have an extensive network of trusted healthcare professionals that we'll draw upon and refer you to if more support is needed. If we don’t think working with us is a good fit we point you in the right direction. We really don’t just enroll everyone who is interested, because it isn't in your best interest or ours.

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you’ve done for me over the past few months. When we first started working together, way back when, to address the hip issues affecting my squats, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. But after the 12-week program, not only was my hip pain completely gone, but I also felt stronger and more balanced overall. Then, when the shoulder pain hit, I thought, 'Here we go again.' The pain was intense, and I couldn’t do any pushing movements, but your assessment and focused approach made all the difference. Six or so weeks later, I’m pain-free, and we’re starting to build strength in the shoulder again. There were definitely times when I felt discouraged, and some of the movements were tedious and monotonous, but you kept reminding me to trust the process, and I’m so glad I did. Now, I’m back to competing in Hybrid competitions at a high level, and I couldn’t have done it without your support, expertise, and annoyance. Thank you for everything."

"In early 2023 I tore my labrum and biceps anchor. I was misdiagnosed and developed frozen shoulder. I met with a surgeon and he decided that it was necessary to repair the tears and the scar tissue. I started physical therapy the day after the surgery. I saw 3 or 4 different physical therapists at that location and although they were supportive, it never seemed like I had a clear plan. It just seemed like I was spinning my wheels. I wanted to get back to my life, to doing all the things I enjoyed like yoga and weightlifting, and, quite frankly, just washing my hair. I had a lot of pain associated with this injury, was having a tough time, and I was starting to doubt that my shoulder would ever recover. Then I met Devin and I realized that what was missing was a very clear plan. He provided a very clear plan. I decided to leaving the clinic I had been at and began working with him full-time. I was recovered in 3 months and with his guidance I'm back to all the things I love. If someone is lucky enough to work with Devin post-injury or post-surgery I would highly recommend him."

"The most valuable aspect of us working together was how much you were willing to listen."

Inaki - Olympic Weightlifter

"When we started, everything hurt. Now, the pain in my shoulder is gone, I'm hitting bench PRs and I'm squatting more than 465lbs again."

JP - Strongman

"I've suffered from long time shoulder discomfort for many years. I decided to see Devin at Back to Barbell and in 3 weeks time with his program I have just had miraculous changes. I have no more pain and I'm feeling stronger. I highly recommend Devin and Back to Barbell."

Chris - Cyclist/Skier

"I can tell it's working. I noticed the pain is slowly fading away. It used to bother me all day long. Now it's so minor and practically gone."

Ron - Active Adult

"When we started it was a constant ache every single day and driving was intolerable. Now I'm aware of symptoms twice per week, at most and I only notice it during training when I do too much volume for the upper back and shoulder together. And I'm still improving."

Kaela - Bodybuilder

"I had an irreparable complete thickness rotator cuff tear and I wanted to get back to bench pressing. When we started working together I had so much pain. Now I'm back to push ups, bench pressing and more. I didn't think it was possible but we did it."
