Meet Dr. Alex Geissbuhler.

What influenced you to become a physical therapist?

As a NASM certified personal trainer and certified strength and conditioning specialist for 10+ years I truly enjoyed helping my clientele achieve their personal goals and discover their utmost physical potential. However, when it came to injury and rehabilitation, my answer was always the same, “ Go see a physical therapist.” Now as a doctor of physical therapy, I can say “ You have come to the right place.”

Why do you feel physical therapy is so important?

Ever since I was six I have always been interested and participated in athletics. From martial arts, to tennis, gymnastics, rugby, bouldering, crossfit, and OCR racing, I have loved every moment. That being said, I have also paid for it with my fair share of injuries and rehab. Not only is proper healing necessary, but the proper strengthening, mobility, and body mechanics can not only prevent future injury but can give you the freedom to pursue what’s most important to you for the rest of your life.

How do you incorporate physical therapy into your own life?

I like to see what I am capable of and push myself to find my limit. That being said, occasionally I find it. To keep doing the things that I enjoy, it’s an absolute necessity to continue my conditioning and include the very same practices I recommend for my patients in my own regimen.

How do you like to stay active?

I’m up for anything really. I enjoy a wide variety of athletics and sports. My goal is to move everyday, and I believe the more variety, the better. However, my favorite activities are usually outside in nature.

If there was one stretch/exercise we should be doing every day, which one would it be?
