Peter Podbielski graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree after a career as a Physical Therapist Assistant, soccer coach, and runner/athlete.

His professional accreditations include membership in the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), a professional organization aimed at improving physical therapist practice, education and research.  Peter is also a member of the association’s local Arizona chapter (APTAAZ).

In addition to his comprehensive physical therapy work, he has received advanced training in the John F. Barne’s Myofascial Release approach and treats complex pain issues including postural issues, scoliosis and common musculoskeletal injuries. He is an expert MFR practitioner as well as an instructor. He has completed courses in the Redcord Education Program.

His extensive experience in fitness and corrective exercise brings a unique range to his treatment approach – structuring patient programs according to their individual needs and preferences and encouraging exploration of complementary approaches to healing.
