Hear what others are saying:
Adam created my off-season program with a player first mentality. He built it around what I loved to do and who I was as a person. It was the first time in my career I was treated as a person first then an athlete. Adam went above and beyond to get to know his athletes as people and ultimately learn how to bring out the best in them.

Adam is model example of what defines a high performance practitioner. His unique ability to operate along the rehab-performance continuum is one of the best I have come across. More impressive is his ability to genuinely connect with people while providing world class services in a detailed yet practical way.

Working with Adam was some of the most fun I’ve had in my life. During rehab I trusted him and I knew that he was not going to do things that were going to set me back. He always kept me moving in the right direction. He is a great person, great physical therapist, and great at rehab. I just loved working with Adam.

You’re the best physical therapist I know. Not just because your professionalism, but because you truly care. Not only in our time in New England, but no matter where I was in the world, I could always call on you. You were there to help me, to guide me, and to make me better.

Adam has drive, passion, and compassion for the profession and his athletes. His leadership qualities make his return to play and rehabilitation process successful. He commands respect while also creating a very engaging environment. Adam is well respected from his peers and has been regarded as a great teammate and colleague. I would recommend all athletes to work with Adam.

It was a real pleasure working with Adam for a couple of years back in Atlanta. His consistency, his passion for his job, and his friendliness – getting to know him on a personal level too. He always brings good energy throughout the course of an NBA season. I highly recommend Adam.

Adam attacked each day with a smile on his face, always has positive energy, and constantly putting others before himself. Whether it was staying late with athletes to get them extra treatment or coming in early to get staff members like me in shape, he always did it with a smile on his face and a great amount of gratitude.

Adam has the unique ability to act on his curiosity within the health and performance space. He yearns for answers, and won’t stop until he has the answers that will help his athletes thrive. By blending this curiosity, diverse skill set, and deep care for his athlete, Adam has solidified himself as a top notch practitioner in the health and performance industry.
