SRQ Sports Rehab
SRQ Sports Rehab is the manifestation of Dr. Bastien’s life work, which is to radically change the way society integrates wellness into longevity. Our current healthcare model is dependent and reactive, but I believe people should be independent and proactive. This can only be done by taking control of your health, before any crisis hits. Preventative care and technology can counteract all of life’s stressors, so this clinic is a place where that dream turns into a reality.
SRQ Sports Rehab is the vision of Founder Dr. Regi Bastien, a concierge wellness Doctor of Physical Therapy, specializing in human performance, sports medicine, and the most cutting edge recovery methods available. Dr. Bastien’s principal belief is that integration of a holistic, evidence-based practice is crucial for an individual’s sustained success.
Dr. Bastien has over 7 years working in the fitness industry and over 5 years working as a licensed physical therapist. He honed his clinical skills by treating a wide variety of sports and orthopedic conditions ranging from the acute post-operative stages to elite level performance across all skill levels and age groups. He prides himself as being able to work with patients ranging from celebrities, professional athletes, weekend warriors, stay-at home moms and grandparents just wanting to be able to play with their grandchildren, pain free.
What We Believe and Why We Do What We Do
We start with the belief that everything is connected. We start by looking at the global picture of how your body is aligned and balanced, how your body moves, and how one issue can lead to problems elsewhere. This helps us look strategically and systematically at the root cause of any pain, dysfunction, or areas holding you back from performing at your best. This approach allows us to not just treat pain, but also to help you move better to make sure this pain never comes back. You will spend your entire session one-on-one with your therapist - no techs or assistants.
In the same way you clean you teeth and maintain your car, your body requires regular tune-ups. We add wear and tear to our muscles and joints every day, which can lead to pain or injury. Routine body maintenance ensures you’re alway able to feel your best.
