Brian Schwabe PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS:
Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialist in Physical Therapy
Strength & Conditioning Coach
Fitness & Medical Writer
Sports Physical Therapist at MOTI PhysioTherapy in Los Angeles, CA
Brief Bio:
I am a USC sports residency trained physio and graduate of Saint Louis University. I have completed FMS, ART, and EMR certifications and am currently completing a year-long COMT (Certified Orthopaedic Manual Therapy) program. Currently, I treat in Los Angeles, CA and serve as a fitness/medical writer and consultant for various health & fitness publications. My patient population consists of the youth, high school, collegiate and professional athlete with experience treating NBA, MLB, NFL, MMA, and WNBA players each offseason. My experience outside the clinic ranges from covering AVP beach volleyball championships, NFLPA games, WNBA games, NBA pre-draft workouts, ESPN sports science show, and working on-set for TV shows at studios.
My approach is very eclectic in nature and ever evolving. I am a proponent of mobility but recognize that some mobility restrictions can disguise themselves as motor control problems. I have a strong passion for basketball and the NBA. My interests include wearable technology (ex: Catapult), SFMA, and PRI. Future goals include working for an NBA team and teaching.
