WHO WE HELP

At Obsidian Physical Therapy, we help CrossFit athletes, runners, and active adults in the North Dayton area return to full training—without pain or fear holding them back.
Whether you’re coming back from an injury, dealing with recurring flare-ups, or stuck in a cycle of scaling and setbacks, we focus on the root cause—not just temporary relief.
You might benefit from working together if you’re experiencing:
-
Recurring knee, hip, shoulder, or low back pain
-
Pain that flares up when you increase intensity, volume, or load
-
Stiffness or limitations that affect lifting, running, or workouts
-
Fear of re-injury every time you try to push again
-
Frustration from “resting” without making real progress
-
Uncertainty about how to safely return to training
If you’re motivated to get back to training—but unsure what your body can handle—you’re in the right place.
At Obsidian Physical Therapy, Dr. Nina provides one-on-one care that blends hands-on treatment, detailed movement assessment, and progressive strength programming so you can rebuild confidence, increase capacity, and train fully again.
OUR APPROACH TO STRENGTH-BASED PHYSICAL THERAPY
At Obsidian Physical Therapy, we help CrossFit athletes, runners, and active adults rebuild strength, improve movement efficiency, and return to full training—without fear of re-injury.
Whether you’re dealing with recurring knee, hip, shoulder, or back pain—or you’re unsure how to safely push intensity again—our goal is to help you understand how your body handles load and build real, long-term resilience.
You might be looking for support if you’re:
-
Experiencing recurring pain when you increase intensity, volume, or load
-
Feeling weaker or inconsistent after time away from training
-
Afraid of “overdoing it” every time you try to push again
-
Frustrated by short-term fixes that don’t actually last
-
Wanting a clear, structured plan instead of guessing
During Your One-on-One Sessions, We Focus On:
Finding the Root Cause
Looking beyond where it hurts to identify movement patterns, limitations, and load management issues driving your pain.
Restoring Strength & Capacity
Building stability, coordination, and progressive strength so your body can handle lifting, running, and training again.

Improving Movement Efficiency
Using detailed assessment to help you move more efficiently and reduce unnecessary stress on your joints.
Building Long-Term Confidence
Creating a clear, step-by-step plan so you can train consistently—without constantly worrying about flare-ups.
Every session is one-on-one and fully personalized. You’ll leave with a clear plan, practical strength work, and confidence in how to move forward.
All sessions take place in a gym-based setting in Vandalia, so your rehab directly translates to how you lift, run, and train.
