Physical Therapist
Justin Feldman, PT, DPT
As a kid, I spent a lot of time at my mom’s physical therapy sessions. Mostly because leaving an eight-year-old home alone wasn’t an option, but also because I loved watching someone else boss my mom around for a change. I watched her go from struggling with stairs to powering through her days, and I was hooked.
When middle school rolled around and it was time for a career aptitude test, I didn’t leave it to chance. I found “Physical Therapy” in the scoring key and made sure my answers added up to that exact number. Interestingly, that same score also suggested I’d be a great trash collector or air traffic controller. I chose the one that let me work with athletes and wear comfortable shoes.
My early career was spent working with pro athletes, including the Hershey Bears (the Washington Capitals’ AHL affiliate). I noticed a frustrating gap: the pros got undivided, one-on-one attention, while the “average” person was often shuffled through a system where therapists were forced to juggle four patients at once.
After listening to me complain about this for the thousandth time, my wife, Stacey, finally gave me the best advice of my career: “Stop complaining and go create the environment you want to work in.” And so, Feldman Physical Therapy & Performance was born. I convinced John Nunez to join me during a meeting at a Dunkin’ Donuts (surrounded by vaping teenagers and loud Honda Civics), and we haven’t looked back since.
You Are the Solution
Our office culture is a bit different. If you walk in and aren’t immediately greeted by my dog, Toby, you’re probably in the wrong place. We’ve traded the “stuffy doctor’s office” vibe for a relaxed, high-performance environment where we actually have fun.
But beyond the fun, we have a serious mission. In a healthcare world that’s increasingly hard to navigate, we pride ourselves on being accessible. You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to talk to your provider. More importantly, our goal is to empower you. We don’t want you to be dependent on us; we want to give you the tools, the understanding, and the confidence to be the solution to your own situation.
Life Outside the Clinic
When I’m not in the office or working on the Ski Patrol at Mount Snow, I’m usually trying to keep up with my kids. Hayden (12) and Madison (8) have officially surpassed my “athletic prowess” and turned into amazing skiers and rock climbers. Most of my weekend is spent on a mountain or a climbing wall with them.
I’m still competing in triathlons and marathons, though I’ve stepped back from my various board president roles to focus on being a full-time “sports dad.” It’s a busy life, but as long as there’s coffee and ice cream, I’m doing just fine.
