Our Story & Team

Dr. Edwin Porras

Doctor of Physical Therapy
Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist
PRO Athlete PT Founder/Owner
 

Back in 2012, I started my journey as a sports physical therapist after watching some old YouTube videos from a coach named Kelly Starrett. I noticed right away that athletes were only getting back to 80% with traditional PT. Why? Because of insurance rules or because they lost hope.

During the pandemic, I signed up for an extra year of training called a residency. Then I went to work with the Minnesota Twins. For two years, I helped pro athletes recover and get back on the field, while also learning from some of the smartest coaches/athletic trainers/physical therapists in the country.

In 2024, I opened PRO Athlete Physical Therapy bringing everything I learned from an MLB team and we quickly grew to 3 locations. Our goal is simple: get athletes healthy, keep them healthy and help them get to the next level.

The word PRO stands for two things.

1. We literally treat pro athletes, and 

2. We are also figuratively PRO athlete because we support the human who happens to be an athlete, no matter their level. We are pro athlete.

If I'm not helping athletes get back to better than 100%, you'll catch me glamping with my wife, 3 dogs and 2 rabbits. Oh and playing fantasy football.
