Dr. Patrick Rich is a doctor of physical therapy (DPT) and certified Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) specialist. Originally from Strongville, Ohio, Dr. Patrick relocated to St. Louis in 2012 to complete clinical internships for his DPT degree from Bradley University. While at Bradley, Dr. Patrick received a Minor in Business Management and was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. His post-graduate training includes RockTape kinesiology taping, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) with Graston M1, Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) studies, Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT), and Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training.
Dr. Patrick has experience with all orthopedic and neurologic conditions. His areas of focus include the treatment of post-operative knee, hip, and shoulder conditions; sports-related injuries of high school and collegiate athletes; and the improvement of the functional capacity and performance of all people. He has a special interest in strength and conditioning with an affinity for improving the sports performance of the high school and CrossFit/weightlifting athlete, as well as the 5k race time for the weekend road warrior.
Dr. Patrick's hobbies mirror what he teaches his patients every day... "Movement is medicine." When not in the clinic, he enjoys weightlifting, hiking, camping with his wife and two dogs, backpacking, hunting, watching the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team, barbecuing, and hitting the links for a round of golf.
