Shoulder Pain Shouldn't Keep You Off the Court or Field

Too many Tampa athletes are told there's no path back to the activities they love. That ends here.

Told to Stop Playing Your Sport

Your doctor said to rest, ice it, or just take it easy—but that's not good enough when your sport is your passion and your outlet.

"I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bryant and the care I received after my knee surgery. From day one, he took the time to truly understand my goals—not just recovering, but getting back to competing at a high level.

What Tampa Athletes Say About Their Shoulder Recovery

62 Five-Star Google Reviews

I came to Bryant with patella tendinitis, and thanks to his expertise, my knee is now completely healed. He is knowledgeable, attentive, and takes the time to tailor each session to my needs. Bryant also provides daily exercises to continue strengthening at home, which has been invaluable to my recovery.

Lisa G.

I connected with Dr. Bryant at Crossover PT & Performance a couple of months before a marathon I was training for. He performed a thorough assessment, evaluating internal and external rotation and range of motion in both hips to identify weaknesses and compensations. The results have been excellent—my hip mobility and strength have improved significantly.

I work an office job and I am sitting most of the day, I'm not a professional athlete, but I do lift regularly and noticed issues in my hip forming. First session at Crossover, he was able to diagnose what was going on and give me a strategy on what we could do to fix it. It has been amazing. My warm-ups are better, I feel like I'm moving better, and I love that it's science based.
