He is a practicing licensed physical therapist assistant with over 22 years’ experience in orthopedics, sports injury and rehab, acute care, and geriatric rehab. Albert’s core philosophy can be summarized by a simple quote from legendary coach Bill Bowerman – “If you have a body, you’re an athlete.” Albert considers everyone an athlete, at least an athlete at heart, and has trained and rehabilitated athletes as young as 5 years old, including many high school, college, semi-pro, and professional athletes from a variety of sports. He was a Certified Combine Performance Trainer (C360III/i360III) through Under Armour/Ignite (IMG) and a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) from 2000 to 2007. His experiences as an athlete, physical therapist assistant, and performance trainer have shaped his career with practical and applied knowledge.
Whether you are a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, a busy executive, had surgery, injured, or simply an active person who wants to challenge yourself to get better; Albert is committed to helping people of all walks of life, both young and old, enhance their quality of life, achieve a greater level of success, and truly find their own personal excellence.
