Meet the Doc
Dr. Ned Bixby is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in helping active adults stay strong, pain-free, and confident in the sports they love. He works regularly with pickleball and tennis players who want to reduce injuries, improve movement, and continue playing long-term, not just rehab when something goes wrong.
His approach focuses on identifying movement limitations early and using hands-on techniques and targeted strength and performance strategies to support longevity on the court.
