Dr. Blake

Dr. Blake is the owner of OPTIMUS Athlete's Performance & Physical Therapy. Originally, his passion for movement optimization and sports performance came from multiple injuries he had while playing baseball as a teenager. Following two elbow surgeries and recurrent back pain; he received multiple rounds of physical therapy where his therapists were eventually able to help him get out of pain, although their treatment was not functional or specific enough to prepare him properly to return to play. This lead to Dr. Blake spending months and months of time trying to rehab on his own.

 

So after finishing his undergraduate degree at Clemson University and Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Dr. Blake is passionate about making a difference in his client's recovery journey and performance. Whether he is working with clients to get them back on the field or to continue performing in their recreational activities he stands with his clients step by step through the process.
