Keith Geissler, MPT
Keith Geissler originally graduated from the University of Massachusetts
at Amherst with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Sport Management.
Having worked for several years in Health Club and Resort Management he
decided return to school to pursue a more challenging career in physical
therapy, receiving his Masters in Physical Therapy degree from Ithaca
College in 1996, and has been specializing in orthopedics since that time.
Having worked in various clinical settings ranging from home health to
hospital inpatient care he always felt like he could do more for his patients
if he had more time to allocate to them during each visit. This desire
to provide a higher level of quality care prompted him to start Personalized
PT, PC in the fall of 2000.
Keith continues to expand his knowledge of treating orthopaedic injuries
by studying osteopathic techniques including Muscle Energy, Myofascial
Release, and Positional Release Therapy. He has a special interest in
treating musculoskeletal disorders of the spine.
Building on his degree in Sport Management, Keith launched Body
Links in 2005, a program designed to bring sport specific performance
enhancement and injury prevention to recreational golfers, runners, and
bikers.
"Body Links allows us to go from simply helping
a patient get well to helping them get better. We have developed
very specialized programs for performance enhancement and injury prevention
for golfers all the way to programs to enhance your computing skills through
proper ergonomics. It is immensely satisfying to see someone get back
to doing what they love, and to see them doing it better than they were
able to before an injury." --KG, MPT
