Dr. Roy Parsons is a dedicated physical therapist who helps active individuals and those living with chronic pain reclaim their mobility and return to the activities they love. He earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of New England and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from UC Santa Cruz, grounding his clinical approach in both scientific knowledge and compassionate care.
Roy specializes in working with lifters, fitness athletes and adults across the lifespan with chronic pain. His skill set is unique to people who place a high value on performance, longevity, and feeling at home in their bodies. With a deep understanding of movement mechanics, load management, and injury prevention, he bridges the gap between rehab and physical fitness. Whether you’re recovering from injury or looking to optimize your training, Roy helps clients return to—and thrive in—the activities they love.
Roy’s own experience with a high school knee injury—and the fear that came with not knowing if he’d get back to moving confidently—shaped his commitment to guiding others through recovery with confidence and clarity. As a lifelong athlete he understands the physical and emotional toll of injury, and he brings that insight into every patient relationship. He’s especially passionate about helping people build resilience, regain agency over their bodies, and rediscover joy in movement—whether that’s lifting heavy, hiking trails, or simply living pain-free.
Outside the clinic, you’ll find Roy training in CrossFit classes, hiking, or backpacking—staying connected to the lifestyle he encourages in others. He finds deep fulfillment in helping patients surpass their expectations and feels privileged to be part of each person’s unique journey toward healing and strength.
