Meet the Owner

Dominic is originally from Corpus Christi, TX where he grew up playing a variety of sports, but with one above all the rest, baseball. When he graduated from high school, he pursued his bachelors degree in Kinesiology at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) which is when he ultimately decided he wanted to be a physical therapist. He attended UT Health San Antonio for Physical Therapy school and graduated in 2019 with his Doctorate of Physical Therapy Degree. 

"I believe that every person who moves and participates in activity is considered an athlete and deserves the opportunity to move like one." This is what he lives by and focuses all of his intent on each patient who stands in front of him. 

After working in an outpatient clinic for around 2 years and feeling he was unable to provide the quality care desired due to the large case load and daily duties, Dominic decided it was time to begin working for himself where he could see each patient 1 on 1 and that is when RPT & Performance was created. This is the platform that allows each person to receive the time, focus, and engaged listening which expedites recovery and requires less visits overall. 

While playing sports in high school, I always had nagging shoulder pain that kept me from reaching my peak in the weight room. This had no bearing on my ability to participate in sports. It was not until college that I finally understood how to successfully rehabilitate my shoulder with modifications and progressive overload. This is the way I progress my patients, which can be a different experience than any other physical therapy approach. 

"My ultimate goal is for each person who comes into the door, feels that they were listened to, treated well, and has a clear understanding of what it is going to take for them to reach their goals. I want to help as many lifters as I can, because I want to keep them from having the same experience as myself. Let’s modify and continue to build you up while also getting you out of pain. "
