Athletic Lab is proud to announce the addition of performance physical therapy services. Services will begin November 17, 2025 by our new Performance Physical Therapist Brandon Guastafeste, DPT, CSCS. This expansion represents a strategic alignment of elite rehabilitation expertise with Athletic Lab’s commitment to evidence-based, performance-driven training.

A Perfect Partnership

Brandon brings a credential set and clinical philosophy that mirrors Athletic Lab’s foundation of scientific rigor and athletic excellence. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA, Functional Range Conditioning practitioner, and dry needling specialist, his qualifications bridge the critical gap between rehabilitation and performance training. Since 2016, Brandon has specialized in working with athletes across all competitive levels, with particular expertise in lower-extremity injury management and on-field return-to-play protocols.

Brandon’s clinical focus centers on ACL rehabilitation and return-to-sport therapy, addressing one of the most challenging aspects of athletic recovery. His experience includes extensive work with athletes in multiple sports, ensuring comprehensive understanding of sport-specific movement demands and performance requirements. Brandon is the founder of All Around Athlete, a physical therapy practice dedicated to bridging rehabilitation and sport. Brandon has built his career on the same principles that drive Athletic Lab’s approach to training.

Cash-Based Care Model

Athletic Lab’s performance physical therapy services will operate on a cash-based model, offering distinct advantages for athletes and active individuals. This approach enables extended one-on-one session times, fully individualized treatment plans without insurance restrictions, and complete transparency in pricing and care delivery. Athletes benefit from immediate access to care without referral delays, customized protocols that address root causes rather than symptoms, and accelerated recovery timelines through focused attention.

Integrated Performance Solution

Performance physical therapy completes Athletic Lab’s comprehensive service offering. It creates a seamless continuum from injury rehabilitation through return-to-sport and peak performance training. Athletes can now access physical therapy, strength and conditioning, and sports performance training under one roof. All services follow a unified, evidence-based approach. This integration eliminates the common disconnect between clinical rehabilitation and performance training. Athletes receive consistent messaging and progressive programming throughout their entire recovery journey.

Brandon’s expertise in ACL rehabilitation and return-to-sport protocols aligns perfectly with Athletic Lab’s focus on injury prevention, movement quality, and athletic development. His background as both a physical therapist and certified strength coach enables sophisticated understanding of the biomechanical and neuromuscular demands athletes face during training and competition.
