Embody Your Philosophy:

The Core of Rapid Recovery

Living the Philosophy

Dr. Taylor Foster believes in the power of living one's philosophy. It's about creating trust through genuine understanding and experience, not just theoretical knowledge. "You naturally don’t trust the overweight nutritionist or the broke financial advisor," Taylor states. It's about embodying the principles you advocate. This belief forms the cornerstone of Rapid Recovery: Sports Therapy & Performance, a practice founded with the active individual in mind—inspired by Taylor's own journey as an athlete facing injuries and seeking effective treatments.

A Personal Journey of Resilience

Taylor's path was paved with challenges, from aches and pains to navigating the healthcare system as an athlete desperate for solutions that align with an active lifestyle. His experiences highlighted the gap in care available to athletes and those dedicated to their physical fitness. "I founded Rapid Recovery...for the active individual, and more honestly, for myself," Taylor reveals. He aspired to be the healthcare provider he needed, emphasizing hands-on, manual therapy paired with specific care and targeted exercise prescription.

More About Taylor Foster

Athlete, Bodybuilder, Physical Therapist

Dr. Taylor Foster isn't just a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS); he's also an athlete and bodybuilder at heart. His passion for weightlifting began at the tender age of 12, under the tutelage of a world record powerlifter. This early start fueled a lifelong fascination with the human body and its capabilities, guiding Taylor through a rigorous academic journey in Kinesiology at The Pennsylvania State University, culminating in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Alvernia University.

A Rich Tapestry of Experience

Taylor's educational path was marked by a pivotal stint at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, where he honed his manual therapy skills and developed his unique model of treatment focused on performance, mobility, and recovery. This experience, combined with years of helping athletes from diverse disciplines, has equipped Taylor with unparalleled expertise in enhancing athletic performance and recovery.

Modern Recovery Methods

Specialized Services for Peak Performance

Taylor offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the needs of athletes and active individuals, including:

Advanced techniques like Cupping, IASTM, Deep Tissue Massage, ART, Dry Needling, mobility and corrective exercises designed to target specific impairments, customized strength and conditioning, sports-specific training, and return-to-sport protocols

A Different Kind of Physical Therapist

What sets Taylor apart? His approach is uniquely hands-on, focusing significantly more on manual therapy and strategically prescribed mobility exercises rather than general strengthening. "Athletes need specific, targeted interventions that directly improve their performance and mobility," Taylor asserts. This philosophy ensures that each client receives care that is as unique as their path to recovery and performance enhancement.

I have an extended list of medical injuries from my time in the Marines and wrestling. Taylor was able to build me a custom 1:1 plan that not only helped with recovery, but also put me in the best shape of my life. Truly grateful that I started working with him.

The level of knowledge and experience that Taylor has is unlike anything I've seen in the fitness space. He has the expertise from school as well as the personal experience in the bodybuilding space. There's no one else I'd go to.
