AN ALL STAR FOR THE ALL STARS
Professional Sports Career
Kimberly Caspare’s career catapulted from managing injuries as an athletic trainer for Division 1 NCAA athletes at the University of Florida to then founding a business as a Performance Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist that spearheaded preventative and rehabilitative programs for athletic sports teams.
Over the past decade, Kim has been the lead therapist for all-star players like Joel Embiid and spent 5 seasons as a Performance Physical Therapist for the Philadelphia 76ers. Dr. Caspare also joined the USA Men’s Basketball Team as a member of the Performance Staff for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris and brought home the gold!
Kim’s work with NBA, NHL, and NFL players involves day-to-day evaluation, guidance with corrective exercise and treatment as well as ongoing performance enhancement tactics. Dr. Caspare is known for using her ‘magic recipe’ for return to play in order to get players back in the game without set backs. It takes being in tune with both short and long term goals to elevate performance while mitigating the risk of injury.
Consulting
Kim is called upon to consult for current professional athletes, former professional athletes and urban athletes. With her background as an Athletic Trainer and Strength Coach, Kim eschewed the traditional physical therapy model from the start. Instead, she created a care system where each player’s road to recovery generated unyielding results taking them to a new level of success.
