Dr. David Felipe, SFR Physical Therapy, Interview with meddkit
Provider Spotlight: Dr. David Felipe of SFR Physical Therapy ⚾🦵
In this spotlight, we talk with Dr. David Felipe, Vice President of Clinical Operations at SFR Physical Therapy in Miami, Florida, whose background as a lifelong athlete shaped his path into physical therapy. After years in the training room, Dr. Felipe found himself choosing between athletic training and physical therapy, ultimately pursuing PT as a way to help a broader population, not just athletes.
He shares both the most common and most misunderstood conditions he treats, including vestibular health—a specialty often associated only with older adults, but one he and his team frequently address in much younger patients as well. He also discusses the rise in overuse injuries among youth athletes, where year-round single-sport training place added strain on growing bodies.
He explains his personal approach to patient care, which centers on a family-oriented, deeply personal model, where patients are treated the way he would treat his own relatives. Family involvement, connection, and trust play a major role in the healing process at SFR.
Throughout the conversation, Dr. Felipe also debunks common misconceptions about physical therapy and offers thoughtful advice for both providers and patients. He strongly advocates for prioritizing health early, taking proactive steps now, and strengthening the body before problems become setbacks.
