Therapy that MOVES you.

Dr. John Salvas, PT, DPT is a private practice physical therapist with 13 years of clinical experience across the full continuum of care. He began his career at the University of Rochester Medical Center's Sports Medicine and Spine Division, where he established a strong foundation in orthopedic rehabilitation, sports medicine, and spine care.

Following his time at the University of Rochester, Dr. Salvas worked as a traveling physical therapist across the country for 8 years with a deliberate purpose: to practice in every setting available under the physical therapy practice act and gain the breadth of knowledge needed to become the most capable private practice clinician possible. His travels began in Boston, where he worked at Harvard teaching hospital, performing sports medicine interventions and pursuing advanced training in lymphatic drainage.

His clinical journey continued in Syracuse, NY at Upstate Medical Center, where he treated patients across complex hospital environments, from acute neurology units to burn units. He later traveled to California to work with Kaiser Permanente, providing home-based rehabilitation, total joint care, and wound care for patients following knee and hip replacement surgery. Each setting was chosen intentionally, allowing him to develop expertise in managing patients at different stages of recovery and with a wide range of orthopedic, neurological, surgical, and medically complex conditions.

This year, Dr. Salvas opened his own private practice, bringing together the clinical pearls gained throughout his career and applying them directly to individualized patient care. His approach is grounded in a simple belief: two things matter most in treatment - giving patients what they cannot give themselves and giving them time.

Most importantly, time.
