The Team
Dr. Nicole Richards DPT, Cert. DN
Return to Lifting Specialist
Dr. Nicole has been passionate about movement, exercise, and recovery since high school. After graduating FSU with her Bachelors in Exercise Science, she attended USF for her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She has now been practicing for over 10 years and in that time states she has learned that the most important part of therapy is creating a realistic, individualized, collaborative treatment plan.
“Everyone’s goals and motives are different and sometimes creating goals can be the hardest part, but I believe it’s the most important! As a mom of two, I’m passionate about getting mamas back on their feet. I’m a former swimmer and tri-athlete, and currently stay active in the gym with strength training.”
