COLEMAN PHYSICAL THERAPY + PERFORMANCE

Sean Coleman Physical Therapist

My name is Sean Coleman, I am a physical therapist and strength and conditioning specialist from Philadelphia, PA. I attended the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Science in 2011 and my Doctorate in Physical therapy in 2015. While at Scranton, I was a member of the University’s lacrosse team and became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) upon graduating 2011.

Sports have always been my passion. Although I focused on lacrosse during high school and college, I grew up playing basketball, baseball, hockey, and football as well. No matter the sport, I always had the same mentality – EARN EVERYTHING. This has become my mantra in life and is something I instill in all of the athletes I train and patients I treat. When it comes to improving performance or rehabbing an injury, you get out what you put in. But the best results come when effort is combined with a skilled and knowledgeable game plan. This has proven true in every setting I have been in. I have treated weekend warriors, high school and collegiate athletes, and I even had an opportunity to travel the world as a concierge/personal therapist for a professional athlete. Training at every level allowed me to see the differences in quality of care throughout the rankings.

I never had the opportunity to train like a professional athlete. BUT YOU DO! I am taking all the skills I have learned throughout my 8+ year career and I’m bringing them to you! Because training like a pro doesn’t mean using the most expensive equipment. It means taking an eclectic and individualized approach and making it specific to your needs, as well as constant re-evaluation and assessment to ensure progress is being maintained. My treatment and performance plans are backed by science and driven by the results of the experiences in my physical therapy and performance training career. This is why I started Coleman PT & Performance, because every athlete should have the opportunity to train like a pro.

I’m excited to bring my experience to the West Coast to help athletes of all ages reach new heights. I look forward to sharing your journey and pushing you every step of the way while you EARN YOUR PROGRESSIONS!

“Sean is absolutely phenomenal. I can’t stress that enough. He’s the second PT I went to and probably the 5th I had talked to for my abdomen, and his knowledge and explanation are unparalleled. I have been practicing and teaching yoga for years, so his detailed cuing was huge for me – as was the proper use of my abdomen. I knew I wasn’t getting what I needed out of my therapy until I started working with Sean. Another game changer for me was his online platform and scheduling flexibility. Between 2-year old twins and a pandemic in full swing, getting anywhere is impossible. Sean worked with me around nap time – not to mention across the country – and he made sure my homework was reasonable too. Sean made the whole process easy and perfectly tailored.”

“I came across Seans IG account through my gym sharing a PT video on their story. The video focused on movements targeting upper trap/neck pain. For the past few months I’ve had pain in my upper trap and neck which was triggered by movements like HSPU, split/push jerks, and DB thrusters. I scheduled a consult with Sean and we talked about areas I experience pain, pain level, mobility, and recommendations. It felt good knowing that majority of Seans clients are people to do CrossFit, so he was aware of common weak points and triggers for this specific area. I’ve never done PT before and I wasn’t sure how it would be to do PT virtually, but I decided to give it a try! We worked together for one month and within that month I’ve had minimal pain which was a significant difference before starting PT. Sean was available to answer any questions and scheduled weekly check in calls. I had a daily workouts for PT and Sean worked with me to create a schedule that worked with my workout routine. I highly recommended connecting with Sean to get started with PT!”

“Sean played a crucial role in getting me back to where I wanted to be. Sean constantly went above and beyond for me on a daily basis. He was one of the first physical therapist to reach out to my surgeons. Sean stayed in constant contact with my surgeons which helped create synergy, eased my mind, and helped me reach my goals faster. Sean continuously evaluated and tweaked my customized programs to ensure I was reaching all of my goals on time. His personality made the entire process enjoyable and knowledge of how and why we were doing each exercise made our entire time together an awesome experience. I have recommended Sean to numerous friends and family! I cannot recommend him to enough people!”

“After sustaining hip and back injuries, the probability of returning to the same form seemed very low. Thankfully, Sean was there every step of the way and was the difference in getting me to where I wanted to be. His personality and immense knowledge of how and why we were doing each exercise made our entire time together an awesome experience. As a D1 college golfer, he tailored each exercise and stretch specific to my needs in a personalized program greatly improving my mobility and performance. I couldn’t recommend him enough.”

I came to Dr. Coleman after struggling with a herniated disc for about 2.5 years. I had tried
a lot of different therapies, including chiropractic adjustments, ART, massages, customized
resistance training, you name it. But I could never seem to 100% heal my symptoms and I
was finally pushed to try physical therapy.
Dr. Coleman was extremely welcoming and held a lot of space for me to vent my
frustrations and give the full rundown of everything I’d tried. In our initial consultation, he
was able to identify my weaknesses and give me a solid idea of how we could strengthen
those to heal the root cause (which, as with most injuries, was incorrect movement
patterns).
In a matter of weeks I was feeling exponentially better and throughout our time together, I
was able to get back to hinging movements (both RDLs and barbell deadlifts from the floor)
and even get under a barbell to squat again after taking years away from that movement in
particular!
If you’re struggling with chronic injuries, I highly recommend physical therapy, and Dr.
Coleman in particular, to support your recovery. He knows his stuff and is very easy-going,
amazing to work with throughout the entire process and I know I can still come to him with
questions! Thank you Sean for all your help & restoring my passion for lifting!
