With blog posts and training programs like Fundamentals of Training and Work(out) From Home designed for anyone from a workout novice to licensed health care professionals, there is something here for everyone to learn, grow and take control of your health.

Summit Performance and Therapy is run by Patrick Gilbert, PT, DPT, ATC, CSCS who provides personal training and physical therapy services to clients of all backgrounds and experiences. He has been training clients for years and has been a practicing physical therapist since 2016.

Exercise is an integral part of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. It is important to be able to take full advantage of that opportunity. Many people have the desire to exercise and get into better shape but lack the knowledge to get started or to keep going past the very basics. Working With a Personal Trainer can be that step you need to achieve your goals and to be more active while having adequate mobility, strength and endurance to do so.

If an injury is nagging you and preventing you from doing the things you love, scheduling time to rehabilitate with a physical therapist can be just what you need. Together, we will determine the cause of the injury and determine what current impairments and limitations are impacting your ability to move and do the things you want. From there, we will develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will address the issues at hand and get you back to feeling your best.

About

Patrick Gilbert is a licensed physical therapist, athletic trainer and certified strength and conditioning specialist. Originally from Milton, Vermont, Patrick grew up playing soccer and baseball. He also raced in organized go-kart leagues. While participating in these sports, he found improved strength, endurance and physical performance through weightlifting. Guided by personal trainers at a local gym, Patrick was introduced to the world of lifting weights and training for optimal performance. Since that time, he has enjoyed the many benefits that training through intelligent methods offers. Patrick has consistently sought to improve his training methods through trial and error, educating himself through research and reading other professionals’ work.

Patrick attended college at Northeastern University, where he received his undergraduate degree and Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT). During his time at Northeastern, he assisted with men’s ice hockey weightlifting which offered insight into a new athletic population. He also volunteered for two seasons with the Boston Celtics, then completed a semester-long clinical rotation with the Indiana Pacers, where he was again exposed to a unique population and the differences and opportunities that come with that sport. Prior to his graduation, he earned his certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) certification from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. 

After graduating from Northeastern, Patrick worked as a physical therapist in an outpatient clinic in Boston, worked as a personal trainer for private clients while also going back to school at Bridgewater State University for a degree in Athletic Training. While there, he completed clinical affiliations with Bryant University’s D1 collegiate football program, various high school sports at a local Boston-area high school and two semesters with the Chicago Cubs at their spring training complex in Arizona. Through these experiences, he was exposed to athletics at many different levels and sports which helped to further shape his fitness model. 

After graduating with a Master’s of Science in Athletic Training and becoming licensed as a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC), Patrick moved to Indianapolis, IN where he works full time as a physical therapist and athletic trainer. He operates Summit Performance and Therapy, where he offers personal training services online and in-person, as well as physical therapy services to local clients of all backgrounds. In his physical therapy role, he is primarily responsible for rehabilitation and injury prevention via manual therapy and other treatment methods. His personal training role enables him to take those clients from injury back to their previous level of activity and to push them to new heights.
