About Dr. Sean Neighbarger

PT, DPT. Physical Therapist.

Dr. Neighbarger earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2024, following a B.S.Ed. in Exercise Science from The Ohio State University in 2021. Sean was a member and captain of the Men’s Gymnastics Team at OSU, which gave him firsthand experience with high-level sports performance and leadership. Combined with his clinical training in orthopedic and neurologic settings, that background shapes how he treats patients with a wide range of conditions and physical abilities.

Sean remains active in gymnastics by coaching competitive boys’ gymnastics, where he focuses on sports performance and injury prevention. As a long-term patient himself through his own athletic career, he understands why patient autonomy matters, and he prioritizes education so patients understand what their therapy is aiming to achieve and how it will get them there. He continues seeking out continuing education in both manual and exercise-based approaches.
