What can I help you with?

About Me:

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Orthopedic Clinical Specialist with a background in Kinesiology and Biomechanics, heavily influenced by Postural Restoration Institute, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, and Functional Anatomy Seminars. I want to provide you with a better understanding of your body, a daily self-assessment tool you can use to determine your preparedness or injury risk for any particular activity or sport, and ultimately create an individualized mobility program strategically designed to bulletproof your joints and mitigate injury risk based off your current activity level. With my background and experience, I am confident I can help you achieve and maintain a pain-free, healthy lifestyle.

I currently work with a wide variety of orthopedic populations including NFL athletes, professional surfers, Irish Dancers, high school/college athletes, weekend warriors, and elderly individuals. Regardless of your background, we will work together to create a highly individualized program to help you achieve your goals!

Testimonials

"I worked with Tara after my third knee surgery. My recovery after working with Tara was significantly faster and has proven to be more sustainable 2.5 years later. She is so knowledgeable. Gentle yet will kick your a$$ and push you to be stronger. I’ve referred Tara to many clients, I’ve watched her transform lives and given people back strength and mobility they didn't know was possible. I can’t say enough good things about Tara. If you need any sort of Physical Therapy she’s absolute BEST!."

Bree Hughes, Real Estate Agent & Active Mom

"I’ve been seeing Tara for the last 4 years as a high school and college athlete. She is cut above any physical therapist I’ve ever had , and I’ve had a few but she is just next level. She has a deep understanding of what’s happening in the body and her ability to communicate it clearly, effectively treat it and teach me how to strengthen the systems causing the problem consistently blows my mind. and she’s just great to be around. i consider finding Tara one of the best things that ever happened to me, and my whole family agrees."

Josie Johnson, Collegiate Volleyball Athlete

"Tara has made a remarkable difference in the quality of my day-to-day life by significantly reducing the levels of acute and chronic joint, soft tissue and arthritic pain I’ve suffered with for decades...

Tara listens and assesses carefully, suggests appropriate level treatments, monitors progress, subsequently alters treatments as needed for improvement, and recommends ongoing exercises accordingly. I would highly recommend Tara to any and all of my family and friends in need of an effective, compassionate and dedicated physical therapist who can significantly reduce pain levels without the use of medications."

Mark Tierney, Weekend Warrior

"I went to see Doctor O’Brien for ongoing chronic back pain after several chiropractors couldn’t fix the pain. She is the BEST, truly cares so much for her patients on a personal level. She really took the time to dig into the root of my issue and consistently checked up on me to revise my PT plans based on my issues.

She uses multiple methodologies based on the specific need of each issue I have. She thinks out of the box for recovery so that nothing is a one size fits all fix. I can tell she thoughtfully puts together each exercise plan and I’m so appreciative of her efforts and it shows in my progress!"
