Richard Biggers PT, CSCS
The FocusPTF objective is to go beyond the treatment of injury and condition the body for better health.
Dedicated to providing exemplary physical therapy services in the Carolina region, Rich brings more than 20 years of clinical experience to his practice. He combines his distinctive treatment plans with an ongoing awareness of today’s most current health care research. The result is Focus Physical Therapy & Fitness, the embodiment of Rich’s commitment to helping individuals achieve a superior standard of health and well being.
Thanks to state-of-the art facilities, specialized treatments and equipment, Focus Physical Therapy & Fitness has become one of Charlotte’s leading sources of exceptional rehabilitative and physical performance services. As Rich insists, the Focus objective is not just about treating injuries; it’s about enhancing overall health.
An accomplished high school and college athlete, Rich is familiar with the cycle of sports injury, surgery, therapy and recovery. He prides himself on being able to bring this empathetic perspective to each of his patients, knowing how important it is for them to get back into the game. Passionate about practicing what he teaches, Rich continues to challenge himself physically with long-distance running and cycling events and weight training. His core belief is that Movement Heals, and he empowers Exercise as Medicine to bridge the gap between traditional physical therapy and fitness centers. This means outstanding results for Focus clients.
A New York native, Rich is a graduate of the renowned School of Physical Therapy at Ithaca College. After earning his Physical Therapy license in New York, he relocated to San Diego, California. Rich’s reputation for expert care and rehabilitation grew quickly and he was inspired to create his own private practice. Within a few years, his company operated nine clinics throughout Southern California.
Today, he has returned to the East Coast with his family, intent on providing that same level of patient care and commitment to residents throughout North and South Carolina.
