A physical therapist (PT) is a medical professional who specializes in restoring mobility and motion that is usually associated with pain and pathology. A PT has the unique skills to comprehensively evaluate, identify, and correct faulty movement patterns that often are the precursor to an individual's pain, stiffness, or physical complaint.
Physical therapy should not be a passive process as PT'swork collaboratively with their patients when establishing an individualized treatment aimed at educating and guiding the recovery of a patient's condition which ultimately improves quality of life.

The Clinic - Physical Therapy & Human Performance, Inc. was founded by Alex Bravo in 2015 when he saw a need in South Ogden for a facility that not only delivered comprehensive and evidence-based outpatient physical therapy; but also served as a premier resource and provider for state of the art human performance programs that aim to prevent injury, optimize movement, and maximize performance.
Alex received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Utah in 2011 after receiving his Bachelor of Science degree from Weber State University in Athletic Training and becoming a Board Certified Athletic Trainer in 2007.
Alex recently became a Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialist (SCS) through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialists and becomes one of only a handful of clinicians in the state that is Board Certified as an Athletic Trainer as well as a Sports Clinical Specialist.

Surgery is often the reason for referral to physical therapy, and although post-operative protocols are ultimately determined by the surgeon it is imperative that your physical therapist understands your specific surgery, tissues and structures involved and how that will impact rehabilitation and subsequent surgical outcomes.
Physical Therapy for non-operative conditions has been shown to be just as effective and less expensive for many orthopedic conditions when compared to surgery or other commonly used invasive treatments. Physical therapy aims at getting to the very root of the problem; by addressing contributing factors, correcting muscle imbalances, and restoring movement/mobility - patients often find resolution of their pain and dysfunction.
Sports physical therapy differs from general orthopedic physical therapy in that it requires your physical therapist to have an acute and comprehensive understanding in the various functional requirements of your sport and how it relates to movement function/dysfunction and subsequent injury. This is so extensive, in fact, that it is one of eight specialty areas the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties offers.

I was involved in a car accident and received bad whiplash, and leg injuries. My good friend referred me to Alex. He and his entire staff were so friendly, patient and compassionate. Alex took the time to really listen to my issues and he applied his knowledge and skills accordingly. I was amazed at how much better I was feeling after only a couple sessions. It was a bad circumstance for which I met him but so glad I did. I would recommend The Clinic to everyone.

Alex Bravo and his staff were absolutely top notch as they helped me recover from ankle surgery. Alex is an excellent listener which is an asset sometimes lacking in those in the medical arena. That combined with his extensive knowledge and wide range of skills and exercises made for a positive experience and good recovery. He and his staff had the right balance of friendliness and caring while pushing and motivating me to work hard toward recovery. I highly recommend The Clinic for anyone needing PT!

Alex and staff are amazing! I was referred here by my doctor and will never go anywhere else. Alex is genuine and sincere about each patient and resolving the issue that you present to him. He listens carefully and uses his years of knowledge and experience to find the root cause and begin therapies to alleviate symptoms. His work on my back issue has been relentless and I have never felt better. I know that I will be back to where I would like to be as long as I am doing the work he shows me during each session. I would recommend for anyone.

I had been to three other PT clinics before Dr James Joseph recommended I see Alex and staff at The Clinic. I was skeptical that my spinal injury and sciatic pain could improve and possibly heal. I was paying out of pocket and wondering if it was going to be worth it. This clinic and Alex's techniques are like no other, personalized for you and they genuinely care about your needs. The staff is small and so I saw the same people every visit and always was worked on by Alex. They conveinently have early and after work hours. They called me for openings if I had to reschedule. Alex was mindful of

Alex is very knowledgeable & is willing to explain what he believes your problem to be & what he is doing to try to help, using the large plastic skeleton, and he answers questions that you might have. He & his staff know all the clients by name & treat clients in a friendly but professional manner. Alex spends 1 on 1 time with each client. I have used other Physical Therapists in the Ogden area & either saw the Therapist very briefly or not at all. He was recommended to me, & I would recommend him to others.

Thank you Alex and staff! I had hip pain for about 1 1/2 years before seeing Alex. I even had 6 months of physical therapy with a different physical therapist with no real results. My orthopedic surgeon referred me to Alex after injections didn't work for my pain. The Clinic did not accept my particular insurance plan, but I found that it cost me less to go there than to use my insurance at a different office. Alex taught me how to functionally move and how to build muscle. He made me work hard and taught me how to work hard at home. I can now sleep on my left side again and am able to do many

Exceptional. I’ve seen physical therapists all across the country (military spouse) and Alex is the best I have ever worked with. He is highly intuitive and uses a brilliant mix of traditional and cutting edge techniques. I scheduled with him because he is the area’s most reputable physical therapist for lower back care, but his work in my shoulder and wrist was awesome also. I’m not exaggerating when I say that pain relief occurred during my first treatment. While that may not be possible for every case due to individual complexities, your best chance for a powerful recovery is with Alex
