Your PT in your pocket
Injury Rehab
As a doctor of physical therapy and surfer, I understand the toll surfing takes on your body. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or left without enough insurance visits, I’ll create a personalized rehab plan to get you back to peak performance — and more confident in every wave you paddle into.
Injury Prevention
Preventing injuries is just as important as treating them. I assess your surf-specific movement, mobility, and strength to spot potential issues early — then build a personalized plan to keep you in the water and injury-free. Don’t let a small issue turn into missed swells.
Sports Performanc
Unleash your full potential in the lineup with our surf-focused performance coaching. From honing your balance and agility to increasing paddle power and endurance, as well as rotational power, our programs are designed to take your surfing to the next level.
Dr. Robby Brovarnik
​
I’m a first-generation Ukrainian-American, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and lifelong movement nerd. I grew up as a chubby kid who found skateboarding, then traded concrete for waves and never looked back. These days, if the surf’s flat, I’m climbing something, hiking challenging terrain, or training to stay surf-ready.
Before becoming a PT, I spent 8 years as a personal trainer. And like many athletes, I’ve had my share of setbacks. A grade 3 AC separation and a meniscus tear both knocked me out of the water and forced me to rehab myself back. So I don’t just understand injuries from the textbook—I know the emotional frustration, identity loss, and mental grind of being sidelined from the sports you love.
My goal? To help you surf stronger, recover smarter, and stay in the lineup longer—without burning out or breaking down. I’m also bilingual so I can always break down your rehab in both Russian and English. ​
What people say
David L.
"I'm an avid trail runner and hiker and needed help developing a plan after my calf strain to return to the mountains. Robby helped identify my weak points and got me back stronger than ever. His coaching through his app helped me to stay accountable and progress each week."
Shahar Z.
"My back would spasm after long surf sessions that resulted in missed days in the water. Robby's program made it easy to stay consistent with my training, and his regular checkins helped with any adjustments needed. After a couple months of working with Robby, I was back surfing stronger than ever."
