Founder & Orthopedic Physical Therapist

Reilly is a residency trained orthopedic physical therapist and the founder of Blackwater Performance. He specializes in orthopedic rehabilitation and helping active individuals recover from injury while improving performance.

His treatment philosophy combines evidence-based rehabilitation with performance-focused training to help patients move better, get stronger, and return to the activities they enjoy with confidence. Reilly has a particular interest in treating orthopedic injuries, overuse conditions, and movement-related pain in athletes and active adults.

Outside of the clinic, Reilly enjoys surfing, Jiu-Jitsu, CrossFit, and open water swimming. His personal involvement in these activities gives him a unique understanding of the physical demands athletes face and helps him create individualized treatment plans that support both recovery and long-term performance.

Our Mission

Performance Shouldn't Hurt

Blackwater Performance began with a simple frustration: too many people are given cookie-cutter PT protocols that are ineffective. PT needs to be individualized and measured to ensure goals are met efficiently. We built a clinic that treats the whole athlete, not just the injury.

Whether you’re managing a nagging injury, training for a competition or just want to perform at your best our approach blends clinical rehabilitation, recovery and performance coaching - so you leave stronger than when you started.

Our Philosophy

What guides every session

People First

You're treated as an individual with specific goals — never a diagnosis on a checklist.

Evidence-Based

Treatment grounded in current research, not outdated protocols or guesswork.

Built to Last

We don't just treat symptoms — we build capacity so problems don't come back.
