[email protected] 

Dr. Chad Burnham is a coach, physical therapist, and the founder of ProForm Physical Therapy. His passion for fitness and physical therapy began in the gym at an early age and grew through his college years, culminating in earning his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from the University of Rhode Island in 2009.

As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Dr. Chad is highly skilled in golf-specific fitness, pain-free performance, advanced manual therapy techniques, and 3D chain reaction biomechanics.

After years in a traditional physical therapy setting, Dr. Chad recognized the limitations imposed by insurance-driven care. He believed patients deserved better—individualized, one-on-one care tailored to their unique needs.

In 2016, he founded ProForm Physical Therapy to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance training. By redefining the physical therapy experience, Dr. Chad created a state-of-the-art facility designed to optimize patient outcomes while supporting the broader community.

ProForm Physical Therapy is far from a typical clinic, and Dr. Chad is anything but an average physical therapist.
