Jarred Boyd PT, DPT, MSAT, CSCS
Dr. Jarred Boyd currently works for the NBA Memphis Grizzlies as a Performance Physical Therapist. Prior to joining the Grizzlies, Jarred was on staff at Rehab 2 Perform in Frederick, Maryland. He currently is still involved with the R2P Academy Continuing Education platform.
Since high school, he has had a strong interest in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. The ability to use neurological and musculoskeletal systems to influence the health- performance continuum was always intriguing. As a result, Dr. Boyd attended Virginia Commonwealth University earning a B.S. in Exercise Science. Two weeks after graduation he went on to attend school at the country’s only dual degree program at Shenandoah University. Dr. Boyd had the opportunity to perform clinical rotations at The University of Tennessee, United States Air Force Academy, and EXOS. It was during those experiences that he developed skills in the realm of sports and the physically active population, eventually earning a Master’s in Athletic Training and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2015. As a sport’s physical therapist, Dr. Boyd’s goal is to facilitate return to activity and enhance athlete’s potential by identifying opportunities to enhance durability and sustainability. -

Performance Enhancement SIG
SPE SIG deepens the knowledge and practical application of members who have an interest in performance enhancement of the recovering athlete. The SIG will act as a facilitator for its members who have a common interest in rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and performance enhancement. The SIG will also facilitate collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and the strength and conditioning communities to perform research using commonly applied principles in strength and conditioning of athletes to athletic rehabilitation.
