Kyle O’Flaherty

As a physical therapist and a performance coach, Kyle O’Flaherty believes movement is a form of medicine. As such, he believes it’s crucial to find the right movements at the right dosage for each person he encounters. In his work, he combines the philosophies of rehabilitation and training, guiding people to use their pain as a motivator to not only return to their baseline fitness but also build toward future health goals.

O’Flaherty says choosing the right goals is key to this work. In a time when there is such an immense emphasis on health-data collection, O’Flaherty knows it can be overwhelming to sort through that information and make use of it. As he works with members, he helps them cut through the noise to find exercises, techniques, and functional movements that are appropriate for their needs and fit their lifestyle, because, he says, “the best exercise is the one you can do the most consistently.”

Whether people are looking to build strength, increase endurance, enhance flexibility, or increase overall stability, O’Flaherty emphasizes a balance between improving health while also avoiding future injuries. “Through our treatment, I empower people to understand why they got injured, and more importantly, how to stay out of my office in the future—and how to incorporate this into a lifestyle where they become more resilient,” he says.

O’Flaherty began his training with a degree in exercise science at Springfield College in Massachusetts before getting his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Touro College in New York. He worked as a strength coach for high school, collegiate, and professional athletes, particularly focusing on baseball players. O’Flaherty has also worked with actors preparing for physically demanding roles, with golfers and professional athletes, and with a wide variety of people experiencing chronic pain or other conditions.

At Atria, O’Flaherty oversees a program that seeks to recognize patterns and early signs of movement dysfunction so we can intervene before orthopedic issues arise. “As a team, we can easily access imaging and other objective measures in addition to our evolving movement assessment, to serve as data points to know where to start and then be able to track changes in an objective way,” he says. His work feeds back into the internal medicine group, the cardiology group, and the neurology group, creating true full-spectrum care.

O’Flaherty combines this preventive approach with his emphasis on encouraging members to be their own best advocates, using their medical histories and Atria’s cutting-edge technology to develop tailored, sustainable lifestyle plans. “Embodied in Atria is the idea that we bring everyone who's under baseline to baseline and beyond,” he says. “Behind baseline is reactive care. Beyond is proactive care. My goal is to bridge those.”

In his spare time, O’Flaherty is often outdoors hiking, surfing, rock climbing, ice climbing, skiing, mountaineering, free diving, cycling, and trying other extreme sports that involve, in his words, “calculated risks.”
