James H. Cassell

Dr. Cassell earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Utica College in 2012 and has been working in outpatient sports orthopedics since. Dr. Cassell initially became interested in physical therapy after tearing his meniscus while playing intramural sports in college. During his recovery, he was intrigued by the hands-on nature of rehabilitative care and how it blended his interests in both science and fitness. Dr. Cassell’s experience includes working with patients ranging in age from 5 to 90. He has treated countless middle school, high school and collegiate athletes, as well as Iron Men/Women, competitive powerlifters/bodybuilders, Tough Mudder/Spartan Race competitors, CrossFitters and golf/tennis club pros. As a former tennis athlete and a professional natural bodybuilder, Dr. Cassell loves the return-to-sport phase of rehabilitation, with the goal always being to have clients surpass their prior baseline of function. Dr. Cassell is Titleist Performance Institute Certified and is a Graston Technique® Specialist.
