Dr. Tyler Kallasy is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Performance Coach, writer, and educator who helps active adults and athletes move beyond pain and return to the training and lifestyle they love. He is the founder of, Beyond Pain--a personalized coaching approach that blends rehab & training principles with mindset and lifestyle support to create lasting results without setbacks.
