Professional Biography

                     Devin J Winn, born in Fallbrook, California, lived many years of his life wanting to help those that suffer sports related injuries.  Throughout his high school life and undergraduate experience, he was a top wrestler at both schools, however he suffered a whirlwind of injuries. In high school, he broke his ankle twice and tore his right medial meniscus, and has suffered through knee pain and five bulging discs all through college. To this day he still struggles with the pain.

            Having gone through so many injuries, Devin has been to physical therapy plenty of times and pretty much already had the job experience needed before he even started working on a degree for it.  The one thing that really drew him to the field is how his physical therapist made him feel. Devin wanted to come back each day and get better. The therapist was able to connect with Devin by understanding his sport and not making the whole experience about the injury and instead talking about life in general.

            Devin didn’t get to wrestle the whole season through for three out of the four years in high school, the injuries either delayed his season or ended it.  This took a toll mentally. He almost didn’t want to wrestle in college, however going through physical therapy helped strengthen his back and neck and give him a better chance to not get hurt again.  Devin then wrestled through college and was successful, and got his doctorate degree from the Massachusetts College for Pharmaceutical and Health Services (MCPHS) for physical therapy.

            Having a sports related injury is not fun. Sometimes it causes the athlete to not want to continue the sport.  Going to physical therapy with someone like Devin will help you get better both physically and mentally. It’ll help you want to get back on the mat, field, or court with no fear.  Finding the right person to nurse you back to health makes all the difference and Devin can be that person.  No matter the injury he can find a way to relate to his patients and make going to physical therapy fun. You know what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun.”

            Getting injured doesn’t have to mean you’re athletic life as you know it is over. The world doesn’t have to end.  You can almost always recover from a broken bone or torn ligament. The process isn’t fun, but physical therapy with Devin will make the time easier.
