Dr. Adam Barnard, PT, DPT Doctor of Physical Therapy | Online PT & Personal Training Hi, I’m Dr. Adam Barnard, a Doctor of Physical Therapy dedicated to helping people move, heal, and thrive.

I earned my DPT from California State University, Fresno in 2020, serving as Class President all three years. I quickly advanced to Clinic Director, but I wanted to do more. In 2023, I launched Santa Cruz Concierge Health, my own online PT and personal training practice, making expert care more accessible and flexible for patients. What Sets Me Apart? A Strong Foundation in Communication – Before becoming a PT, I earned a BA in Communications, which gave me a deep appreciation for how vital clear, compassionate communication is in patient care. Understanding pain and movement is one thing—helping patients feel heard, understood, and motivated is another.

A Mind-Body Approach – My partner is the CEO of a psychology practice, which has deepened my understanding of how the mind affects physical health, healing, and performance. Together, we run wellness retreats in the Santa Cruz mountains, blending mental and physical health practices to create transformative experiences, often joined by our fluffy Maltese Bichon, Lexi! Freedom & Flexibility in Patient Care – I love what I do because it allows me to treat patients from anywhere. I have a strong sense of adventure and love to explore new places, hike, be at the beach, get lost in the forest, train intensely, and rest just as hard. My Mission: – Elevate PTs as front-line providers, ensuring they’re recognized as experts who can identify when imaging or medical referrals are needed. – Mentor new PTs, helping them navigate the medical field, improve documentation, and refine clinic operations. – Create a one-stop wellness platform, offering PT, personal training, and health coaching to patients worldwide.

If you’re ready to take charge of your health, I’d love to help. Let’s get moving!
