About Me
Dr. Ismaaeel Zekeria, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist & Coach
Running Rehab Specialist | Barbell Rehab Method (BRM) Certified
Ismaaeel is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with degrees from Cal State Long Beach and the University of St. Augustine. He works with everyone from everyday movers to endurance athletes, with a special focus on runners and active professionals. His approach combines performance-based rehab, movement analysis, and strength training.
He founded Strongform to offer individualized, progressive care—not generic rehab. Ismaeel values precision, transparency, and teaching clients the “why” behind their recovery. Outside the clinic, you’ll find him training, exploring new food spots, or yelling at the TV on fight night.
How is Strongform Different?
Most traditional physical therapy feels rushed, impersonal, and generic — you're just another number, getting a standard plan.
At Strongform, every session is one-on-one with your PT, focused entirely on you. We deliver personalized, performance-based care designed for runners, athletes, and active individuals who want to move better and return stronger.
