The Story
Dr. Caleb Strassberg, PT, DPT, ATC, CSCS
I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Athletic Trainer, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist dedicated to helping athletes perform and feel their best.
A Brunswick County native, my journey began just across the Cape Fear River before heading to Chapel Hill, where I became a proud 2015 Tar Heel at the University of North Carolina. From there, life took me west to my dream surf destination—Southern California—where I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the nation’s top-ranked program at the University of Southern California.
After graduation, I expanded my expertise with a Master of Science in Athletic Training, driven by a passion for bridging rehab and performance. That passion led me to the National Football League, where I spent three years working with elite athletes at the highest level of competition.
After an incredible chapter in the NFL, my next adventure began—family. My wife and I traded the mountains of Denver for the coast of Carolina, returning home to raise our kids and give back to the community that shaped me.
Today, I’m proud to bring my experience working with NCAA Division I, Olympic, and NFL athletes to Wilmington—helping local athletes, active adults, and anyone chasing their next level reach their peak potential.
The Mission
SciSport - “A Sports Science Institute for Performance Training & Physical Therapy”. This is a new alternative to the traditional clinic. SciSport brings the pro-athlete level of sports physical therapy to Wilmington. The goal of sports physical therapy is simple - return to play at the highest level to compete and win. By operating out of the fully equipped gym of Matt Skelly Training, SciSport can give you the full return to play sports rehab you need.
At SciSport, when you progress past basic table exercises, the fun begins. Physical therapy should get you back in the game stronger, faster, and more capable of meeting the demands of your sport. Physical therapy and sports performance training shouldn’t be distinct entities. This is science-based and performance driven. Give your body the treatment it deserves.
Don’t play a sport? Doesn’t matter. SciSport is for anyone who is highly invested in their health and wellness. Never “got back” to your favorite active pastime, it’s never too late! Our strength & conditioning style exercise programming combined with elite manual therapy techniques, can give you the tools it takes to finally get back to the activities you love.
