Book With Jason
“Jason the PT here is one of the best I've worked with. I was working with him in Ohio over the past year so I was excited to see him again while visiting Tampa. As an NFL player, I appreciate and respect the attention to detail and focus he brings to every session.”

Your Therapist

JASON MODAFARI, DPT

Doctor of Physical Therapy, Tampa, FL

Jason served as a physical therapist on the Cincinnati Reds' medical staff and worked alongside longtime Reds team physician Dr. Tim Kremchek at Beacon Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine. He now brings that Major League experience to Athletic Potential's Tampa clinic.

Clinical rehab continues into baseball-specific strength, throwing progressions, mound work, bullpens, and the final transition back to unrestricted play. Jason may also use manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, ARPwave neuromuscular therapy, or shockwave therapy when the treatment fits the patient and the plan.

Bodybuilding is part of Jason's own training life. He works with Tampa Bay lifters on pain during training, recovery between sessions, and getting back to their usual split. Dedicated bodywork, ARPwave, and StemWave visits are available.

BODYBUILDING REHAB & RECOVERY

Work with a physical therapist who understands a training split. Jason helps with painful lifts, recovery between sessions, and returning to training after injury or surgery.

Book injury rehab or reserve time for bodywork, dry needling, ARPwave, or StemWave. ARPwave can be used during exercise. StemWave visits can stand alone or follow training, based on screening and the goal for the session.

What care looks like

We start with your goals, connect one-on-one treatment to the work between visits, and adjust the plan as your strength, symptoms and activity demands change.

We are a self-pay practice. Superbills may be available for eligible physical therapy visits; reimbursement depends on your insurance plan.

How treatment and progression work

The Process

HOW THIS WORKS

01

EVALUATE

We look at your symptoms, movement, strength, injury history, and training demands to build a plan around what you want to get back to.

02

TREAT & TRAIN

Every session combines physical therapy with training. Manual therapy, dry needling, strength work, throwing progression, and data collection all happen in one facility. Standard follow-up visits are 45 minutes, one-on-one, with Jason.

03

PROGRESS WITH DATA

Every milestone is objective. Strength benchmarks, range-of-motion targets, velocity thresholds, and workload tolerance guide when the program progresses.

04

RETURN TO COMPETITION

Full competitive throwing, game-speed demands, and performance testing come before clearance. We stay involved through the transition back to full competition.
