Back In Motion Sport & Spine’s  Physical Therapy Team

Dr. James Porco is originally from Long Island, NY. He received his Bachelor’s in Exercise Science (2015) and Doctorate of Physical Therapy (2019) from Florida Gulf Coast University.

James found his enjoyment for Physical Therapy as a teenager as a multi-sport athlete. He shares that passion of assisting others to perform their best, so that they too can enjoy their bodies to their fullest capability.

Prior to pursuing his doctoral degree at FGCU, Dr. Porco was a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and worked for the Boston Red Sox which began his specialization in athletic performance. While pursuing his doctorate, Dr. Porco used this time to specialize in other areas of interest by earning his Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Medical certification to gain a knowledge of golf biomechanics to increase golf performance, reduce injury & aide in sport specific rehab. Dr. James is also currently taking his course work to become a certified Gray Method Practitioner (™).

In his time away from the clinic, James uses his passion for fitness to live a very active lifestyle including: golfing, crossfit, lifting weights, playing pick-up sports, and going to the beach.
