Robin Taylor, DPT
Robin Taylor, Doctor of Physical Therapy, is a lifelong athlete with over twenty five years of clinical experience helping patients live their most active lives.
Robin Taylor was a three-sport athlete in high school and went on to play both soccer and lacrosse at Trinity College. She had a record-breaking career in lacrosse at Trinity College, where she earned a BS in Neuroscience, was named a three-time All-American, and worked as a student athletic trainer. She earned her physical therapy degree at MGH Institute of Health Professions in 1999, with clinical rotations at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and Portsmouth Regional, and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the same program four years later.
After starting her career at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Robin chose to focus on outpatient orthopedics and hone her diagnostic and manual skills. She has built on that foundation with advanced study of the spine, shoulder, and knee, along with training in Dry Needling, Cupping, the Graston Technique, Neurodynamics, Yoga, Pelvis Pro, and the Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute (APPI) approach to Pilates, including advanced APPI Running, Hypermobility, and Scoliosis certifications.
Robin has taken her physical therapy knowledge and combined it with her love of health and fitness. Certified through the American Council on Exercise as a personal trainer, she taught fitness classes at Core Barre Reading, including Men's Core, and currently runs a twice-weekly Tabata class, combining resistance training with Pilates. She designed and implemented injury prevention programming for youth soccer and hockey, and runs myofascial release clinics, ACL injury prevention series, and online workshops for club teams and college athletes. Passionate about eating clean and athletic longevity, Robin strives to educate others on the self-care practices that improve wellness and maximize function.
Ready Athlete Seminar
College athletic teams · Available year-round
Robin brings the Ready Athlete Seminar directly to college athletic programs: a research-backed presentation designed to give competitive athletes a practical framework for performing and recovering at a higher level. She covers the pillars that most training programs overlook: sleep quality and its direct link to injury risk, breathing mechanics, hydration and fueling strategy, postural alignment, myofascial release techniques, and the emerging science of gut microbiome health and polyphenols.
The seminar is grounded in current academic literature but delivered practically. Athletes leave with specific strategies they can apply immediately, not vague guidlines or overdemanding routines. Demonstrations of self-treatment techniques are built into the session so teams can start using the tools the same day.
Robin brings a perspective that's hard to replicate: twenty-five years of clinical work with competitive athletes, her own history as a record-holding college athlete and active competitor, and three kids currently competing at the college level. She knows what the advice looks like when it meets a real schedule, a real body, and real competitive pressure. The seminar is tailored to each team's sport and season.
