Jon Kilian, PT, DPT, CSCS, CSPS

Jon Kilian joins the team after obtaining his Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Lynchburg in 2022. Since then he has worked with diverse patient populations ranging from D1/D3 collegiate athletes and highly active individuals to general wellness populations and post-operative states, with an emphasis on restoring function, optimizing performance, and promoting long-term health. Kilian was a multisport athlete through high school and then went on to play lacrosse at Liberty University. He currently resides in Lynchburg with his wife, Nikki, and two children. 

Kilian has furthered his education with various certifications through the NSCA (CSCS, CSPS) which allows him to actively integrate strength and conditioning principles into the rehabilitative plan for numerous populations. Kilian is currently an Assistant Professor at Liberty University teaching classes in the exercise science, strength and conditioning, and athletic training realm. Information dissemination and patient education is of vital importance to him, and he has been published through various peer reviewed journals such as the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Health and Fitness Journal, and NSCA Coach, and Personal Trainers Quarterly. 

Ultimately, Kilian brings a unique perspective grounded in strength-based rehabilitation, shaped by his education, clinical experience, and background in collegiate athletics. He is committed to promoting efficient and effective return-to-performance outcomes for both injured athletes and active individuals. Kilian believes that there is an athlete in everyone, and that performance should not be reserved solely for competitive athletes, but cultivated across all populations.
