Meet Dr. Curtis Weldon, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist & Strength Coach for Barbell Athletes in St. Louis
Helping lifters move pain-free, stay in the gym, and return to peak performance — with fewer sessions and zero insurance headaches
A Therapist Who Trains. A Coach Who Gets It.
I’m Dr. Curtis Weldon, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, born and raised right here in St. Louis. I earned my DPT from the top-ranked WashU PT program, and I’ve been lifting, competing, and coaching in strength sports ever since college.
What I noticed? Too many athletes and active adults were being told to stop training just to manage pain — often by people who didn’t understand how they trained in the first place.
That’s why I built Pride Rehab & Performance — a space where you don’t have to choose between rehab and performance. We bridge the gap between injury and optimal training, keeping you active and building strength every step of the way.
