Dr. Anthony Inzillo received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from The University of Delaware's #1 nationally ranked Physical Therapy program in 2011.

He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. He is the only Physical Therapist in the area with full-time NFL experience.

Hi, I’m Anthony! I grew up in Newark, DE and attended the University of Delaware where I received both my Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science and my Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy. Upon graduation from PT school, I moved down to Pensacola Beach without knowing a soul to pursue the opportunity to work under world renown orthopedic surgeon, Dr. James Andrews. Over the years, as I continued to gain experience and further my knowledge and skills with advanced certifications and coursework, I eventually became his lead physical therapist. I was responsible for treating elite athletes from the NFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA, WTA, and NCAA as well as high level weightlifters, surfers, runners, recreational athletes, and members of our armed forces. During that time, I was also the physical therapist for the University of West Florida football team and spent time volunteering with the Atlanta Falcons. If these amazing experiences alone did not make my move from Delaware worth it, it was here that I also met my beautiful wife, Josie, and where we adopted our adorable dogs, Riley and Kona. 

In January 2019, we left the gulf coast and headed to Memphis, TN after I received an offer to become the head physical therapist for one of the teams of a new professional football league, the Alliance of American Football. Unfortunately, the league folded due to financial reasons before the first season was complete. Devastated, I stayed in that area and worked at a local PT clinic for a few months until accepting an offer to work for the Atlanta Falcons for the 2019 season. For years, my career goal was to be a physical therapist for an NFL team so obviously, I was ecstatic. I am grateful for that experience for many reasons, but most of all for the perspective that I gained and a new realization of my priorities. Upon completion of the season, I then headed to Tampa, FL to serve as Physical Therapist/Director of Rehabilitation for the XFL’s Tampa Bay Vipers.

Enter COVID-19. The pandemic caused the XFL (and world) to shut down, which fortunately has led us back home to the Pensacola area. While working at another popular high-volume PT clinic, where insurance companies and company profits drove medical decisions and subpar care was being delivered all around me, my personal mission finally emerged.

I created SWELL Physical Therapy & Performance out of necessity. Large in-network PT clinics make it nearly impossible to provide patients with the high level of care that they truly deserve. I place such a high value on my relationship with my patients and the outcomes that I help them achieve that I needed to create an environment free from any barriers. I refuse to let insurance companies, corporate bosses, or non-medical personnel dictate, affect, or influence the care that I provide to my patients for any longer. I now have the freedom to offer my highest quality 1-on-1 care to every patient, every visit, without exception and I cannot wait to help you recover from your injury, maximize your performance, and reach your goals!
