Our Team

Dr. Peter Zatezalo is a highly skilled sports and orthopedic physical therapist who brings both expertise and genuine care to every patient he works with. He earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Wheeling Jesuit University in 2011 and has since dedicated his career to helping people move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities they love.

Dr. Peter specializes in orthopedic and manual therapy and holds advanced certifications as an Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) and Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT). He has extensive experience treating shoulder, hip, knee, foot and ankle, and spine conditions—whether you’re dealing with acute pain, chronic issues, or recovering after surgery.

His clinical interests include tendinopathy management, return-to-sport and recreational training, and working with adolescent athletes. As a musician and former martial artist, Dr. Peter has a special passion for performance-based care, injury prevention, and helping both athletes and artists perform at their highest level. His treatment approach may include dry needling, joint manipulation, and detailed biomechanical assessments when appropriate.

What truly sets Dr. Peter apart is his focus on trust, communication, and individualized care. He believes that no two patients are the same and takes time to understand each person’s goals, challenges, and motivations to create a personalized plan for long-term success.

Outside the clinic, Peter enjoys playing music, spending time outdoors, traveling, and discovering great food.
