About Ninja Physio
Dr. Lily Yu PT, DPT, CSCS
I became interested in physical therapy when a PT helped me recover from a knee injury while training for a half-marathon in college. After getting my Doctor of Physical Therapy, I worked at different facilities across the country, which helped me see the shortcomings that contribute to the sub-par results in the healthcare system. I also realized that in order to truly serve my clients, I’d need to start my own practice, so Hippy and I started Ninja Physio.
My athletic endeavors include a marathon, several half marathons, obstacle course races (OCRs), CrossFit, calisthenics, acroyoga, and bouldering, so I know first-hand the physical demands of of an active life, the setbacks and frustrations of being injured, and what it takes to come back better than before.
Hippy
At my first job out of college, I received training in management and personal development, which catalyzed my interest in personal growth and bringing out the best in others. I have particular sets of skills which I’ve acquired over the years, and that I use to try and make the world a better place. When not in front of a computer or napping, I might be reading, weightlifting, running OCRs.
Our Purpose
We're here to inform, inspire, and empower people to attain higher levels of strength, mastery, service, and freedom.
Our Values
Strength
We believe that strength, physical and mental, is the foundation to everything else in life. The stronger we are, the better we can seek mastery, serve others, and ultimately maintain our freedom. The stronger we become, the less we have to hope things turn out favorably, and the greater our ability to shape our destiny.
Mastery
Mastery is the difference between getting something right and never getting it wrong. It’s the relentless pursuit of knowledge, skills, and excellence. By acquiring, applying, and practicing the right knowledge and sharpening our skills, we can learn to minimize injuries, stay active and mobile late into life, achieve our goals, and serve others better.
Service
Society works best when people are looking out for each other. We strive to do what’s best for our clients, team, community, and the planet we live on. Every client also empowers those around them by serving as a role model and bringing an even better version of themselves to their family, work, and community.
Freedom
By freedom we mean: 1) Being free from unnecessary pain to pursue our dreams and goals and 2) being free from dependency on pills, injections, and never-ending appointments when there’s a lasting solution. Pain from injuries restricts freedom, by necessity, to reduce the risk of further injury, but it’s supposed to be temporary; it’s no way to live.
Get started with your free discovery call.
If you’d like to live pain free and stay active, you’ll get more out of this call than most (if not all) of the other appointments you’ve had.
