All for the GLORY of God
About
Glory Health & Performance was an idea built from frustration. As the saying goes, "necessity is the mother of invention." If you had asked prior to starting my career if I would ever start a business, I would have laughed. It didn’t take long for me to realize I would be the crazy one if I were to succumb to the low medical and ethical standards of our current system. It simply wasn’t good enough.
Fast forward several years and Glory Health & Performance was born- a comprehensive blend of helping you eliminate pain and live to your greatest potential.
Why Glory
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31
We believe everything we do should be worship to God. Everything should be done with excellence because God deserves nothing less than our best.
At GHP, our best is the standard.
For a deeper understanding of the meaning of Glory, read Paul Tripp's Doctrine of Glory.
Mission
To provide physical therapy and performance training that heals, restores, and strengthens the whole person to live with resilience and purpose to the glory of God.
Meet Dr. Stephen
Owner, Physical Therapist
Dr. Stephen Brinkerhoff, DPT
Dr. Stephen earned his undergraduate degree from Dordt University, where he studied Exercise Science with a minor in Psychology. He went on to earn his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), where he was recognized as a member of the Pro Bono National Honor Society.
His path in healthcare has been shaped by a wide range of experiences. Before his physical therapy career, Stephen gained valuable experience working as an EMT and in an athletic training setting. These roles gave him the opportunity to work with people across different stages of health, injury, and performance and helped shape his whole-person approach to care.
Stephen's pursuit of excellence has taken him across the country to learn from and work alongside highly respected clinicians and professionals. He remains committed to continuing education and continually refining his approach to rehabilitation, movement, and performance. His belief that people deserve thoughtful, individualized care ultimately inspired him to purse a longtime dream: opening Glory Health & Performance.
At Glory, Stephen's goal is simple - take the time to listen, understand the whole person, and provide a clear path to healing. Whether someone is dealing with persistent pain, recovering from an injury, or looking to return to the activities they love, he belives great care should help people not only feel better, but become stronger and more confident in what their body can do.
Outside of the clinic, Stephen is rarely far from movement himself. When he isn't studying or expanding his clinical knowledge, you can usually find him playing soccer, training, or surfing at the Jersey Shore.
