Dr. Sierra Gilman is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over a decade of experience helping individuals recover from injury, restore movement, and return to the activities they love with confidence.

After earning her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California, Sierra has dedicated her career to orthopedic rehabilitation, sports medicine, and helping active individuals bridge the gap between rehabilitation and peak performance. As a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and certified dry needling practitioner, she combines evidence-based treatment with an individualized approach designed around each person's unique goals.

A former NCAA Division I sprinter, Sierra understands firsthand the physical and mental demands placed on competitive athletes. That experience continues to shape her treatment philosophy today. Whether working with youth athletes, collegiate competitors, active adults, or individuals recovering from surgery, her goal extends beyond reducing pain; it's restoring confidence, improving movement quality, and preparing people to return to sport, training, and everyday life stronger than before.

At SEDULOUS, Sierra is helping expand our Performance Therapy and Recovery services while working closely alongside our Strength & Conditioning coaches to create a more complete approach to performance, rehabilitation, and long-term health. She believes the best outcomes occur when rehabilitation, strength training, movement education, and injury prevention work together—not as separate services, but as one integrated system.

Her approach is collaborative, hands-on, and focused on long-term success. Every patient receives individualized care designed not only to address today's symptoms, but to identify the underlying movement limitations that may be contributing to pain, reduced performance, or recurring injuries.

Whether your goal is returning from injury, improving athletic performance, preventing future setbacks, or simply moving through life with greater confidence, Sierra is committed to helping you build a stronger, healthier, and more resilient body.
