Meet Tyler
Tyler Axelson, DPT, CSCS is a physical therapist, personal trainer, and educator dedicated to helping people move better and live stronger. His passion for movement began in high school coaching youth sports and has shaped a career rooted in performance, education, and individualized care.
Tyler earned his bachelor’s degree in Sports Psychology from Robert Morris University before completing his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Northeastern University. He has treated orthopedic and sports-related injuries across the lifespan, with a particular focus on youth and adolescent athletes, runners, and active adults looking to return to—or exceed—their prior level of function. He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and has worked as a personal trainer for several years bringing a blend of strength training and fitness to his physical therapy practice.
In addition to clinical practice, Tyler has served as an adjunct faculty member in Northeastern University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program, teaching cadaver and functional anatomy labs. He also brings unique insight from his experience as a robotic clinical specialist, having observed more than 500 total and partial joint replacement procedures, allowing him to confidently guide both pre- and post-operative patients.
Outside the clinic, Tyler is a runner and CrossFit athlete who understands the demands of training, recovery, and long-term performance. As someone living with Type 1 diabetes, he brings a deeply personal appreciation for resilience, consistency, and individualized care.
These experiences led Tyler to create AXL Performance & Recovery, a cash-based practice built around personalized treatment, education, and long-term results—where patients, not paperwork, are always the priority.
