Biography:
Dr. RJ Salasky, DPT, CSCS, CAFS, 3DMAPS, ASTYM cert.
LOCATION: SPT-Factoria – Clinic Director
Much like half the people that I have meet out here in Seattle, I myself am not from here. I am originally from Indiana in the heart of the Midwest. My response every time to the question of “what brought out here?” is that “this is NOT the Midwest.” I love the active lifestyle that Seattle and the Pacific NW has to offer. On the weekends you will most likely never find me at home. I will either be hiking, biking, skiing, golfing, camping, or playing soccer. I played soccer all the way through college and is my first sport love, so going to Sounders games is a regular occurrence for me. I love training and participating in Spartan/Tough Mudder races, and have an aspiration to compete in an Iron Man one day. One of my favorite activities is riding my bike all around Seattle and trying different breweries and food trucks. On my lazy days you may find me watching The Office (for the 10th time through), Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or whatever the big sport game is on TV. I am die hard University of Michigan football, University of Dayton Flyers basketball, Chicago Bears, and US Men’s National Soccer team fan.
