Meet the Owner
Dr. Cíara Forde
PT, DPT, CSCS
Cíara opened REP Physical Therapy & Performance in Melbourne, FL, in 2026 with a vision of helping to redefine what physical therapy should be by providing individualized, one-on-one care that helps people move better, recover faster, and perform at their highest level.
Cíara earned her Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from Simmons University in 2019 before completing her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2021. Having played sports her entire life, including as a collegiate soccer player at Simmons, she understands firsthand the demands of training, competition, injury recovery, and performance. She is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA and has extensive experience treating orthopedic conditions in the outpatient setting, with a special passion for helping youth and adult athletes as well as active adults return stronger than before.
Through her experience as a physical therapist, Cíara recognized that the best outcomes come from dedicated one-on-one care. Every session is spent working directly with her patients, allowing her to identify the root cause of pain or injury, tailor treatment to their goals, and adjust each visit as they progress, all while giving them the time and attention that they deserve. By combining evidence-based rehabilitation with strength and conditioning principles, she helps patients recover from injury, build resilience, and confidently return to the activities they love. Whether you're training for your next race, competing at a high level, or simply want to stay active and pain-free, her goal is to deliver lasting results—not just temporary relief.
Cíara believes that anyone who moves their body is an athlete and deserves to be treated like one. She is committed to helping every patient move with confidence by providing the education, tools, and support they need to succeed long after their time at REP Physical Therapy & Performance.
