Robb is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a Certified Athletic Trainer, a Certified Functional Manual Therapist, and a Certified Qigong Instructor. He has 25+ years of training and practice in physical therapy and sports medicine. He received his undergraduate degree in Exercise Sciences from the University of Arizona. He went on to receive a Masters and Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy from AT Still University. His post graduate training in manual therapy led him to the course work offered by the Institute of Physical Art (IPA). He became a Certified Functional Manual Therapist (CFMT) with Honors and has taught classes for the IPA thereafter. He is currently only one of three CFMT’s in Arizona.
Robb and his wife Corrie owned and operated the Desert Institute of Physical Therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona for 10 years. Their focus was on creating a medical model that emphasized uncompromised patient care, while building meaningful relationships. DIPT was eventually acquired by another company in 2019 based on its highly recommended reputation in the Phoenix area.
Robb co-founded Medicine in Motion (MIM) in 2010 and is the current CEO. MIM is the premier sports medicine provider for action sports events locally, nationally, and at international events. Robb has taken his company to provide sports medicine coverage at over 100 events including 26 international competitions in 11 different countries.
He has covered three Olympics as a physical therapist for team USA. These include:
- 2002 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City, USA. Team USA Snowboarding Halfpipe.
- 2014 Winter Olympics, Sochi, Russia. Team USA Snowboarding Halfpipe.
- 2024 Summer Olympics, Paris, France. Team USA Skateboarding Street and Park.
