Hello, my name is Eric Oliver. I was born in California to immigrant Filipino parents. Both my parents were in the medical field, and they instilled the kind of values and work ethic in me that typical Catholic immigrant parents provide. We moved to Cincinnati in the 70’s, and I have called this great city “home” ever since. I went to Kings High School and stayed home to graduate from the University of Cincinnati in 2001. I have been practicing orthopedic and manual physical therapy in Ohio for 22+ years.

I started Beyond Exercise in 2011 after deciding that I was fed up with the status quo of delivering physical therapy. While working for conventional clinics I grew unhappy with shortened treatment times, productivity standards that took priority over patient care, and a shortened spectrum for rehab due to insurance coverage restrictions.

Rather than continue to practice in the conventional setting, I decided that I wanted to spend more time with my patients and treat them to their very end goal, not just to the end of insurance coverage. I also wanted to surround myself with smart, kind, and empathetic people with the same mindset, and I wanted to provide them with the same opportunity to escape the status quo of the health and fitness industry. Over the past 13 years, Beyond Exercise has evolved into exactly how I have envisioned…and then some.
