meet the team
A small clinic in Carytown that knows your name, your goals, and how your last hike went. We take your care seriously but don’t take ourselves too seriously.
DR. ALLISON BEALE, PT, DPT
Founder | Physical Therapist | CEO
Doc Allison started Formation so active adults could get care built around them, not around insurance limits. Before PT, she was a school psychologist, so she knows recovery is as much about feeling heard as it is about getting stronger. She’s played everything from softball to ultimate frisbee, and if she hasn’t tried your sport, she’ll learn it.
Spruse
Client Experience Coordinator
Spruse makes sure everything around your sessions just works: scheduling, questions, follow-ups, and the small details that make a clinic feel like yours. Spruse brings a master’s in exercise physiology, years as a PT tech and climbing coach, and nearly a decade helping Richmond small businesses get the client experience right.
Tater
Chief Morale Officer
Tater runs the vibe check. Most days you’ll find Tater greeting clients, supervising workouts, or napping on the job. Hypoallergenic, endlessly optimistic, and has never skipped a leg day.
How we work
These are the values we hire for, and the reason Formation feels the way it does.
What we stand for
Protect the space. Clients and clinicians are safe to be themselves here. Hateful or discriminatory behavior isn't tolerated.
Root for the whole person. Every client is a priority, and so is every teammate. We notice, remember, follow up, and care about life outside the clinic, not just the spot that hurts.
Improve every week. We learn something every week, share it with the team, and get better together.
Do what you said. We communicate openly, own our part, finish what we start, and back each other up.
Enjoy the ride. We laugh, celebrate wins, and genuinely like working with each other.
Want to work with us?
We’re looking for physical therapists who want to practice one-on-one, strength-based care, for a full hour per visit and the time to really think about each person. If that’s what you’ve been missing, we’d love to talk.
