A Complete Guide to Who We Are, What We Stand For, and How We Serve Tampa’s Active Community
Who We Are
Redemption Physical Therapy is a cash-based physical therapy and performance training clinic in Tampa. We help athletes and active individuals move better, recover faster, and perform stronger in their sport/hobby! We follow a model that gets/keeps people moving and is centered on long-term care vs the quick fix that never actually fixes the root problem.
Founded by Dr. Marissa Oxenford, a physical therapist, former D1 gymnast, competitive CrossFitter, and jiu-jitsu athlete, Redemption PT was designed for people who want to get better and continue training in a way that supports healing and recovery. Redemption understands the mental and physical toll of being limited by pain, and have built a space where athletes feel supported, challenged, and empowered.
Our Mission Statement

Rooted in integrity, relentless growth, accountability, and a lifestyle of health, we lead by example and empower our clients to move better, recover faster, and perform stronger. Our mission is to create happier, healthier humans by offering lifelong guidance and support so they can continue to live active, fulfilling lives.

What Makes Redemption PT Different
Our model is much different than the traditional PT you may have experienced.
One-on-One Care
Every appointment is 100% individualized and one-on-one with your PT/PTA. No double bookings, no aides running you through your exercises....just you and the clinician.
Cash-Based Freedom
By not working with insurance, we are not limited by their restrictions. We treat based on what you need, not what insurance dictates.
Client-Focused Approach
Our patients are runners, CrossFitters, lifters, fighters, weekend warriors, you name it. We know your sport, your demands, and how to get you back to full training.
PT + Performance Hybrid
We combine manual therapy, strength training, mobility work, and sport-specific training—because your rehab should make you stronger than before!
What We Treat
We treat a number of conditions. If it limits your training—we treat it; and if there is someone better fit to help you, we refer you to them! Below is a list of things we have experience treating at Redemption, but is by no means a comprehensive list:
Shoulder pain, Rotator cuff injuries, labral injuries
Low back pain
Hip pain, hip mobility restrictions
Knee pain, patellar tendonitis, ACL rehab, meniscus injuries
Strains, sprains, and overuse injuries
Bursitis and tendonitis
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Strength, mobility, and power asymmetries
