A Physical Therapist Who Actually Gets Golf
Dr. Joshua Malutan, PT, DPT, CSCS, is a TPI Medical Level 2 certified physical therapist and the founder of Par Performance PT. He trained across both outpatient and inpatient settings before narrowing his focus to what he's most passionate about: helping golfers understand exactly why they're hurting, fix the movement patterns behind it, and get back on the course with confidence. He's also Dry Needling Certified, which means he has a broader clinical toolkit to address the kinds of persistent pain and soft tissue issues that golfers deal with season after season.
Dr. Malutan is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the owner of Par Performance Physical Therapy. He received his bachelor's degree in Kinesiology at University of Illinois at Chicago and proceeded to earn his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Franklin Pierce University in Arizona. Early in his career, he practiced both in outpatient and inpatient settings developing a well-rounded understanding of injury, surgical intervention and quality of life. Dr. Malutan enjoys working with athletic and work-related injuries such as low back pain, ACL repairs, shoulder instability, and neck pain. He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Dry Needling Certified, and TPI medical level 2 certified and SFMA certified.
Growing up, Dr. Malutan really brought his attention to playing golf as he grew up integrated within the golf community of Chicago and its suburbs. After leaving Arizona to move to Charlotte in 2022, he brought his golf experience and integration into his practice where he has a new focus on helping golfers achieve their greatest potential. He is certified within the Titleist Performance Institute to perform injury and mobility assessments for golfers which he utilizes in his practice to ensure not only every golfer, but every person, can learn how to move efficiently and decrease their risk of injury. Dr, Malutan is very excited to bring this knowledge to all the golfers in the Lake Norman and North Charlotte area.
