Blake DircksenPT, DPT, CSCSThanks for checking out my site. Below you'll find out a little more about me.

What I Do.
I'm an orthopedic physical therapist at Bespoke Treatments, just outside of Grand Central in Midtown. We spend a full hour providing high-quality care to a variety of clients.

Performance TrainingNEW YORK ATHLETIC CLUB
I partner with clients at NYAC and develop plans to address their goals. Overall health, weight loss, improving strength, any and all between. TEAM PREP USA I work as medical staff and consult with Team Prep USA, which hosts high-altitude overnight running camps for high school distance runners in Crested Butte, Colorado. More below. |
PASSIONS.
Health PromotionI belong to a group of dedicated "do-ers," called the Academy of Prevention & Health Promotion Therapies. Our goal is to promote and create accessible population health with a focus on prevention.
|
User ExperienceI enjoy putting together websites and creating efficient systems directed at creating a positive user experience. I created the website and systems for Team Prep USA, mentioned above.
|
Health TechWhat will physical therapy, fitness, healthcare in general, look like in 5, 10, 50 years from now? Telehealth, block-chain technology, biometric screening, big data, personalized medicine, and whatever comes next. Let's collaborate.

RunningRunning has always been there for me when I needed it. Some of my best friendships were forged by a track or cross country season, and it's a community that I can always count on. My competitive experiences in high school (Noblesville, Indiana), and college (Indiana University) have helped shape the way I approach performance coaching.
I'm currently competing for the New York Athletic Club Winged Footers, and am combining career and passion with Nightcap Training. |
Other Stuff.
Rock ClimbingFind me at Brooklyn Boulders in Queensboro when I'm not running.
|
CoffeeI have a slight obsession with my morning brew. Doesn't need to be fancy, just needs to be correct. I have 6 different brewing methods, but mostly stick to my trusty programmable auto-drip which makes waking up before 6a just a little easier.
|
Favorite PlacesCrested Butte, CO remains to be the coolest, most unique place I've been. An outdoor lover's paradise set in a postcard Colorado mining town. Some of the photos for this site are from there. A close second is the family lakehouse north of Ft. Wayne, Indiana.
