All About Stoke PT
Dr. Damien Jackson-Ricketts
Damien is a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in orthopedics and sports performance. His work is rooted in a simple belief: performance without longevity is short-sighted. True strength is built to last.
He works with active professionals and athletes who want more than temporary relief. Through precise assessment, progressive loading, and individualized programming, Damien helps clients restore capacity, build resilience, and develop a deeper understanding of their bodies so progress continues long after treatment ends.
His work is informed by a growing interest at the intersection of sustainability, human performance, and the built environment. Just as thoughtful design creates structures that endure, the human body should be trained with long-term durability in mind. Healthspan matters. Resilience compounds. And environments — natural or built — shape how we move and live.
Over time, Damien intends to integrate these principles more deeply into Stoke, aligning human performance with intentional design and long-term stewardship.
Outside of work, he lives the philosophy he teaches — surfing, mountain biking, hiking, and camping along the coast, continually testing the balance between performance and durability in the real world.
Kenzo
Kenzo is the Stoke mascot and overly-enthusiastic therapy pup. He loves nothing more than a day spent out in the woods hiking or leaving Damien in the dust on the mountain biking trails.

Why Stoke Physical Therapy?
Stoke Physical Therapy is rooted in the belief that physical capacity is the foundation of a life well-lived.
Most healthcare is built to manage symptoms. It’s rushed, insurance-driven, and reactive. You get short appointments with burned-out providers, cookie-cutter treatment, and a plan designed to get you “just healthy enough for discharge.” That model doesn’t build resilience — and it rarely addresses root causes.
High performers don’t settle for “just enough.”
Whether you’re building something meaningful, leading others, raising a family, or training for your next challenge, your body is the engine behind it all. When it’s strong and durable, your thinking is clearer, your movement more fluid, and you show up at a higher level where it counts.
Here, you receive uninterrupted, one-on-one care focused on increasing capacity — not just reducing pain. We look at the full system: how you live, move, train, work, and recover — and how those elements can reinforce one another over the long term.
The goal isn’t temporary relief.
The goal is sustainable performance for decades.
I built this practice for people who see their health as a long-term asset — something worth investing in with intention and strategy.
Sustainable high performance is built on physical capacity — and maintained through thoughtful, long-term care.
Why Concierge?
The decision to make Stoke a fully concierge practice stems from three core principles:
Your time is precious.
Driving to appointments and sitting in waiting rooms is time you don’t get back. Stoke brings elite care directly to your home or workplace, maximizing every minute.
Environment matters.
Where you live and work shapes your physical and mental performance. Seeing you in your own environment gives your provider priceless context that can’t be captured in a clinic.
Simplicity drives results.
Fancy gyms filled with equipment are enticing, but can also become a distraction. The most effective treatments are the ones you can implement daily, with what’s already at hand.
