Meet Team One80 Physical Therapy

Our team of elite One80 System Providers

Rhett Polka PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS

Soon after entering the clinical world, Rhett became disappointed with his profession. Rather than reaching for greatness and pushing the envelope, physical therapy had become stagnant and complacent. This brought him to a crossroads that eventually lead to the patented One80 System®.

After several years of experimentation, further education, and applying science in the clinic Dr. Polka created a system that was designed to get results because it was the opposite of conventional medical model. This evolution in practice is what allowed him to open One80 Physical Therapy®. Since 2005, One80 PT has grown into a multiple clinic model. Now, The One80 System is being taught to licensed medical professionals across the country… and world.

As a former high school and collegiate athlete, Dr. Polka remains involved with sports by working with a variety of athletes including little leaguers, high school All Americans, Division I standouts, and professional athletes.
