I felt like I knew [Dr.] Sofia Costa all my life and we were catching up on old times. Although we might have ran in different circles and probably met in physics class or she whipped my butt in tennis. She was that friend you sought out for her easy smile, infectious laugh, positivity and her unstoppable mindset.

Sofia grew up as the progeny of two prominent medical doctors where every illness and injury was cured by procedures and pills but when she was diagnosed at 16 with compartment syndrome, a painful and dangerous condition caused by pressure build up from internal bleeding or swelling of the tissues. She was determined it was not going to stop her from getting back on the court and playing the sport she loved. This was the catalyst that brought her to find and pursue her purpose and passion.

A powerful story of self-discovery. She is a Functional Medicine Certified Doctor of Physical Therapy, Corrective Exercise Specialist and Mind-Body Energy healer. She is also the author of The End of Back Pain and The Costa Method.
