Island Center For Functional & Restorative Medicine 

My Story: Bradley L. Aylor PT., MD

For as long as I remember I've had a passion for health and the human body. Though being a medical physician was never an anticipated goal of mine early on, it is something that I evolved into, and truly love because it gives me the opportunity of offering true health and wellness.

I started my career as a physical therapist, drawn into the field by the hands on approach, I also graduated with a degree in exercise physiology to better understand and incorporate the physiological parameters of optimal health, fitness, and function. It was after practicing as a physical therapist for a number of years that I became aware that I was restricted in what I wanted to offer patients. I then pursued medicine with the original intent of becoming an orthopedic surgeon. During my training I had the opportunity of experiencing many fields of medicine that were all fascinating. I however chose the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation in that it aligned with my long term goals of improving an individual's functional capabilities and quality of life, more so than any other field.

I've always had a passion for knowledge and the desire to answer the questions of why. This has led me to get additional board certifications through the American Board of Medical Specialties in physical medicine and rehabilitation, pain medicine, and sports medicine, as well as integrative medicine through the American Board of Physician's Specialties. I've also obtained certification through the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine, American Board of Obesity Medicine, and a certified practitioner with the Institute of Functional Medicine, along with advanced study in hormone replacement and medical acupuncture.

This has been a long and exciting journey that continues to lead me with a more comprehensive set of skills and knowledge to address the goal of optimal health.
