Physical Therapy &Performance
Get back to what you love, stronger than before.
Book free discovery callBreak free from limits
Most healthcare is limited by insurance, time, and volume. Patients are rushed. Care is fragmented. Progress stops too early.
You're told you're "good enough."
Pain is reduced — but you're not back to full strength.
You're left:
- Unsure what's safe.
- Lacking a real plan.
- Afraid of reinjury.
That's where most rehab stops.
That's where we take over.
Underdog is here to change that.
Book free discovery callA different approach
This is not traditional physical therapy.
1 on 1 / 60 min sessions
No assistants. No hand-offs. Just focused, expert care every session.
Rehab / Coaching / Strength
We don't just treat pain — we build strength, capacity, and long-term resilience.
Hybrid support
You don't leave with a sheet of paper. You get ongoing programming, guidance, and accountability.
Meet the founder
Dr. Mariel Schofield
Dr. Mariel Schofield is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist who helps active adults overcome injury, restore function, and perform with confidence — blending clinical rehab with individualized strength training and coaching.
She earned her DPT with Honors from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 2017, then moved to Los Angeles, where she helped grow and scale two physical therapy businesses to multiple locations. Her approach centers on long-term resilience and sustainable strategies that leave clients feeling capable, in control of their symptoms, and confident in their bodies.
As a Type 1 diabetic, Mariel is passionate about community education and advocacy, volunteering with local diabetes foundations to teach children and parents how to manage diabetes alongside exercise and sport. Outside the clinic: strength training, volleyball, travel, new restaurants, and her French Bulldog.
