Brian Adams founded Adams Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy in 2013 with a mission to offer endurance athletes the best possible treatment and training to help them feel better, get faster, and go farther.

The Novi resident is an elite-level cyclist with more than three decades of experience racing, wrenching, and fitting. He's also an accomplished swimmer and triathlete who enjoys soccer and rock climbing. By merging his knowledge of sports and physical therapy, Brian and his Team have come to occupy a unique space in the PT field. He offers bike fitting, shoe/pedal assessment, performance testing, blood lactate tests, and coaching services to bikers and other endurance athletes looking to take their performance to the next level. He also creates custom foot orthotics for athletes that optimize their performance and decrease their risk of injury due to poor biomechanics.

Before creating Adams Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy, Brian spent more than 15 years working at the University of Michigan MedSport Sports Medicine Department as a clinician and a supervisor. He has a vast amount of experience with shoulder and knee diagnoses, acute injuries, post-operative care, and return-to-sport conditioning. He is also a passionate educator, spending time as a Clinical Instructor and adjunct Clinical Lecturer in the PT Department at the University of Michigan-Flint, as well as a regular lecturer at conferences and events on topics pertaining to injury treatment and prevention in athletes.

When he's not at the clinic or racing, you'll find Brian with his wife and their three busy kiddos out and about in Novi, where they are active in the community. He and his family are the proud owners of Gus, the certified therapy dog that you will find in the clinic on most days, as well as their newest edition, "Oliver" the Corgi, who is affectionately the "little brother."

"GUS"

CERTIFIED THERAPY DOG EMERITUS (ALIANCE OF THERAPY DOGS)

GUS [2017-2024]

Gus was a tireless employee of ASMPT from the first day he came home to the Adams family until his last. Sadly, in May of 2024 he lost his battle with an aggressive form of lymphoma that took him days after his diagnosis.

Gus was our resident golden retriever who hung out at the clinic almost every day. He was a gentle giant and greeted patients with a smile and a wag. He was a certified therapy dog through Alliance of Therapy Dogs and wanted nothing more than to make people happy (and be rewarded with a head pat or belly rub)!

He will be missed dearly by his family, staff and the community of patients and athletes that adored him.
