University of Mississippi Medical Center
Licensed PT, Mississippi
Dr. Robby Ellis, DPT is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the founder of NeoLife Physical Therapy & Wellness, a four-location outpatient practice serving the Mississippi Gulf Coast since 2015. He specializes in sports rehabilitation, orthopedic physical therapy, dry needling, and movement performance, and holds a 4.9-star rating across 674+ patient reviews.
After earning his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Dr. Ellis founded NeoLife Physical Therapy in D'Iberville, Mississippi in 2015 with a single clinic and a clear mission: to deliver clinical-grade physical therapy that doesn't just treat injuries — it rebuilds the whole person. Over the next decade, he expanded NeoLife to four locations across the Gulf Coast, built NeoFit Performance Institute for elite athletic training, and co-founded NeoGolf Club as the lifestyle capstone of the NeoVerse ecosystem.
Today, Dr. Ellis practices and teaches across all NeoLife locations, leads the Movement Doc brand on Instagram and through the @Movement_doc platform, and operates the first truly integrated health and performance system in the region.
From ACL tears to rotator cuff repairs, Dr. Ellis uses evidence-based protocols to return athletes to full performance. Serving athletes across the Mississippi Gulf Coast at all skill levels.
Comprehensive treatment for musculoskeletal injuries affecting joints, muscles, and connective tissue. Pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation included.
Trigger point dry needling for muscle tension, chronic pain, and neuromuscular dysfunction. Dr. Ellis and multiple NeoLife therapists are dry needling certified.
Identifying and correcting the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms. Dr. Ellis's Movement Doc method addresses how the whole body moves.
Structured recovery protocols for patients following joint replacement, spinal surgery, and soft tissue repair. Coordination with surgical teams included.
Available exclusively at the D'Iberville flagship clinic. Aquatic therapy offers low-impact rehabilitation for patients with severe pain, arthritis, or complex injuries.
As co-founder of NeoGolf Club and clinical partner to PGA professional Allan Martel, Dr. Ellis provides specialized treatment and performance optimization for golfers.
Through NeoFit Performance Institute, Dr. Ellis leads the Movement Doc Executive program — elite 1:1 DPT-supervised performance training for high performers.
Dr. Ellis built NeoVerse around a single insight: recovery and performance are the same journey. Most healthcare systems treat them separately — sending patients from clinic to gym with no clinical bridge. NeoVerse eliminates that gap.

“Movement is medicine. The body doesn't have injuries — it has inefficiencies. Fix the system, not the symptom.”— Dr. Robby Ellis, DPT
Dr. Ellis evaluates the entire kinetic chain — how your ankle affects your knee, how your hip affects your shoulder. Pain is a signal. Movement is the answer.
The traditional model discharges patients when pain stops. The Movement Doc model continues until the patient is performing at their best. NeoLife and NeoFit are built around this principle.
Understanding why you were injured is as important as recovering from it. Every NeoLife patient leaves with the knowledge to protect themselves long-term.

“Dr. Ellis and the NeoLife team got me back on the field after my ACL surgery faster than anyone expected. The difference was that they treated me like an athlete, not just a patient.”
— D'Iberville patient
“I didn't need a referral and was seen the same week I called. The Movement Doc approach made complete sense — they found the root cause of my back pain in the first session.”
— Gulfport patient
“After graduating from NeoLife, I joined NeoFit. I'm stronger and moving better at 52 than I was at 35. Dr. Ellis built something genuinely different here.”
