Meet Patrick Everett of Cuirim Sports Recovery in Costa Mesa

Today we’d like to introduce you to Patrick Everett.

Patrick, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
From a candid aspect, I am from Maryland born and raised. I ended up getting my Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland, College Park. I then went into a dual graduate program, for both a Master’s in Athletic Training and Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

During my graduate studies, I worked primarily with military personnel and professional athletes at the Andrew’s Institute in Florida, as well as working with the University of Maryland Men’s soccer and lacrosse teams. The Andrews Institute and UMD were all about getting the best healthcare to athletes regardless of insurance reimbursement.

I came to California in 2014 where I began to work for an outpatient sports physical therapy clinic. Although this clinic was considered a leader in the area they allowed insurance to dictate the time and quality of care given to each patient. I decided in 2018 to break away and create my own clinic striving for the quality of treatment that was given to Professional athletes and military but for the everyday person. This required to create a unique model that allows patients to directly access the physical therapy without insurance.

Our mission found in our name Cuirim meaning “of the people”, or “in the community” is to be integral in the community that we serve. That being said we are integrated inside the crossfit community Crossfit Costa Mesa. We strive to make a welcoming environment with music playing, sports on the TV and an endless supply of our local favorite thunderking coffee and fermensch kombucha, In addition to Cuirim, I also currently serve as the Athletic Trainer for the Corona del Mar High School Boy’s Lacrosse Program.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Smooth as could be apart from having my girl four months into the business. We have been so fortunate to have the communities we invest in, invest back into us. CDM and crossfit has really supported what we are doing as they have found such great value in it.

The struggle has been to explain our system and its benefits to the individual person. The typical American is so conditioned to using insurance that they do not understand they can actually be getting a better service for less if they go without insurance. Typical co-pays are $35 plus whatever deductible for 20 minutes of treatment and 40 minutes of fluff where we are a little more than double that co-pay with 3x the treatment, resulting in less overall visits and a faster recovery!

Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
I have a borderline unhealthy love for competition. Not winning or losing but just competing. I am pretty sure this, like most issues are from my family. My favorite memory has to be playing ping-pong as a middle schooler with my family until 2am on our ski vacation. So simple but I really enjoyed that time.
