ABOUT DR. GAGIC
Originally from a small town called Obrovac (Croatia), Dr. Nikola Gagic moved to the United States in 1998 to begin a new journey after being forced to leave his homeland due to the war occurring at the time. A local to Palm Beach Gardens, Dr. Gagic has many ties into the community that he grew up in. Graduating from Florida Atlantic University in 2015 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Physiology, Dr. Gagic spent 10+ years interning and working in the strength & conditioning field with many athletes of all levels and ages at Cressey Sports Performance. During this time he was exposed to many different styles of training and how to implement them with a thorough assessment; as well as Sports Rehabilitation methods and therapies under direct supervision of Manual Therapists and Physical Therapists. This experience gave him the drive to further his education in the field. Dr. Gagic has also been involved in many sports such as soccer and lacrosse. Having a minor time in Division 1 soccer athletics at Florida Atlantic University, a knee injury sidelined Dr. Gagic and in return this grew his experience in the sports injury rehabilitation category. After spending a season or so in semi-professional soccer Dr. Gagic decided to focus more on his career and participate in local recreational leagues. Dr. Gagic is also a very active weightlifter along with the weekly recreational soccer leagues.
