Dr. Simon Oluwafemi Olaoye
PT, DPT, Cert. DN

Dr. Simon Oluwafemi Olaoye attended the University of Rhode Island for his undergraduate studies where he earned his Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology and Bachelors of Arts in Biology in 2021. That same year, he was awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Award for outstanding leadership and contribution to the University community. There, he developed an understanding of exercise science but only scratched the surface of exercise as medicine. Impassioned for more, Simon attended Tufts University and earned his Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy in 2023, starting on the track to become a pelvic health specialist.

To Simon, a Nigerian born American man inextricably tied to the African American community, the lack of representation and advocacy was glaring in the pelvic health community. He not only developed a deeper understanding and passion for pelvic health but he also saw this as an opportunity for representation, outreach, and growth; a means by which to bridge the gap across multiple domains. Simon is a Pelvic Health Specialist working towards his Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC) under Herman & Wallace, while actively seeing pelvic health patients. Additionally, Simon is certified in dry needling through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy.

Outside of the clinic, Simon enjoys spending time being physically active as a dancer and at the gym, both exercising and as a personal trainer. He started personal training during his undergraduate studies and has continued throughout his graduate studies finding joy in helping others achieve their own personal goals. Simon started his journey as a professional dancer later than most, attending JMW High school for the performing and visual arts. It was there that he developed an understanding and appreciation for foundation as well as fusion. Simon has since gone on to work in many projects such as the 2021 New Music Collective with Verdant vibes and has directed works such as the 2018 The Making of a Journey. Currently Simon works as a professional dancer under Metamorphosis Dance Company of Ten31 Productions.
