Kimberly Coogan, LMT
Founder | Clinical Director | Performance Longevity Specialist
With over 20 years of experience, Kimberly Coogan is a soft tissue specialist focused on helping athletes sustain mobility, structural integrity, and high-level physical function over time. Her clinical work centers on managing cumulative load, resolving movement restrictions, and preserving joint durability in athletes with complex injury histories.
Kimberly has worked with professional and high-level athletes across multiple disciplines, including NFL, retired NHL, and combat sports. She has developed particular expertise in addressing the long-term demands placed on the hips, spine, shoulders, and connective tissue structures common in collision and rotational sports.
Her approach is assessment-driven and precision-based, prioritizing intelligent load management and tissue quality over short-term symptom suppression. Not only does she treat isolated pain points with trigger point therapy, she evaluates the broader movement system to restore balance and protect long-term performance.
As founder of Sports Massage Clinic of Livonia, Kimberly directs clinical development and mentors each therapist within the practice’s structured performance framework. Her role includes advanced case oversight, performance planning, and working with athletes who require higher-level clinical strategy to remain resilient under ongoing physical demand.
