Originally from Chatham, Virginia, Dr. Justin developed a love for sports and movement early on while playing baseball and golf in high school. He went on to earn his Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of Lynchburg in 2021 and later completed his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree there in 2024.

He’s passionate about helping highly motivated, active individuals reach their full potential—whether that means getting back to the activities they love or pushing their performance to the next level.

Outside of the clinic, Justin enjoys working out, playing golf and disc golf, and spending time with his wife.

Hi, I’m Dr. Stephen Racanelli but I go by Dr. Stephen. I was born and raised in Lynchburg, VA where I attended Brookville High School, and went to college at Liberty University where I ran track and field as a sprinter. My passion for sports performance and strength & conditioning pushed me to open Tier 1 Performance + Chiro in my hometown.

My chiropractic education was completed at Palmer Chiropractic College in Daytona Beach, FL. After I earned my degree I did a year of sports performance chiropractic in Cleveland, OH where I gained experience working with high school division I prospects, Division I athletes, gym goers, and professional athletes from the UFC, NBA, NFL, and CrossFit Games.

I am excited to serve Lynchburg, VA in the same way encouraging and educating patients and athletes to be the Tier 1 version of themselves in everyday life or on the field of play.
