As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Aikens has established himself as a dedicated physical therapist, currently serving at Spaulding Rehabilitation since 2025. In this capacity, he is responsible for assessing patients to determine the root causes of their pain and is committed to finding effective solutions to improve their quality of life. His expertise in chronic low back pain and chronic neck pain has distinguished him among his peers, earning him recognition for his advanced knowledge in these challenging areas.

Prior to joining Spaulding Rehabilitation, Dr. Aikens was a physical therapist at Plymouth Bay Orthopedics from 2022 to 2025. During his tenure, he provided comprehensive care to patients with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, further refining his clinical skills and patient-centered approach. His dedication and impact were acknowledged when he was voted the best physical therapist in South Shore, Massachusetts, by his former patients for two consecutive years—a testament to his commitment to excellence early in his career.

From 2018 to 2022, Dr. Aikens worked as an outpatient orthopedic physical therapist at National Physical Therapy. Here, he managed complex cases and contributed to the rehabilitation of numerous individuals, helping them regain mobility and independence. His ability to connect with patients and deliver tailored treatment plans solidified his reputation as a trusted healthcare provider.

Before embarking on his career in physical therapy, Dr. Aikens gained experience in the film industry. He served as an office production assistant at ABC Television from 2010 to 2011 and at MGM's "Zookeeper" from 2009 to 2010. These roles provided him with valuable organizational and communication skills that would later benefit his work in health care.

Dr. Aikens' academic journey began with an associate degree in natural sciences from Quincy College in Quincy, Massachusetts, graduating magna cum laude in 2012. He continued his studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, earning a Bachelor of Science in health sciences summa cum laude in 2014. He then completed a Doctor of Physical Therapy at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, New Hampshire, in 2018.

The values instilled by Dr. Aikens' upbringing have played a pivotal role in shaping his character and work ethic. Growing up in a family of six children facing financial challenges, he learned the importance of perseverance and hard work from his father, who often took him to job sites and taught him resourcefulness at a young age. This background inspired Dr. Aikens to consistently strive for improvement and never be satisfied with the status quo, a mindset that continues to drive his success. He learned the value of empathy and compassion from his mother, who started her career also working in healthcare caring for patients as a nurse and then gave up this career to raise her six children.

Initially aspiring to become a film director after high school, Dr. Aikens spent several years working in the film industry before realizing it was not his long-term calling. His experiences working alongside his father in construction sparked an interest in strength training and fitness, eventually leading him toward bodybuilding. Seeking a more impactful career where he could help others, he explored various options through an extensive personality assessment, which identified physical therapy as the ideal fit for his skills and interests. Since entering the field, Dr. Aikens has found fulfillment in making a difference in the lives of his patients.

Beyond his professional responsibilities, Dr. Aikens has demonstrated a strong commitment to civic engagement and community service. He has served as a trustee for his church and volunteered at homeless shelters and mental health facilities, reflecting his dedication to supporting vulnerable populations.

His achievements have been recognized through several awards, including being named Best Physical Therapist on the South Shore by the Patriot Ledger's South Shore Community Choice Awards in both 2024 and 2025. Additionally, he earned first place in a natural bodybuilding competition in 2017, an accomplishment that highlights both his personal discipline and passion for fitness. Dr. Aikens' contributions have also been featured in publications such as the 2024 and 2025 editions of The Official Community's Choice Awards South Shore under Plymouth Bay Orthopedic Associates.

In his personal life, Dr. Aikens considers fatherhood to be his greatest achievement and cherishes family time with his wife and two daughters. He also values exercise and self-care as essential for both the mind and body. Looking ahead, he aims to establish an online fitness business designed to reach individuals who may not have considered therapy or exercise as viable solutions for their well-being. His goal is to empower more people to live pain-free lives while promoting confidence and healthier lifestyles across diverse communities.
