Upcoming in June, Nate will celebrate his one year anniversary with Preferred Physical Therapy. He obtained his Kinesiology Degree with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology from K-State and went on to obtain his DPT from KU Med. Nate had always had an interest in the human body and held a passion for fitness. Although both are still big parts of why he enjoys physical therapy, Nate says it has also become a really meaningful way to meet people where they’re at and help them overcome a season in their life that can often be very dark and challenging. He says he likes educating people about their body and health, showing them ways to not just address their current symptoms, but help them learn how to optimize their life experience and empower themselves to become stronger for the long run, both physically and mentally. Because of his interest and passion for fitness, Nate specializes in treating CrossFit athletes in addition to avid weightlifters while also treating patients with neck, ankle, and back pain at our Lansing clinic. In Nate’s spare time, he enjoys music, CrossFit, anything Star Wars, volunteering for his church community, and has a passion for mentoring, teaching, and encouraging other people.
