Orthopedics, sports medicine and anatomy have always been a passion for Nate. Nate was raised locally and attended Arapahoe high school playing soccer and running the short and middle distances in track. Due to a serious knee injury and extensive rehab his senior year, his interest in physical therapy/orthopedic sport medicine grew. As a student athlete he attended college at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. While at Rockhurst he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biology and finished with his Master’s degree in Physical Therapy before returning home to Colorado to pursue his career in orthopedic physical therapy and sports medicine.

Working with Nate at Physio Pro has been one of the best decisions in my athletic career.  The amount of improvement I’ve made has been incredible  and I finally feels confident in all my movements on the field.    I cannot thank you enough.

Nate has provided excellent care for my patients and athletes for the last 20 years.  He and his team will help you rebound from your injury and identify and treat your weakest links .  This is a true sports rehabilitation clinic.  I do not hesitate when referring to Physio Pro.

I had my knee replaced this spring. Nate at Physio Pro came highly recommended.  After my first session it was immediately obvious that Nate was very knowledgeable regarding my condition.  This was a difficult surgery for me to recover from, but I feel the honesty, professionalism and encouragement from Nate and his team aided in my recovery.

I found Physio Pro from a personal recommendation  after experiencing some injuries while running.  Nate quickly identified my specific issues, then he walked me through a series specifically tailored mobility and stability exercises and running drills to get better. It’s been a month, and my runs are already so much better and pain -free!
