Meet Joel Kangas, DPT, ATC! 👋 Originally from Illinois but raised right here in the U.P., Joel has always had a passion for movement and helping others stay active. After earning his Athletic Training degree from Northern Michigan University, he went on to complete his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Central Michigan University. He joined the Active PT team in 2019 after working with NMU athletes, including those training with the U.S. Olympic Education Center!
This holiday season, Joel is especially thankful for his wife, children, family, and faith. ❤️ When he’s not helping patients reach their goals, you’ll find him outdoors hunting, fishing, golfing, playing hockey, or skate skiing through the U.P. snow. ❄️
