Meet Ian! 👋🏻
•
Originally from Iowa, Ian earned a double major in Biology and Exercise Physiology from Luther College before moving to Austin, Texas to attend University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, where he graduated in 2022.
•
Growing up, he was heavily involved in football, soccer, track, and swimming—eventually competing in swimming at the collegiate level. After undergoing shoulder surgery on both arms, his athletic career shifted, but the experience gave him a deep, personal understanding of injury, recovery, and resilience. Because of his history, he has a special place for treating shoulders—though he genuinely enjoys working with all areas of the body.
•
Ian has been competing in powerlifting for over three years, which continues to shape his approach to strength, rehabilitation, and performance. He has been dry needling certified since 2022 and pursued continuing education focused on overhead athletes and rotator cuff pathologies.
•
His background as both an athlete and clinician allows him to bridge the gap between rehab and performance, helping patients return stronger and more confident than before!
